Wish kid Rebecca, a 13-year-old from Illinois, is a huge fan of the popular “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. She is mesmerized by the fascinating storylines featuring Hobbits, elves, dwarves, and other characters from Middle Earth. When wish granters from the Make-A-Wish Foundation® of Illinois asked Rebecca about her one true wish, she chose to meet Billy Boyd. [More] Kudos to kelly for the link!

Ringer Spy lilcritter writes: On VH1 they are doing “The 100 most Metal Moments.” Number 45 was about a band called Gorgoroth which, they said, “got their name from JRR Tolkien’s the Lord of the Rings.” The band got into trouble for having slaughtered sheep on stage, but I don’t know if they actually slaughtered them up there. I never knew Tolkien would reach into heavy metal mayhem.
