'Lost' -- It's Back!: An update from Jen Chaney...
"Lost" finally, thankfully, resumes tonight at 10 p.m. (!) on ABC. Yes, the later time slot will make it even more challenging to catch all the details. We predict pots of coffee will be brewing across the country at approximately 9:53 p.m. ET.
To prepare for tonight's installment, which promises to be chock full of action, we offer these three items -- which are only vaguely spoilery -- to consider:
Ben will utter a line of dialogue ripped straight from a classic '80s horror movie.
There will be several shootings, an explosion and at least one dead body -- probably more than one, we're thinking.
We may spend some more time with that delightful Charles Widmore.
And, stay tuned for tomorrow's post-show analysis and chat and a very special chat with "Lost" Madness winner Henry Ian Cusick (aka Desmond).

I think Heincer were wise to pull out of the Press Ass'n dinner: it would have been embarrassing for them to watch the President do his little standup routine and then ask everyone at their table, "So, who is that guy, anyway?"
Posted by: byoolin | April 24, 2008 8:46 AM
"Jamie-Lynn Sigler splits from boyfriend."
If the picture accompanying the article is anything to go by, it was so she could pursue a career as a 40-year-old.

-Is anyone really surprised by Star Jones divorcing her (gay or not gay) husband?
-Why can't Amy Winehouse stay home?
Posted by: Lisa1 | April 24, 2008 8:53 AM
Nine million votes were cast in that FHM poll.
You have to wonder if sales of Kleenex to the pimply-faced geek community spiked during the survey period.

Becki Newtown re Naomi Campbell's appearance on Ugly Betty:
"Newtown, who stars as sassy receptionist Amanda Sommers on "Ugly Betty," isn't sure if she'll actually have scenes with the 37-year-old supermodel..."
You have to like the odds of a 'sassy' character near both a telephone AND Naomi Campbell at the same time.

Those 25 and under Brits thought they were voting Amy Winehouse 'ultimate heroin'.
Posted by: jes | April 24, 2008 9:12 AM
Ouch to Posh, although if her people have any ounce of sense, they'll spin this into a "designer fashion for the everyday shopper" or something.
Posted by: 23112 | April 24, 2008 9:13 AM
Somehow I don't think Woody Harrelson as a character reference is really going to help Wesley Snipes.
Now, Star Jones wants privacy???? She couldn't figure out how to keep her private life, you know, private 3 1/2 years ago?
Posted by: ep | April 24, 2008 9:13 AM
I know whenever I want to be left alone, I issue a press release to that effect.
Posted by: byoolin | April 24, 2008 9:18 AM
Hmm, you know, is it wrong that I didn't find anything of interest today except that Henry Ian Cusick is chatting tomorrow?
Too many projects after a norovirus - I think I need to nap today...
Posted by: Chasmosaur | April 24, 2008 9:20 AM
i think star jones has to continualy issue press releases about her life because no one cares anymore. it makes her feel important. i wonder who will sponsor her divore....
Posted by: melissmac1 | April 24, 2008 9:23 AM
I wonder if Star and Al (if there's a poll on when he comes out of the closet I'm in) have to pay back their wedding sponsors.
Posted by: petal | April 24, 2008 9:28 AM
Desmond? Desmond!
Forgive me this moment away from the nice new look of your area, to squeal about the Desmond chat.
Hooray for LOOOOOOOST.
Posted by: Desmond | April 24, 2008 9:29 AM
Star Jones wants privacy? Is that why she was on ET last night? She said the marriage was a mistake. Really, marrying a man whose sexuality was questionable was a mistake?
She was a lawyer, I hope she was smart enough to make him sign a prenup. Apparently, she was the sole bread winner in the family. Shocker!!
melissamac1...lol.

"She was a lawyer, I hope she was smart enough to make him sign a prenup."
Here's hoping she was as a better lawyer than tv host or husband-picker...
Posted by: byoolin | April 24, 2008 9:41 AM
Yeah, I just lost some respect for Denzel. It's America, pay your darn taxes like the rest of us.
And I still couldn't afford Posh's jeans at that "discount" price even if I wanted a pair.
Posted by: WDC 21113 | April 24, 2008 9:43 AM
Omg. I got about five million press releases (ok, 3 or 4) from FHM about that poll. (Perhaps Liz got the same press releases.) I really, very much did not care.
Posted by: h3 | April 24, 2008 9:58 AM
Posh's jeans: maybe offering them in sizes ranging from 0 to 2 wasn't such a great idea after all.
Megan who? I recognize about 4 names from that list of hottest women. I suppose that means I didn't make the list again this year. Drat.
Posted by: e | April 24, 2008 10:17 AM
Considering that Amy Winehouse is capable of drunken assaults on two men, I believe she IS a top model. If she assaulted them with a cell phone, she's the new Naomi Campbell!

"Wesley is like a tree--a mighty oak. He stands for so many, 'like a tree, planted by streams of water with leaves that do not wither,' Many who know him have witnessed the fruit of his labors, have sat in his shade and even been protected by his presence."
No, Denzel, Wesley is more like a maple, whose root system has penetrated the sewer system in order to get a source of free water.
Posted by: MoCoSnarky | April 24, 2008 10:33 AM
Wesley might be 'like a tree,' Denzel, but after reading your purple prose I cannot help but believe that you are, like, a sap.
Posted by: byoolin | April 24, 2008 10:39 AM
Oh, byoo... that's good.
Posted by: Liz Kelly | April 24, 2008 10:51 AM
What's up with Juliette Lewis trying to look like Bret Michaels?

Free Wesley!

an open appeal to amy winehouse:
good lord,woman! i know you are a brit, but get your damned teeth fixed!!! god, what a horror!
Posted by: wats | April 24, 2008 11:05 AM
(if there's a poll on when he comes out of the closet I'm in)
Um, did you mean to write "if there's a poll on when he comes out of the closet, then I'm in?" Or are you making an announcement of your own here?
Posted by: arlington, va | April 24, 2008 11:07 AM
I recognized all but one. Oops, did it again...
Posted by: omni | April 24, 2008 11:08 AM
Oh snap, I missed that. I meant "then, I'm in". No announcement.
Posted by: petal | April 24, 2008 11:16 AM
If I could fine a few other interested people who were willing to ante up a couple of buck$, I'd start a Ghoul Pool on Amy Winehouse.
I'm wondering if Denzel's labored metaphor of sitting in Snipes' shade is code for gettign the Danza Slap.
It's time to do my best Stephen Hunter impersonation: I'm going to get a virtual gun and go Snipes Hunting.

So....when you say you're going to "chat" with Henry Ian Cusick tomorrow, what does that mean???
A live chat? Can ask him questions? Can we ask you to ask him questions?
I'm sooo excited but a wee bit 'Lost'...
How do these things usually go?
Thanks!
Posted by: Mi | April 24, 2008 11:52 AM
"The show will "deliver a slice of [Lopez's] life that audiences have never seen before, "
I suppose that means we'll never see any booty shots.
*************************************
TLC President Angela Shapiro-Mathes said,
"Jennifer is unbelievably passionate about life and will be an incredible role model for our audience."
Does TLC now stand for The Lopez Channel?
Pardon me while I impersonate an E-Trade Baby. There goes the keyboard......
Posted by: Sasquatch | April 24, 2008 11:52 AM
Apparently the name change from Megan Ugli is paying dividends.

"No, Denzel, Wesley is more like a maple, whose root system has penetrated the sewer system in order to get a source of free water."
I thought it were willows that are most guilty of this.
I'd think that a letter from a judge-assasin's son might not be the best help for Wesley.
Posted by: | April 24, 2008 12:12 PM
I think Jennifer Aniston had a nose job. Just a tweak -- her nose was very straight and even in the old pictures. In the new pix, it has a rounder shape and goes up at the end. The nostrils look rounder.
whatever, it looks great.
Posted by: PJ | April 24, 2008 12:16 PM
That is one SCARY looking dude with AW on her bender. She musta 'luded out just to consent to be seen with him in public.
Posted by: Stick | April 24, 2008 12:31 PM
Ok, here's the thing I don't get about Celebrities and plastic surgery. Do they really think we don't know? Do they think we believe there are that many deviated septums out there and they all just *happen* to be in famous noses?
Posted by: jes | April 24, 2008 12:36 PM
Nice headband! Is Juliette Lewis trying to be Axl Rose or Mike Reno from Loverboy?
I did a double-take at "Denzel Washington and Woody Harrelson sing" -- dear God, no!
Posted by: td | April 24, 2008 1:18 PM
Star Jones files for divorce! Stop the presses! We all saw that coming ages ago when she engaged in the two dead giveaways of a celeb breakup: saying the relationship is fine and changing her name back.
Why does Amy Wine-o keep getting attention/press? Enabling the behavior ... ?
Perhaps the fate of Posh's ill-conceived clothing line will serve as a cautionary tale to other celebs who think they can be designers just because they, you know, wear clothes?
Posted by: Californian | April 24, 2008 1:32 PM
for those not reading the Miley Cyrus thread...
Colin Firth is on tonight's Daily Show. Thought the Pride & Prejudice fans would like to know ;)
Posted by: Chasmosaur | April 24, 2008 2:31 PM
Colin Firth, I'm so there.
Posted by: petal | April 24, 2008 2:59 PM
Actually, this is the best look Juliette Lewis has had for awhile. Normally, she's downright scary. Worse than Spears, Moss, and Winehouse put together.
Posted by: | April 24, 2008 4:46 PM
Colin Firth. We SO need a gratuitous Colin Firth picture 'bout now.
Posted by: alex | April 24, 2008 4:48 PM
In whose world is Amy a role-model- smacked/cracked out fiends, perhaps?
Oh Star, I'm sure so many people told you so. Hopefully you got dude to sign a good pre-nup before you got hitched ...
And I think I echo most sentiments about Wesley Snipes- pay your taxes, jacka**. If you can't pay them all upfront, the IRS will let you do a payment plan- that's what the hubby and I are doing.

You know, there aren't too many guys who can make the name "Henry" sound sexy, but Henry Ian Cusick pulls it off.
Posted by: | April 24, 2008 4:53 PM
Henry Fonda, anyone?
Posted by: | April 24, 2008 5:16 PM
OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!
I hate it when that happens!
Posted by: Henry Ian Cusick pulls it off. | April 24, 2008 5:44 PM
why cant people leave Ms. Jones alone or does misery love company so much we forget how to have compassion!!!! I think Star is beautiful and maybe she just gave her heart to the wrong man......

Those Amy Winehouse photos just get better and better, don't they?
It's as though she's trying to prepare us for the inevitable shots taken at the morgue.
