Kevin Spacey caused a bit of a stir with the security staff of a London hotel recently when they mistook him for a burglar. Spacey was staying at a five-star hotel in London when the security staff was tipped off that there was an intruder on the roof. Rushing to investigate, the guards feared Spacey’s suite might be a target, and headed to his room to check. Receiving no answer to their knocks, the security staff let themselves in and found Spacey had climbed out a window and was crouching on a tiny balcony outside. According to a hotel employee, the Oscar winner said he was taking in the London view and was “smoking a roll-up." We’re not sure exactly what a “roll-up” is British slang for, but judging from Spacey’s efforts to conceal his little smoking session, we’re guessing it’s not a new brand from Philip Morris.

Britney Spears, reportedly feeling that her music career isn’t quite going as well as she’d like, has apparently decided to devote the next few years to acting. With her so-called comeback album, The Zone, not burning up the sales charts, Spears is supposed to be looking to follow Madonna into films, and hopes to gain a Bond Girl slot in the next 007 film. She’s even gone so far as to set up meetings with Bond producer Barbara Broccoli to discuss the possibility. We never thought we’d be saying this, but please people, for the love of all that’s holy, go out and buy this woman’s albums. NOW.

Orlando Bloom is reportedly planning to propose to his American girlfriend Kate Bosworth at an upcoming London awards show. The Lord of the Rings star is supposedly hoping to surprise his girlfriend when she least expects a marriage proposal. An insider has been quoted as stating Bloom likes to keep “tight-lipped” about his personal life, but has made “no secret” of being completely smitten by Bosworth, and claims that although the two maintain a cross-Atlantic romance, “they both just know it's right." Not to mention how convenient it will be having a wife on another continent when proclaiming you are not at all gay.

The stars of the smash-hit Blair Witch Project have apparently been having trouble finding acting work since making the film. Heather Donahue, Joshua Leonard and Michael Williams were certain they were set for stardom when the film became the surprise hit of 1999, but after making a tidy sum, the trio have struggled to find work since, and feel their careers have been cursed by the cult film. Yeah, your careers and everyone who wasted 86 minutes of their life watching this “horror” film.
