Sean Bean cancels extravagant wedding at the last minute
Guests invited to celebrate actor Sean Bean's fourth wedding were left surprised this weekend, when the Sharpe star and his actress girlfriend Georgina Sutcliffe called off the ceremony just 24 hours before they were due to say "I do".
"It has come as a huge shock to everyone," said a guest at the cancelled reception, which was set to take place at a plush Mayfair hotel. "We were told the wedding was off at the last minute, and that it was because of personal reasons."
The couple, who have been dating since meeting two years ago in a London bar, have a famously turbulent relationship. "We don't know what happened for sure," continued the guest. "But we assume there has been an argy-bargy and that they called the whole thing off as a result."
However, the couple themselves seem unphased by the change in arrangements. "We've just rescheduled because of personal issues and work commitments," explained the 29-year-old would-be bride. "Sean and I have just got back from Rome and I'm absolutely shattered. He's here with me at the moment. It was a wonderful holiday. We do intend to get married shortly."
The marriage was set to be the Sheffield-born star's fourth. Aged 19 he tied the knot with childhood sweetheart Debra, a relationship which came to an end when he moved to London to pursue his acting career. He then wed actress Melanie Hill in 1990. The pair split in 1997 with Sean marrying Abigail Cruttenden - who played his wife in Sharpe - the same year. They divorced in 2000.

Kate Bosworth Reveals Why She And Orlando Bloom Split
The screen beauty revealed the final straw came after the heartthrob actor spent a debauched night out with fellow star Sean Bean.
The sexy actress was reportedly virtually ignored earlier that evening at the Golden Globe Awards, where her boyfriend of three years chose to chat instead to 'Pirates of the Caribbean' co-star Johnny Depp.
He then disappeared with actor Sean Bean for a heavy drinking session until the early hours.
A source close to the couple, who met on the set of a Gap advert in 2002, is quoted by Britain's Daily Star as saying: "Kate always knew that Orlando liked to chill with his mates, but it just started to get ridiculous.
With their busy schedules they hardly got to see each other as it was, so when he disappeared with the boys it was awful.
"She told him that she couldn't see the relationship working unless they made more time for one another. But it just didn't happen."
Despite Orlando taking Kate on a make-or-break holiday to Brazil last month in a bid to repair their relationship, she decided she had had enough.
The friend added: "Orlando is a social bloke and he misses the camaraderie of the laddish drinking culture in the UK. When Sean was around he jumped at the chance to sink a few jars."

Hobbit Party At SAG Awards
[..] First came Orlando, and I spotted him first. I pointed, and immediately we all screamed his name. Sure enough he waved, and after a second he ran over to us. We took pictures, got autographs, it was great. And damn did he looks and smells fantastic!
[..] First came Orlando, and I spotted him first. I pointed, and immediately we all screamed his name. Sure enough he waved, and after a second he ran over to us. We took pictures, got autographs, it was great. And damn did he looks and smells fantastic!
The we started talking to some other LOTR fans that were there, and got along great with them. It was getting late, and we kept joking that the guys were going to be closing out the party. Then we noticed Billy walking around outside the tent. We waved once, and he was definetly looking towards us, but we don't think he realized we were really waving at him!
After awhile he came out, and was just as charming as could be. We again got pictures and autographs. He was the sweetest thing and you just wanted to give him a big hug!
So Billy left, and by this time we were certain that Dom and Elijah were still in there partying. We joked about how drunk they must be by then (it had been about 4 hours since the show ended) and how they were probably the only ones in there still dancing. Then we saw Dom. We yelled and he ran over, momentarily teasing us by running away, but finally came over to take pics and sign. He was very animated and friendly, and honestly it was quite clear that he had been drinking a lot. Someone asked if Elijah was still in the party, and he said he must be because they were supposed to be sharing a limo, and then he realized that he had forgotten to tell Elijah he was leaving. Dom finished signing and promised to go get Lij and bring him out to us. Sure enough, he kept his word. He met Elijah at the gate, and they came over to us, holding hands. Elijah was a doll. He immediately gave us all hugs (keep in mind, he was clearly drunk as well), and couldn't believe that we had been waiting all night. In fact his exact words were "That sucks." Of course at this point I would clearly beg to differ. Lij signed things for us, and took a bunch of pictures with us...

At awards shows, do the big stars have to be officially invited, or can they just turn up?
[...]
In fact, even if celebrities think they're invited to a top awards show, this
In 2002, the three cutest members of the Fellowship of the Ring were flown to Los Angeles for Oscar night: Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom and the inexplicably sexy Billy Boyd. Thing is, they hadn't really been invited, and they were told as much when they disembarked from their giant eagles.
The threesome was put on standby, just in case three confirmed guests were to contract Ringwraith-wasting sickness at the last minute. But the actors blew off the whole dog and pony show instead.
"I'm going to go out to get drunk anyway," Bloom told the Sun.
The three actors got luckier in 2004, but not a whole lot luckier. This time they got into the Kodak Theatre, but then Boyd had to get up and go to the bathroom, and it was Helms Deep all over again.
Per the London Mirror, a couple of "burly minders" kept him from returning to his seat until the next commercial break. This just happened to be during the stretch when The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King won another four Oscars, the last of its 11. "Billy said: 'The Oscars is over five hours long, so at one point I had to pop out and do a pee. I was left outside while we won another four Oscars.' "
Even lesser awards shows have their deadly gauntlets. Take the Screen Actors Guild thing. Union members must download a form seeking an invitation to pay $600 for a ticket. You read that correctly. And get this: SAG members willing to grovel for that ticket must pay before they even know if they've got a seat.
"Due to the limited seating in our venue, we will place all returned RSVPs into a drawing that will be held in January," the SAG Website intones. "Members drawn will be notified. Members not drawn will receive a refund."
Really. Honestly. We're not worthy.

[...]"Such as?"
"Playing videogames, watching DVDs--and then we call girls up," Monaghan continued with a boyish wink. "And they say they can't come 'round, so we call more girls up and play more videogames."
"Okay, Mr. Dial-a-Dame," I said, "complete the following: Hobbits who play together...
"That's naughty," D.M. said, as if coralling babes by cell is good clean fun. But with a big fat smile, the D-man relented and answered, "Live together!"
"Oh, have you been playing house with the other Hobbits?"
"We've all been living together at Billy's house in Mexico. Me, Elijah and Sean all went down there," he explained with a chuckle. " All the Hobbits under one roof for about three weeks. It was like life imitating art."
I'm guessing this is where head Hobbit Elijah Wood's comment comes into play, eh?
"We are merry!" E.W. heartily agreed as he held up his digital camera and snapped a few pics of his buds on the red carpet. "It [Mexico] was amazing; we had the best time!"
With a secretive grin (dreaming of lazy lovemaking, perhaps), D.M. rejoined his gang of boys, which included the delectable Orlando Bloom.
Tearing himself away from the cozy clan, the noble Elf was looking luscious in all black, with a wispy-thin mustache and a tuft of chin scruff.
"Tongue in my ear!" Orlando purred as the "new guy," Karl Urban, surprised him with a friendly nuzzle as a greeting. In the mood and chatting about his merriest moments with the Hobbits, O.B. happily brought up their time in New Zealand:
"Oh, surfing was the best," Mr. B. exclaimed. "We'd have a few days off from shooting, and we'd all go out and surf all day long."
The ocean, that is. The phone lines weren't ridden till later in the evening.
Poopin' P.S.: While the Hobbit boys were gabbing about kicking up their feet, the Elf princess, Liv Tyler, was mainly moaning about how she was ready to go home already and have some dinner (a pastime she was fond of on the New Zealand set, remember). Not exactly the partying type since she has settled down with her Spacehog fiancé, Royston Langdon.
Whoopin' P.S.: And where was Viggo Mortensen in all of this boyish busyness? V.M. ditched the usual pencil-pushing press and dashed 'cross the street, where the frenzied fans stood in awe of the starry scene. Followed by a harried handful of flackers ("Where is he going?" was the most common schoolmarmish screech heard), the man who plays Aragorn raced over to shake hands and sign autographs. And trust me, that's not something you see every day. Ain't it great?

Fellowship of the Ring ends its quest in a tattoo parlor
by Kevin Fitzpatrick
One of the worst kept secrets among The Lord of the Rings cast was that all of the actors comprising Peter Jackson's "fellowship" went out and got matching tattoos as a memento of their experiences together in New Zealand. While the press honoured their requests that we not photograph the tattoos, some did lift their shirts, pull down their pants, or expose their ankles to show off their lasting reminders of The Lord of the Rings!
Where is your tattoo?
Viggo Mortensen: Not in the same place as theirs! We all got the same one - the word "nine" in Elvish - because that's what we are, nine. I visited the tattooist a couple times, showed him the drawing and stuff. I didn't say anything about Ian McKellen or whoever may be coming in. He just did it. We did all meet one morning and it was an interesting event, and I enjoyed it. Half a day. Actually everyone showed up. It goes along with all the other scars we got!
Ian McKellen: It did rather surprise me- I didn't think I'd ever have a tattoo: I've never been pierced, but I am now. It's on display during Dance of Death, if you want to see it - I take my shirt off on the Broadway stage, and it'll cost you $70.
Who was first?
Billy Boyd: Me. It was Dom's [Dominic Monaghan] idea, but once we got to the tattoo parlor, there was a lot of "Where are we going to have it?"
Sean Astin: There was a lot of fear.
Boyd: Sean held my hand. It's actually quite soft.
Dominic Monaghan: It was a guy called Roger at Roger's Tattoo Parlor in Wellington. He didn't open on Sunday, but we only had a day off on a Sunday. After we all came together and committed to this idea, I think Viggo rang him. He told him, "We know you don't open on a Sunday, we'll make it worth your while." We all turned up there, I think at 11:00, and it was a real party atmosphere. We were all taking photos and writing in diaries. It was one of my favorite days in New Zealand, I think. I'll show you [mine], because these guys have theirs on their foot. [Lifts shirt to show shoulder blade.]
Boyd: Of course, we got the tattoos about a week before we finished [shooting], and I wasn't really thinking ahead...so we still had a week to [spend with] these prosthetic feet! And I had the tattoo and so did Sean. They had to glue [the feet] on - quite painful.
Monaghan: I was just thinking, you guys got it on your foot, and Orlando got it on his forearm and he's a bowman and he's always using his forearm. I was using a sword a lot.
Can we see it?
Orlando Bloom: [rolling up shirt sleeve] We don't want to show it if we don't have to, we rather like to keep it amongst the nine of us in a way, it's our own personal thing. It was designed by [conceptual artist] Alan Lee. I took Sean Bean down to a tattoo parlor in New York about a month and a half ago, because he was not in New Zealand when we got ours. So we got his [done] downtown. There were nine of us, nine tattoos. But maybe [New Line Cinema Executive Producer] Mark Ordesky will get one - he was number 10!
Elijah Wood: I can show you now, can't I? Because it's off-camera. [Lifts shirt, shows tattoo is on waist.]
How'd you pick that spot?
Wood: I don't know...it just fe lt right. It felt like the right place to put it.

The Eastern Eyes Have It
Kate Bosworth, arriving with her ferocious Wall Street femme friends for a dinner out with yummy honey Orlando Bloom and the rest of the Lord of the Rings gang. Serafina, 61st and Madison Avenue. Superskinny in jeans and a black sweater, the posh cutie-tamootie chatted away with the girls in the women's restroom line, while her Pirates of the Caribbean b-f...
O.B. was gabbing with his poppin' boy-pals and sorta ignoring his sex-ay g-f (just for a second, I'm sure). But who cares, really, since O. was looking totally lickable in denim pants and a long black cashmere coat, with some seriously bushy hair? The Boz didn't seem to sweat the mini-snub, since the Pirate Man left with K. at his side after dinner. Saliva-switch! Let's turn our attention to Bloom's Hobbit-hopping bud...
Elijah Wood, who was sporting a pseudo-weird Mohawk and his usual deer-in-the-headlights look on this night out. Arriving first, E.W. and his compadres Dominic Monaghan, Billy Boyd and Sean Astin were all dressed actor-down in jeans and tees, with scarves around their necks. Oh yes, and the other three had Mohawks too. Perhaps that's the latest trendy 'do for Hobbits? After munching their meals, E.W. and his boys headed to the back bar, where...
Sean Astin was gabbing away on his cell in earnest. But he did take time to joke around with a drunken dude who rolled up and jokingly told him The Goonies was his best work. Rolling with the punches, S.A. agreed.
[..] However, sad to say, not everyone in Hell-Ay attended the Institute of Ms. Manners.
Especially those rowdy Lord of the Rings boys, God love 'em! Just last week, head Hobbit Elijah Wood rushed out on opening night to catch a screening of Orlando Bloom's flick Pirates of the Caribbean. The Grove Theaters, at 3rd Street and Fairfax.
Accompanied by a posse of arty actor types, E.W. was looking adorable, with his hair buzz-cut and wearing a light gray tee and denims. And while he and his band of boys were all smiles and applause--especially for the trailer featuring pal Viggo Mortensen's upcoming project, Hidalgo--they weren't quite feeling the love for Tom Cruise's sword-wielding venture, The Last Samurai.
As the puncturing preview flickered across the screen, a round of snickering broke out amongst Elijah's group before they out-and-out began to laugh. No clapping, indeed.
But I must say, in defense of Wood & Co., they weren't the only ones laughing.
Must've been some really funny inside joke, because we all know Tom-babe isn't a laughing matter. Not at all.

[...] B.L. Who impressed you most in the cast and why?
D.M. I think it was like that with a lot of actors. That was one of the
great things about the third movie. Because we were all separated,
instead of the Fellowship where you see everyone’s work, in the third
film you think "Wow, Elijah, that was great work, and Orlando and Bill
and Viggo." You’re impressed with everyone’s work, because at that time
everyone is working so hard.
B.L. How about Viggo. Why was he the perfect actor to play Aragorn?
D.M. I don’t think he’s the perfect actor for the role.
B.B. I think you are (to Dominic).
D.M. I think Viggo has a lot of qualities of Aragorn. He completely
commits to what he’s doing, which is what Aragorn eventually does too.
He was a great leader for the actors, especially for some of the young
guys. I know that Orlando had a really great time with Viggo. He just
really commits 100%. He has a lot of fun and there’s always something
going on around Viggo.
B.B. Like flies?
D.M. Yes, he doesn’t shower. But at the end of every day there was
always some kind of party going on in one of our trailers where we have
drinks, hang out, chat. And he was a great guy for bringing together
the camaraderie and reminding us it was a group effort. He kind of led
by example, which is what Aragorn does.

Billy in SFX magazine Christmas 2004.
"How do you see your work on Lord of the Rings? I think that the Hobbits are the emotional core of the movie. Even Aragorn isn't the heart of the movie; the Hobbits are.
Aragorn is more the arse of the movie. Really, really tight arse in his leather trousers.
You've looked, then? I can tell.
Yeah, I've slapped it. Slapped it hard. And I heard him squeal like a baby.
Legolas is obviously the hair of the movie.
Very beautiful hair. One thing about Orlando is that he smells of bubblegum. Always. He's bubblicious.
Is it some sort of pheromone that he gives off?
Yeah, he exudes bubblicious chewing gum."

Sex and the Single Whirl
Well, let's see. Don't think they do it in Hollywood like they do it in New Zealand.
You do know about that singles sport, doncha?
While those adorable Hobbit buds and Liv&Viggo&Miranda&Orlando and myriad mush-minded individuals were searching for love, strange things happened. Like waitress pinning.
Merde! Was I supposed to say waitstaff pinning? My apologies.
Anyhoo! One bugger whose name shall remain unmentioned by me (and whose friggin' lawyer can kiss my voicemail, as I'm not being overly specific), who was down N.Z. way while filming the second and third Lord of the Rings installments, surprised a few of his chums. By doing the above-mentioned food-server on a table. In the establishment for which she toiled. In every sense of the word.
But did she get a tip?
Closer to (I thought) tackier home, Tinseltown's swingers do it a tad more discreetly. Barely. Oh, to be free, unattached and on the make in La-La Land.

Oh! One more sexually charged item before we trip on to the Eyes Fantastic, 'kay by you? Thought so.Those frisky Hobbit boys (men, creatures, byoots, what have you) wereonly too happy to discuss derrieres and other daring subjects, post-awards wins. Well, sorta glad.

"He's so far up Viggo Mortensen's ass, he couldn't even see it!" Sean Astin remarked about fellow Lord of the Rings winner Elijah Wood, when I asked the best buds to rate V.M.'s butt. And, yes, there was a reason.
Once you see the salty awards (way I like 'em), you'll notice a great deal of footage is devoted to buttage, particularly that of Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore. Hilarious stuff. Made quite a dent in the show's feel, so to speak.Could this to-the-gluteus-max atmosphere be the reason Billy Boyd saw fit to use the occasion to deny he's dated costar Dominic Monaghan?
Like I said, salty stuff.

But what we're all dying to know is what's really going on with that
cuddly guy group--Dominic, Billy and Sean--right? "Tell me,"
I ventured to Hobbit honcho E.W., "how does it feel to have the Fellowship
coming to an end, both onscreen and off?"

"It's sad," he replied with a melancholy smile. "It's been four years
in the making, and in the process of that journey, we created a family. I
haven't begun to really accept it. I think when it does hit me, I'll be
really sad."
More up front about their nooky-loving ways was Hob-in-waiting D.M.
"All right, let's get it out in the open," I said. "Why is everyone
convinced there's something going on with you guys?"
"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."

"Billy said that they'd been in LA for a month or so, that the hecklers last night were his friends, and that Viggo attacked him in the bathroom at the club -- at first he didn't know who it was and thought he was being kidnapped for a moment."
"Before Billy came out, there was a fan video about Aragorn and Arwen. Billy cane out and said he was distracted by Viggo kissing, and that Viggo had kissed him with more passion than he did Liv!"

Orlando on stage
Hundreds of women eager for a snap and a touch of the hunk waited for Orlando after he performed ‘In Celebration’ at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London.
After bumping into each other yesterday, Liv Tyler made an effort to see her ‘Lord of the Rings’ co-star on stage.
Tidbits from this nice Billy Boyd interview :
You’re not the only musician from the Lord Of The Rings cast. How many of you play instruments?
Well, Viggo plays, and when my band were out in LA playing gigs Viggo and Orlando came along and I think Viggo really liked it. We may produce something together. Umm, Elijah plays a bit, Dom plays a bit… I mean, we have all jammed a few times, but nothing too serious.
You should all do a Christmas single — it’ll go straight to number 1.
Yeah! (Laughs) ‘Follow The Fellowship’.
When did you last see any of the Rings guys?
I was over in the States in April and saw quite a few of them. I saw Viggo, Orlando, Dom, Elijah, spoke to Sean but never saw him… I saw Orlando a couple of weeks ago down here, because I was down doing a radio play and he’s down rehearsing his play. Bernard Hill is with me in Save Angel Hope. You don’t get to see Bernard do much comedy but he’s playing a comedy police chief in this one and is great.
Are you still planning on writing a film with Dominic Monaghan?
Yes. It’s just that we made the mistake of telling people about it before we’d done it. It’s so hard to get a film made even when people want to make it — the months just go on and you say. ‘Okay, we need a meeting’ and you know, Dom will be in Lost and I’ll be in a film and the first time you can get a meeting is like ... August and that’s a meeting about setting up a meeting, and it all just trundles on and on. (At this point Boyd drops a huge Lost spoiler that we won’t repeat)
Just to wrap up, a lot of rubbish gets put on the internet, so we thought we’d read a few Billy Boyd rumours to you. Please confirm if they’re true or false…
And finally, the cast of Lord Of The Rings had group showers together.
(long guilty pause) Semi-true. When we were learning how to canoe, me, Dom, Sean Bean, Elijah, Sean, Viggo, Orlando and John Rhys-Davis all went together down the river. After the canoeing sessions, the four Hobbits and Orlando did have showers together.
You heard it hear first, it’s confirmed
And before you ask I am the biggest.
(Laughs) Do you want me to put that up on the internet for you?
Please!
