From our friends at McKellen.com:
I haven’t spoken to Sir Ian for about a week; I hope to hear from him soon.
We last spoke about Dumbledore a few weeks ago and he told me he was not considering it and approved my publishing the denial on our rumours page. As you know, just about anything is possible in Hollywood, but I will be very surprised if he takes the part — though I’m sure he’d be interested to work with Alfonso Cuaron or on HARRY POTTER in some other non-bearded non-hatted role.
Of course anything in The Sun must be assumed to be only loosely based on fact and that story rings particularly untrue to me . . . and they are the ONLY source for this so they would have to be very well connected — not every WB employee thinks of running to The Sun with the latest rumours.
Keep an eye on our rumours page for clarification (probably a stronger denial) in the next couple of days. I’ll keep you posted.
As always, you can keep up to date with Ian McKellen rumors right here! [More]

Lady Kenobi writes: Read the funniest thing in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly. From their columnist Joel Stein: “I called Wizards of the Coast, the company that makes Dungeons & Dragons, and asked them to send an expert to run a game for me. Then I asked all my friends if they’d like to play. When that didn’t go so well, I called the man who made it acceptable to take the threat of orcs seriously, Elijah Wood. Actors, as it turns out, have quite bit of free time.” Read on for goblin housekeepers, anger management issues and of course videogames and collectible toys.

Never underestimate a hobbit. Elijah Wood, along with a few swashbuckling buddies, has taken over the box office: ”Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers” grossed more than $100 million in its first five days of release and snagged Golden Globes nominations for Best Picture and Best Director (Peter Jackson). Not bad for a 21-year-old former child star. EW.com talked to Wood about elfin superstardom, his hunk costar Viggo Mortensen, and why his ”LOTR” journey warranted a painful, and permanent, souvenir.
