Kate Bosworth says she had actual vertigo after Orlando Bloom breakup
Kate and Orlando in July, 2006
Whenever I get vertigo it means I need to eat something, but I have blood sugar issues. I have to make sure to eat before I work out and bring snacks with me to the gym. That couldn’t be Kate Bosworth’s problem because she’s talking about the actual heartbreak she felt when Orlando Bloom broke up with her. She’s not getting confused about the fact that she forgot to eat for a few months, is she? Kate has a new interview with the London Times’ Sunday Style section in which she opens up about her split with Orly back in 2006. I guess she’s promoting Straw Dogs, which is out in the UK on November 4th. You can’t get online access to the Times Sunday Style unless you pay for a subscription, so I can’t read the full article because I’m cheap that way. It’s unclear to me why Bos brought up her five year old breakup and why she went on about it, unless she just wanted us to talk about her. Mission accomplished.
Breaking up with Orlando Bloom was really, really hard to do for Kate Bosworth.
After about four on-and-off years together, the Straw Dogs actress, 28, and the Hobbit star, 34, called it quits in 2006.
Bosworth (who broke up with Alexander Skarsgard earlier this year) is now dating director Michael Polish, and Bloom is happily married to model Miranda Kerr, with whom he has one son, Flynn, 10 months.
But Bosworth suffered mightily — even physically — in the aftermath of that 2006 breakup. “Oh, I definitely know the feeling of pain, that’s for sure,” she told England’s Sunday Times Style of the split.
“You know when you put all your chips into something, then it disappears?” she said of her relationship with the hunky Australian star. “[The break-up] sent me into such pain, I think I had actual vertigo. I was like, ‘Is this my new reality? Will anything be normal again?'”
“Then one day,” the Superman Returns beauty mused, “You wake up and you think, OK, I’ll never be the same, but I’ll survive and I’ll grow from it.”
Indeed, all seemed well between the exes during an unexpected reunion in L.A.’s Brentwood neighborhood in early July of this year. With Bloom astride his Ducati motorcycle, the former loves even shared a hug. “They looked cordial,” an observer told Us Weekly. “They were genuinely smiling to one another like friends, but didn’t linger very long.”

That “unexpected reunion” between Kate and Orly just happened to be captured by the paparazzi, so I would venture that it was staged by Kate like so many of her other outings. So after she “dumped” Alex Skarsgard (her side of the story, and I doubt it’s true, he’s just too classy to put his version out) she promptly got another boyfriend and made sure that there were photos taken of the two of them out together. Look Alex and Orly, I’m fine!
Other outlets have more details of Kate’s interview. She denies that she diets and just calls herself “naturally slim.”
“Oh, I swear it’s stress. I wish I could stop it, it’s like a vibration you live in with your mind constantly, constantly going. [Being thin] is nothing to do with not eating. I’m like a whippet, I promise you,” she insisted in an in interview with the Sunday Times Style magazine.
Kate insists her diet is healthy. The blonde beauty’s petite figure is all natural, which she knows might annoy some women.
“Ask any of my boyfriends about my diet and they would tell you,” she added. “But I hate this, I can’t win in this situation, can I? I mean, when people hear that, they just want to go ‘Shut the f**k up,’ right?”

Well at least she knows what people say about her. I get the “naturally slim” arguments, I have friends like that. When they’re stressed they don’t eat and overall they always eat smaller portions than I do. It doesn’t seem deliberate the way they do it, (like it is when I diet) but it’s the result of their habits and it’s not all due to genetics. I get that some people have higher metabolisms, but if you eat a lot of junk you’ll gain weight. It’s not just “natural” to be really thin, in my opinion, it’s a result of your habits.
Getting back to Kate’s breakup with Orlando Bloom, again why the hell is she still talking about it? Was she trying to say that she could relate to pain because she remembered how awful it was when they broke up? The dude is also famous, he has a famous wife and they have an adorable baby now. Kate should have come up with some other personal story to relate or just given a vague response to that question. It just seems in bad taste to bring up Orly now. I picture him rolling his eyes at this story and then giving his hot wife a wink.
