Extreme Makeover's Ty Pennington (inset) and the Thomas family.
When he's not screaming into a bullhorn, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition host Ty Pennington actually has a lot more to say than "Let's dooooo it!" In fact, he happily babbled on about more than just ABC's acclaimed home- (and thus life-) improvement show when TVGuide.com asked him about this week's two-hour 9/11-themed episode, airing at an earlier time, 7 pm/ET. Turns out, when Ty's not saving America one house at a time, he's taking on the publishing world, building one-of-a-kind pieces for his store, and shining light on other people who are changing their own neighborhoods. Pennington's plans sound exhausting, but luckily he really is as energetic as he seems on camera, and his hard work not only helps others but keeps him happy.

Emilie de Ravin, Lost
Tonight on ABC's Lost (9 pm/ET), a crisis involving baby Aaron leads Claire to delve into the unsolved mystery of exactly what happened during her Season 1 kidnapping at the hands of ghoulish Ethan Rom (aka the Other man). TVGuide.com spoke to Aussie beauty Emilie de Ravin about Claire's new adventure, her "hard-to-handle" Lost leading man and her frighteningly fun new role.
TVGuide.com: I have to wonder, having often flitted between Australia and Los Angeles yourself, was it eerie to do a show about a doomed Oz-L.A. flight?Emilie de Ravin: Yeah, kinda! I never really thought about it too much, though. I think it was more odd that Claire was the only Australian survivor. [Laughs]

Catherine Bell
JAG knockout Catherine Bell recently shot a guest-star appearance for CBS' Threshold as a genetic engineer who, sources say, could become a recurring character should the sci-fi thriller receive a (much-deserved) full-season pickup. What's more, executive producer Brannon Braga revealed in a conference call with the press that Red Team member Lucas will get an as-yet-uncast fiancée and Lost creepazoid William Mapother's alien infectee from the series premiere will come back "in a very, very unexpected way."

That question has Lost fans feeling a bit lost. We know that the creepy character, played by Tom Cruise's real-life cousin William Mapother, wasn't on the downed plane's original manifest. And we know that he wants Claire's unborn baby. But why? Mapother is sworn to secrecy. All the show's producers will tell us is that his name, Ethan Rom, is an anagram for "Other Man." Great, more mysteries! So until the show returns Jan. 5 on ABC, here are the Top Four theories on just who the slimy fellow might be.
1. Ethan is the devil.If you subscribe to the "they are in purgatory" theory, then he is coming to claim the already dead child's soul.
2. Ethan is an evil alien shape-shifter.
First, he took the form of the raging polar bear. Now he's human and, for some strange reason, he must destroy the baby and keep anything good from prospering on the island.
3. Ethan is Alex, Danielle Rousseau's lost son.
