rooney10 writes "The blog Scott's Spotlight talks to Chuck star Zachary Levi about being a fan of Lost.
Here is an excerpt:
It’s not surprising to hear Levi profess his Lost fandom considering that in an episode last season, Chuck referenced Lost’s Oceanic Flight 815. “I literally peed my pants with glee when I read the script,” Levi joked. “I was like, ‘Thank you. I’m so glad we’re making a reference to it.’ I just love [ Lost] so much.” Read the full article here. "

| Top Five Worst TV Romances |

Ok, I'll admit I have a tendency to get caught up in TV romances. If the chemistry is there and the acting and writing is good, there's nothing like seeing two great characters get together. Even those dragged out on-again-off-agains can be fun to watch when done right. But let's face it; not all TV relationships are great. In fact, Katey and I came up with a handful of ones that were downright terrible.
Some relationships are doomed for failure. Take Andy and Angela in The Office. I don't think the writers ever intended for us to fall head over heels for these two. And given the way the last season ended (with Angela and Dwight getting busy in the almost-deserted office shortly after Angela accepted Andy's marriage proposal), I'm guessing that it's only a matter of time before things fall apart for Andangela (yeah, that's the best I could come up with). Anyway, looking back at some of our favorite shows, we came up with our five least favorite romances. These are the ones that weren't supposed to be humorous side-plots. The ones we thought the writers really wanted us to buy into and instead, made us cringe everytime they were on screen together. Without further introduction, here they are:

If you are, as I am, hungry for Lost tidbits, go for it. It's interesting stuff! It doesn't ruin the story for me at all. It just makes it a little easier waiting for February.

| Interview: Michelle Rodriguez Of Battle In Seattle |

missteriosa writes "By Katey Rich: 2008-09-19 22:51:46
Fair warning: Michelle Rodriguez is about to get political. You can't really blame her, given that the movie she's out promoting, Battle in Seattle, is a pretty thrilling drama as well as a wholesale attack on the main group that governs our world economy, the World Trade Organization. In Battle in Seattle, which dramatizes the four days of protests that surrounded the WTO conference in 1999, Rodriguez plays Lou, a veteran protester who fits right in with the actresses past "tough girl" roles.
Unafraid to talk about pretty much anything, Rodriguez talked about the violence she saw growing up in Jersey City, her many lives "like a cat," and her own real-life protest experience. Oh, and she's got plans for writing a children's movie that she describes as Jurassic Park meets Goonies. Yeah, and you thought she was just the badass from Lost.

Lardo writes "About this Video
Not many people think of Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta as a hotbed for
Hollywood talent, but that didn't stop Evangeline Lilly from rising to
the top - and taking an unconventional path along the way. Evangeline
grew up all over the world traveling with her Christian missionary
family, before settling down in Vancouver to study International
Relations at UBC. A chance encounter led to a modeling career, which in
turn created a few acting opportunities and in 2004 Evangeline landed
the gig of a lifetime, starring as 'Kate' on J.J. Abrams epic TV
series, "Lost". Since then there's been no looking back. Kate has been
nominated for a Golden Globe and is now starring opposite John
Malkovich in the new film "Afterwards".
