At first glance, I would assume this was a role-playing costume for people who wanted to dress up as those giant talking trees from “Lord Of The Rings” (“They’re called Ents, dumbass.” — Email I’m going to get from my brother as soon as this is published), but it’s actually a vintage skirt suit that’s being sold for $832. I’m not sure what the going rate is for an Ent costume these days, so who knows, that might actually be a good deal. Even so, I think I’ll pass. [Farfetch]

Guess That Fan Fiction, Win Nerd Respect!

My best friend once made the mistake of telling me that she had written “Buffy” fan fiction when she was younger and I mercilessly teased her for years, even though it was that nerdy center that endeared her to me in the first place.

And those funny little ears. Eww. Playing Frodo did nothing to up Elijah Wood’s sex appeal, we remind you. [Perez Hilton] Keep reading »

The Daily Hotness: Viggo Mortensen

Some people may say that Viggo Mortensen, who’s known for his roles in those boring Lord Of The Rings movies and for being director David Cronenberg’s male muse, gets a lot of crap for his facial hair choices. Even though I picked a photo of him where he is clean shaven, I admire his ability to rock the Fu Manchu and General Custer-inspired facial fuzz. I also really admired his penis’s appearance in Eastern Promises, the real reason he’s eternally hot. Keep reading »
