For some reason (well, actually for a whole lot of reasons) we always assume that celebrities that look good in front of the camera keep on looking gorgeous in everyday life. The fact is, most of them do - usually because once you start earning the big bucks, it becomes a lot easier to afford designer clothes and other small luxuries that make you look good seemingly effortlessly. This is valid mostly in the case of male celebrities, since their female counterparts - I'm talking about spoiled divas the likes of Mariah Carey - usually have a huge "entourage" made up of people catering to their every whim, on or off screen. I am beginning to wonder, though - where does "luxury treatment" begin, and where does common sense end?
Taking a shower is definitely one of the chores that a celebrity usually has to perform without any outside help. I said "usually". You wouldn't think it's such a big deal, though, is it? Some soap or shower gel, a lot of steaming hot water and it's all a done deal. Or is it? Now, what would you say if I told you that for Orlando Bloom, the swanky "Lord of the Rings" star, taking a shower is something horribly difficult? Well, yes, apparently Legolas stinks - big time - much to the dismay of his Victoria's Secret supermodel girlfriend, Australian bikini angel Miranda Kerr,
who quickly prompted her partner to take to the water and the soap more frequently. Apparently, Orly wasn't that impressed with her interference - so much so in fact that it's been causing a rift in their relationship.
"Miranda thinks Orlando is too smelly. Recently, she asked him if he could wash his clothes and perhaps shower more often", Star magazine reports. Yes, well, you'd better think this through Miranda. Water is the devil's plaything. Showers are how evil spirits get under your skin. You can't just shower every day, just like that. "He[Orlando]'ll wear the same jeans for a week before he throws them in the washer. Same goes for his sweaters, T-shirts and socks", the magazine also claims. Now, that's definitely not a pretty picture. Someone, quick, stage an intervention. Take Orly to stink rehab and teach him soap and water are our friends. Or she could just dump his smelly a*s. Just a thought.
