Not Ready To Bloom

(Photo: Splash News Online) Through a spokesperson, 25 year-old Australian model Miranda Kerr denies that she and boyfriend Orlando Bloom will walk down the aisle early in 2009.

The couple has been an item for over a year now.

"False and misleading," said the statement. "Miranda herself has clearly stated she is not engaged. There is nothing else to be said."

Which usually means there is, but it's none of our business.

The rumor began with Australia's Sunday Telegraph reported that the couple toasted their engagement in Venice last week.

It was fueled when she told the New York Post last week, "I've always wanted kids, so some day, eventually, yes, it will happen. My ideal situation would be to live on a farm in a solar-powered house with a hammock and a vegetable patch."
