SIX paternity tests? So she slept UNPROTECTED with six guys? IF thats true, it sounds like somebody's biological alarm clock was drowning out Big Ben! But then again, she has more than enough money to support the sperm donor.

Were you being facetious when you said 6 or were you serious? (just curious.hmm, maybe i'm just old fashioned but 'careless' romps with 6 diff men in the span of a few months seems like a lot to mebut then again, i'm not judging.)

i don't get a good vibe from her either. just another one of those stuck up women who think they own the place. and she really dated merry from LOTR's? cmon that's obvious she was with him for the publicity. and she may not be that bad looking but theres a reason she was picked to play tough fighter elf. she has a mean streak about her that i don't find particularly attractive. i didn't watch lost so i didn't know her at all in this film. then i found out she was on that dumb show and i was like, figures.

Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan already broke up years ago. Long before she was even considered for the Hobbit. Besides just the thought that Dominic has any influence on the casting is ridiculous.

Things didn
t go that way but I agree that casting Monaghans ex is very tacky.
She1s a C list. 34 years old, already past her prime lookswise (dont bother to post heavily Photoshopped pics, Wellington premiere revealed her true face), dumb quotes and still pimping $5 shampoos. Serves her right for trying to cash in on Hunger Games mania.
Tauriels gonna suck so hard even MTV MA wont let her agent rig the votes in her fvaor.
BOMB! -

Seriously?- She and Monaghan broke up in 2009. FIVE YEARS AGO, and well before "Hobbit" casting. Or "Hunger Games" for that matter (WTF? Tauriel has nothing to do with Katniss as a character in any way
Lord of the Rings
and its Elven archers preceded the
Hunger Games
books by years and the films by over a decade. Just FYI). - Norman Kali was not a producer. He was a
production assistant
on "Lost" who joined years after her casting. Not exactly a casting couch situation. As a principal actor, Lilly had far more power than he did so "she got knocked up by a 'Lost' producer' is not only inaccurate, it's kind of insulting to both of them. Personally, I actually like that they got together, it supports the idea that she's not a superficial person who cares about titles. - I agree that she's not A-list. But I like that about her. She made her fortune from "Lost," has options, spends lots of time on humanitarian aid and doesn't act 365 days a year. I like that being an actress doesn't seem to own her.
- But: "Past her looks?" Did you SEE "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug?" She looks absolutely gorgeous, honestly even prettier than when she played Kate. Totally movie-star stunning, and she moves beautifully too. Meanwhile, 34 is hardly "past her prime" (unless you're a 16 year old fanboy). She easily looks mid-20s even on IMAX.
- She hawks shampoos on occasion for the same reason plenty of A-C-list actresses do, it's a good gig for huge money, the residuals are insane, and it's a way also to keep themselves 'present' without a lot of PR effort.
I'm not even a huge fan of Lilly's (I like her but wouldn't say I follow her life or career constantly), but I was totally gobsmacked and amused by the picture you paint of Lilly as some aging desperate starlet who seduced a producer [right after dumping her boyfriend] and who only got "Hobbit" because of a guy she broke up with 5 years ago or something. Come
on
. I give Peter Jackson (and Lilly
and
Monaghan) more credit than that. The connection is nebulous at best Jackson just liked her work and thought she might make a really cool-looking elf which I'd agree with.
Ultimately, this post's kind of bitter misogynistic nastiness makes me feel real sympathy for actresses like Lilly, who aren't stars or trying to be, just trying to make a paycheck. Why paint her as a prostitute just because you don't like her work?
And last but not least as 'Smaug' is already a hit edging on a billion dollars once again for the franchise, I don't think PJ is worrying too much about your assessment of Tauriel. Meanwhile, the character surprised me by being my favorite new character in
Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug
I thought Lilly was perfectly cast and I liked her chemistry with her castmates.
In fact, for me, after this latest "Hobbit," she showed enough range that I'm interested to see what else she can do, and I was skeptical about her range before the film. I hope she continues to push the envelope. I like her and wish her well.
I keep thinking I'm a grownup, but I'm not. - She and Monaghan broke up in 2009. FIVE YEARS AGO, and well before "Hobbit" casting. Or "Hunger Games" for that matter (WTF? Tauriel has nothing to do with Katniss as a character in any way

You feel sorry for her, seriously? I feel sorry for Dominic that she cheated on him. FACT. Regarding The Hobbit, her character shouldn't have been it in and is a terrible actress and made a horrible elf. Cate Blanchett and Liv Tyler would shake their heads at her portrayal. A complete and utter disgrace she is.
