On Monday 2 May, Hollywood hunk Orlando Bloom could be answering your questions!

A week before the much-anticipated film "Kingdom of Heaven" opens in theaters, the Crusades-era epic starring Orlando Bloom has sparked another battle. Acclaimed author and scholar James Reston Jr. claims the film swiped the story line from his 2001 book, "Warriors of God: Richard the Lionheart and Saladin in the Third Crusade." [news.yahoo.com]

In his big scene in Troy as the impetuous lover Paris, he memorably scuttles from a fight towards the safety of the manly calves of Eric Bana. [smh.com.au]
