Mary was the first (of many sharp-eyed Ringers!) to write in about LOTR references in the movie Stepford Wifes (mouse over the words below to see the possible Stepford Wives spoiler): “I saw Stepford Wives last night and in it there is a very funny reference to LOTR hunks Orlando Bloom & Viggo Mortensen .

So along with his designer clothes, the garbage can contains a photo of Orlando and a t-shirt with Viggo’s face on it.”
