Success on ‘Lost’ brings bit of chaos

Michael Emerson's life remained relatively quiet after he earned an Emmy nomination last year for his enthralling interpretation of Benjamin Linus on "Lost." But Emerson's popularity is soaring after a stellar season and yet another best supporting actor nomination yesterday.



"Last year there wasn't any hubbub about it; there was no media," he said from New York. "This year it was a three-ring circus at my house. At one point this morning I had two competing television crews in my humble living room. TV Guide was packing up and 'Access Hollywood' was setting up, and I had the Associated Press on the phone. And I had to be in a cab at noon if I was going to get to the airport safely. It was a bit zany."

Lost: How a Certain TV Mega-Hunk Stole My Identity

When you look like actor Josh Holloway (tall, blond, chiseled face, perfect biceps, and cut-up abs) and you’re considered to be the hot guy in the TV series Lost, life can be pretty sweet. But when you’re Josh Holloway (scrawny, brown, puffy hair, glasses)—also an actor—you’ve apparently got a lot of explaining to do. Holloway does just that with Lost: How a Certain TV Mega-Hunk Stole My Identity, a show in which he discusses the hardships of being him. Holloway did consider changing his name to Josh Joshoway, but then he’d lose out on all the perks: more auditions, reservations at fancy restaurants, and actually having dates (although it quickly turns into a “Who are you again?” situation). “I think there’s more than enough room in this world for the two of us to peacefully co-exist,” he says. “And I really hope, one day, he and I can go to coffee and talk about that.” DNA totally messed with the wrong man.

Evangeline Lilly " I'm like a man - you know, 'I can do anything'

"The only reason I was going for auditions when I won the role of Kate in Lost was an exercise in self-exploration," she said. "But I'm like a man - you know, 'I can do anything.'

"At 14 I thought I might one day be an actress. But by 18 I wanted to be a missionary. Acting as a career was just a blip on the radar."

The 28-year-old also confessed that her Lost co-stars were unhappy that she had landed a role on the hit show with relatively little acting experience, Digital Spy reports

She explained: "They were furious. You could see it written all over their faces. They were thinking, 'I've done all this work to get to this place and here you are with nothing to draw on, standing at the same place as me.'"

Evangeline Lilly's 'Lost' skin

Evangeline Lilly says starring in 'Lost' ruined her skin. The 29-year-old actress " who plays Kate Austen in the hit US TV show " admits she started surfing in the rough sea to cope with stress of filming, but the salty water soon took its toll on her complexion.

She said: "Last season of the show I surfed constantly, which was cathartic for me, but the sun and salt water wreaked havoc with my skin so, for the first time in my life, I had skin problems. I ended up wearing a full face of pink pure zinc to protect it. I looked ridiculous with this bright pink face but I just wanted to surf!"



Evangeline has also revealed the secret to her slim figure " indoor aerobics. She added to Britain's InStyle magazine: "I dance around my living room to cheesy 80s aerobics music until I'm sweating really hard! "I also walk a lot.

Walking is a very underestimated exercise in North America. It's all run hard, lift weights and push your body, but walking is wonderful for elongating the body and posture."

Lost's Fox May Play Reformed Assassin

Money talks in Hollywood.

By Sunday, Wanted, a movie adapted from a graphic novel about cold-blooded assassins, had raked in $51 million during its opening weekend. On Monday, Lost star Matthew Fox was talking to Warner Bros. about starring in Billy Smoke, a movie based on ... a graphic novel about cold-blooded assassins.



Fox is seriously considering the project, which is adapted from the Oni Press comic about a hit man who decides to rid the world of his own kind after he realizes the error of his ways, Variety reports.

It's easy to picture Fox, who played the brooding Racer X in Speed-Racer earlier this summer, grimacing his way through the role.

Written by B. Clay Moore and illustrated by Eric Kim, Billy Smoke will not be published until next year, but movie execs got a sneak peek and evidently envisioned Fox as the lead.
