Mucho Hobbity Goodness!!
Cranberries Video With Elijah
I can't tell you what the title of this song is. Sorry. We can tell how into the Cranberries Queen Sarah is. *snort* But as for Elijah...there's much translucently pale skinned and big blue eyed beauty to be had in this video! ::claps hands::

He's dressed in black cargo type pants and a white tank top for the duration of the video...which shows off that he's not quite as skinny as everyone thinks he is. I'm guessing he's about 17 in this video, but he's good at making himself seem a different age, so he could be older.

He's running through a desert (or something), holding a gramophone thingy...looks like a cornucopia...and he's also sitting against a wall, listening to music with headphones. These are the good scenes, because he does this tortured, doubled over listening to the music thing, and it's hot. I must say, I really don't get this video, so if my descriptions sound a bit vague, that's because they are. :)

The *best* part is at the end...he's still listening to the music, but now he's got this rapturous expression on his face as he listens, and he lies down, still listening...Yummy!

So, all in all, it's a good video if you're looking for a Lij eyecandy fix. Mmm mmm mmm!! ::licks lips::

Total Request Live
This is SO GOOD!! This is a hobbit must see, people!! It starts out with Liv and Lij talking about the movie. Lij is in a grey sweater, a black button up shirt underneath, and blue jeans. Smokin'!! Liv seems pretty cool, though I didn't like the way she did her hair.

Oh, and Carson Daly is awesome. :)

I noticed that Lij gives a very good interview. He's obviously very intelligent, and he's so happy when he does them! His laugh is very infectious...But I do prefer him cleanshaven. Sorry hun. :)

Carson asked if water goes the opposite way in New Zealand. I guess he's a Simpsons fan! The even funnier thing is that Lij immediately answered 'It does!' They're on the same wavelength, apparently...But Lij did miss Mexican food in New Zealand.

Then, Dom, Billy, Astin, and Orli came out. When they were coming out, Dom accidentally poked a girl in the eye!! He later apologized on camera...::pout:: I wouldn't mind if Dom poked *me* in the eye! (Dear Lord, I've reached new depths of fangirlishness...::banging head on computer screen::)

Dom was wearing black cargoes and the shirt that you can see in the background pic. And, the ever present necklace. His hair is *awesome* in this appearance...This show also demonstrates that Dom has boundless energy. I'm thinking he's a fidgeter.

Billy was in faded blue jeans, a black shirt, and a tan jacket. (See background.) Now. A lot of times, Billy is described as 'cute'. Not here. Here, he's *fine*. Hot. Damn good looking. Sexy. ::Sarah's eyes cross:: I'm on a Billy kick. So sue me.

Orli was in a red button up shirt (with a white shirt underneath), and dark blue jeans.He was looking good, but Orli *always* looks good. It's in his genes, I think.

One downside of the TRL is that Billy and Orli didn't talk much, and Billy kept getting cut off. ::glowering::

Astin has a thing for NZ sheep, apparently. Sheep tastes like chicken, and sheep jerkey means something *entirely* different down under. <gg> Sean is *so freaking funny*...I love that man...*mwah*

The hobbits are touchy feely...
Dom: We *do* touch each other, though.
Carson: [wryly] Yeah, I noticed that...
But we knew that already...

Dom plays 'the gayest of all hobbits, as Tolkien said.'
Carson: Is that a happy hobbit?
Dom: Yeah, a happy hobbit...
*snicker* Methinks Tolkien meant it in a different way than the colloquial now...

Liv is a 'boy-girl' as Dom puts it, but she says that the guys would lift up her skirt and pinch her butt. However, Orli said that she was lying. 'She was constantly pinching my bottom!!' Heh. <veg>

They showed the Buckleberry Ferry clip, but it had no music. It was tres weird.

The running gag was that the crowd was shrieking uncontrollably. Dom did this screaming thing that was really funny. But you kinda had to see it...

They had to answer questions about each other, and it came out that Astin likes Subway meatball sandwiches!! That's the only sub I'll eat! WHOOHOO! Go Sean! ::high fives Astin:: I love that man...

Now, I need the help of the people who have seen this. When Billy answers 'Would that be...Sean Astin?' does he do it in an American accent? Or am I just losing it?

The last thing was that they had 15 seconds to sell their movie. This was perhaps one of the funniest things I have ever seen. Sean is in the front talking about the literary aspects of Tolkiens work, while the other are getting down with their groove selves behind him. Lij is practically giving Billy a lap dance (even though they're both standing up), Orli is doing some bordering on obscene bow thing and dancing with Liv, and Dom...well, Dom is doing a hip and chest grind thing around Astin.

Oh yes, it's as hilarious as it sounds...hehehe...

MTV Becoming A Hobbit
OK, Billy looks *good* at 5 am in the morning. Wowee!! He's wearing a green housecoat, carrying a cup of coffee, and has wet 'just showered' hair. Yum!

Lij was looking pretty darn chipper, too...with *his* cup of coffee...

In the makeup trailer, Dom was flipping through polaroids of himself.
'That's me...me...
me...and me! [to the camera] Hello!'

We also get to see Billy and Lij shaving, with electric shavers. Don't ask me why, but it's hot. ::shrug::

And we get to see Dom's own personal prosthetic...a 'fat tummy'! To which he says, ala the Scottish bad guy in Austin Powers, 'Big fat bastard!' Hee...He then chucks a Q-tip at Billy. Awww...poor Billy...<grin>

During this whole thing, Billy *always* has a cup of coffee. A boy unto my own heart...and he's wearing *really* cool sneakers!

Someone asks the question 'Do they put the feet on the same way they put the ears on?' To which Dom answers, 'No, if they did that, we'd have ears on our feet, you know...' *snickersnort* And I love how he cackles at the camera...

Piece of trivia: Lij has the sweatiest feet of all the hobbits, so the glue tends to melt for him...*cough too much info cough*

Dom is *obscenely* hyper at 5 am. It's almost painful...

And that concludes this installment of Mucho Hobbity Goodness! Night, y'all...
