Isn't there a 2nd dinner too?  And evening snack?  How do these hobbits stay so thin?

"They tend to be fat of stomach"  - if I recall correctly.  I bet they do Atkins.....

MSN has this first look at Dean O'Gorman as Fili and Aidan Turner as Kili in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Two of the youngest dwarves, Fili and Kili have been born into the royal line of Durin and raised under the stern guardianship of their uncle, Thorin Oakensheild. Neither has ever travelled far, nor ever seen the fabled Dwarf City of Erebor. For both, the journey to the Lonely Mountain represents adventure and excitement. Skilled fighters, both brothers set off on their adventure armed with the invincible courage of youth, neither being able to imagine the fate which lies before them.

Excellent Bombur - although I was expecting a proper full beard, not mutton-chops.

Here's two more... Balin and Dwalin

[Bromptonboy]

Love the way they look - especially Balin.

Hollywood star Orlando Bloom has been seen out and about in Wellington, joining a growing number of Hobbit actors arriving in the city as production resumes after a three-month hiatus.
Wellingtonians Miranda Webster, Aggie Galloway, Kayla Carruthers, Sam Walton and Hannah Robson met Bloom yesterday when they saw him shopping in the central city.
Ms Carruthers, 19, said she and her friends were on Vivian St when they saw Bloom go into a photography store.
"We weren't sure at first if it was him or not, so we waited around casually outside the stop, and then when he came out we saw it was definitely him."
They approached the star, who plays elf archer Legolas in Sir Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films, and asked if he would pose for a photo or two.
"He was really, really nice, and asked us how we were going. He was dressed really casually, and his hair was a bit shaggy."
Bloom, who recently celebrated the birth of his first child with his wife, model Miranda Kerr, is reportedly set to earn $1 million for his return as Legolas, despite appearing in the film for less than two minutes.
British actor Stephen Fry, who will play the Master of Laketown, has also been seen around the city this week.

A good friend of mine who now lives in New Zealand told me that her friend Gemma Watson (lead stunt double for Evangaline Lilley) was sword fighting with Orlando Bloom and having a great time. Needless to say my friend is very jealous lol

I am at a "Lost" for words...

[Bromptonboy]

Lost star Evangeline Lilly is the latest celebrity to join the cast of The Hobbit. The 31-year-old actress, who played Kate Austen in Lost, was in New Zealand to play Woodland Elf, Tauriel, as Peter Jackson announced on his Facebook page. He said, "Her name means 'daughter of Mirkwood' and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing!". Sadly there will be no romantic connection to Legolas. Read his full letter below:
Yikes! I can finally get back to some postings! We've finished our first block of shooting and moved straight into location scouting. More on that soon... But today, I'm thrilled to announce two new cast members who will be joining us for our second block of shooting.
Evangeline Lilly will be playing a new character,the Woodland Elf, Tauriel. Her name means 'daughter of Mirkwood' and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing! (No, there is no romantic connection to Legolas.) What is not a secret is how talented and compelling an actress Evangeline is; we are thrilled and excited she will be the one to bring our first true Sylvan Elf to life.
I'm also highly excited that Barry Humphries will be portraying the Goblin King, in much the way Andy Serkis created Gollum. Barry is perhaps best known for his business and social connections as the long-time manager of Dame Edna Everage. He has also been an ardent supporter of the rather misunderstood and unfairly maligned Australian politician, Sir Les Patterson. However, in his spare time, Barry is also a fine actor, and we're looking forward to seeing him invest the Goblin King with the delicate sensitivity and emotional depth this character deserves.
Evangeline and Barry, along with Welsh actor Luke Evans as Bard and Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug, just about rounds out the major casting. I cannot wait to get stuck into these new scenes!
More soon, including a flurry of answers to your questions. Sorry for the delay!
Cheers, Peter J.

Well, I never thought I'd be reading about Dame Edna on this forum!

It will be interesting to se how Humphries does since, over here, he's really only known (as far as I know) in his drag persona. (I know I'm ignoring 'Sir Les' but Humphries is seen much more often in the wig, glasses and pearls than he is in the stained tux and buck teeth).
