There is no movie that I am looking forward to more than The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey – which is set to hit the big screen in December.

Excitement around the movie continues to grow and the release of more images from the film looks set to only heighten that excitement.

Earlier this summer it was revealed that The Hobbit was going to be split into three movies instead of the originally planned two – so for the next three Christmases we are going to be heading to Middle Earth.

Martin Freeman is set to play Bilbo Baggins in the movie while Ian McKellan, Andy Serkis, Cate Blanchett and Hugo Weaving are some of the familiar faces on the cast list.

But Luke Evans, Richard Armitage, Benedict Cumberbatch, Evangeline Lily and Billy Connolly make up a very exciting group of actors.

Ruth’s Thursday Tweet

Looks as though my assumptions that most psychics want to cash in on death could be coming true after Derek Acorah has announced plans to chat to Michael Jackson in a new TV show for Sky One! Can’t ANYONE leave Jacko to rest in peace?

Late Boyzone star Stephen Gately is to be laid to rest on Saturday in his hometown of Dublin. But as the preparations for his funeral begin, does anyone else still find it hard to come to terms with his untimely death?

As if Alex Reid hadn’t bagged himself enough headlines after shacking up with Katie Price and filming a gross rape scene, he’s now trying to piss off Peter Andre by telling the papers that Junior has been calling him “Daddy.” AR is saying he’s set Junior straight… so why does he feel the need to alert the press?

Cheryl Cole might have taken over your radio station with her new single Fight For This Love, but after admitting she was planning to mime the single on this weekend’s X Factor, we’re stuck for words, especially since she’s supposed to be teaching those X Factor wannabes how to sing live!

When Heath Ledger passed away last year it’s fair to say that it did come as a bit of a shock. This week sees his final movie hit the big screen in the form of The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus so we take a look back over his career and his finest performances.

Ian McKellan is in for another lengthy shoot as The Hobbit looks set to take twelve months to film. Now I know that the popular novel has been split into two movies but that really does seem just a tad excessive.
