Lost
Season 6 of Lost kicks off in just a few short months and a poster for the final season drops some interesting clues.
ABC spokeswoman Erin Felentzer says the poster in question was created for Comic-Con and is not the official poster, which will be released later. Still, there are still plenty of clues we can analyze.
We've heard that many of the characters who fell victim to the island throughout the five seasons will return, but there is one person on the poster we're unsure about...

Hey everybody, Well its time for another installment from the set of the Bill Engvall Show. This week is a very special week for us. Cynthia Watros makes the first of three guest star appearances on our show. Cynthia plays Susan’s best friend since childhood and comes to visit her and the family. She plays a character named AJ and is a bit of a thorn in Bill’s side. She feels that Susan has given up on the fun things in life. AJ is a world traveler and does not have roots anywhere. She takes Susan salsa dancing and this starts to bother Bill. Not because he doesn’t want Susan going out with AJ, but because he realizes that maybe he and Susan are living in a bit of a rut. So Bill turns to his best friend Paul(Tim Meadows) to teach him how to salsa dance. This was one of the funniest scenes that I have been a part of. Tim Meadows is simply hysterical in this. It was really hard to keep a straight face as Tim taught me to dance. Bill Pearson ends up showing ...

There was a quiet spell following her dramatic exit from Lost, but Cynthia Watros' workload has gone from 0 to 60 in recent months. Tonight at 10 pm/ET, she stars opposite Eric Roberts in the second installment of NBC's Fear Itself anthology series, and later this summer, she'll surface on TBS' The Bill Engvall Show. TVGuide.com invited Watros to preview her new gigs as well as ponder future spooky appearances by Lost's Libby.
TVGuide.com: You've been keeping busy lately!Cynthia Watros: A little bit, yeah!
TVGuide.com: On the one hand, you're serving up some horror. On the other, you're doing comedy. Do you like striking that balance?Watros: I like to juggle both ends. It's always fun to make people laugh, and then make them afraid or cry at the same time.
TVGuide.com: In Fear Itself's "Spooked," you play a woman who hires Eric Roberts' P.I

Question: Will we see Cynthia Watros back on Lost this season?
Answer: No, but you will see her in TBS' The Bill Engvall Show. Sources confirm to me exclusively that Watros will play Nancy Travis' free-spirited friend in three episodes of the show's upcoming second season (debuting June 12).
Okay, that's all for this week. Actually, that's all for next week too. I'm taking a few days off next week to recover from Upfrontapalooza, so that means no Ask Ausiello next week. The good news? There'll still be lots going on in Ausholand (i.e. my vodcast, my Ausiello Report blog, etc.). And if you're r

NBC has recruited a long list of noted directors, actors and writers for its 13-episode suspense and horror anthology series Fear Itself. The series, produced by LionsGate and Industry Entertainment, will boast the work of award-winning horror directors John Landis (An American Werewolf in London), Darren Bousman (Saw II), Brad Anderson (The Machinist), Mary Harron (American Psycho), Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator) and Heroes' Ernest Dickerson. Superman Returns' Brandon Routh and Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss join Cynthia Watros (Lost), Eric Roberts (Heroes) and Larry Gilliard Jr. (The Wire), along with a boatload of other actors who will earn some screen time in one of the series' episodes. And just what kind of horrors can you expect? Landis' "A Nightmare in Lace" follows a bride who receives word on her wedding day that her groom is a serial killer, and Harron's "Community" features a young couple who find their dream home in the perfect neighborhood (until their neighbors start killing ...

Another Lost cast member is now in trouble with the local authorities. The Honolulu Advertiser reports that Daniel Dae Kim was arrested around 3 am Thursday, Oct. 25, on suspicion of drunken driving and was booked in a Honolulu Police station. Kim, released at 5:05 am, was escorted out of the station by two police officers but did not talk to reporters.Lost castaways are not new to run-ins with the law. Michelle Rodriguez and Cynthia Watros were both arrested in 2006 for DUI, while Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje was arrested in 2006 for disobeying a police officer.

Cynthia Watros by Bob D'Amico/ABC
OK, so technically, the ABC hit isn't bringing Cynthia Watros' short-lived character back from the dead. But Lost executive producer Carlton Cuse confirms to me exclusively that the actress will be playing Hurley's dearly departed sweetheart again this season for multiple episodes, presumably in more flashbacks."She'll be in enough of the show for us to fill in the missing pieces of her story," says Cuse. "We could not be more pleased. Cynthia is a smart and engaging actor, and [executive producer] Damon [Lindelof] and I have some very cool parts of her story left to tell."It's by pure chance that Emmy winner Watros was even available for the return engagement: Her fall pilot, The Rich Inner Life of Penelope Cloud, wasn't picked up, which left a spot open on her dance card. That's all I've got, folks — your turn. Are you as giddy about Watros' return as I am? And do you think her comeback proves this theory true? Sound off below! (And yes, this is the big casting news on an USW...

Question: Any chance Libby will show up in any of the remaining six episodes of Lost, or has that ship sailed for this season?
Answer: I think that ship has sailed this season. But speaking of Cynthia Watros, a friend of a friend's former roommate's boyfriend attended a taping of The Rich Inner Life of Penelope Cloud, Watros' new comedy pilot with Marisa Tomei, and he/she reports that Watros is playing a lesbian who once had an affair with Tomei's character. And if that's not enough to guarantee you a spot on the fall sked, I give up.

Question: Why is Lost trying to mimic 24 and kill off main characters every five minutes? I think it's stupid on 24, and I think it's even stupider on Lost. I find it insulting that shows think the only way we'll watch them is if they have huge explosions and sad deaths every episode. Then they have to outdo themselves and have two big explosions and three sad deaths. I like shows that are about the characters, like Lost. With them continually killing those characters off, I think that takes away from the show. We've lost four characters in only two seasons, and I wouldn't be surprised if they killed off a few more in the next episodes. I hope they'll take it easy for a while, and I hope the actors will be sure not to get in trouble with the law. ;)
Answer: Sigh. This time I couldn't disagree more. On shows like 24 and Lost, the very fact that almost every character is potentially expendable ratchets up the dramatic stakes and intensity. If you look at every character death as a
