[HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ORLANDO!]

Happy Birthday, Orlando! You've brought us so much joy over the years and I wish the same for you. Hope you have a great day with the ones you love.

[L&OD available now ON Netflix!]

Good news! Thanks, Jan. I've had that one on my Netflix 'saved' list for a while.just waiting.

My son watched one of his dinosaur documentaries on the computer with their viewer a while back and it went really well for us too.

[The Red Circle]

The more I hear about this, the more excited I get! Maybe I'm just extremely happy to have another film to look forward to, but I trust his judgement. I'm sure he's thought about what he's doing and is choosing what's best for him.

Stache or no, I-CAN'T-WAIT! Now I'm off to visit Netflix and see if I can check out the original version.

Thanks for the info. ladies.

[Happy Birthday, ORLANDO!]

Dearest Orlando,

I wish you the happiest of birthdays. My prayer for you is that you'll always feel love around you and experience good health, happiness, prosperity and continued success this year. May you be truly blessed as you continue to let your light shine to the world and give of yourself. You've given us so many special moments and I thank you for that. I'm really proud to be counted among your fans.

[Orlando visits children in Nepal on UNICEF tour]

God bless him. That's the cutest, sweetest thing ever. Aside from the fact that he's doing something good for someone else again, I love the fact that he looks like the younger, more free and uninhibited Orlando in these pictures - like a little kid again from the LotR days.

Thanks, Jane!

[PICS: In Celebration 'Professional' Arrive/Depart]

Oh my, my, my. Orlando just looks soooooooo incredibly good in these. Well, he always looks great, but these are especially nice.

Thanks ever so much, Jan and John.

[Last Night At the Theatre]

I was so excited to get your EM last night, FLC. You know I was on pins and needles all weekend for you and EL. It's so nice to hear how moved Orlando was and of the general atmosphere there. I can imagine it'll be something you'll remember forever.

[PICS: In Celebration 'Professional' Arrive/Depart]

Really, Jan?! The moustache is gone already?

I can't wait to see! Thanks for the heads-up. I'll keep looking around and checking in here for any pics you might find.

[Director's Cut! Finally.]

Oops! I can't believe I'm saying this, but I had forgotten this was happening this month. Thanks for the reminder, ladies.

[In Celebration - Fan Pictures]

Aww, the pictures are wonderful. You lucky, lucky kB'ers.

Thanks so much for sharing them for us to enjoy.

[PICS: In Celebration Press Night - Onstage]

Thanks very much, Jan. Seeing pictures like these gives those of us who can't see the play another glimpse at what it's like I love those priceless faces.

[PICS: In Celebration Production Stills]

Oh wow! I don't come here for just ONE day and look what happens! What a fabulous surprise to come back to today. I can easily see the emotion and intensity on his wonderfully expressive face. Wibble.

Thanks so much for bringing these here, Geri, Rona and Millisa. I aplogize if I left anyone out.

[Thanks to all]

Goodness. Further evidence of the sweetheart he is. But of course we've always known Orlando is special. Just one more reason out of about a million to love him.

Thanks to LoriV and Sonia for the message and also to the staff for sending the flowers in the first place.

[VIDEO: In Celebration]

Thanks so much for sharing these with the rest of us, ladies. I really appreciate it and I know you'll treasure the memories of seeing him and chatting with him. He's so precious.

Looks to me like some lucky gal across from y'all was getting a pretty good hug and smack :samooch: there at the end of the video. What a sweetheart he is to his fans.

[ka-Bloomie reviews - In Celebration]

Seeing these great reports makes me incredibly happy for Orlando. Bless him. It's not that I doubted him in the least, but I've just always been anxious for others to openly acknowledge what we already see in him. I hope this is a step in that direction - for him to finally get the respect and recognition he deserves for his talents. I'm so proud.

Thanks to everyone who has reported in and relayed messages so far. I can't wait to read more!

[In Celebration, 5th July , Duke of York's Theatre]

I'm so antsy that I can hardly sit still. I've been keeping my mind occupied cleaning house.

Bless him. I know he'll be great and I'm definitely there in spirit. I said a prayer and I'm sending all the hugs and good vibes his way I possibly can.

[One magazine]

Those are great scans and he looks amazing, as always. Thanks very much, Anar and Judi.

[Ka-Bloomie Reviews]

I'm not going to go into a lengthy post of all my thoughts about the movie because they're much the same as everyone else's. My favorites are mostly the same as the ones already mentioned and the few things I didn't like are about the same as well. I just wanted to pop in to say how much I loved the film and how much I'm enjoying all the discussion. It's just wonderful and fascinating to me and has made my experience even better, if that was possible.

Orlando was amazing in this and his final version of Will Turner has really done a number on me. I can't describe how he made me feel and I can't get it out of my head either. All I want to do is see this movie continuously.

Hugs all around!

[POTC: At World's End Soundtrack]

I just got the soundtrack a few days ago and I can't stop listening to it. I simply can't get enough - especially of One Day and I Don't Think Now is the Best Time. Those two songs bring back the most memories for me from the film and make me long to get back to the theater, which I'm planning to do in a few more days.

I love all 3 soundtracks, but this is definitely my favorite of the 3. I've downloaded it onto my MP3 player too so I can listen while I'm on the treadmill.

[In Celebration by David Storey]

I'm sad to say that I can't spend the money to fly on over and see it for myself so I'm going to have to put myself in the "tell me absolutely every detail" group.

[Total Film (UK), July 2007]

Thanks for the scans! It's a great interview and I wish we had a clip of it.

Just as a WARNING for anyone trying to stay clear of SPOILERS, Keira gives away a pretty big one in the article- at least in my opinion it's a spoiler, regarding Will/Elizabeth. Just wanted everyone to be aware of it beforehand if possible.

[Orlando to make West End Debut!]

Thanks for the little teaser, Jan, LoriV and Orlando's mum. Very interesting.

[Orlando to make West End Debut!]

I'm really happy for Orlando because I know he's been talking about and wanting to do this for a while. The mama in me is bursting with pride for him, but at the same time my selfish side wants to make me just a bit sad that I won't see him on the big screen for probably quite a while after AWE.

I wish him all the best and I have no doubt he'll be amazing - he always amazes me. I know the UK kB sistahs will come out in droves to support him. I wish I could join you! I'll be at every performance in spirit.

[PICS: POTC: AWE Books]

Thanks for making that sacrifice for us, Jan. I know that was quite a chore. These are great! Hugs for cleaning, Geri.

[Sri Lanka....or bust]

Bless him. I'll be watching and waiting, LoriV. Thanks so much for letting us know.
