'The Hobbit' Films Get Release Dates
The first of the Peter Jackson-directed installments will be called The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and Warner Bros will release the film Dec. 14, 2012. The second installment, The Hobbit: There And Back Again, will be released a year later, on Dec. 13, 2013. The films revolve around the adventures of Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), and his efforts to thwart the fearsome dragon Smaug. I'd heard way back when that Jackson was eyeing Bill Nighy to provide the voice of the dragon, but Jackson hasn't yet announced who he got, and I'm told the whole thing is being kept under lockdown. Jackson has brought back from The Lord of the Rings such cast members as Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood, Andy Serkis, Christopher Lee and Hugo Weaving.The other unanswered question is, since Jackson is shooting the Hobbit films in 3D, will New Line owner Warner Bros convert the original Lotr franchise into 3D format?»

Sophie la Girafe celebrates 50th year at the height of fashion
The chewable rubber baby's toy has become an unlikely object of desire
Ed Miliband posed with this Gallic beauty on the cover of Guardian Weekend. The leggy stunner has also been papped with Hollywood names such as Sofia Coppola, Sandra Bullock, Nicole Richie and Maggie Gyllenhaal. She even had a cameo role in Sex and the City 2. Her name? Sophie la Girafe: 18cm of chewable rubber cuteness that squeaks when squeezed, soothes teething gums and is having something of a fashion moment.
Sophie may be the baby accessory du jour, but she's by no means new. Indeed, she's been around for twice the lifespan of a real giraffe. She turned 50 this month, having been produced by Vulli, a company based in the Haute-Savoie region of France, since 1961. She's remained utterly unchanged – not for her any new-fangled makeovers (I'm looking at you, Sindy and Barbie).
