Other tongue-biz buzz was 'bout, oh, not much, just partying and homosexuality, the usual Hollywood canapé chitchat.

"There was a lot of screwing going on in New Zealand," pooped an inside (high-up) set vet. "But look, most of it was straight. These guys [Hobbits, elves, horny young men] just aren't afraid to show their incredible affection for one other; that's what gets the gay stuff started."

Glad that's settled! (Yeah, right.)

"Dominic, hands down," I was told by myriad Rings-leaders when I quizzed them about who got into the most trouble off camera. Hmmm. Very interesting, as just seconds before Dom-cutie-tamooti--in shimmer 'n' scruff--told me he felt Viggo was awfully artful at target practice.

"He was always off hunting and fishing, you know," D.M. weighed in with a wink. Elijah concurred, but more about that one latuh. Time to switch-hit back to the hot 'n' bothered blood-red carpet, doncha think?
