Gollum Gives Relationship Advice, Sings About the Precious That He Used to Know [VIDEO]

Ian James Walters, who sung I Dreamed a Dream and Mad World as Gollum, is up to his old tricks. This time the song is “Somebody That I Used to Know,” with the added bonus of Gollum as a relationship counselor. Look, just go with it, it works.

Watch, If You Dare, Gary Busey Talking (And Singing!) About the Sex Drive of Hobbits [VIDEO]

Skip to 1:22 for the Hobbit stuff, unless you want to hear noted Hobbit expert Gary Busey talk about Korea, Lapland, baby reindeer, and the (questionable) etymology of the word “horny.”

Vaguely NSFW, but it’s Sunday and you’re a rebel.

Gollum Does A Lord of the Rings Rendition Of Donnie Darko’s Mad World

Originally recorded by Tears for Fears, “Mad World” was covered by Michael Andrews and Gary Jules for the movie Donnie Darko. Here’s Gollum singing it. But it’s not just a cover, it’s Gollum singing about stuff that happens in Lord of the Rings to the tune of the song. Pretty creative if you ask me. But it’s not the first time! You may remember the same guy doing a song from Les Misérables. But what is up with the dude in the background?

The Tolkien Family Refuses to Let An Unauthorized Biography Pass

Guys, it’s been at least a few weeks since the Tolkien estate got into a copyright dispute with someone. The lucky person this time around is Daniel Grotta, author of J.R.R. Tolkien: Architect of Middle-earth, the very first biography of the legendary author.

The book was first published in 1976, and now Grotta wants to release an updated e-book edition (for free). But he can’t. Because the Tolkien estate’s lawyers are standing in the wings, slapping rolled-up lawsuits against their palms while backup dancers finger-snap menacingly behind them.

Gandalf and Saruman Salt and Pepper Shakers Get on My Table Right Now

Don’t pretend like this isn’t the best licensed character to product integration you haven’t seen all week. Though, as Rebecca pointed out to me, you just know some jerk is going to put pepper in Saruman and salt in Gandalf just to screw with everybody. But Ian McKellan and Christopher Lee aren’t the only Lord of the Rings actors to soon be immortalized as ceramic food containers. No, there’s plenty more where these came from.
