Watch Orlando Bloom's dog Biggie Smalls crash his 'Today' interview: 'Only on live TV!'
Orlando Bloom's Today show interview was briefly paw-sed on Monday by his adorable teacup poodle, Biggie Smalls.
The 48-year-old Lord of the Rings alum was in the middle of discussing his decades-long film career with co-anchor Savannah Guthrie when Biggie made his presence known by repeatedly barking offscreen.
'Oh my God, we have to introduce somebody,' Bloom said, quickly scanning the studio for his dog. 'He's looking for attention.'
Guthrie agreed that they needed to 'pause the interview' to properly address the pup, who could be seen happily sitting in the arms of Materialists star Dakota Johnson.
'Your dog has found his new owner,' Guthrie teased. Turning to Johnson, Bloom replied, 'Oh my God! I can't believe it. Are you gonna take him?'
Johnson was fully on board with the idea. 'He's mine,' she agreed. Bloom added, 'Dakota is stealing the dog. I love it.'
Bloom confirmed that his adorable furry friend tags along with him everywhere he goes. 'Normally he keeps quiet as a mouse, so there you go,' he said. 'He's having separation anxiety!'
But Biggie wasn't done stealing the show just yet. When Guthrie and Bloom attempted to switch gears back to their interview, the dog began barking for his dad once again.
'Should we bring Biggie over?' Guthrie asked the Pirates of the Caribbean actor. 'Biggie, come over because I have a serious question.'
Johnson then carried the dog across the studio as her Materialist costar Chris Evans gleefully watched the scene unfold from the Today couch.
'Do you love dogs?' Guthrie asked her, to which the actress responded, 'I'm just the babysitter. I'm just the nanny.'
She then passed Biggie over to Bloom, who sat down with the dog and gave him some much-needed pets. 'Thank you, Dakota. I love it,' Bloom said. 'Only on live TV.'
Biggie, who Bloom described as his 'emotional support animal,' barked a third time during a conversation about Bloom's upcoming boxing film, The Cut. 'Oh my God, Biggie never barks,' Bloom confessed. 'He's really enjoying his moment.'
Guthrie, in response, playfully called the dog a 'diva,' adding, 'Okay, we see you, Biggie. He is, honestly though. He's got a face for stardom.'
Bloom agreed. 'He does have a pretty cute face, he's gonna steal the show,' he said. 'I love it.'

‘The Materialists' is a must-see romantic comedy that asks the impossible: choosing between Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans
One of the best things about writer-director Celine Song's 2023 debut feature 'Past Lives' is the way it sneaks up on the viewer with its cumulative emotional resonance. I wasn't sure if Song could replicate that response with her second film, the romantic comedy 'Materialists,' but watching the movie gave me the same mix of melancholy and hopefulness that I took away from 'Past Lives.' 'Materialists' (in theaters June 13) may be glossier and more comedic than 'Past Lives,' but it has just as much power to move audiences who are open to its perspective on love. That perspective seems a bit cynical at first, but just as the jaded characters start to embrace the prospect of genuine romance, the movie reveals the pure heart underneath its snarky, aloof exterior. New York City matchmaker Lucy (Dakota Johnson) is full of snarky observations about the ruthless world of dating, even as she sells her clients on the dream of meeting and falling in love with their perfect match. She tells a co-worker that she plans to die alone, and she clearly doesn't need someone to make her life complete. That, of course, is exactly when most rom-com characters meet The One. Lucy meets two competing prospects for The One at the wedding of one of her clients. The groom's brother, Harry (Pedro Pascal), is a suave, wealthy hedge fund manager who isn't interested in engaging the same services that helped his sibling find a match. Just as Lucy is chatting Harry up and giving him her sales pitch, she spots her ex-boyfriend John (Chris Evans) working as a cater-waiter, still struggling to make ends meet while he pursues his dream of being a theater actor. From those two chance encounters, Lucy sees two divergent options for her future. She's painfully aware of the compatibility metrics that produce the most fruitful matches, and she tells Harry that he could do much better, even as he pursues her relentlessly and insists he isn't interested in anyone else. Meanwhile, she stays in touch with John even though — as an uncomfortably relatable flashback reveals — she already knows that it won't work out between them. In both cases, the conflict often comes down to money, and Song handles that touchy subject with grace and honesty. Romantic movies often pretend that financial challenges don't matter, but Lucy is upfront with both Harry and John about how their respective financial situations affect her perceptions of them. In her business, income is just as important as any other factor, and building a long-term relationship means forging a life in which both partners are able to contribute. The first half of 'Materialists' is full of sly humor about this often unspoken but crucial aspect of finding a partner, and Song channels the witty, literary voice of filmmaker Whit Stillman, an expert chronicler of upper-class neuroses in movies like 'Metropolitan' and 'The Last Days of Disco.' At the same time, Lucy never comes across as unsympathetic, even with her somewhat mercenary tendencies, thanks to Johnson's sparkling, playful performance. Harry and John may not be professional matchmakers, but they both understand what's at stake as well. Harry doesn't flaunt his wealth, but he doesn't hide it, either, and he knows it's an asset for him with any woman he pursues. But he also truly respects and cares about Lucy, and Pascal exudes enough warmth and tenderness to make up for his character's reprehensible profession. So many romantic comedies set up obvious rooting interests, with one blatantly superior match who has to wait around for the protagonist to realize what the audience already knows. Song doesn't stack the deck that way, and both Harry and John are equally appealing both for Lucy and for the viewers, until the moment when she realizes what the right choice will be. There are heavy themes in 'Materialists,' especially in the second half of the movie after Lucy faces devastating news about one of her clients. Even when the story gets more serious, though, Song never loses the aspirational tone. This is a gorgeous movie, shot on luminous 35mm film, recalling smart, swoony romances like Woody Allen's 'Annie Hall' and Richard Linklater's 'Before' trilogy. Song effortlessly maneuvers Lucy into believing in true love again, and she works the same magic on the audience.

Dakota Johnson Is ‘Babysitter' To Orlando Bloom's Dog
Orlando Bloom's pet pooch, Biggie Smalls, is one lucky dog. He not only has one of Hollywood's best actors wrapped around his finger but also has actor Dakota Johnson as his 'babysitter,' although temporarily. Biggie Smalls was recently seen resting in Johnson's arms when Bloom was giving an interview on Today. And before anyone knew, the pup hogged the limelight and upstaged the actor with his little barks and adorable look. Orlando Bloom recently visited TODAY's studio on June 9 to talk about his new movies — Prime Video comedy 'Deep Cover' and drama, 'The Cut' with Savannah Guthrie. And the actor was not alone. He bought his fur baby, Biggie Smalls, on the sets. While talking about the films, their conversation was interrupted when Biggie Smalls started barking off-screen. Soon after, Bloom introduced his teacup poodle to the camera, who was resting in Dakota Johnson's arms on a couch. The actor appeared on the show to talk about her upcoming film, 'Materialists,' alongside co-star Chris Evans. Looking at Biggie Smalls's reaction, Bloom joked that the pup was 'looking for attention.' Even Guthrie chimed in and said that the pooch 'has found a new owner.' The 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star continued saying that his brown pup 'would never bark' and 'keeps quiet as a mouse.' But maybe the pooch is 'having separation anxiety' looking at his 'Dad' on the other side. And looking at Johnson's gesture, Bloom quipped that she is 'stealing the dog.' However, when the actor bought Biggie Smalls over to Bloom, Johnson said, 'I'm just the babysitter. I'm just the nanny.' Bloom eventually revealed that Biggie Smalls is his 'emotional support animal.' The interview then continued with the actor with the pup 'really enjoying his moment' in front of the camera. And when Craig Melvin asked Johnson about what happened with Biggie Smalls behind the camera during their segment, she replied, 'It's just what I do. I'm here for the people.' The post Dakota Johnson Is 'Babysitter' To Orlando Bloom's Dog appeared first on DogTime.

'The Summer I Turned Pretty' final season trailer reveals Jeremiah and Belly's engagement, Conrad's heartbreak
The battle for Belly's (Lola Tung) heart is alive and well in the final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty — and it's all leading to a wedding. The first trailer for the third and final season of Prime Video's adaptation of Jenny Han's beloved book trilogy is finally here, and it teases plenty of drama ahead for Belly and the Fisher brothers after both a long hiatus and a major time jump. But the biggest bombshell in the footage? Belly gets engaged to her current boyfriend Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), even though her first love Conrad (Christopher Briney) is still very much in her heart. "First loves are important," Belly says in the trailer, which features a mashup of Taylor Swift's "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Daylight." "But they're not as important as lasts." The trailer begins with sweet shots of Belly and Jeremiah acting super couple-y now that they're at college together. And Conrad tells a woman all about his first and only love, Belly, while he's away in California. But while Belly tries to tell herself that Conrad is "the past" and Jeremiah is her "future" and "the one," the love triangle reignites as all three return to Cousins for a life-changing summer leading up to the wedding. Watch the full trailer below. According to the official synopsis, the final season picks up at "the end of her junior year in college," which is a departure from Han's final book in the series, We'll Always Have Summer, which is set two summers earlier. The author-showrunner previously told Entertainment Weekly that fans of her books should prepare for changes from the source material. "There are surprises," Han said. "And there are things that aren't exactly like the books." When the final season begins, Belly is happily still together with Jeremiah after choosing him over Conrad in the season 2 finale. While her future seems set, "some core-shaking events" bring Conrad back into her life, reigniting the feelings she long thought were buried. Belly will be forced to make a decision, once and for all, of which Fisher brother she wants to be with. "I feel like I'm doing my job if people are really fighting for their sides," Han previously told EW of the Team Conrad vs. Team Jeremiah shipper debate. But it all leads to what Han hopes is a "satisfying" conclusion in the series finale, no matter what "team" you root for."A successful love triangle is one where, no matter what happens, people are going to be devastated and heartbroken," Han warned. "Because if the answer feels really clear and easy, then there's no real conflict. No matter what you do, someone's going to be hurt by it." The final season of The Summer I Turned Pretty premieres Wednesday, July 16, with episodes rolling out weekly on Prime Video. Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly
