ORLANDO BLOOM - BLOOM 'HAS A SECRET DATE'

Hollywood hunk ORLANDO BLOOM allegedly spent an evening canoodling with a mystery blonde in Dubai, United Arab Emirates - despite dating movie beauty KATE BOSWORTH.

The LORD OF THE RINGS star visited the city last week (begs06DEC04) to promote its first International Film Festival.

But he reportedly spent the evening with an unnamed woman in the VIP area of exclusive nightspot Boudoir, while his American actress girlfriend of 18 months searched for houses in London to be nearer him, reports British newspaper the DAILY MIRROR.

An insider says, "Orlando brought this girl and they spent the entire evening together. They seemed to be really into each other. To be honest, everyone was surprised because it's well known he's dating Kate.

"The girl wasn't anywhere near as good-looking as Kate. But Orlando couldn't take his eyes off her."
