Taylor and Orlando? Truth or Fiction?

The National Enquirer has been around since the 1920s, which means for over 85 years, they've been printing stories about celebrities. While they have scooped some stories that turned out to be true, there have been many, many, many more that were later proved to be complete fabrications that they paid someone for. So when they reported yesterday that Orlando Bloom is practically stalking Taylor Swift "bombarding" her with text messages and phone calls, all "begging her for a date," it should probably be taken with a grain of salt rather than cold, hard and verified fact!

Poor Taylor -- she must get pretty tired of her every move, outfit, and step being recorded, reported on and picked apart in the press. And that's just the true stuff - the rumors and fabrications must be hurtful and to see them all over the internet and in the grocery store line has to suck. While yes, she's a celebrity, she's also a person - a real live, honest to goodness person like you with feelings.

Imagine having a bad hair day and having it plastered all over the planet! What about boyfriend/girlfriend troubles? How would you like having them blabbed to the world with half or more of the "facts" being lies and then getting to read as people you've never met and probably never will pick them (and you) apart for sport? Now imagine tabloid A writing something that may not even be true and then having it quoted as fact on websites all over the internet. You've just gotten a glimpse into the real life of a celebrity.

Maybe Orlando Bloom does have a crush on Taylor Swift. Maybe the two will go out on a date. But what if it's all fiction that will now live forever on the internet?
