There's a little Billy mention in the October issue of Total Film magazine on page 145, it says -

'Lord of the Rings effects house Weta whipped together more than 1,600 pairs of prosthetic feet. "They have a strange, squishy feeling," said Billy Boyd, who plays Pippin. "I wear the same pair all day, except when I have to run around lots. Then I usually get through two."

There is also a poll at Empire Online about which winter movie trailer is the best |link|

There was an article which features a mention of Billy in The Scotland on Sunday (a newspaper I presume) that said the following (thanks to Athena)

One of those was an old RSAMD, pal Billy Boyd, who played Pippin in The Lord of the Rings, and who was voted the second most eligible male in Scotland after Prince William. "Every time I saw him that night he had a wee bottle of champagne with a straw in it and was going 'See me, Dawn? I'm number two, what are you?' and I would have to say 'I'm number 12, Billy.' And he would go 'Och, never mind Dawn, better luck next year,' and wander away, before coming back to repeat the same thing 10 minutes later. He was absolutely flying."
