  • Courtesy of The Frisky, here are 9 Sex Lessons from Downton Abbey, season three of which premieres on PBS tonight. #4: “You can get out of having sex with your husband if you marry him on his deathbed.” Good to know.
  • Deadline reports that Dominic Monaghan was inspired to do his new nature doc series, Wild Things With Dominic Monaghan, by the death of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. Waitaminute, Dominic Monaghan is hosting a series where he goes around looking for exotic animals? How did I miss this?
  • James McAvoy wants us to know that if any Hobbit prequels—say, The Silmarillion—ever get made into movies, he totally wants to be young Gandalf. So he’s already played prequel-Sir Patrick Stewart, and now he wants to play prequel-Sir Ian McKellen. I’d be OK with it. (via Digital Spy)

    So, I guess James McAvoy never read The Silmarillion, then?

    “In the likeness of Men they appeared, old but vigorous, and they changed little with the years.”

    That’s the description of the Wizards when they show up in Middle Earth. There was never was a “young Gandalf.” Although by the time Christopher Tolkien lets a film studio anywhere near The Silmarillion, James McAvoy may well be an old man.
