This is SO sweet. Orlando Bloom was totally crushing on Katy Perry at DNC Day 4 when she rocked the stage with her performances of Rise and Roar and a fabulous speech. HollywoodLife.com has the EXCLUSIVE details on how proud the actor was of his girlfriend.

Orlando [Bloom] is by far Katy [Perry]s biggest fan, a source told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY. He is still in awe of how spectacular she was at the DNC last night, and is incredibly proud of her. Watching her on stage made him feel like the luckiest guy on earth. He captured every second of her speech and performances on his cellphone, and cant wait to watch it with her. Orlando is excited about their future together and his friends say they have never seen him happier.

OMG. How sweet is that??? The 39-year-old actor is clearly so infatuated with the 31-year-old Roar singer that he just couldnt contain his smile and had to get the whole thing on tape on July 28. And we are so glad to hear that hes her freakin BIGGEST FAN and already picturing their future together! Who doesnt want that kind of support from their significant other? Katy could have been nervous taking the stage at an event as big as the DNC, but knowing that she had her man in the audience backing her up the whole time must have been a huge relief!

See Katy Perrys Rise music video right here!

Something else that totally made Katys speech a cute moment between the two was the fact that Orlando actually wrote one of the lines she said at the podium Its not where you come from but what you grow into. She later admitted to an adoring fan, who tweeted the quote,Lando put that one in, with a big red heart emoji next to it. All we can say in responses is, #LandoAndKaty4Ever!

HollywoodLifers, do you agree with Orlando? Was he the luckiest guy on earth that night?

WIL: If you"re kind of sick of superhero movies,

maybe supervillains will be more your speed? It"s

a tale as old as time, one our ancestors would sit

around the fire to tell.

Of course, i"m referring to the story of humans being

trapped in the bodies of cats.

Here are the new movies hitting theaters.

JOKER: A joke a day keeps the gloom away!

JOKER: You ever dance with the devil in the pale

moonlight? Never rub another man"s rhubarb!

JOKER: We really should stop this fighting, we"re

gonna miss the fireworks.

And here we go!

THERE"S SOME BIG SHOES TO FILL WHEN IT COMES TO PLAYING

BATMAN"S GREATEST ENEMY, THE JOKER.

FROM CESAR ROMERO, TO JACK NICHOLSON AND HEATH LEDGER,

JARED LETO HAS A HIGH BAR SET FOR HIM THIS WEEKEND

NINE LIVES IS RATED PG.

And that"s the only joke in the movie.

I know, why is stooping this low, to be playing a

cat! It"s disappointing.

Both are disappointing.

The Suicide Squad is getting pretty bad reviews, the

fans are petitioning for Rotten Tomatoes to be shut

down.

Because...

Because the movie is getting bad reviews, and shutting

down Rotten Tomatoes will somehow make it good.

It makes no sense.

What?

And I thought the trailer looked like it might be

fun! If they just had fun with it! But turns out...

And they went too serious with it.

Probably.

It"s just not the way to go with that.

And Kevin Spacey is having too much fun.

Maybe a little too much fun.

Well good luck

Thanks.

We"ll see your reviews on Monday on News 3 This Morning.

Nike Golf moving away from equipment, will shift focus to apparel


TIGER WOODS, RORY McILROY & NIKE GOLF INTRODUCE THE NEW VAPOR IRON FRANCHISE

To great fanfare in the Middle East in an announcement featuring lasers, videos and music the second week of 2013, Rory McIlroy signed on with Nike. Six months later, Tiger Woods re-upped with Nike.

Now it looks like both have to start playing different equipment.

Nike, the largest maker of sporting goods in the world, announced Wednesday that its golf division will transition out of equipment golf clubs, b***s and bags and instead focus on expanding its golf footwear and apparel business.

Were committed to being the undisputed leader in golf footwear and apparel, Nike brand president Trevor Edwards said in a statement. We will achieve this by investing in performance innovation for athletes and delivering sustainable profitable growth for Nike Golf.

No timetable was given for the transition.

Nike Golf division sales fell 8.2% to $706 million in the fiscal year that ended in May. Its sales peaked in 2014 to just under $800 million.

The company, which first introduced clubs in 2002, has struggled to attain a solid portion of the market share with its golf equipment, with its sales far below those of competitors such as TaylorMade and Callaway.

"As a Nike athlete I am really sad to hear about this. I love a lot of their products and hope they will be back," Jhonattan Vegas tweeted.

Woods joined Nike in 1996 remember Hello, world and has played the ball and with 14 Nike clubs in his bag since 2010. But when and if he returns after missing the 2015-16 season as he rehabs his surgically repaired back, what will be in his bag?

Well certainly look at other equipment options, but that doesnt take away the fact hes been an iconic and enthusiastic figure for Nike Golf and h**l continue to be. That wont change at all, Mark Steinberg, Woods agent, said in a phone interview. But we have to be pro-active when it comes to equipment.

The future is unclear for McIlroy, too, as well as Brooks Koepka, Paul Casey, Tony Finau, Kevin Chappell, Michelle Wie, Suzann Pettersen and others on the playing staff for Nike. Each player has a contract with Nike, with specifics on the number of clubs they have to have in the bag and the apparel they have to wear.

But one former member of the Nike team, 2011 Masters champion Charl Schwartzel, has already moved on. He left the company in July and had Parsons Xtreme Golf equipment in his bag at the British Open.

Emirates flight EK521 crash: Why passengers think about bags, not lives in emergency


Emirates Airline flight crash-lands at Dubai airport - amateur video

The miraculous escape of 282 passengers and 18 cabin crew members aboard the Emirates flight EK521, which crash-landed in Dubai on Wednesday, is vividly captured in a video that has now gone viral.

For survivors, it sure was a miraculous escape since seconds after the last person left, fire engulfed the plane. If one were to track social media posts on this incident, appreciating the obvious professionalism of the flight"s crew, pales in comparison to the vitriol against Indians in general, and Malyalees in particular. There were thankfully zero casualties in such a dangerous incident as the flight"s crew succeeded in getting everyone evacuated in time. The flight originated in Thiruvananthapuram, and majority passengers were Indians.

But instead of appreciating the crew, social media is in a bind over the fleeing passengers (mostly Indians) insisting on also carrying their luggage out of the inferno. There are various allegations and racial posts out there, suggesting that such behaviour is peculiar to Indians and to Malyalees.

The assumption clearly is that it is only people from a certain race or region who think about securing their worldly possessions even in times like these. Unfortunately, aviation history is replete with examples of people of different races doing exactly this: disregarding the danger to their lives as well as their co-passengers" and pouncingfor bags. So this love for worldly possessions is not an Indian or a Mallu thing it is a common reaction, and most passengers reach for their bags when leaving an aircraft in a hurry, no matter which part of the world they were born in. When a British Airways aircraft caught fire at Las Vegas in September 2015, similar instances of passengers carrying their handbags out of the plane were seen, with widespread condemnation.

"F*****g rats. That was the term a person used to describe Indian passengers aboard an Emirates plane that crash-landed Wednesday at Dubai airport, says this story from India Today, ostensibly quoting a cabin crew member from another airline.This person was reacting to the love for luggage that fleeing passengers showed.

And this post lists out instances where passengers who were not from India indulged in similar behaviour during an emergency aircraft evacuation earlier, across the globe.

Remember, emergency evacuation could mean having to slide down chutes, getting off the plane in hostile external environment etc, and even if bags have been secured, they may be impossible to carry once a passenger has left the aircraft. Bags damage evacuation chutes but more importantly, they take away precious time from the evacuation process.

Although one doesn"t want to put too fine a point on this, vanity bags and laptops need not be a priority in a time like this. In the Emirates crash-landing incident, passengers may have been unaware about the impending fire, but an emergency evacuation automatically means they should have just followed instructions from the crew for a speedy exit instead of clutching their bags.

There is no law against taking bags while fleeing an aircraft, it is merely common sense.

Another uncomfortable question: who actually found time to film the chaos, when only seconds were available for leaving the aircraft? Cabin crew are trained to evacuate an aircraft in 90 seconds, for a reason. Every second counts in emergency situations. Perhaps it is time that passengers boarding an aircraft are specifically trained about the perils of clinging to their worldly possessions when lives are at stake.

Some aviation professionals are suggesting that carrying hand baggage into the cabin itself should be banned; no bags at hand, no temptation to think of them instead of the safety of fellow passengers in emergency situations. This may be a bit drastic but some training of passengers is definitely called for

That the cabin crew of this Emirates flight showed exemplary professionalism is not in doubt. Emirates chairman Sheikh Ahmed Bin Saeed said in a press conference, after the incident that "evacuation procedures were followed professionally. Cabin crew were the last to leave the plane".

This post from ABCNews also lists out steps that have been considered in the past to prevent people from running out of a plane with their bags, One suggestion has been the automatic locking of overhead bins in the aircraft to prevent such temptations. It seems the aviation industry has been considering whether to install this feature on aircrafts for some time.

Till the aviation industry figures out what to do to get passengers to refrain from grabbingtheir bags while sliding down emergency chutes, perhaps we all should start actually watching the safety videos (drills) which are shown at the start of each flight. And put a little more trust in the men and women who ensure that our lives are saved in times of crises by remaining on board till the last passenger has deplaned safely.

Rush-hour commuters were tonight warned to avoid London Bridge station after a fresh sinkhole opened up under the track at Forest Hill

Rail operator Southern said capacity into the station was severely reduced while Network Rail repair the 30cm-wide hole, the second to emerge in less than three weeks.

Engineers are currently working at the site to fix the problem, which could take several hours.

Im really sorry that passengers have had to put up with this disruption today and I know that people are upset and will want to know we are doing everything we can to return their railway to them.

It comes amid another chaotic day for travellers across the capital with several services delayed and cancelled as a result of the sinkhole.

Disruption on London Overground, Thameslink and Southern Rail services is set to last until at least the end of the day.

Southern services towards London Bridge are affected, with trains unable to call at Norwood Junction, Anerley, Penge West, Sydenham, Forest Hill, Honor Oak Park, Brockley, and New Cross Gate.

London Overground services are unable to run between New Cross Gate, Crystal Palace and West Croydon.

Thameslink services are unable to run between East Croydon and London Bridge.

Train tickets were being accepted on buses and London Underground on any reasonable route.

Disgruntled passengers vented their frustration on social media to described their travel woes.

John Burgess said: Another sinkhole at Forest Hill! More delightful times trying to get to work.

Andy S added: Yet another sink hole spotted by @networkrail at Forest Hill. Quite why they didnt check for it the last time #incompetent.

Last month, passengers endured three days of travel disruption after a 13ft-deep sinkhole opened up at the south London station, close to the site of the new void.
