Orlando Bloom has landed himself in hot water after using the word 'pikey' on live radio... it's The Dredge

All the best of the day’s celebrity filth.

EVERY WEEKDAY MORNING, DailyEdge.ie rounds up the best of the day’s celebrity dirt from the top to the very bottom.

Yesterday we told you how Samantha Mumba’s noughties classic Gotta Tell You was included in Billboard Magazine’s roundup of the best choruses of the 21st century. 

Last night, TV3′s Six O’Clock Show sent a tweet saying that Mumba would perform the song on the show if they managed to get over 1,000 retweets. (The former pop star is currently standing in for Lucy Kennedy on the evening show.)

If you can’t see the video, click here.

As of publishing, it has garnered 1,232 retweets, meaning they have more than reached their goal.

Will Mumba be coaxed into singing it on telly tomorrow? We live in hope.

*says a decade of the rosary*

BBC Radio 1′s Nick Grimshaw has been forced to apologise after actor Orlando Bloom used the word ‘pikey’ live on air.

During the conversation, Bloom reportedly said, “I’m still a pikey from Kent, boy, I’m still a pikey from Kent. You don’t want to get on the wrong side of me, boy,” drawing ire from listeners who felt the term was offensive.

In the UK, the word is considered to be a derogatory term, usually directed at Gypsies or members of the Traveller community.

Grimshaw later apologised for Bloom’s remarks.

Great to have him on the show, but apologies if you were offended by anything that Orlando may have said earlier on.

Oh, Orlando. (3AM)

Caitlyn Jenner has revealed that she hasn’t spoken to stepdaughter Khloe Kardashian since her transition. Jenner, who is currently promoting her memoir, stated that she hasn’t spoken to Khloe in two years.

She hasn’t talked to me in about two years. That’s sad. I was very, very close to Khloe. I had 23 years of raising her. I met Khloe when she was 5 years old.

Jenner stated that the estrangement “hurt” and called out Khloe for remarks she made on Howard Stern’s radio show.

Of course, it hurts. She was on Howard Stern and called me a liar and that kind of p**sed me off too because I never lied to her. If I didn’t tell her everything… first of all, she never asked.

She also revealed that Kim Kardashian is the only child she has spoken to since the book’s release.

I love her. I told her way before anybody because she’s so curious.

Never a dull moment, eh? (US Weekly)
