Orlando Bloom 'Throws Punch' At Justin Bieber Following Miranda Kerr Cheating Rumours

Orlando Bloom and Justin Bieber got into a heated altercation at Cipriani in Ibiza, Spain, early Wednesday morning, reports The New York Post.
After getting in each other’s faces—Bloom threw a punch at the pop star—the crowd cheered.
According to witnesses, Bloom took a swing at Bieber after the singer, 20, made a rude comment about Bloom’s ex, Miranda Kerr. But a source close to Bieber insisted that the comment was only made after Bloom took a swing, and missed.
“Justin was at one table, and Orlando was at another,” a source told The New York Post. “But when Bieber and his party were later walking past Bloom’s table, Orlando refused to shake Bieber’s hand.” Then “Bieber said something rude to Orlando, like, ‘She was good.'”
Another source close to Bieber countered that the pop star didn’t make any rude comment and that “Justin didn’t even know Orlando was there. But when they saw each other, it was Orlando who was just being an a-hole to Justin.”“They got in each other’s faces and there were words,” a source said. “But they were separated by their entourages.”
A witness captured 30 seconds of the confrontation on video and posted it to Facebook. It shows Bloom walking away from Bieber and being separated by a crowd, but then turning back to walk to Bieber and confront him.“When they were back together again, Orlando threw a punch at Bieber,” said a source. “He just tried to pop him! The whole place cheered.”
The bad blood between the two began in 2012 when Bieber was seen getting flirty with Kerr after a Victoria’s Secret fashion show, which reportedly led to tension between the model and her Hollywood star husband, Bloom. The married couple then separated in October 2013.
Then newly single Bloom was seen spending time with Bieber’s ex-girlfriend, Selena Gomez, in April.

Fastest Cars and Bikes in the World: A Combined List
The advent of technology and improvement in electronics, led to the fact that cars and bikes became more and more faster, yet safer. The long held mechanical prowess gave way to the electronically controlled, well, everything. Electronic speed limiters, electronic brake distribution, electronic traction control, et. all. Bikes and cars became, super bikes and cars and then a new category called hyper bikes and cars. Let’s have a look at the super and hyper cars and bikes.
We will be looking at both the non-commercial cars and bikes, along with their more known commercial counterparts. Hereon, cars will be tagged as Canines and bikes as Felines.
1. Thrust SSC – Jet Powered (Canine, Non-Commercial)
By far the fastest land vehicle holding the record for the fastest thing on wheels. Not only that the Thrust has actually broken the Sound Barrier, which means it can simply travel faster than sound. How’s that for speed? Here are the stats:
- Top Speed: 763 mph (1228.43 km/hr)
- Engine: After burning. Rolls - Royce turbo fan engine
- Thrust (Power): 223 kN
2. Dodge Tomahawk (Feline, Non-Commercial)
For those of us hoping to see the Bugatti Veyron at the second spot would be surprised to see a bike taking the honours. The only point of contention is that the Dodge is not only non-commercial but also has never been tested for top speed and all the details are more or less estimated. Nonetheless, the estimated details puts it above the rest of the pack.
- Top Speed: 298.14 mph (480 km/hr) [Estimated]
- Power: 420 hp
- Engine: 1275 cc
3. Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (Canine, Commercial)
Here is the true leader of the pack when it comes to practical use. This means that the Bugatti is the fastest street legal vehicle on wheels. No bike or car precedes it, other than the non-commercial variants. Here are the stats:
- Top Speed: 267 mph (429.87 km/hr)
- Power: 1200 hp
- Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.4 se
4. Hennessey Venom GT (Canine, Commercial)
Now here is a dilemma. The fourth spot goes to a car which has very recently won the Guinness World Record for the fastest car to accelerate from 0-300 kmph in just 13.63 seconds. Not only this record, but the Hennessey also did a 270.49 mph run, making it faster than the Bugatti, however, this would not go in to the record books. Why?
- Read more about the reason here:
Hennessey Venom GT does a 270 mph run beating the Bugatti Veyron and yet is not the fastest car!
The Hennessey, therefore, can out accelerate a Bugatti for the first 300 kmph and then right up to the top speed, but the Bugatti stays ahead; at least for the record books.
- Top Speed: 270.49 mph (435.4.9 km/hr) (Not a record)
- Power: 1200 hp
- Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.5 sec
5. Koenigsegg Agera R (Canine, Commercial)

Koenigsegg holds the fifth spot and was the previous record holder for the fastest 0-300 kmph speed achieving the feat in 14.53 seconds. The top speed of the car is the same as the Henessey’s but the acceleration is slower and therefore, makes it fourth in the overall list.- Top Speed: 260 mph (418.6 km/hr)
- Power: 1099 hp
- Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.9 sec

- Top Speed: 260 mph (418.6 km/hr)
- Power: 1099 hp
- Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.9 sec
6. SSC Ultimate Aero (Canine, Commercial)
This car held the fastest car tag briefly, before Bugatti Veyron Super Sport took over once again. Since then, other cars in the list have gone faster.- Top Speed: 257 mph (413.77 km/hr)
- Power: 1183 hp
- Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.7 sec

- Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.7 sec
7. 9ff GT9-R (Canine, Commercial)
This car ties with the SSC Ultimate Aero for the top speed but is slower on acceleration. Here are the stats.- Top Speed: 257 mph (413.77 km/hr)
- Power: 1120 hp
- Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.9 sec

8. MTT – Streetfighter (Feline, Commercial)
This is only the second bike in the all time list of fastest cars and bikes. The interesting aspect of this bike is that it is powered by a jet engine which was earlier powering real jets.
- Top Speed: 248.45 mph (400 km/hr)
- Acceleration: Not Available
- Power: 420 hp

9. Koenigsegg CCX (Canine, Commercial)
- Top Speed: 245 mph (394.45 km/hr)
- Power: 800 hp
- Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.2 sec
10. McLaren F1 (Canine, Commercial)
The original leader of the pack at the turn of the century, now stands at an overall tenth spot.
- Top Speed: 240 mph (386.4 km/hr)
- Power: 627 hp
- Acceleration: 0-60 in 3.2 sec
11. Zenvo ST1 (Canine, Commercial)
- Top Speed: 233 mph (375.13 km/hr)
- Power: 1104 hp
- Acceleration: 0-60 in 2.9 sec

12. MTT Turbine Superbike (Feline, Commercial)
This is the original jet powered bike from which the Streetfighter was conceptualized.
- Top Speed: 230 mph (370.3 km/hr)
- Power: 320 hp
- Acceleration: Not Available

Munich’s next top model – only 3 for Australia
The BMW M3 Edition Model is the latest incarnation of the M3 to be released from Munich. Based on the Coupé, the car will go on sale across the globe from July this year and production will be limited to six months.
The M3 Edition Model will be available in just four colours,
Alpine White Non-Metallic, Black Non-Metallic, Dakar Yellow Non-Metallic or Monte Carlo Blue Metallic.
Alpine White Non-Metallic, Black Non-Metallic, Dakar Yellow Non-Metallic or Monte Carlo Blue Metallic.
Engine specs remain as per the regular M3. That means you still get a hugely impressive 309kW from the 4.0 litre V8, capable of launching the car to 100km/h in 4.8 seconds. The sprint time can be further reduced to 4.6 seconds by ticking the optional 7-speed Drivelogic double clutch transmission.
Exterior tweaks include the kidney grille, bonnet openings, side gills and exhaust tips that are finished in a darkened chrome. The wing mirrors, too, are given a once over with black paint. Exclusive 19″ wheels are part of the package and can be optioned in the usual colouring, along with black or a special white contrasting colour with polished spokes. Sounds interesting! No pics of that white option from BMW PR, sadly.
The car has also been lowered by 10mm over a standard M3, however no detail is given. Until information to the contrary is supplied, we can assume that this is revised springs only.
Interior trim is dependent on external colour choice, with a variety of areas such as armrests, contrast stitching on the Black Novillo leather seats and door sills getting the M3 Edition Model treatment.
No idea on pricing for the Australian market at this point, but it looks like the M3 Edition model will be available down under with BMW’s press release (available after the jump) clearly announcing a worldwide launch.
UPDATE 2 June: BMW Australia have released a press statement on this car which reads “BMW Group Australia has been fortunate enough to secure just three exclusive BMW M3 Edition Models for Australia.” The cars will be here “towards the end of the year” and pricing is yet to be confirmed.
Supreme Performance, Exclusive Style: The BMW M3 Edition Models.
29.05.2009 – Munich. Powerful, aesthetic design, supreme performance and exclusive style – the unique characteristics of the BMW M3 are now available in highly attractive Edition Models focusing on the most outstanding highlights of these outstanding cars.
Based on the BMW M3 Coupé, the M3 Edition Models offer a choice of no less than four highly individual cars boasting perfectly harmonised modifications in body design and interior features as well as special light-alloy wheels and an even lower chassis.
The BMW M3 Edition Models will be entering the market worldwide in July 2009 in Alpine White, Black, Dakar Yellow, and Monte Carlo Blue. In the interest of supreme exclusivity their production period is limited to just six months.
Individual highlights both outside and inside.
On the BMW M3 Edition Models the exterior paintwork and interior design are individually matched to one another. Depending on the respective Edition model, the body comes either in Alpine White Non-Metallic, Black Non-Metallic, Dakar Yellow Non-Metallic or Monte Carlo Blue Metallic. The combination with BMW Individual High-Gloss Satin Chrome accentuates the truly sophisticated character of the Edition Models.

The combination with BMW Individual High-Gloss Satin Chrome accentuates the truly sophisticated character of the Edition Models.
The openings on the engine compartment lid on all models are finished in black, the BMW kidney grille, the side gills and the dual tailpipes on the exhaust system come in dark eloxy-plated chrome. The caps on the special BMW M exterior mirrors are likewise finished in black and are connected to the A-pillars by dual arms extending out of the mirror base finished in body colour.
Special colour highlights add an individual touch also to the interior of the BMW M3 Edition Models. The surfaces on the centre armrest, the centre console and the armrests on the door panels are finished in White on the Alpine White and Black models. At the same time these Edition Models come with interior trim in Carbon Structure Leather with white contrasting seams. The seats in Black Novillo Leather feature bespoke contrasting seams as well as vertical trim stripes on the upper section of the backrest and at the front of the legrest. On the Alpine White and Black models, these features come in white, on the Dakar Yellow and Monte Carlo Blue models they are in the appropriate exterior colour.
As a further feature the armrests and door closing handles at the inside on the Dakar Yellow and Monte Carlo Blue models come with yellow and, respectively, blue contrasting seams. And last but certainly not least, entry trim bars in Checkered Flag Design bearing the “M3″ model designation give all Edition Models yet another highlight.
Special rim design and lowered suspension.
To optimise the looks of the car, all four Edition Models come with specially designed light-alloy rims and a unique suspension: On all models the 19-inch forged M light-alloy rims in double-spoke design are available either in black or in the classic rim colour. And on the Alpine White, Black and Monte Carlo Blue models, the same rims are also available in a special white contrasting colour with polished spokes.

The suspension of the BMW M3 Edition Models adds to the sporting style of the cars, lowering the entire body by 10 millimetres or 0.4″.
BMW M3: supreme performance with eight cylinders and seven gears.
The BMW M3 Edition Models give this high-performance athlete a particularly striking look also reflected by the car’s supreme driving dynamics based on a unique all-round concept and drivetrain/suspension technology inspired by motorsport. The V8 high-speed power unit of the BMW M3 develops maximum output of 309 kW/420 hp from 4.0 litres.

The V8 high-speed power unit of the BMW M3 develops maximum output of 309 kW/420 hp from 4.0 litres.
Power is transmitted to the rear wheels either through the six-speed manual gearbox featured as standard or through the optional M double-clutch gearbox with Drivelogic enhancing both the dynamic performance and the all-round efficiency of the BMW M3 all in one. In this case acceleration to 100 km/h comes in 4.6 seconds (six-speed manual: 4.8 seconds) and average fuel consumption in the EU test cycle is 11.9 litres/23.7 mpg imp (six-speed manual: 12.4 litres/22.8 mpg imp)/100 kilometres.
The BMW M3 comes as standard with a lightweight carbon roof, while the options include Electronic Damper Control and the M Drive menu enabling the driver to configure individual, M-specific suspension and drivetrain functions just right for his personal style.
