Fans of the "Lord of the Rings" can get excited again, as Peter Jackson has agreed to produce two films based on "The Hobbit".

We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth." "The Hobbit" films, based on JRR Tolkien's book are set to be released in 2010 and 2011.

Chicago police are investigating a vehicle that crashed into the downtown studio of WLS-TV (ABC-7) during the top of last night's evening news, causing no injuries. Just after 10 p.m., a loud noise was heard inside the studio and on the air, startling weekend anchor Ravi Baichwal. A police spokesman, Officer David Banks, said early this morning that the investigation was only in its early stages. Banks said it was not immediately clear why the male driver of a Mazda MPV with Indiana license plates plowed into the studio's reinforced glass wall. ABC 7 President and General Manager Emily Barr said the incident might have been deliberate, but there was no way of verifying that late last night.
