:: From Marissa: I got a magazine called Brio and it had a little blurb with Elijah Wood. The question was:
While working on these movies, did you learn a particular life lesson that would be valuable for teens today?
You don't realize how important your friends are until you need them. During tough times when you lose perspective or have mental or emotional fatigue, those are the people who pick you up and tell you, 'It's cool. We're in this together.' Embrace those friends that you have.
:: BTW, Rocio.. Could you please email me? you know who you are ;) Thanks!!

:: New article and picture thanks to Capotica!
:: Arwen60 sent along a couple of questions from lordoftherings.com that were asked to Sean Astin about Elijah:
What was it like to be part of Frodo's quest as he nears Mount Doom?
It was an amazing thing as an actor to watch the relationship of Peter Jackson and Elijah Wood. How could Elijah, who is so sweet and has such goodness in him, communicate the idea of trying not to give in to pain and suffering and darkness and hatred and villainy and treachery? You can see it on his face, you can feel it. The audience is in for a real treat--and for a bit of pain.
Can you talk about working with Elijah?
Working with Elijah was the realization of a brotherhood chemistry, onscreen and off. It's hard to put into words how someone like that is so important to you, what they mean to you and what working with them is like.
:: From Miranda: on the 12th of december Beyond the movie: the Return of the Ring is comming on the Dutch versie of National Geographic.it is at 22.00 hours Dutch time.

:: FrodoandSam.net have lots of new clips up, including Elijah on Jay Leno!
:: Elijah was on "Wetten dass" and Nadine sent me some info about it:
He was one of the first guests (other guests were Kylie Minogue and Kelly+Ozzy) and stayed for the whole show (which lasts about 3 hours!). Every celebrity guest on the show has to bet on something and if he loses, there's always an embarassing thing for him to do. Luckily Elijah won his bet (otherwise he'd have had to learn a german christmas poem). Before the show started he gave a backstage interview and said that he'd heard a lot about the show and was very excited about it. In the main interview he basically didn't say anything new...he talked about "The Return of the King", living in New York and the fact that he smokes too much. Charming as he is, he also told Kylie and another female guest (Katharina Witt) how beautiful they looked and drank a "Glühwein" with Ozzy.
You can view a clip here [click on the link on the right] ... and here are some pics: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] -- Thanks Nadine!
:: New Frodo pic which Aimee sent me
:: There are some new magazine scans up
:: Ryan, who writes for Stanford University's arts & entertainment paper, got the chance to interview Elijah on the first day of the North American press junket. The interview won't be published until January, but he sents this snippet:

Ryan: You're doing Saturday Night Live, right?
Elijah: That's right.
Ryan: That's pretty exciting.. what kind of preparation have you done-- you've talked to them . . . ?
Elijah: I've talked to them very briefly, I've not done anything to prepare yet-- my mind is kindof being pulled left and right for all the press I'm doing for Lord of the Rings, but I start next week, next monday, and it'll basically be a full week devoted to rehearsal and the writing process and all of that for the show. So, I'll really sort of get it all kindof sussed out next week, but I'm scared shitless.
Ryan: No, I can imagine. Just watch out for, like, "Dildo Baggins" jokes or whatever
Elijah: Oh, I'm sure there's gonna be some sort of LOTR's reference.
Ryan: Do you know, who's the musical guest?
Elijah: The musical guest is Jet, which will be kind of fun.

Thanks for sending that in Ryan :)

:: A lil snipet from a Canadian magazine - Thanks KW: NO LUCK WITH THE LADIES - Elijah Wood claims that being famous hasn't improved his love life. The 'Lord of the Rings' actor has confessed that his luck with women hasn't improved since he starred in the epic trilogy. He revealed: "People always tell me, ' You're a good looking guy - and you're famous.' Some guy said to me the other day, 'I bet they're in line around the block,' I wish. If only it was that simple. It's not been the easiest of times, despite all the movies and fleeting fame."

DZ: Elijah, it's good to have you with us!
EW: Thank you. It's good to be here.
DZ: So the third installment of LOTR is approaching. How does that feel?
EW: It's great! I'm excited to have it out and see what people will think of it. It's also a bit sad because of the separation. It's all over now.
DZ: Will you not see everyone?
EW: Oh I'm sure we'll continue to see eachother. We've made life long friends making the movies and there's a bond there.
DZ: Many of our readers love you in the trilogy!
EW: Well, thank you! That's really flattering and wonderful!
DZ: You're single?
EW: Yeah
DZ: How is that going for you now that you've gained so much fame?
EW: -the mag says he laughs here- It's all pretty much the same as it was before. I've not had much luck with it. I'm still looking.
DZ: Even after everything?
EW: Oh yeah. Fame doesn't score you extra points with the women that count. I wouldn't want to date a woman who only wanted to be with me because of my fame.
DZ: What kind of girl do you want?
EW: I'd really enjoy a woman that has her own goals and aspirations. I really like women who are driven. It's inspiring!
DZ: Did you like working with Liv?
EW: Oh yes! She's quite good and very lovely. I really enjoyed it. She's amazing as Arwen. Everyone is amazing in the film!
DZ: Thank you for your time Elijah!
EW: Thank you!
