Ahoy, Captain Cuteness! In a truly romantic gesture, Orlando Bloom is refusing to star in a fourth “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie because he wants to spend more time with his girlfriend. Admittedly, most men would opt out of work if their girlfriend were Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr, but still, this kind of decision sounds more out of a chick-flick than real life. Apparently, Orlando’s “love-hiatus” is also his third effort to convince Miranda to be his wife. [Daily Mail]
Come on, Miranda! Turning down a multi-million dollar movie franchise to be with you has got to be a convincing factor. But Orlando is not the only celeb choosing love over all. After the jump our favorite celebrity love-aholics.
- Brad Pitt not only stopped acting to be a stay-at-home daddy. He also relocated to DC while Angelina was filming “Salt.” [Us Magazine]
- Even though Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens are both filming separate movies in Canada, their sets are just too far away. Which is why Zac told “E!” he would cross-dress to be on the same set as Vanessa in her next mostly-female movie, “Sucker Punch”. Aww, cute? [AZ Central]
- Some people go the distance to be closer to their loved one, but others like Judd Apatow just move their beloved instead. With the release of “Funny People,” the director will have cast his wife Leslie Mann in three of his hilarious films. Hey, if it works, why not mix business with pleasure? [Variety]
- Helena Bonham Carter and Tim Burton are another couple/business team that doesn’t have to compromise professional projects to spend time together. Always at each other’s side, Helena has starred in a slew of Burton’s amazing creations, including playing the Red Queen in Burton’s much-anticipated “Alice In Wonderland”. [NNDB]

My dear Orlando, there isn’t a woman alive that’s worth forfeiting a multi-million dollar contract. You are a good looking and talented man. If she won’t wait a few weeks or months to allow you to have the bucks for a world class wedding you’d better off on waiting for a woman with more intelligence. Also if she turned you down, the money would help you heal your emotional wounds.
Before the flamers jump on me, I do not think that money is more important then love, but multi-millions to start a life together can not be ignored.

Maybe he just wanted an excuse not to be in another pirates movie, and this seemed like the most tactful. I can’t believe they are making another, I seriously thought it was supposed to be a trilogy. I’m over them. Four is too many.

Orlando can marry me *and* be in the 4th film.

It’s been reported (by those always reliable Hollywood sources) that Disney is negotiating with Johnny Depp for Pirates 4 but that Bloom and Knightley will not be back. The reason? Disney is trimming its productions budget and all three stars would be too expensive. Maybe Orlando is just taking advantage of the situation.

WOW! I am *SO* out of the loop—I didn’t even know they were making a 4th!! however, if it doesn’t have all 3 stars, I don’t think it would be as good. :/
of course, even if Johnny Depp is the *only* one left, even if it’s just him and a boat, (or him and a CG image of a boat at that) then I would *still* go see it. I figure he’s pretty enough to look at by himself for an hour and a half
oh, and @fasteddie: Orlando Bloom probably has PLENTY of cash stored up for a world-class wedding, even w/o taking on another Pirates movie

Why can’t Orlando Bloom date any normal sweet women. They all look like strippers or fancy underwear models.
