BOWLMOOT – A Celebration of the Music of The Lord of the Rings
On Saturday, August 10th, fans from across the country (and some from around the world) will descend upon the Hollywood Bowl for the second night of the LA Philharmonic’s series, Musical Mythologies featuring music from the Academy Award-winning score of The Lord of the Rings.
These festivities will include a large potluck picnic from 4-7 pm that same day for friends and fans of Middle-earth at the Highland-Camrose Park one block south of the Hollywood Bowl. Come to meet your fellow fans and enjoy the celebration of the musical rendering of the greatest novel of the Twentieth Century (and arguably the greatest movie of the Twenty-first).
There are still tickets available at the discounted group rate of $20. However, they are very few, so they
will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis. However, the picnic is not just limited to those in the group. If you have tickets already and would like to attend the picnic, or would like to purchase one of the few remaining group tickets, please email Josh Rubinstein at orthanc_ent@yahoo.com.
If you would like to bring food to the picnic, please email Hannah Mclaughlin at hannah.mclaughlin@cox.net.
We’re also looking for a few LA local volunteers to help set up and break down the picnic area, as well as some other tasks. If you’re interested in helping out, please include that in your email.
Josh and other yet-to-be-appointed agents will also be handing out passes to the picnic at the upcoming events. Keep your eye out for them! [More]

Star Bodies – healthy secrets of the stars – ORLANDO BLOOM
The beautifully named Orlando Bloom is best known as Legolas Greenleaf in The Lord of The Rings trilogy. He is barely out of acting school, but has been included in the Young Hollywood Awards for “Exciting New Male Face”, and was voted 19th in a magazine’s list of the Top 50 Sexiest British Actors. We’ll see him next this summer in Lullaby of Clubland, but keep your eyes peeled. He is only on screen for eight minutes. Next big gig – Ned Kelly alongside Heath Ledger.
Orlando is 180cm, brown-haired and brown-eyed. Like Sean Bean, his co-star in The Lord of the Rings, he has a tattoo of ‘nine’ in Elvish on his right forearm. He also has a tattoo of a sun on his torso.
Exercise
“I enjoy keeping fit and it comes easily to me because I’m into sports in a big way, especially surfing, snowboarding, sky diving, bungee jumping and paragliding,” he says. This is probably the reason why, over the years, he has broken his back, his ribs, his nose, both his legs, his arm, his wrist, a finger and a toe and cracked his skull three times!
“You could say that I’m accident prone,” he smiles. For The Lord of the Rings he learned how to ride a horse bareback while shooting an arrow. He also learned to fight and wield two swords.
“Letting go of the reins and shooting my bow and arrow was tricky stuff,” he says. “You have to have real faith in your horse. I did fall off him once and broke a rib!”
Diet
“I am a vegetarian and stay clear of dairy products,” he says. Orlando’s favourite foods are pasta, pizza, oatmeal, rice and vegetables and baked potatoes.
He also eats his nails. “Sadly, yes I do – ever since I gave up smoking. Now I’m trying to give up nails,” he says.
Love Life
He dated actress Joanne Morley, his Lullaby of Clubland co-star, was briefly engaged to model Jemma Kidd and is now said to be seeing actress Christina Ricci.
