VIGGO MORTENSEN FAVORS EAU DE FRESH COMPOST.
"He's one of those New Age kind of guys," says fellow LORD OF THE RINGS star Dominic Monaghan. "He doesn't believe in wearing deodorant per se. He uses natural stuff, different types of clays and leaves and berries. We always knew he was in the bar or close by when we couldn't see him because he had this smell. He smelled like a slightly decaying, old, eclectic gardener."

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?

One ring to obsess them all

Dom - "We had some fun early days, Elijah and I, checking out a lot of the artistic renderings of Viggo and Orlando making out with each other, or me and Billy making out with each other, or Elijah and Sean. I don't take it too seriously," Monaghan says, referring to the boatloads of erotic art inspired by the movies.

Don't Talk To Orlando Bloom While He's On The Loo
You could cause a blockage...

Hollywood actor Orlando Bloom has a worrying problem; he is unable to urinate if anyone is speaking to him.

His ‘Lord of the Rings’ co-star and ‘Lost’ actor Dominic Monaghan said of the lovely Bloom: “Orlando can’t pee if you’re talking to him.

“He stops and just can’t get going again. He has too really concentrate to have a wee wee. Isn’t that cute?”

Hmm, not really…but its not putting me off either.

Dom says...

Ted : "All right, let's get it out in the open," I said. "Why is everyone convinced there's something going on with you guys?"

DM :"I think it's because we're all young, good-looking guys," he said without a hint of Tom Hanks' modesty. "We're kind of cheeky, and we're very physically tactile with one other," he gushed proudly.

"Tell me more!" I pressed.

"I love those guys," 'fessed Dommy-boy. "I don't [have] any qualms about it. They're my brothers, and I don't have any problem showing affection for men. I'm aware of my own sexuality enough to be free with people."

"Does you find it amusing that folks think you're queer?"

"Yes! What's wrong with being gay?" D.M. asked with a chuckle. "It's cool. If it keeps people talking, then it's all fine."
