These are some photos of Orlando Bloom, still in Ibiza yesterday, hanging out with a woman named Erica Packer. Does that name sound vaguely familiar? It should. Erica Packer is the ex-wife of James Packer, the Aussie billionaire Miranda Kerr has allegedly been boning for months. WTF, Orlando? First he tries to hook up with Selena Gomez, Justin Bieber’s ex, then he goes for James Packer’s ex? What is Orlando’s deal? This whole thing is just bizarre. Update: This may not be Erica Packer in the photos, but Orlando was definitely hanging out with Erica Packer in Ibiza.
So, I don’t even know what to say at this point about the Orly-Biebs situation. It’s just… bad. I feel sorry for Orlando Bloom, I guess. He thought some punked-out toddler was talking trash, so Orly wanted to take him down a peg. So, Orly took a swing and now everybody believes that Orly and Justin Bieber were fighting over Miranda Kerr. We also all believe that Miranda banged Bieber when she was still married to Orly. So… it sucks to be Orly. Anyway, The Daily Mirror had an exclusive eyewitness report about what went down inside the Ibiza club:
The bust-up between Justin Bieber and Orlando Bloom in an Ibiza restaurant involved more than one punch, according to a fellow diner who witnessed the whole thing. Eyewitness Anastasia Skolkova, a former journalist from Spain, was the first person to break the story by posting a video on Facebook and Twitter, showing Bieber and Bloom rowing outside of a restaurant in Ibiza.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror she said: “I went there with friends for dinner. We were on the table next to Orlando Bloom and Leonardo DiCaprio. There was also Lindsay Lohan, Puff Daddy and Erick Morillo at the restaurant. Justin said something when he came in which was aimed at Orlando, who then jumped onto a sofa to try and get at Justin. It was amazing. Everyone stood up and started watching like it was a show and clapping. There were actually two moments when it turned violent, it wasn’t just the one punch thrown. DiCaprio was flipping out and Lindsay Lohan was trying to calm them. Justin’s face was amazing. I posted the video on Facebook so people would know about it and it’s a very crazy video.
If you go to the Mirror link, you can see A video but I’m not sure if it’s THE video she’s talking about, because the video shows absolutely none of what she describes. You can see Orly walk over to Bieber, who looks like he’s being held back by his bodyguards (SO HARD YO) and Orly gets in Bieber’s face and then it looks like Bieber’s bodyguard puts his hand on Orly’s arm and that’s basically the end of it? Maybe I’m missing all the action. But the idea of Leo freaking out? Gold. And why in the world is Leo in the club with the Cracken and Baby Bieber?
As for Miranda Kerr, a source tells E!: “[Miranda] is in Spain and Europe now and is vacationing with the family and relaxing. Miranda wants all of this behind her and she just wants to move on from this and go about her life. She is very embarrassed about everything that has gone on.” Honey, you were the one who banged Justin Bieber. Obviously, you love the stupid-drama.

They’re both single so what’s the big deal? It’s not like either of their exes treated them with any kind of respect while they were in those relationships.
THIS.
Exactly
Right one…..Why make at more complicated? He is a good guy and gentleman after all…..and why not be friendly or whatever with James P ex? He is single after all. And for Justin, he is young punk, looking for troubles. Lucky for him this time around …maybe he is looking for a brute.
Exactly. Sometimes things work this way actually. Think Shania Twain. Two people who were family friends, got hurt by their ex-s, get together and are happy. Or just comfort each other. Looks nice to me. Gentile.
Shania is immediately who I thought of. Worked out well for them as they seem very happy. Why not bond, as friends if nothing else?
@Kori
Yep. And often in such situations there is a sense of camaraderie, a shared pain, which sometimes leads to more sharing. 🙂
That girl doesn’t look like Erica Packer to me. Even so, it’s not really out of line – they are now both single. Also, the Packers and the Blooms are old friends, so it doesn’t appear unusual that Erica and Orlando might still be hanging out together.
It’s not complicated: dude is not over his (ex?) wife. At all. Love his Basquiat shirt, though.
Was just about to comment on the t-shirt.
Also Ibiza has gone downhill with all these celebs going there now. It’s lost it’s appeal to me.
I went there 9 years ago and it was so much fun.
Orlando and Miranda were friends with the Packers for years and used to vacation together. James ‘Bull Mastiff’ Packer and Baby Alive announced their separations around the same time. Maybe two friends in similar situations finding comfort?
I don’t believe for a second that Miranda is embarrassed. She’s loving the attention.
+1
Its telling that her source to E News did not issue a categorical denial
“Baby Alive” LOL.
Totally agree she’s loving the attention. It’s kind of gross.
Orly, any actual jobs lined up? That is all.
I’m hoping the need for money and a successful next film will push him back to the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie coming up.
He probably will land in that. The guy needs to start working or he won’t be able to get work. There are too many other actors in the same age group and younger who’ll shove him out of the way.
ITA, Lilacflowers. I’m rooting for him but he needs to get a jump-start professionally and lay low with his personal life for a while.
This is so embarrassing.
Do you think he actually needs the money though? He was a big part of 2 HUGE franchises. He’s probably set for life, I get the impression he just doesn’t want to work.
He has been doing more independent films lately. Maybe he should stick with that or do more ensemble films.
A lot of indies and theater seem to be on his plate lately. Lucy2 is correct, he has made a LOT of money between movies and endorsement gigs. If he invested well, he doesn’t have to work another day in his life if he doesn’t want to. We should all be so lucky.
Yeah, that’s not Erica Packer. I’m Australian, I know this stuff.
@Jade, Correct Aussie! No its not, Erica Packer is simply one of the women in the group that Le Elf is hanging with.
Remember when Erica Packer was Erica Baxter and was Jason Donovans girlfriend??
I also remember when she dated Russell Crowe before he married Danielle and she married James.
She was one of my favourite Aussie models when I was growing up. Erica’s stunning.
Yep Australian here too, that is catagorically not Erica Packer.
I’m basically stanning Miranda Kerr now after all of the drama she’s caused. And that statement from her publicist about her being in Spain, not giving a fuck about any of this, is gold.
These people are weird.
I guess Cabo was not the Summer destination for Celebrities. All the action this year is in Ibiza.. goodness the celebrity gossip coming out of that place.
Maybe Orlando is trying to get some info on the ex husband. But she and Orlando look good together.
I was in Ibiza last June….it was so boring in comparison haha.
I need to get myself on a celeb yacht and watch them all making tits of themselves.
Yes to all of this. I guess it is not that boring anymore.
Boring, no. But Paris Hilton, Diddy, LiLo, DiCaprio, his #1 fan Bloom, Bieber, Efron and Michelle Rodriguez? They gotta’ be nearly out of the good booze by now and there isn’t enough hand sanitizer and penicillin in the world to make this Island of Misfit hasbeens and weirdos (and DiCaprio) inhabitable right now for me. I’m cool watching it from afar. I’ll visit during the off-season.
And Miss Kerr, you’re a modern day Helen of Troy. The face that launched a thousand pricks.
Ha!
Hilarious! 😀
Zing!
Excellent…but Diane Kruger did it better.
Well, Orlando Bloom played Paris, the Prince of Troy.
Does anyone here know Orly’s address so I can present him some humanitarian award and a fruit basket?
I’ll chip in for that.
Orlando has been friends with the Packers for years. I do not see a scandal here. Packer is divorced. Bloom is divorced. They have a friendship from years ago.
Didn’t this also happen to Shania Twain when she split after her husband ran off with their mutual friend’s wife?
I have no idea why it’s relevant, I just thought it was funny.
I thought of the same thing. She ended up marrying the guy.
Orlando Bloom and this lady have been friends for years. He and Miranda use to vacation with James and his wife. Just because Miranda and James ruined everything because they couldn’t keep it in their pants doesn’t mean these two can’t still be friends without it being about their exes.
The blue nail polish woman is not Erica.
Nope – not her!
Really, TMZ is the only site making Bieber look like the winner here and it’s probably because he’s feeding them tips in exchange for keeping yet another crazy video quiet.
Probably. TMZ and Bieber’s people apparently had a deal for exclusives for four years in exchange for not leaking the racist voice recordings. Apparently they have a vaultful of explosive gold tape like that over there. Actually sounds like they’re engaging in some mild extortion/blackmail, frankly.

It looks like these two are both trying to get theire respective former partners jelous.
At this point this story is not only bizarre but also pathetic.
I still am on Orly’s side though because i can’t stand neither Miranda or Bieber.
I think Orlando really loved/supported Kerr. The year after she had their child, and she walked in the VS Fashion Show, the cutest moment of the entire program was when she first came out and he stood and applauded for her. He looked so happy and proud, and she gave him a little look… They just seemed so connected and cute. It’s a shame.
Why is celebitchy trying so hard to shade my new hero? The Bieber Smacker? He could be sleeping with Justins mother and I’d still say good for him (actually that would be awesome)
I would laugh so long, and so hard, if he got papped with Bieb’s mom.
Biebers mom is about Orlando’s age isn’t she?
She’s 39 – so only a two year difference? Completely age appropriate.
This NEEDS to happen.
I´m sure Orlando would be a good dad to Bieber too 😉 This would be the first time someone disciplines this kid.
It would be amazing.
“Its ok, Justin, you can call me daddy…. Your mom does…”
The Biebs Instagram couldn’t handle the bitchiness!
I blame it all on Kerr. Remember when Packer got in a brawl with another guy? These people are all nuts.
Boys and men are brawling over her? I don’t get it.
I feel like bloom is having a mini meltdown at the moment. Partying on sidewalks with Selena Gomez, throwing punches at bieber. Partying with Logan, Paris and the likes in Ibiza. He seems to have lost the plot.
Yeah, he might be going off the rails. A lot of that going around.
I’m going to give it a pass if it doesn’t continue. I know plenty of people who went off the rails for a while after a divorce or the loss of a loved one, but they managed to get it together and move on with their lives. Granted they were doing stuff like quitting their jobs or getting unfortunate tattoos and not partying with celebutrash, but still. If he becomes a skeeve bag on a permanent basis I’ll be giving him the side eye, but if this is just a phase he has to deal with, I’m not gonna judge as long as his kid is happy and cared for.
Yes-he needs to get it together.
Lilo was the one calming them????? LOL this is just too much.
And anyway Miranda should be embarassed… for herself, she’s the one who banged the Biebs. That’s a lot to be ashamed about.
IKR?! Lindsay Lohan, voice of reason…lol!!!
I would have paid to see Leonardo Di Caprio’s face though. Never a good journalist around when you need one!
Even if it’s all purely innocent, and I think it is, that still doesn’t do anyone involved any favors IMO. Packer seems kinda’ gross to me. So it’s cool that Bloom and Kerr were friends with that icky, modelizing, CO$ fanboy for years? (In fairness Packer seemed to back off from CO$ publicly, if not privately. So he probably wasn’t in that deep. But even if he buddied up to Tom Cruise and CO$ for business that’s still icky and speaks to character.) Just like Bloom has been partying and vacationing for months and tagging along with DiCaprio and that’s cool and we’re not thinking anything of it? Doesn’t look cool when Bradley Cooper and Jonah Hill do it. Heck it’s getting old and not that cool for Leo – Former leader of the “P*ssy Posse” – DiCaprio to behave like DiCaprio. People lined up to shade Packer convinced that Miranda was hooking up with him, but no doubt the second Mrs. Packer is a noble woman who married him purely for love and his sparkling personality. And if she did, I’m truly sorry for my rudeness and cynicism and that she’s being dragged into this crap. 😀 IDK. I don’t get why people were and still are convinced that Miranda’s screwing Packer when they are business partners (right?) and there’s nothing even like two friends vacationing in Ibiza to go on. Bieber and Kerr take the cake in all this. But everybody involved seems weird and gross to me. It’s just on a spectrum.
that moment…when Lindsay Lohan appears to the most normal one. priceless…
I LOVE the Basquiat shirt, though. Need to get one!
the girl in those pictures is not Erica
Aww. It’s great that our Amanda is making international gossip headlines. She’s doing Australia ( and everybody it seems) proud.
Also, it’s August the first so I just want to wish Sarah Jessica Parker a happy birthday.
As much as I would love to see the “perfect people” of Tinseltown wither like a bug, this is not good to someone going through a rough patch at this time. I feel sorry and I Am madly in love with Orlando Bloom right now.
This is down right disgusting that his ex-wife would even comment about this and I truly despise it. This I am embarrassed Schlick is utterly and downright played out. She had a good man, it is bad enough that you were messing around with you ex-husband’s friend but what in your right mind would you mess with a little punk that doesn’t have his balls drop named Justin Bieber. Just stupid.
So Orlando, if you still hurt by this, I do understand but still move on and lay low. When you do, the best revenge is to find a really, gorgeous and sexy woman ( and I meant a woman of age like 27 +) that you can flaunt your love around with.
Miranda Kerr is gross and now has an incurable case of diaper rash.
This is a non-story.
Damn, you know shit is getting out of control when Lindsay Lohan comes out looking like the mature, responsible adult. 🎶 Lindsay Lohan: unlikely voice of reason 🎶
Seriously, the woman in the photographs is not Erica Packer. Are there other photos that show Orlando to be at least as cosy with Erica as these photos? Evidence??
Even if the woman were this person, why would it be strange? Is he supposed to only date women who have never dated anyone else before?
The Australian press have been reporting for a while that Orly and Erica were friends for years and that he introduced her to James. Not sure of the truth in that however.
Better question: Orly, what are you doing with your life? I think he can translate the collective goodwill we all feel for him in Bloom v. Bieber into at least a couple of jobs.
