Irascian writes: Orlando Bloom stars in the first episode of the second series of Ricky Gervaise’s comedy “Extras” (and Ian McKellen will be appearing in a later show in the series).

In fact, the man building The Shire — a new subdivision recalling the mythical home of Tolkien’s most famous characters — hasn’t read the author’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, though he does own the DVDs. It was a friend who came up with the name for the development on Bend’s east side. “He is the one that’s the Tolkien freak,” said Meyers, The Shire’s sire. “Not me.” [More]
