Orlando Bloom was in a car accident, but he was not banging Jessica Simpson at the time. OK! magazine says Jessica and Orlando are dating, and they secretly arrived together Wednesday night at the Hennessy Artistry party at Paramount Studios.OK! says:

“They slipped in a little after 8 p.m. and remained backstage for roughly 20 minutes before leaving together,” an eyewitness tells OK!. The pair popped into the event to catch up with Jess’ little sis, Ashlee, who was there in support of her guy pal Pete Wentz, whose rock group Fall Out Boy was performing. “Jessica and Orlando are trying to keep their relationship on the down low,” the source says. “It’s all new to them and they’re still just feeling their ways but they are definitely an item.”

The story about Orlando banging Jessica may be true, but she’s just one of many. About 15 minutes prior to the car accident Orlanda was involved in last night, Orlando reportedly "grabbed" Veronica Taylor "inappropriately" while at a club. Her ex boyfriend, and now friend, fashion photographer Damon Kidwell was very upset. Orlando nearly got into a fight with Damon when Orlando into Damon’s car. The only reason there wasn’t a fight may have been because of the cameras all around. Click here if the video above isn’t working.

In the video above you can see one of the two females Orlando was with was the driver. You can hear the grind as she tries to start the car several times, and the paparazzi shout, "It’s already running." The paparazzi then added, "This is not gonna be good." Because the woman driver was OBVIOUSLY too drunk to drive.

In this video some guy says the paparazzi are scum bags for chasing the crashed car, and causing the crash. It wasn’t the paparazzi, it was Orlando’s poor driving.

Orlando is taking heat today for trying to leave the scene of the accident before cops came even though his two female friends in the car were injured. TMZ reports:

In video taken immediately following this morning’s accident, Bloom can be seen walking away from the scene, leaving two women — one injured and bleeding — in his smashed-up ride. Nice guy! After walking down the block, the paparazzi repeatedly advise Bloom to go back to the accident scene and "deal with it," saying that if he leaves, it could be a hit and run.

The back seat passenger celebrity stylist Cher Coulter fractured neck vertebrae in the accident, and despite this she was walking around outside the car holding her head before finally laying down. When someone hurts their neck you lay them straight to align the spine until paramedics determine if a C-Collar, and a hard backboard is needed to stabilize the neck and back before transporting the person to the hospital. The video is here.

In the first video the drunk girl is seen driving, but not far down the road Orlando took over as the driver, then crashed into a parked car. Although he wasn’t given a Breathalyzer, and did not appear to be drunk to police, Orlando was acting strangely that evening. Perhaps he was thinking of Jessica Simpson.

Orlando Bloom’s rep issued the following statement:

"Orlando Bloom, who was in a minor car collision late last night, is grateful that no one was seriously injured. Bloom called for help immediately following the incident. He spent last night at the hospital to be with his childhood friend who sustained a minor neck injury. He is thankful that emergency services arrived so quickly and that the ER staff at Cedars Sinai took such good care of his friend."

Good luck getting an acting job as a hero Orlando.
