What 'Lost' Donkey Wheel Do We Need To Turn To Make 'The Fray' Disappear? [Lost]

newVideoPlayer("/lost_promo_2.flv", 506, 423,""); Because when it comes to melodramatic Lost promos set to the essential catalogue of The Fray—the soundtrack of our lives, really—too much is never enough, we bring you the seventh Lost trailer, featuring some rearranged footage you've already seen and that song you love so much! (This one doesn't actually feature the band, though fret not: We understand they do crash land on the magically reappearing island, where they are swiftly put to work putting out a subpar Nickelback single every 108 minutes—or everything will explode!) In case you've forgotten where we've left off last season, giant, swooshing intertitles helpfully remind us that "6 WERE RESCUED...THE REST...WE HAVE NO F&*%@ING CLUE BUT HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET THAT SORTED OUT." Needless to say, we're so there—hairy-chested Jack or not. [Lost]

Striking Writers March On 'Desperate Housewives' Set [Disrupting The Housewives]

Earlier today, we'd expressed a now very naive-seeming wish that WGA members and the Companies they're protesting might find a way to get through the remainder of the strike without further incidents of unnecessary, cause-undermining violence. It is with considerable sadness that we note KTLA's story (video here or here) about a renegade band of Guild picketers, who, upon receiving word of an in-progress Desperate Housewives location shoot earlier today, marched on the set, hoping to disrupt filming. But when they found that peaceful picketing alone proved ineffective in achieving their chaos-sowing goals, they raided the house inside which star Eva Longoria was shooting a scene, taking the actress hostage. Unfortunately for Longoria, an ABC executive visiting the set refused to negotiate for her release, defiantly telling her Guild captors, "Go ahead and fucking kill her. You want Teri Hatcher, too? We're shutting down production tomorrow anyway, and we'd be happy to get out from underneath their contracts." Longoria, we fear, may never be heard from again.
