There are millions of Justin Bieber fans across the world, but for everyone else this week Orlando Bloom became an unlikely hero. The actor was caught on camera attempting to punch the teen idol at Cipriani's restaurant in Ibiza this week and while exactly why, it's apparently over Bieber's relationship with Bloom's ex-Miranda Kerr, hasn't been established, Legolas has become everyone's favourite celeb.
Ibiza has turned into a celeb magnet this week, with Leonardo DiCaprio, Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan all at the nightspot during the fight. Leo even clapped his mate as he tried to unleash his fists on Bieber's face.
Bieber apparently tried to "start on" Leo first, are we seriously believing this scene, but he "flicked" him away, then leaped over a sofa and started on Orlando.

Spanish model Anastasia Skolkova, who claims to have witnessed the whole thing, told her version of events to The Mirror: "Bieber said something to DiCaprio - I don't know exactly what, because it was seven or eight metres away. Leo brushed his hands at him, like, I don't care what you say. Yeah, he flicked him away."
"Bieber got angry. Orlando got very, very angry," Ana continued.
"When Bieber walked maybe 10 metres away, Orlando maybe had half a minute to think about what he was going to do," she said, "He got up and started running. Then he jumped over the sofa." It sounds like a scene from one of Bloom's bad movies.
And he's not the only one, most celebs have been jumping on the Team Bloom bandwagon.
On Jimmy Fallon this week, the host said: "Orlando Bloom apparently threw a punch at Justin Bieber last night during an argument at a nightclub,"
"Orlando's hand was pretty sore today...You know, from all the high fives he got!"

Later in the show Fallon asked his guest James Franco, if he was taking sides in the rivalry and the actor was pretty clear, he's "team Bloom". Franco co-starred with Justin's on/off girlfriend Selena Gomez in Spring Breakers, so we're guessing he's got his friends back on this one.
Stephen Colbert also had something to say, reporting on the "incident" he said this week "yet another international dispute that erupted in senseless violence," had happened.

"Now as a journalist it's my job to report on atrocities like this, but to be clear I do not condone this type of violence because," he continued, "'Bloom…missed' Bieber's face."
It wasn't just the late night hosts, who laid into the Boyfriend singer, the internet seemed to be on the side of Bloom too.

The Champ himself continued to party after the scuffle and was in Formentera on Thursday, where he gleefully displayed those Bieber bashing fists to the paparazzi.

While the reason behind the fight has been allegeldy over Miranda Kerr's close friendship with Justin, who she apparently appeared very pally with, at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show afterparty in 2012, Bloom didn't seem that bothered.

The actor has been hanging out with the gorgeous Erica Packer, who is the ex-wife of Australian businessman James Packer, who has been recently linked to, you guessed it, Miranda Kerr.
This is like a love hexagon.
