We get a few emails from people who’d like to know where they could get pipes like the ones in the film. Cas has some good news for them: “I thought I would send you all an interesting link I found yesterday while browsing for pipes (I’m a novice who hasn’t even tried it yet…): ThePiperoom. They carry Churchwarden pipes and a very interesting house blend of tobacco that they chose to name their “Middle Earth Blend.”

TheOneRing.net EXCLUSIVE A rumor has surfaced that Orlando Bloom (Legolas) is considering taking up the bow and arrow yet again to play another hero from literature — young “Hawkeye” in the adaptation of “The Deerslayer.” The classic American novel by James Fenimore Cooper is the prequel to “Last of the Mohicans.” Daniel Day-Lewis played the grown-up Nathaniel “Hawkeye” Bumppo in the 1992 Michael Mann film. What do Legolas fans think? Is Orlando the right guy to fill Hawkeye’s moccasins?
A few days ago we reported that Jeffery Hawkes, the hobbit extra injured in a car/train accident, had suffered a serious accident. We’ve heard from his friend Inger that he is doing well. “Awake, but still on the mend. Has had a lot of surgery last week on his arm. His leg has been amputated below the leg.”
Inger gave us an update today: “He is looking a heck of a lot better than last week. Unfortunately he has also broken his other ankle so getting around will be a mish for him for a while.”
Inger told us that Jeffrey played Pippin’s double as well as a party hobbit, and he was Pippin when he’s escaping the farmer in the corn field.
Inger Vos has agreed to accept e-mail “get well” wishes, and convey them to Mr. Hawkes.
You can send your get-well emails for Jeffery to Inger.Vos@Waikato-Times.co.nz
Thanks to Altaira for the idea.
