Warning: Joining NBC's Celebrity Circus could be hazardous to your health. "On [other shows], they can break a nail," executive producer Matt Kunitz tells me. "On our show, you can break a bone." No kidding. So far, Christopher "My Fair Brady" Knight has cracked his arm while training for the six-episode series, supermodel Rachel Hunter has injured her neck, actress Stacey Dash (Clueless) has nearly broken two ribs, and singer Blu Cantrell is so bruised she has to cover up to avoid really awkward conversations. Suddenly, volunteering to join this show does not sound like a smart move. "Don't worry. It's crazy safe," I'm told.

Lost Dear Misters Lindelof and Cuse, In the future, could you please have some sympathy for a new mother who has to struggle to find the freeze button on my remote with one hand while holding the baby in the other? I mean, at least have some of the patient's info hidden on that spinal X ray. I personally think Gabriella's now-deceased pops could have been the elusive Alvar Hanso, but the X rays revealed nada excepting the hospital name, St. Francis M.C. West, and interestingly enough, the date Nov. 16, 2005. Wouldn't that have been after Flight 815 crash-landed on mystery island? But a name might have been nice, though the amazing confrontation between Jack and Mr. Degroot and the rest of the Others was well worth a little bit of
