The Dead and M.I.A. Returning to Lost?

Lost fans know that when you have a show that switches between time lines faster than Sawyer can come up with a nickname, there's a chance that previously dead characters will resurface. Currently dead or missing characters include:

Ana-Lucia
Boone
Charlie
Charlotte
Daniel
Eko
Libby
Michael
Nikki
Paolo
Shannon

As Lost prepares for its sixth and final season in 2010, rumors are buzzing about who, if anybody will be brought back. The gossip has spilled over to Twitter (surprise, surprise) and apparently earlier today, someone tweeted that Charlie, Claire and Shannon will all be returning. The statements have not been confirmed by the actors' reps or Lost producers and now this particular Twitter account is lost to the cyberspace abyss.

I've read that Dominic Monaghan is still on good terms with Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, so I would imagine that a spot in an episode or two wouldn't be entirely out of the question. I would love to see him return but I feel like there's already closure if he doesn't. Claire on the other hand; where in the island time is she? That mystery certainly needs resolution. I can't wait to see how it ends!

New Moon: More Like Full Moon as Crazy as Peeps Are Acting



I watched the MTV Movie Awards last week and it was all about Twilight. Peeps are b-a-n-a-n-a-s (thank you Gwen Stefani) for Twilight. I haven't seen people this gaga for fangs and blood since Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt were in Interview with a Vampire.

I saw Twilight (not in the theater) and I didn't see what was the big deal. I thought it was OK but not lose my mind good. This trailer for New Moon has me thinking that the second movie might be better than the first.

I've also recently read the first chapters of the Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse on Stephanie Meyer's website. I won't say I'm hooked but certainly interested. I'm putting the series on my reading list anyway.

Has anyone else noticed that US Americans are fools for some vampires lately? True Blood anyone? Or maybe The Vampire Diaries debuting on the C-Dub (CW) this fall? Vampires are so alluring and peeps are "thirsty" for more. Here's hoping we'll be able to sink our teeth into New Moon, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries. Those are just terrible jokes.

The Hobbit Split In Two



It's official, The Hobbit will be split into two films. In the interview clip above, director Guillermo del Toro discusses the split with MTV. He doesn't say exactly where the divide will come but I have to believe it will be just after Bilbo gets the ring from Gollum. (Sorry if that's a spoiler alert)

I'm super excited about this film(s)! My mom read The Hobbit to me when I was in 5th grade and I've been a fan ever since. The book definitely deserves the expansion of two movies and I think del Toro will do a fantastic job directing. He's responsible for Pan's Labyrinth (another film I adore) and the Hellboy movies. If you've seen either of these movies, you know that they were visually stunning with an other-worldly quality. I expect no less for The Hobbit as it is what I consider Tolkien's masterpiece and one of my first literary loves.

Zack Morris Stays Up Past His Bedtime



This appearance by Zack Morris on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon might be one of the most awesomest Saved By the Bell TV spots I've seen since Jessie Spanno's caffeine pill freak-out. I was a mere middle-schooler during the Saved By the Bell years and I totally crushed on Zack. Slater and his pleated pants can stay in Mr. Belding's detention.

Confession: I watch Saved By the Bell on TBS every morning while I eat my breakfast before work. What better way to begin the day! Thanks to JH for showing me this video!
