Ian McKellen Offers Hobbit Fans Heart Attack for Breakfast

Sir Ian McKellan, ladies and gentlemen: "Martin Freeman has left The Hobbit. This is not another April Fool, just a May Fact. Before signing as Bilbo, Martin had agreed to make three 90-minute TV films in London, again playing Dr. Watson to Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes. No worries: He'll be back in Middle Earth after our first hiatus[.]" He's here all week, tip your waitresses, etc. [McKellen.com]
