In an historic event (and thanks to MTV News' Josh Horowitz), Gollum and Jar Jar were able to have a short conversation during a recent press junket for "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey."

Will we ever see such a monumental day for CGI characters again? Probably not. This is probably as good as it's ever going to get.
