Celebrity Trio Plans School Tour
Rome (FN) - Yoda, Gollum and Pope Benedict XVI have teamed up to form a new kids' safety message charity.
The three celebrities announced today the formation of The Terrific Trio, a charitable organization that will conduct a world-wide tour aimed at delivering a series of positive message to school-aged children.
Jointly, the three will deliver a message about feeling good about yourself. Each celebrity will also deliver their own special message.
Master Yoda will focus on kids' literacy.
"Good grammer have one must," said the 900-year-old Jedi.
Gollum will deliver a hard-hitting, 'scared straight' style lecture on the dangers of addiction.
"Staying clean is the most pree-cii-oouusss thing of all," said the creepy ex-hobbit.
The Pope is rehearsing a rap music routine on the topic of abstinence before marriage.
"Love is fine when it's blessed by the Divine," chanted the pontiff.
Performing rap music is a dramatic departure for Benedict XVI, whose previous musical ventures included touring with a Catholic doo-wop group who performed a cover of "You're Sixteen, You're Beautiful and You're Mine."
At the media launch in Rome, the trio joked that the idea for the charity developed when the three celebrities, who are frequently confused for one another, started receiving each other's fan mail by mistake.

Gollum looks a lot like CNN Democratic pundit James Carville, doesn't he?
Separated at birth, perhaps?
