ook who has found herself back on Lost. Michelle Rodriguez, who famously and hastily was written off of the ABC serial not long after she was pinched in Hawaii on DUI charges, will resurface in the new season's second episode, sources confirm for TVGuide.com.
Lest you truly believe in the unbelievable, though, it should be noted that M-Rod's Ana Lucia will appear only in the one episode, possibly as part of a Hurley-centric flashback (as EW's Ausiello speculates).
Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros (who played Libby to her Ana Lucia) were arrested in Oahu on Dec. 1, 2006, on suspicion of driving their respective cars under the influence of alcohol in Oahu. Though both of their Lost characters were dispatched later in the TV season, show producers maintained that Ana Lucia was always a short-term role.

Lost: Where Does Desmond Fit In? (Spoiler-ish)
As season 5 of Lost approaches (who am I kidding, we're still months away from the season 5 premiere), there are questions to be pondered. Because TV is a business, and actors sign contracts, not everything about Lost can be kept a secret. We know, for a fact now, that Henry Ian Cusick will return for season 5 as Desmond Hume. The last time we saw Desmond he was reunited (finally!) with his true love Penelope Widmore. The way season 4 ended makes the return of Desmond a mystery. There is no easy return for the man, no slam dunk opening. Where, then, will he fit in? At this point, we can only guess.
This topic may appear to be a tad bit random, considering how many moons we are from our next new Lost episode. However, the impetus for the discussion came from TV Guide, who have just released a tiny spoiler. According to Matt Mittovich, a source from the Lost set is saying that Cusick is indeed a cast member on season 5. There is an important distinction between a recurring guest spot and a regular role. If Cusick is indeed in the credits as a regular character, that means Desmond will likely be brought back into the fold sooner rather than later. This could possibly give us some insight into how the season 5 story will go.
Since all one can do is speculate, I'm going to go to town: Desmond will help the Oceanic 6 return to the island. It doesn't make a lot of sense for Desmond to show up in the island's story line, back with Sawyer and Locke and Juliet. I'm guessing that he will be brought back into the fold by Jack and Locke, possibly with some help from Sayid. Desmond and Penny probably retired to somewhere in Europe, which is where Sayid has been executing people for Ben.
Now, why would Desmond help the Oceanic 6, especially given Ben's possible desire to kill Penny? I can't answer that, but Ben, being the genius that he is, could find a way. As far as I know, Ben hasn't told anyone about his intentions for Penny. Perhaps he can kill two birds with one stone, maybe kidnapping Penny and leveraging that into forcing Desmond to captain the Oceanic 6's trip back to the island.
However Desmond returns, I imagine it won't be on happy terms. There's no way he leaves the mainland and Penny if things remain peachy keen in his life. Penny will have to disappear, or he'll have to be given some sort of ugly ultimatum. No matter how Desmond returns to the Lost story, it will almost certainly involve Penny, Charles Widmore and Ben.
What do you think? How will Desmond return to Lost?

Clues To Lost Season Five: Who's Back, Who's Dead And What Does It Mean?
Although season five of Lost is still a little over four months away, the online speculation and clue-wrangling has already started. The latest piece of evidence: an interview with Francoise Chau, who plays the notorious one armed man, Dr. Candle. We decided to round up all the theories and leaked messages over the last few weeks, and combine them to try and make sense of the show's penultimate season. Spoilers ahead.
First and Foremost, What's The Status Of All The Characters:
On The Disappeared Island:
Juliet, Charlotte, Locke, Miles and Sawyer
Off The Island:
Walt, Ben, Jack, Kate, Sayid, Desmond, Hurley and Sun
Don't Know If They Are Alive Or Dead:
Locke (as well, because he's dead in the future), Claire, Michael, Daniel and Jin
There Will Be No More Flash Forwards and Flash Backs
At Comic Con and in many other interviews both Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse have stated that there won't be any flash forwards or flashbacks. Instead, there'll be an unspecified new format, reminiscent of the episode "Ji Yeon." This season will tie all the strings together.
Updated:
Sorry the Charlie info was a bad tip on my part, I got that mis-information in a jumbled rumor. The correct spoiler rumor is from Dark UFO (many apologies in the world of spoilers some times rumors run wild). This is still unverified rumor but it was Daniel Dae Kim spotted on the island of Hawaii NOT Charlie.
Jin May Be Back:
As opposed to the false tip I followed it looks like Jin has been allegedly spotted on the island of Hawaii NOT Charlie. Daniel Dae Kim was spied by Dark UFO spies and they believe that he's filming and will be in many important moments in the future season. Sorry about the confusion.
Which Carlton Cuse Confirms to IF Magazine:
“The people that are off the island, the island seems to be drawing them back and Ben [Michael Emerson] makes it clear they need to go back to the island,” says Cuse. “So hopefully that’s a lot of what you’ll see of in Season 5 — the journey of how those six return to the island.”
Dr. Candle, Tells Us Nothing But Gives Us Hope For Some Answers:
In an interview with lostspoilers.org, Francois Chau, the famous Dr. Candle from all of the Dharma how-to videos, explains that he knows a bunch, but isn't saying anything. He knows who the crying baby is in the video shown at Comic-Con, for instance. But he does give us hope of further time travel and island moving explanations. Chau explains that we've only seen little bits of the many Orchid videos he filmed, and we should be learning a lot more. Also some of the orientation flicks will have other Losties cameoing. (I assume old Dharma friends.)
Welcome Newbies:
More bad characters mean more meddling and evil-doing. Huzzah! We are desperate for a new batch of baddies. Truth be told, I growing tired of the slow-burn of storylines about Jack's dad. I welcome Ilanna and Caesar. They both sound dangerous and well equipped at killing characters off. But my guess is, they'll probably turn out to be good guys, since this information was leaked so early. Also these two new characters (as well as the free-for-all final episode) seems to throw off the theory that there needs to be a certain number of people on the island, or bad things happen. Or maybe that's why Locke ends up dead: because the Oceanic Six left.
Will This Be The Year Jack Grows A Pair?:
The name of the first episode of season five has been revealed as "Because You Left." Which makes me crazy happy, because maybe for the first time Jack will sack up and get some self awareness and cojones. Sure, can be the take-charge leader guy, but usually his decisions are clouded with insecurity and arrogance. He's got to learn to sit and think, and then take the big step. I hope that calling out Jack hard core, and blaming him for everything that went wrong, will knock some sense into him. That doesn't mean I think the various messes are all his fault, but I don't mind him getting blamed for it all. It may just shake him the right way.
What's With All The Bad Apples On That Boat?:
The one thing I'm most excited about are both producers promised that they would be further explaining the role of everyone on the freighter. I'm dying to know more about Miles and the crazy Hawaiian shirt pilot." Please give me more ghost hunters and lost parents of angry red-heads. But if they kill off Daniel, I'll quit you, Lost.

Josh Holloway Gets Some Tail
Sawyer would definitely have something snide to say about this.
Lost star Josh Holloway has been spending his summer off the Island shooting the movie Stay Cool in L.A. with Winona Ryder and Hilary Duff.
Yes, we think the tats, albeit fake, are pretty cool. But this 'do! WTF? It's as if Tommy Lee hooked up with Pebbles Flintstone and this is what popped out. Yeah, we know it's probably for the flick, but still.
So what do you all think about Holloway's hair? Is it the start of a new trend...or simply a lost cause?

It Isn't A Coincidence That Sawyer Stars With A Hobbit
Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - When we last saw actor Josh Holloway, who plays the wise-cracking, name-calling Sawyer on ABC's "Lost," he was swimming ashore onto the island after jumping out of a helicopter to help save his friends. Never mind that when he jumped out of the helicopter he had on a shirt and then when he swam ashore he was shirtless - just consider it a perk of watching "Lost."
Celebrity News Service has it on good authority the Sawyer will spend the first two episodes of "Lost's" fifth season without his shirt. Once again, consider that a benefit if you are addicted to the show.
Holloway reported that he spent his hiatus from the tropical island filming a movie called "Stay Cool." In the flick, he plays a tattoo artist named Wino and said it was a great change from playing Sawyer. The film also stars Winona Ryder, Jon Cryer, Sean Astin and Hilary Duff.
CNS was excited to hear that Holloway appeared in the movie with Astin, who played Samwise Gamgee in the movie "The Lord of the Rings." Our own Dominic Monaghan (yes, that would be "Lost's Charlie Pace) played Merry In "The Lord of the Rings" so a definite connection has been spotted.
And while that may seem like a coincidence to most people, "Lost" fans know there is no such thing as a coincidence on the island -- or even off of it. That's like saying it was a coincidence that Hurley won the lottery with the same numbers that appear on the island.
So to sum it up: Sawyer's shirt has disappeared, the island has disappeared, Charlie is dead but has re-appeared and then disappeared, and now Astin and Monaghan (both former Hobbits) have starred with Holloway. Are you Lost? Don't worry, the island will figure it out.

Fox Brokers Lucrative New 'Lost' Deal
Actor Matthew Fox has reached a new pay deal with TV bosses, taking his "Lost" salary to $225,000 per episode.
The star's wage negotiations were first highlighted earlier this week, when Fox and his co-star Evangeline Lilly were rumored to be seeking a $70,000 pay rise to keep them on the hit drama.
But Fox has now signed a lucrative new contract with ABC Studios executives, putting him in the same pay bracket as the main stars of another successful ABC series, "Desperate Housewives."
The rest of the "Lost" cast are still reportedly trying to broker new wage deals, but representatives for ABC Studios and Fox have refused to comment.
