Earlier this week, photos that appeared to show Orlando Bloom hooking up with Selena Gomez surfaced online.
Given Orlando’s past beefs with Justin Bieber, the photos probably would’ve gained plenty of notice even if Bloom had been single at the time.
As it is, Bloom is dating Katy Perry, and the Internet went absolutely nuts over the prospect of an Orkana love triangle.
(That’s Orlando, Katy and Selena mashed into one name. Hey, they can’t all be gems!)
We all know Katy is not one to shy away from a public feud (Right, Taylor Swift?), but it seems that in this case, she’s eager to put the kibosh on this story before it gets off the ground.
Last night, Katy got in front of the rumors in a very direct way by singing Bloom’s praises on Twitter:
“Instead of giving energy & eyeballs to dumb conspiracy [trash emoji] check out how COOL this is,” Perry tweeted, along with a link to Bloom hanging out with orphans in Ukraine as part of his work as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador.
To make things even more interesting, Selena herself offered up an encouraging subtweet:
“#killemwithkindness – one day they’ll get it lol,” the 23-year-old singer wrote.
So maybe everything is actually kosher between these three?
Whatever the case, Katy’s latest tweets don’t jibe with her social media activity from earlier in the week, which seemed to indicate that Selena had taken a much darker view of Orlando’s alleged infidelity.
So maybe she believed the rumors and then Orlando explained that he and Selena are just friends?
Sadly, we may never know for sure.
Unlike her feud with Taylor, it seems like Katy is playing this one close to the chest.
Hey, speaking of Katy’s chest:
