If anyone was wondering, US Press Secretary Ari Fleischer is not a hobbit. Here’s a funny little snippet sent to us by Ringer J.P.:
I saw the following article today and thought you may be interested in knowing that Tolkien-mania has hit certain individuals in Washington. In answering why he declined a serving of the newly-renamed “Freedom Toast” on Air Force One, White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer stated ”I’m not a hobbit, so I didn’t have a second breakfast. I had my breakfast before I came in.” [More]

Chnev sends in one of these ‘I heard from a guy who is working on this…’ type rumor. If it pans out it could be quite cool, who knows. Take a look at what he has to say about the possible details from EA’s ROTK Game! [More] [Gaming Havens]

[someone I know] works at EA Games, at the moment he is working on [something] for the ROTK game. He said that ‘this time you get too play 6 characters and there is 12 more levels that the TTT game. Plus were thinking of a Treebeard level. You will be able to play as Pippin and Merry (share levels or something), Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, Sam and GANDALF!!’. Mind you, this is only in the design stages, but he said something about Eowyn agaist lord of Agmar as well!!’
“The Lord of the Rings” star Sean Astin is in final negotiations and “Blade’s” Steven Dorff is set to topline the indie feature “The Mule.” Production begins in June on location in London and Amsterdam. Geoffrey Wright (“Romper Stomper”) is directing. The project is based on the true story of two Hollywood stuntmen (Astin and Dorff) who began making supply runs of the drug Ecstasy between Amsterdam and Los Angeles during the actors strike in the ’90s. What started off as a quick, easy way to make money turned in to an elaborate operation in Europe. Astin, repped by Writers & Artists, manager Joel Stevens and attorney David Feldman, will segue into “Mule” after he wraps shooting Columbia Pictures’ “50 First Kisses,” starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore (HR 3/17).
