I think they need to pay to get this cast drivers. 

ABC announced that production begins Aug. 7 in Hawaii on the upcoming third season of its hit SF series Lost, which returns on Oct. 4 and will air Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT. ABC also offered a new synopsis of what to expect: Jack (Matthew Fox), Kate (Evangeline Lilly) and Sawyer (Josh Holloway) open the season in captivity as prisoners of the Others. Just who these Others are and what they want are primary questions season three will explore. Michael Emerson joins the regular cast in his ongoing role as Henry Gale, leader of the Others. Romance looms on the horizon as Jack’s interests veer towards a mysterious new woman, whose motives may be questionable. Sun (Yunjin Kim) and Jin (Daniel Dae Kim) will continue to celebrate their pregnancy, but is the child really Jin’s? Locke (Terry O’Quinn) and Sayid (Naveen Andrews) will band together with some of the other survivors and journey across the island in an attempt to free Jack, Kate and Sawyer. Charlie (Dominic Monaghan) will attempt to return into the good graces of Claire (Emilie de Ravin) and her baby, Aaron, but can he be trusted to stay clean and sober? The fates of Locke, Desmond (Henry Ian Cusick) and Mr. Eko (Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje) in the aftermath of the implosion of the hatch are answered. Will Penny Widmore find the island and her long, lost love, Desmond, and can the survivors find a way to interact with the outside world?

OMG I can not wait for this show to come back. Granted I am not looking forward to the midseason hiatus. 

Remember the hint I dropped in this week’s Ask Ausiello about an actress from a "recently axed TV show" vying for that third Lost role? Well, I was referring to Related’s Kiele Sanchez — not Eliza Dushku, as 90 percent of you had guessed/hoped. I’m telling you this now because it looks like Ms. Sanchez closed the deal late Friday, although I have yet to receive an official confirmation from ABC. I’ll have more on this developing story in this Wednesday’s AA.

I think I was the only person who loved Related. 

The bonus babies Don’t count on "Lost" stars Matthew Fox and Josh Hol loway exchanging holiday cards anytime soon. According to In Touch magazine, fellow cast members of the hit ABC drama are consider ing an "intervention" to heal the breach between Fox and Holloway, which apparently started when Holloway learned that Fox got a $250,000 bonus from producers (Holloway, apparently, was stiffed).The once-close buddies, who both earn $80,000-an-episode, "no longer mix socially and nearly came to blows on the set," an insider tells In Touch. "They’re both great guys, but Matt’s jealous of Josh’s popularity, and Josh is jealous of Matt’s big bonus."Maturity, apparently, is at a premium in Hollywood. But big egos? Not so much

Starr Report

I side with Josh Holloway on this one. I watch more for him than I do Matthew Fox. This is like the Friend’s cast you need to pay them the same amount
