Actors dating super models is not a new trend. But Orlando Bloom seems to have it down to an art form. His latest conquest is Victoria's Secret hottie Miranda Kerr. They've been dating for all of four months now, which is basically a lifetime by Hollywood standards.


Seen yesterday, the couple stopped to fill up for gas and Orlando stuck his head in the window for a quick kiss. In unison now...awww. But apparently just dating Orlando and being a world famous super model isn't enough for Miranda. Something is missing in her life.

Do preteen boys need fragrances? Disney thinks so. They are creating 'Pirates of the Caribbean' and Buzz Lightyear-branded fragrances which are aimed at boys ages 4-11 in Latin communities. Brandweek reports that the new products will be be available in Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target, Duane Reade, Fred Meyer and Longs Drugs stores in areas with large Hispanic populations.

The Disney-branded items will sell for $9.95 and $19.95 and they will be targeting mothers and grandmothers for holiday gift giving. According to the article, U.S. males are slower to get into fragrances than European, Latin and South American boys so the Disney fragrances are expected to give them a push. Baby colognes for both boys and girls are already an established part of European and Latin culture.

The only croc I can fully accept at Disney is Captain Hook's nemesis. I can barely tolerate the normal-colored Crocs on the feet of tourists. Imagine my horror when I went to Disney World this last Saturday and found the entire place invaded by Crocs... and not just normal-ugly Crocs, but special-ugly Crocs.

For example, in the Pirates of the Caribbean gift shop, I found these orangey-red and black pairs riddled with nearly unidentifiable skulls and crossbones. Then, when I stepped outside, I saw some obnoxiously colored Crocs with Mickey-shaped holes.

Oh, when will the Crocs madness end? Granted, they're super-comfortable, but Crocs, I don't know, cheapen every outfit. Keep them off if you're doing more than making a 15-minute run for milk. I have no idea how long this has been going on, but, frankly, I am appalled that Disney has allowed Crocs to infiltrate their land and spread the evil to the kiddies.

Won't someone please think of the children?!
