Koena Mitra to costar with Orlando Bloom in English film

Model-turned-actor Koena Mitra is all set to share screen space with British actor Orlando Bloom in English film 'Karna', which will be produced by Pritish Nandy Communications.

The film that is scheduled for release next year and is peppered with a lot of fight sequences will portray the athletic actress as a superwoman. "I have been to Beijing and Hong Kong for the special training", says Koena without revealing much details about the new venture.

Meanwhile, at the home front, Koena is playing a 'meaty' role in an Anant Mahadevan directed thriller 'Anamika,' based on the novel 'Rebecca.'

"I am also working with two new directors and the films are in a nascent stage right now," says the 'Khullam Khulla' girl, the song from the film 'Road' which shot her into glamourdom.

In the five years since she came under public spotlight, she has tried her hand at acting, modelling, stage shows and public appearances.

Looking back at her momentous years in the glamour industry, Koena believes that she has meticulously waited and worked to get big banner films.

"I think big banner names have an added advantage of getting a good response from the audience but one has to work hard also because even such films can fall flat. I have rejected a lot of films and item songs and I think that has been a wise decision,"

Keona says.

Hudson and Bloom Enjoy Steamy Kiss at Party

Hollywood stars Kate Hudson and Orlando Bloom have sparked rumors of a new romance after they were caught kissing at a Halloween party.

The pair got together at a bash Hudson threw at her home in Pacific Palisades, Calif., on October 27, and the actress didn't care who saw them -- including her recent ex, actor Dax Shepherd.

An insider tells OK! magazine, "Kate and Orlando were talking, drinking and laughing. Then they just started going at it. They made out for ages and looked like they were really enjoying themselves. They didn't care who was watching.
"After that first make-out session, they walked around and talked to everyone as a couple. They were inseparable for the rest of the night."

Another onlooker adds, "At one point, Kate and Orlando were kissing in front of Dax. But he didn't seem to care at all."

Hudson's divorce from The Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson was finalized just two days before her kissing marathon with Bloom, on October 25.

Other guests at the party included another rumored hot new Hollywood couple, Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon.

orlando bloom and mirander kerr

Orlando Bloom has reportedly been spending this past weekend romancing Australian model Miranda Kerr - which has fueled speculation that the the pair are dating.
In April this year, Orlando was seen house-hunting and took Miranda on a double-date at exclusive Asian restaurant Megu, in New York, over the weekend.
According to the Sunday Telegraph newspaper (Australia) the pair were apparently “smitten” with each other.
An onlooker said: “They looked really happy together, and spent most of the evening cuddling and touching each other. They definitely looked like a couple.”
The pair have previously denied they were a couple, with Miranda saying: “Orlando is a nice guy but we’re just friends. We actually ran into each other by coincidence and then someone took a photo, turning a molehill into a mountain.”
Orlando has also recently been linked to former ‘Friends’ actress Jennifer Aniston, but denied they were anything more than “just good friends”

The Pirates of the Caribbean star was driving through the city when he crashed into a stationary car during a chase with photographers last month. He escaped unhurt, but one of his passengers suffered a fractured neck. But Bloom says the group was relieved to have escaped without serious injury thanks to the emergency services who attended the scene. He tells US talk show host Larry King, It wasn’t a very pleasant situation. But yeah, it is all being resolved. And thankfully, you know, everyone involved is safe and making swift recovery. The police and emergency services came remarkably quickly, we were very lucky. Very lucky indeed. Bloom was under investigation of a felony hit and run because he initially left the scene of the accident after reporting it, but the Los Angeles District Attorney ruled he will not be prosecuted.

orlando in clear after crash

British actor Orlando Bloom will not face hit-and-run and drunk-driving charges following a car crash in Hollywood earlier this month.
The official report into the accident said Bloom, 30, was not driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
And a spokeswoman for the Los Angeles County District Attorney said "there was insufficient evidence he was trying to get away".
Bloom swerved and hit a parked car as he was being chased by four paparazzi.
Bloom's two passengers were injured and had to be treated in hospital.
Police said a 30-year-old woman in the front seat had cuts and bruises on her face, while a 35-year-old woman in the back seat fractured her neck.
Straight after the accident Bloom - who was uninjured - walked about 20m away from the scene to avoid photographers, but he later returned.
He told police he had been dazed by what had happened.
Bloom spent the night at the Cedars Sinai hospital to be with the second woman, a childhood friend.
The Pirates of the Caribbean star told police he was leaving a nightclub at about 0215 local time (0915 GMT) when a photographer began following him.

Cousin Blames Photographers For Orlando’s Crash

From starpulse.com: Orlando Bloom’s cousin has blamed the paparazzi chasing the movie star for the car crash that left one of the actor’s passengers injured on Friday morning. Photographer Sebastian Copeland insists his famous relative is “doing fine” after his early morning accident, but he was shaken up by the paparazzi army chasing him through Los Angeles, and that led to the crash.
Copeland tells “The Insider,” “Luckily, it was a fender bender and unfortunate, of course, because he was chased by paparazzi and we know from the past what fatal consequences it can have. Luckily, this time around, he is fine.”
Copeland isn’t surprised the police found no evidence to suggest Bloom had been drinking alcohol while partying at Los Angeles club The Green Room earlier in the night, because the actor doesn’t imbibe.
The photographer adds, “He is a non-alcohol drinker so I think he is a great role model.”
And Copeland hopes something can be done about what he calls “this frenzy the media has with celebrities,” before a star is seriously injured or killed in a car crash.
He rages, “I wish we could mandate something against this type of activity because it is bound to create more of this type of incident and puts people in danger and for what? A photograph of them coming out of a car or getting a Starbucks coffee?”

Orlando Bloom Case Going To The D.A. For Felony Review

The latest twist in the Orlando Bloom accident is that the police are now submitting the case to the L.A. County D.A.’s office, who will then make a decision on whether to file hit-and-run charges against the actor:

Bloom crashed a car into a parked Porsche just after 2:00 AM Friday. He walked away from the crash, leaving two passengers inside the car, one injured with a fractured neck. X17 shot video of Bloom walking from the scene. Several photogs then told Bloom he’d be in big trouble if he kept walking, and Bloom turned back and asked if someone would call an ambulance — suggesting he would call an ambulance — suggesting he did not call 911 before leaving the scene. That would be an important factor in deciding if this were a hit and run.

Orlando claims that an SUV, presumably one driven by paparazzi, cut him off and caused the crash. Police are interviewing photographers who were at the scene, and apparently there are also surveillance cameras filming at the time of the accident. You can watch the video shot by the paparazzi here.

If there were surveillance cameras going, presumably on buildings around the area, they will show what the pap’s video did not…what exactly happened at the time of the accident and what Orlando did immediately afterward. The paparazzi video starts as Orlando is walking away from the scene. It is only when photographers intervened and told him that he could be charged with hit-and-run did he turn around and return to the scene.

As he returns to the accident, you can see him fiddling with his cell phone, but it is unclear what he was doing. At no point does he put the phone to his ear to make a call. He does not appear to be overly impaired at the scene of the accident, although he was not issued a standard sobriety test either at the scene or the hospital. Video of Orlando and his friends before the accident appear to show him appearing at least tipsy.

My personal feelings on this are well-known…he attempted to walk away from the scene of an accident. Whether he caused it or not, I don’t know. But he did make a series of decisions that night which led to the accident, one of which was getting behind the wheel to start with. That would not have stopped a pap van causing the accident, if that is what happened (and we have no proof yet that it did), but it would have lessened it. These people have money the average person can only dream of…they can afford to hire a driver for their nights of partying. Hey, if Paris can figure that out, I’m sure Orlando can. It only takes one bad decision to create a lifetime of heartache, and this accident could have been a lot worse.
