Peter Jackson announced via Facebook on Sunday that former Lost star Evangeline Lilly has been added to the cast of The Hobbit. She'll play a new character, "the Woodland Elf, Tauriel," and while Jackson refused to elaborate further, he did write that Tauriel would not be a love interest for Legolas (Orlando Bloom). Barry Humphries (a/k/a Dame Edna) was also added to the cast, as the Goblin King. Congrats, you two! [Facebook/Peter Jackson]
