One of the postcards Billy signed during Newport Beach Film Festival is being auction for Billy's Loons Charities. All proceeds go to the Scottish Youth Theatre. [eBay] Dom will appear on The Ellen Degeneres Show today. [ellen.warnerbros.com] Q & A: Elijah Wood -- Frodo Baggins talks about his new soccer movie [sportsillustrated.cnn.com] On Tuesday night (April 26th), Sean Astin appeared at a banquet at the National Conference on Family Literacy in Louisville, Kentucky. His wife, Christine, and their two daughters appeared with him. After the banquet he was available for autographs. [TOR.n] Collectormania 7, a great Sci-Fi/Fantasy Con in the UK is the place to be this weekend. Bernard Hill, Sean Astin, John Rhys-Davies, Kiran Shah and Bruce Spence will be attending. [collectormania.com] It's the Rovers Return of the King as Sir Ian McKellen achieves his lifetime ambition of appearing on Coronation Street. This shot shows Limehouse resident Sir Ian in his first scenes on the ITV1 soap, in which he plays author Mel Hutchwright for 10 episodes to be screened next month. [icthewharf.icnetwork.co.uk] On Monday 2 May, Hollywood hunk Orlando Bloom could be answering your questions! The strapping star of Ridley Scott's Crusades epic 'Kingdom Of Heaven' will be in London to attend the European premiere, and take part in an exclusive video webcast with all his MTV fans. Twentieth Century Fox and MTV will be there to cover all the action, hosted and promoted by RealNetworks. [mtv.co.uk] A week before the much-anticipated film "Kingdom of Heaven" opens in theaters, the Crusades-era epic starring Orlando Bloom has sparked another battle. Acclaimed author and scholar James Reston Jr. claims the film swiped the story line from his 2001 book, "Warriors of God: Richard the Lionheart and Saladin in the Third Crusade." [news.yahoo.com] Orlando Bloom is a heart-throb to millions, but has always suffered something of a macho deficit in his big-screen epics. He just hasn't come across as very, well, butch. Yes, he was perfectly heroic as Legolas in the Lord of the Rings movies, but he was an elf. In his big scene in Troy as the impetuous lover Paris, he memorably scuttles from a fight towards the safety of the manly calves of Eric Bana. [smh.com.au] Brooding actor Sean Bean, whose recent successes include playing Boromir in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and Odysseus in "Troy", has signed on to star in "Silent Hill", the film adaptation of the best-selling video game franchise. Bean will play the husband of the female lead (Radha Mitchell) in the story of a mother and a daughter discovering the secrets of an abandoned town.
