Earlier this week we reported that Elijah Wood (Frodo) would be a guest on the Conan O’Brien show tonight (Jan 17th). Either he had to drop his commitment or we were in error, either case Elijah will NOT be appearing on Conan tonight. Everyone can get some sleep!
Lady Druadan sends in this news about Bjork being asked to sing ‘Gollum’s Song’ but having to turn it down due to her pregnancy, take a look! [More]
Lady Druadan writes: Bjork posted this on January 16th concerning the Gollum song played at the end of The Two Towers.
From the message board (4UM) at www.bjork.com:
“i was asked to write the song a month before thew birth of my daughter , when i turned it down because i was too pregnant they said fair enough and got another writer then approached me again said they had a song and lyric in my style , they understood i didn´t have time to write it but if i could sing it , i thought it was a little noughty but asked them to send me the notes and the lyrics since i was curious what is “my style” then had to tell them it was 3 days until my baby was due and i couldn´t focus on anything else they then said they were going to ask “björk-kinda singers” and told me they got 3 singers, they didn´t tell me the names but say A,B and C .
then after the birth they said they weren´t happy with the results and asked me please if i could save them , they could put the deadline back to october 30th (my baby was born on the 3rd) i told them my baby was priority and i was told they went back and chose one of the A or B or C . i then later found out it was emiliana. björk.”
It could go down as this column’s stupidest prediction, but we feel it in our bones: The Two Towers is about to steal Crocodile Dundee’s title as the second biggest money-making movie ever shown in Australia. [More]
