'The house is a proper bachelor pad and perfect for parties and entertaining.
'Orlando is surrounded by other famous people, too. Kourtney Kardashian and her husband Travis Barker live just down the road, as well as Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. Kevin Costner lives on the same street, too.
'It's right on the beach and Orlando has been seen there loads in the past few weeks. He seems to be settling right in and has already made friends with his direct neighbours.'

PARENTING DEBATE Orlando Bloom blasted as an 'idiot' for 'inappropriate' snap of Daisy, 4
Orlando and Katy announced their split last month after nine years together, with insiders revealing the Roar singer told friends it was over in January.

But unlike most celebrity break-ups, which nearly always end up being very messy and very public, Katy and Orlando have been working hard to buck that trend.
Since their split, they've even been seen on holiday together, with those close to them telling me they were keen to keep a strong family unit for their daughter Daisy Dove.
And it's not just behind the scenes that the pair are making sure their new way of life is all sweetness and light.
Orlando appeared to be the first person to have a chuckle when an AI photograph of him having dinner with former German politician Angela Merkel went viral earlier this month.

Someone created the snap to poke fun at the pictures of Katy and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau having a cosy dinner in Montreal last month.
Heartbroken Katy Perry told pals in January that Orlando Bloom relationship was OVER - as star removes engagement ring
Two days after the pictures of Katy and Justin went online — he was spotted at her concert in Montreal with his daughter.
And it was later claimed the pair had been 'texting non-stop' back in July but those close to Katy have said this had cooled off now.
An insider added: 'They're both busy people — who knows what could happen in the future?'

The post about Orlando and Angela was reshared endlessly, with a caption that read: 'Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancee Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
'Angela kept Orlando laughing all night — he couldn't keep his eyes off her.'
Orlando posted three clapping hand emojis underneath the post, with a pal adding: 'He found it hilarious.'
If these two can keep this up, they'll end up as the next Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow.
JUSTIN DUPE DYLAN EXPOSED BY UNBELIEBABLE DANCING
A JUSTIN BIEBER lookalike duped a Las Vegas nightspot into believing he was the real deal.
The imposter, Frenchman Dylan Desclos, got up on stage at the XS Nightclub in Sin City and performed for revellers who also fell for the prankster.
Dylan has now been banned from any hotel or club owned by Wynn Resorts.
A company spokesman said: 'As soon as the error was recognised, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.'
After checking out Dylan's social media, it's easy to see why people thought he was the famous US singer – he looks pretty much identical.
Justin's model wife Hailey has even previously said how similar they look.
The only thing I clocked when I checked out the videos of that night though is that Justin can dance . . . and Dylan definitely can't.
Have a look at the clips doing the rounds on social media if you fancy a laugh.
KISSCAM IS STILL IN PLAY
THAT brilliant Coldplay kiss-cam is the gift that keeps on giving – and Chris Martin was the first to poke fun at the scandal when the group played the first of their two sold out shows in Hull.

At the sold out Craven Park stadium, Chris started to read signs – including one which read: 'Three times in three months.'

Chris said: 'You were at that Boston gig? Thank you for coming again after that debacle.'

'Life throws you lemons and you've got to make lemonade. So, we are going to keep doing it.'
The band are in the third year of their Music Of Spheres world tour.
To date they have sold 12 million tickets – making it the highest attended rock concert in music history.
Coldplay will wrap up their epic run with a ten-night residency at London's Wembley Stadium.

I first revealed Chris and co were booking in for the shows last June, with the band confirming my story just weeks later.
If you've got a ticket you are in for a massive treat.
I first watched this show back in 2023 and it absolutely blew me away.
DOECHII has pulled out of three European festivals this week – All Points East in London and Forwards in Bristol, where she was due to sing this weekend, and tomorrow's Rock En Seine in France.
It appears her PR team have tried to smooth things over, as all three festivals released near-identical statements – describing the US rapper as an 'incredible artist'.

But on social media, punters who had tickets aren't feeling quite as kind as they berate her last-minute cancellation.
DAD WARY OF PERRIE OX DATE
PERRIE EDWARDS' family were furious when she started dating ex-England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, because they were convinced all footballers were love rats.
The LITTLE MIX star, who had split from Zayn Malik 18 months before they got together in 2017, recalled: 'My dad rang me and he went, 'You've just dated a boyband member who's completely shattered your soul and now you're going for a footballer.'
'And I was like, 'He's not like the other footballers, dad. He's really nice'.
'And he was like, 'Oh, yeah, great. I bet he is'.'
On the We Need To Talk podcast she added: 'We just had this impression of footballers as cheaters. But then I met him and I was like, but he's so sweet and so genuine.'

Dua is 30 on Friday but after her wild two weeks in Ibiza, she may just need a lie down.

Rose of Tralee: The best moments from night two
Night two in The Dome was an evening of laughter, tears, jiving, tattoos and birthday surprises. Here are our highlights of the night... Little Ella gets a very nice birthday surprise One little lady had a birthday she won't forget live in The Dome on Tuesday night. Ella, the daughter of Limerick Rose Leah McMahon and her fiancé Al, turned eight today and she was presented with a birthday cake by Dáithí as the whole place sang Happy Birthday. Proud mum Leah, who is a 29-yer-old financial advisor, told Kathryn that Ella had made her a special bracelet for her week with the Roses - and her dress was also a bit of a showstopper. It was a green, fitted "ode to Limerick," featuring patterns of pictures of local landmarks St John's Castle and Thomond Park. Leah also gave a passionate speech about the importance of financial planning for women and tackled criticism of the whole Rose of Tralee concept. Kathryn even mentioned the now rather jaded "Lovely Girls" dig, and Leah said, "I know from my work that men and women are not on a level playing field so we need events like the Rose of Tralee to build us up." That got quite a cheer in The Dome. Ottawa Rose delivers emotional tribute in song to her late father Ottawa Rose Aidan Russell (27), who works in Indigenous Services and once served at the Canadian Embassy in Dublin, had a moving story on Tuesday evening that pretty much summed up the whole spirit of the Rose of Tralee. Sadly, she lost her beloved father last year and it was he who gave her a love of Ireland. She said that representing Ottawa is her way to celebrate his Irish roots. Aidan had to take a break from her Rose duties earlier this week when she was overcome by the "outpouring of love and support" from her fellow Roses in what has been a very emotional time for her. To honour her dad, she sang a very moving version of Hilary Duffs Someone's Watching Over Me. Happy days for Sydney Rose's dad Sydney Rose Laura Foley, a 26-year-old occupational therapist and public health researcher, was making her very first trip to Ireland but her dad, Michael, was nearly in danger of stealing the limelight from under her nose. Michael, who hails from Kilkenny and emigrated to Australia in the nineties, has been known as Fonzie since he was 12 years old so Kathryn decided to get in on the act by presenting him with a leather jacket. However, he was already sat in the audience wearing one - along with a bowtie. He did don a pair of shades for the occasion. Heeeeyyy! Texas Rose shares inspiring cancer story For our money, 21-year-old Texas Rose Sarah Costa wore the gúna of the night - a dark purple number embroidered with silver (not yellow) roses. She told Kathryn that she tried poitín for the first time during the week and said that it cured the sniffles she had when she first arrived in Ireland. Her proud father was in the audience in The Dome wearing a very impressive black Stetson and Austin native Sarah told the story of how her great, great grandfather arrived in New York from Sligo and ended up living a tough life as a miner. Sarah herself has also had a tough time - when she was only 18 she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer and her story was an inspiration to anyone who may be facing similar challenges. She also showed off the scar from her operation and it brought a very human touch to the night. Toronto Rose tries Irish dancing for the first time in eight years 26-year-old political science graduate Rachel Hoare had quite a story to tell on Tuesday night in The Dome. She is currently working as a banker but wants to be a teacher - despite the fact that she has dyscalculia, a learning disability that affects one's ability to understand and work with numbers. She also suffered a stroke when she was just five years old but none of that has held her back. A lesson for all of us there. She admitted that she was "out of her comfort zone" being on the Roses stage, adding, "But I have to push myself." After a very quick dress change, she then performed a very impressive hard shoe dance at her sister's special request - and it was the first time she'd tried Irish dancing in eight years. The show must go on for South Australian Rose Beth Somebody very special was looking down on South Oz Rose Beth Mooney on Tuesday night. The Dublin native arrived on The Dome stage in a very eye-catching baby pink dress and was a model of composure after what had been a very tough few days. Only yesterday, Beth, who is a dancer, had buried her grandmother Lucy but as Beth told Kathryn, "There is no way my grandmother would have let me miss this. I am representing her." Beth also touched on one of the biggest Irish news stories of recent weeks when she revealed that she had suffered from scoliosis and had a spinal fusion procedure when she was younger. And she more than proved that there is life after scoliosis by dancing to a version of Nothing Compares 2 U.

Rose of Tralee Night Two: 'We need festivals to celebrate women. We need these spaces'
Just when the Rose of Tralee appeared to have finally shed its image of a Father Ted parody centred around a fictional Lovely Girls competition, RTÉ's Kathryn Thomas revived it all over again. The co-presenter of this year's second of two selection nights asked the Limerick Rose what she thought about critics of the contest who label it a 'beauty pageant' or a 'lovely girls competition'. In those few short seconds, she reopened a debate many have long since believed is over. Commentators have long since grown tired of referencing any notion that contestants - who this year include a diplomate, a barrister, and a financial consultant - have anything in common with the 'happy maidens'. They were nostalgically referenced in Éamon de Valera's now infamous, and often misquoted, 1943 radio address about his vision for an ideal Ireland. Limerick's Leah McMahon, a financial planner and mother-of-one, seemed surprised by the question. She replied: 'We need festivals to celebrate women. We need these spaces. 'We are not asking to be more. We are just asking to be on the same level.' Of the critics, she added: 'I think critics don't get it.' Earlier in her appearance, Kathryn's co-presenter Dáithí Ó Sé brought out a surprise birthday cake for her daughter, Ella, who was eight last night. The entire audience sang Happy Birthday to her. A diplomat and a consultant with one of the biggest accountancy firms in the world were also among contestants in last night's Rose of Tralee. Highfliers Ottawa Rose Aidan Russell and Queensland Rose Siobhan Edwards joined 12 other roses for the second of two selection nights. But while Cork Rose Nancy Lehane had led most of the festival as the favourite to win, a new favourite to emerge was the rose who opened last night's selection night, Celeine O'Meara. Those odds changed before the United Arab Emirates' first rose contestant, who is a 28-year-old primary school teacher and musician from Limerick, had even appeared on stage at the Kerry Sports Academy at the Munster Technological University (MTU). According to Ladbrokes, Celeine - who was welcomed on stage by co-presenter Dáithí Ó Sé - was the favourite to win, with odds of 5/2, as Nancy dropped to third favourite at 6/1 to win. She and the other roses were all following on from the first selection night on Monday, which saw a number of mothers, a judicial assistant from the Four Courts, and a clinical research associate among 18 of the 32 contestants appear. The two nights were the culmination of more than five days of the roses being judged in a variety of settings by this year's panel of judges former Rose of Tralee Clare Kambamettu, RTÉ's Nuala Carey, fashion designer Don O'Neill, and Aisling Murphy of sponsor Murphy's New Homes. Model Celeine, who is on a career break from Scoil an Spioraid Naoimh, Limerick, spoke of her teaching work in Sharjah, UAE, performing at various events across the UAE. Next up, Sarah Anne Fritz, the German Rose, told show co-presenter Kathryn Thomas about how her German father wooed her Irish mother with the help of a dictionary as he couldn't speak English and she couldn't speak German. She also said that she only entered the rose competition after she had a dream about the festival, and woke up deciding she would give it a go. Ottawa's Aidan Russell, who works as a diplomat, told Daithi of how the highest and the lowest point of her life since her father died have been at the Rose of Tralee festival. Her father had died just before Christmas, and she is currently involved in a number of legal issues around the settling of his estate.' 'My highest point was also the lowest point,' the 27-year-old, who hopes one day to be a hostage negotiator, told Daithi. 'We had a really tough night, and I had to step away to deal with some of the legal stuff.' But she said that what helped her get through it was the 'outpouring of love' from her fellow roses. Also appearing last night was Toronto Rose Rachel Hoare, who delighted in telling Kathryn how she had been treated so well by air crew when she was flying over to Ireland for the contest. She told of how she had been given 'extra pillows, free drinks, free wifi'. The audience heard how she is a stroke survivor, who has learning difficulties, including having Dyscalculia - a learning disability that affects a person's ability to understand and work with numbers and mathematics. Despite this, the audience heard, Rachel has a successful job in the banking industry. Kathryn told her: 'You are amazing. You are incredible.' The presenter revealed singer Daniel O'Donnell would be performing later, as Rachel dressed to do some Irish dancing. Aside from all the singing and dancing and associated parades and festivities associated with the festival, which is open to females or those who identify as female aged between 18 and 29 who are Irish-born or of Irish origin, remains a huge money spinner for Kerry. Each rose is said to be worth an estimated €200,000 to the economy of the town and surrounding areas - based on the fact that they will attract at least 200 close family members — including parents, brothers, sisters, and partners — along with relatives, friends to Tralee. Friends and relatives across Ireland and even around the world will also make the trek, along with a cohort of festival fans from the county or country each rose represents. It is estimated that these will all spend at least €1,000-a-head during the festival, and with this year's number of roses being 32, that works out at €6.4m. The year-round publicity from festival-related events, including the selection of each rose in Ireland and around the world, continuously promotes the town as a tourist and go-to destination. After all the local, regional and national media appearances are accounted for, the sheer volume of publicity for Tralee, Kerry and Ireland from the festival alone is valued at up to €15m. A big part of this will be the coverage afforded to the festival by RTÉ, with more than a million of viewers expected to have tuned in over Monday and Tuesday night, with the last night usually getting more than 500,000 viewers on RTÉ One and the RTÉ Player.
