Hobbits just got a whole lot sexier

Peter Jackson did his best to sex up Middle-earth by casting Orlando Bloom and Liv Tyler in his The Lord of the Rings films but it's taken an Australian fashion label to truly find the sauce in Tolkien's epic. Black Milk has discovered that hobbits and bearded wizards can be sexy if printed on a swimsuit or leggings. The fashion label, which makes printed leggings, swims, tops and skirts, will tomorrow launch a line of Tolkien-inspired fashionwear. Some of the designs are jaw-dropping, such as the Ring of Power swimsuit and the leggings printed with maps of Middle-earth; others, like the dresses with the big picture of Liv Tyler's face, are a bit surreal. Unfortunately, a few of the designs look like the kind of awkward poster prints you see on pirate videos. Mind you, what Geek Girl would pass up the chance to bellow "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" while wearing the Gandalf leggings?

Adele, Dad Drama: Singer's Estranged Father Pleads for a Reconciliation

Ben Stansall, AFP, Getty Images Adele 's estranged father is once again talking to the press, pleading with his daughter Adele to forgive him and let him meet his new grandson. Mark Evans has tried to reach his daughter since the birth of her son in October, even showing up at a record studio where she was, but has been unsuccessful. He's hoping his new pleas will finally reach his daughter and spark a reunion, but Adele was famously mad at him before for talking to the press. In the new interview with Britain's Daily Mail , he says, "I've left messages on her phone, I've written to her and I've sent her birthday and Christmas cards but it's like I'm dead to her. I'm not interested in her celebrity status or her money, I just want my daughter back and I want to be a proper grandad to the little one." Evans continues that it's been hurtful to hear about what is happening in his daughter's life, including the speculated name of her so

Peter Wafzig, Redferns Midge Ure, the singer and guitarist for the synthpop group Ultravox , had a very eventful 2012 -- a year marked by the British quartet's first new album in 25 years -- featuring Ure, Chris Cross, Billy Currie and Warren Cann -- and a European tour . Yet Ure isn't exactly taking a break after completing those Ultravox concerts. This month, he's in the midst of a solo tour of the States, where he hadn't performed for more than 10 years. But that's a relatively short hiatus given that Ultravox hadn't played together in America for over two decades. "It was always a bit of a bone of contention with Ultravox," Ure tells Spinner, "that we used to tour quite regularly in America. And because of technical limitations, we used to have to do five-hour sound checks because the equipment at the time was incredibly basic -- basic synthesizers, basic electronics. So we could never open up for another band, we could never do a package tour
