The baby boom continues in Hollywood this time in the form of Lost alum Evangeline Lilly because she and her boyfriend, Norman Kali, have welcomed a baby boy according to US Weekly.
No official announcement was made for Evangeline’s pregnancy but she was spotted with a pregnancy bump about a month ago and now she has already given birth to the boy. This is the first child for the couple who met on the set of Lost when he was working as a production assistant for the show.
Evangeline recently said she planned on taking a break from the business, here’s what she said “I’m definitely planning on taking a break for a little while, I consider acting a day job — it’s not my dream; it’s not my be-all, end-all.”
Congratulations to the couple, hopefully she finishes her break soon because I actually like her.

There’s nothing worse than when you’re watching a TV show and it either ends with a cliffhanger or the network cancel it and don’t air the remaining episodes. UGO have come up with a list of the 25 biggest cliffhangers that left us wondering what would be next. Here is the top 10.
10. The Pretender
It was bad enough that The Pretender found itself cancelled on a cliffhanger during its fourth season, before NBC pulled the plug on the final two of four TV movies designed to wrap up the series, themselves ending on cliffhangers regarding Jarod’s mother and his role in a prophecy and creation of the Centre.
09. The Sopranos
Hours upon hours of angry phone calls flooded cable headquarters the night The Sopranos ended, with many assuming their service had cut out rather than the long-running mob-drama simply cut to black in the middle of a tense climax. Did Tony live? Did he die? Why can’t Meadow park a car? And for the record, whatever happened to that Russian guy in the Pine Barrens?
08. Space: Above and Beyond
Well, that’s one way to go out. As long as you’re aware of your imminent cancellation, why not strand two characters behind enemy lines, gravely injure lead TC McQueen, and compromise Earth’s defense network on the brink of all-out war? Plans existed to address the cliffhanger in a second season, but ultimately went to waste.
07. Sliders
Granted the show had run long past its peak (particularly after moving to the Sci-Fi channel and losing 3/4 of its original cast), we’ll still never know the story’s end after show-runners deliberately installed the cliffhanger of Rembrandt injecting a Kromagg virus into himself and sliding off to face the enemy alone. Producers had hoped that the unresolved storyline would prompt a season renewal from the network heads, but to no avail. And hey, whatever happened to Arturo’s evil alternate double? Which one was the good one?
06. John Doe
Seeing as John Doe never saw a second season, the show’s producers were kind enough to answer a few of the lingering mysteries left by the finale. While it at seemed that John uncovered Digger as the head of the Phoenix Organization, a bait-and-switch would have exposed “Digger” as an impostor using facial reconstruction. Not only that, but John’s knowledge came from a near-death experience, during which “all the knowledge of the universe” is conferred upon the human brain.
05. Heroes
With the shenanigans of Robert Knepper and the mysterious carnival finally put to bed, Claire made the bold decision to dive from a ferris wheel before a cadre of cameras, effectively revealing the presence of superhumans to the world. This was all we’d ever see of volume six’s “Brave New World,” unless producer Tim Kring wraps up the series with a movie, or even graphic novel.
04. Nowhere Man
Oh hey, remember how we’ve spent the entire first season running along with Thomas Veil, trying to uncover the mystery of who erased his identity and what the real significance of his photograph was? Turns out he was a government operative brainwashed as part of an experiment and never even had a family in the first place. OR DID HE?! Oh well.
03. The Prisoner
Patrick McGoohan had never intended for The Prisoner to extend beyond six episodes, which made the series’ order for 17 increasingly bizarre and convoluted. The ending moments of finale “Fall Out” seemed to imply that even Six’s escape from the village was destined to repeat itself, with his own home part of the illusion precluding a recreation of the opening sequence.
02. Twin Peaks
Yay, we’ve solved Laura Palmer’s murder! Her father Leland did it, posessed by the spirit of Killer BOB!
What? The series ends with the aftermath of Cooper and Annie at the Black Lodge, with Killer BOB having posessed Cooper, smashing his head into a mirror while maniacally screaming “How’s Annie?!” And Fire Walk With Me is a prequel?! David Lynch help us, we’ll never get over this.
01. Lost
Everything. Ever. Why did the Island have a glowing light hole that could destroy the world? Why did that man turn into smoke? What was “The Tampa Job?” Why was Libby in a mental institution? Why couldn’t they have killed off Kate? Epilogues, character-driven storytelling and personal feelings aside, LOST shall forever remain the undisputed king of unresolved mysteries.
I would definitely add Veronica Mars and The Sarah Conner Chronicles to this list and I’m not surprised Lost was number 1. What would you add to the list? You can see the full 25 over at UGO.

If you’re looking for some of the best in television and are counting the days for your favorite show to come back for the next season, then feast your eyes upon this list.
I present: Ten Shows That You Should Watch Now, Because They’ve Already Ended. Pick up a few seasons on DVD or download these, because what else are you going to do while waiting for “True Blood” to come back on?!??
Arrested Development
This is the “duh” one on the list, because I reference it on the site here more than Pokemon, but I cannot emphasize this enough, watch this show. Yes, it’s dead and no amount of post mortem viewings can extend its short life, but simply put, this is a perfect show, and its early death at the hands of Fox might have actually saved it from going downhill at some point, which as it stands, it never does.
The problem with AD when it was on the air is that each episode requires you to have watched all the previous episodes to understand most of the inside jokes, and the entire show is practically inside jokes. This was especially hard to convey via a fifteen second television commercial, and so the show died.
It’s the story of a man trying to keep together his crazy socialite family after his father is sent to jail, and features the best writing in TV history, along with a cast 100% made up of memorable characters, even background players are noteworthy in their own right (Steve Holt!), and every line everyone says is practically a quotable classic. Let it be known, that this is my number one show of all time, and that nothing else even comes close.
So check it out, and be sure watch them in order. Once you start, I don’t think you’ll be able to stop.
The Wire
There are a great many HBO series I could put on this list, but most of them don’t translate very well to viewing in massive chunks. Trying to get through The Sopranos and Oz was EXHAUSTING as all are 60 minute episodes instead of the usual 42, and there are like, sixty of them.
The Wire is different. It’s equally lengthy, but it’s just so damn good it doesn’t matter. It’s the story of the drug game and its police counterpart in Baltimore, and is so well written and acted, it’s one of the only shows I’ve ever seen that doesn’t actually feel like a TV show, it just feels real.
Yes, some seasons are better than others, and it does start to veer off the deep end near the close of the series (hobo murder?), but it’s worthwhile throughout, and worth the long haul it takes to get to the end, as yes, you’ll spend more time with this show than you will with any of these others. But to me, it still stands as the best scripted drama I’ve ever seen.
Battlestar Galactica
Yeah, yeah, I know this sounds like the geekiest show I could ever possibly recommend, but trust me when I say it’s not. It’s just a really good action drama that HAPPENS to be set in space. I managed to get the two random asian girls who I lived with in NYC hooked on this show, when previously their TV viewing only extended to various Real Housewives installments. It’s just good TV.
It’s the story of a planet system ravaged by a machine race, some of whom are giant robots, and some of whom are perfectly engineered humans who could BE NEXT TO YOU RIGHT NOW! The Battlestar Galactica (it’s a ship) charts a course with the rest of the surviving human ships toward a legendary 13th planet somewhere in the galaxy called Earth. That’s when things start to get interesting.
The fun of the show comes from its central mysteries, what will happen when they find Earth, and who among the cast are actually evil robots. It’s enough to propel the series for four seasons (it does feel a bit lengthy eventually), but I will say I think the finale is satisfying enough to be worth the trip. But don’t get me started on Starbuck. You’ll see what I mean.
Lost
And speaking of finales, Lost‘s was only a few months ago, but it qualifies for this list without a doubt. In fact, I would argue that Lost is the best out of all these shows to watch on DVD, because when every single damn episode ends in a cliffhanger, the next one is just a click away. But be warned, this will also make this by far the most addictive show on this list.
I’ve always had a rule with Lost that has yet to be proven false. Watch the first four episodes and you won’t be able to stop. It gets that good, that quick, and yes, season one is the best, but the show as a whole is something that will be remembered in TV history for ages.
The Island is perhaps the greatest mystery in television, and the mini-mysteries that surround it are equally compelling. Pair that with a cast that grows to feel like family, and superb writing and acting, and you’ve got yourself a cultural icon.
Deadwood
I’ve already mentioned HBO shows when I talked about The Wire, but Deadwood is another one I feel is worth checking out. It’s only three seasons, as opposed to five or more for most other long running HBO shows.
It’s set in the Old West, and tells the mostly historically accurate tale of the town of Deadwood, where Wild Bill Hickock met his end and Al Swearengen ruled with an iron mustache. Timothy Olyphant is the star as the new sheriff in town, but Ian McShane’s Swearengen steals the show and is one of the most memorable villains (and eventually anti-heroes) you’ll come across in any of these shows.
Sometimes the pace can be a bit dull, and episodes can drag as can any hour long show on HBO, but ultimately I think it’s worth the trouble, and Deadwood is a genre series that does it better than all the rest.
Extras
I realize that the slow pace and dry humor of Ricky Gervais’ The Office may polarize some people, so I’m not explicitly recommending it here (but you should watch it anyway). Rather, I’m going with Extras, his second effort jammed full of celebrity cameos, in a good way. Still plenty of dry humor, but it’s more overtly funny than his usual stuff.
Gervais plays a film extra in season one, and on set he encounters a number of celebrities including Ben Stiller, Ian McKellen, Patrick Stewart, Daniel Radcliffe and more. Every episode has at least one celebrity in it, but their appearances are almost always self deprecating.Kate Winslet moaning about how she can’t win an Oscar, or Orlando Bloom being stunned that a woman isn’t into him are two of my favorites.
Season two follows Andy when he gets his own show, a low-brow parody of The Office, and it starts to mimick Gervais’ actual life a bit more. And after that? There is no after that. There are only twelve episodes of this show total, plus a Christmas special. You could knock it out in an afternoon if you really wanted to, but I’d recommend spreading it out a little more than that.
Firefly
Speaking of short lived, there is no more tragic story than the death of Firefly, Joss Whedon’s space western that was yet again, too good for Fox. But while Arrested Development was at least allowed a four episode arc to wrap-up, Firefly just was flat out cut in the middle, and the series just kind of ends midway through.
But never fear, the fan outcry was so great after the show’s demise, that the two thirds of a season was bolstered by the release of “Serenity”, the full-length feature that is the perfect bookend to the show. This is the only time I’m actually pairing a movie with a show in this list, but once you’re done you must watch it.
The cast becomes family, and the sci-fi universe is incredibly unique, and more importantly funny. You don’t see that very often in this genre. Unlike say, Lost, which is addicting after a handful of episodes, Firefly takes getting used to, and I didn’t particularly care for it until five or six episodes in. But after that, I’ve rewatched the series three or four times, and it’s among my favorites as you can see by its inclusion here.
Freaks and Geeks
Once upon a time before Judd Apatow’s name was overused in Hollywood, he worked on brilliant TV shows. Freaks and Geeks, the story of Michigan high schoolers in the eighties, some will argue is his best work, and I could be persuaded to agree.
The show launched the careers of Jason Segel, Seth Rogen and James Franco, and though it lasted only a season, is full of brilliant comedy and moving drama. It’s hour long format sometimes wears thin (I’m not a fan of comedies being an hour, it’s why I can’t watch Glee), but as the show is only a season, when it ends you’ll wish it had been even longer.
Undeclared
This segues right into Undeclared, Apatow’s next show when NBC killed his first. But this time Fox didn’t even wait around to the end, as Undeclared ends mid-season a-la-Firefly.
It’s the story of a group of college freshman adjusting to life at school, and I personally prefer it to Freaks and Geeks as each and every episode is pure hilarity. It has Segel and Rogen as well, but is also where Jay Baruchel and Sons of Anarchy‘s Charlie Hunnan got their start. After seeing this show where he plays a British ladies man, I never thought his next role would be as a hardcore American biker.
It’s just so well written, it’s no wonder why Apatow made the jump to writing classic movies like “The 40 Year Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up” after this. But I would trade all those if Undeclared was allowed to run for a few more seasons.
Dollhouse
At long last, Fox finally learned its lesson about axing shows, which as you can see, killed four of the ten on this list prematurely. Somehow, for Whedon’s latest effort, they felt pity and gave Dollhouse a second season, it’s long enough, and makes the show a perfect and abridged work of genius, and something unlike anything else on television.
The show starts off like a procedural, and I hated it. “Dolls” are imprinted with personalities and sent out on various jobs. The star, Echo, might be a hostage negotiator, an assassin or a sex slave on any given day, and each week she’d undergo a different personality swap.
But something happened, and midway through season one, the show realized it was something bigger than a run of the mill Alias/CSI wannabe, and started dealing with overarching plotlines and complex issues of morality and science. When I say it’s one of the smartest shows ever written, I’m not exaggerating, and I’m recommending it here because not many other people appreciate it as much as they should.
What shows are you watching now that they’re no longer in production? Sound off in the comments below!

Over the years there has been some great television couples on our screens, here is a list that TV.com think is the best television couples of all time.
Jonathan and Jennifer Hart , Hart to Hart
As the Harts, Robert Wagner and Stephanie Powers have just the right chemistry, the Nick and Nora Charles of television. They are a fun-loving, filthy rich couple who like to solve crimes in between jet-setting all over the world.
Mac and Sally McMillian , McMillian & Wife
San Francisco attorney Stewart “Mac” McMillan (Rock Hudson) is named Commissioner of the San Francisco Police Department, and along with his sharp-witted, but somewhat kooky, wife Sally (Susan Saint James), Mac manages to solve some of the city’s most baffling crimes. A favorite of the classic Sunday night mysteries.
Mike and Carol Brady , The Brady Bunch
Robert Reed and Florence Henderson brought as much spark to the wholesome Brady couple as was possibly allowed on TV in the 1960s. Kudos for making us believe Mike and Carol would stay together so long with all those kids.
Lucy and Ricky Ricardo , I Love Lucy
Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz are definitely one of the most indelible TV couples of all time. One wonders why Ricky didn’t strangle Lucy for all her screw-ups, but that’s what made them so lovable.
Sam Malone and Diane Chambers , Cheers
The completely mismatched Sam (Ted Danson) and Diane (Shelley Long) probably never had a chance in hell of staying together — she is prim and proper, he is a former baseball star-turned-bar owner — but it is sure fun watching them try to make it work. Danson and Long have never been better than when they are bickering as Sam and Diane.
Roseanne and Dan Conner , Roseanne
Roseanne (Roseanne Barr) and her stalwart hubby Dan (John Goodman) showed us a real blue-collar marriage, full of ups and downs but lots of love.
Rachel Green and Ross Geller , Friends
Never did we want two people to get together more than Ross (David Schwimmer) and Rachel (Jennifer Aniston). He’s loved her since they were in high school, and she finally realizes, after many misfires, that he is her soul mate.
Cliff and Claire Huxtable , The Cosby Show
Claire (Phylicia Rashad) and Cliff (Bill Cosby) represent one of the hippest married TV couples of all time, juggling successful careers with raising their five kids. And eating Jello pudding… just kidding.
Will Truman and Grace Adler , Will & Grace
They aren’t an official couple per se, but Will (Eric McCormack) and Grace (Debra Messing) are still roommates… and soul mates. They definitely go down in the annals of best TV couples.
Buffy and Angel , Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Before Edward and Bella, there was Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Angel (David Boreanaz). Buffy is a sworn vampire hunter, but she can’t kill the one vampire who has ever understood her. At least he tries to be a good vampire.
Homer and Marge Simpson , The Simpsons
One wonders how Marge puts up with her selfish, idiotic husband, but he’s her Homey, and their love has endured the many trials and tribulations Homer has brought to their life.
Bob and Emily Hartley , The Bob Newhart Show
Psychologist Bob (Bob Newhart) wouldn’t be the same without his grounded wife, Emily (Suzanne Pleshette) to keep him —00000000000 and their sometimes crazy life — in line.
Morticia and Gomez Addams , The Addams Family
When Gomez (John Astin) woos his beloved wife Morticia (Carolyn Jones), he begins by reciting French, kissing her hand, then her wrist, then up her arm to her neck. For a gothic 1960s family, that’s pretty racy. Go Gomez!
Joey and Pacey , Dawson’s Creek
Sure, Joey (Katie Holmes) grew up loving her best friend and neighbor Dawson (James van der Beek), but once she got a little taste of the wacky Pacey (Joshua Jackson), that was all she wrote.
Jim Halpert and Pam Beesly , The Office
From flirting to romancing to marriage and babies, Jim (John Krasinski) and Pam (Jenna Fischer) have taken the art of the office romance to new levels.
Paul and Jamie Buchman , Mad About You
Paul Reiser and Helen Hunt showed some of the best chemistry on TV ever as the Buchmans, two New Yorkers trying to have a normal, happy marriage. They are, after all, mad about each other.
Rob and Laura Petrie , The Dick Van Dyke Show
As another classic TV couple, Laura (Mary Tyler Moore) knows just the right thing to say to calm her neurotic husband Rob (Dick Van Dyke) down — except when it’s his turn to calm her down. “Oh, Rob!”
Sawyer and Juliet , Lost
There were many couplings on the twisty “Lost,” but none of them held as much resonance as the love story between Sawyer (Josh Holloway) and Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell), who found each other under some very unusual circumstances.
Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big , Sex and the City
Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker)on-again, off-again romance with Big (Chris Noth) has given her a lot of grief through the years but also much joy. And through it all, they knew in their hearts they were destined to be together.
I’m surprised that Mulder and Scully aren’t on this list, but overall it’s a pretty good list. Who do you think is the best or missing?

E! Online are celebrating their 20th anniversary so they decided to come up with a list of the top 20 TV shows from the past 20 years and they did a pretty good job in my opinion.
20. Survivor
I agree with a lot of these choices but not exactly in this order, for me I would rank Buffy The Vampire Slayer as number 1 because the writing and acting on that show is just incredible. The likes of Modern Family and True Blood are too soon to see if they deserve a place on a list like this. But overall a good list.
19. Grey’s Anatomy
18. The Sopranos
17. Friday Night Lights
16. True Blood
15. Six Feet Under
14. 24
13. Sex and the City

11. Modern Family
10. The Office
9. Seinfeld
8. Veronica Mars
7. Arrested Development
6. Dexter

The new year is upon us and that means we will get a batch of new and old TV shows popping up in the coming weeks, so here is a list of what is apparently the top shows that you and I should be tuning into.
“Human Target” Premieres January 17 on Fox
An action show based on a DC Comics graphic novel – yeah, boys are gonna love it. Ex-”Fringe”-r Mark Valley stars as Christopher Chance, a private security guard who integrates himself into his clients’ lives and then makes himself a human target in order to draw the threat out. But what drives him? Hmmm, cue fingers drumming on table. The preternaturally chiseled Valley is assisted by “Pushing Daisies” vet Chi McBride and “Watchmen” weirdo Jackie Earle Haley. No love interest has been announced. So yeah, girls are gonna need that.
“Lost” Final season premieres February 2 on ABC
It’s not a new series, but it deserves to be on this list because a lot of newbies (and oldies who’d given up) are going to want to tune in to catch what’s sure to be a crackerjack last season of “Lost.” Most shows keep going until they run out of gas and get cancelled, leaving the creators with little time to wrap up loose ends. But the makers of “Lost” knew they’d need to plot the finale to their twisty show long in advance, so back in 2007 they got ABC to agree to an end date of May, 2010 – even though the show was and is a ratings powerhouse – so they could start working backwards and make sure everything hung together. Mysteries like the smoke monster will finally have to be solved (or I’m starting a riot, dammit!), so apparently the sixth season will no longer devote precious minutes to flash forwards and other time travel business. But surely it’ll find time to show Jack and Sawyer with their shirts off again, no? Or else, you know – riot!
“Past Life” Premieres February 11 on Fox
You must watch at least one episode of this show just to enjoy how incredibly bad it is. And perhaps you’ll only have a chance to watch one episode of this show – that’s just how bad it is. Though it’s reportedly inspired by the novel “The Reincarnationist,” about a guy who goes to an institute specializing in the past-life memories of children to help him figure out why he’s remembering being a pagan priest in ancient Rome, it’s more plausibly inspired by the sound of TV executives scraping the bottom of the crime show barrel. In lieu of the novel’s “Da Vinci Code” intrigue, the show is a straightforward procedural, pitting a female believer (Kelli Giddish of “All My Children”) opposite a macho skeptic (Nicholas Bishop, “Home and Away”) as they investigate unsolved crimes by talking to people who are going through some sort of past life regression. The pilot episode has a teenage boy remember being a little girl who was drowned a couple months before he was born. Oh, the angsty faces! Oh, the silliness! You’ll die laughing, but don’t worry – you’ll be reincarnated so you can laugh at this show again.
“Parenthood” Premieres March 1 on NBC
Ron Howard had a family comedy hit on his hands with “Parenthood” in 1989, starring Steve Martin as the eldest brother in a loopily loveable clan. Two decades, a couple of Oscars and another family comedy (“Arrested Development”) later, Howard’s finally getting around to milking that cash cow on the boob tube. The TV version of “Parenthood” doesn’t seem to have been updated much. There’s still a single mom (Lauren Graham of “Gilmore Girls”), a ne’er-do-well brother (Dax Shepard) and an earnest dad (Peter Krause from “Six Feet Under”). But now the controlling parent played by Rick Moranis in the movie has gender-bended into Erika Christensen in the series. Judging from the trailer, the pieces don’t seem to fit together as well this time. (Do you really buy Krause as a dedicated family man?) But if anyone can spin a laugh out of sweetly dysfunctional family dynamics, Howard can.
“The Marriage Ref” Premieres March 14 on NBC
Jerry Seinfeld is producing this reality show about ordinary married folks and the celebrities who judge them. Turnabout is fair play, tabloid readers! For our alleged viewing pleasure, an assortment of actors, comedians and sports stars will crack wise and decide who’s right and who’s wrong in disputes between real-life spouses. We’re not sure if anyone gets voted off or if winners get to trade in their frumpy spouses for a celebrity. But we’re pretty sure that Seinfeld, who met his wife when she was newly married to someone else, isn’t qualified judge anyone’s union, ever. Ditto for sports stars, for pity’s sake. We’re also sure that Seinfeld’s wife has him over a barrel while this show is on the air. And that’s why we can’t wait to watch!
“Sons of Tucson” Premieres March 14 on Fox
This sitcom sounded like it could be a lazy cross between “Malcolm in the Middle” and “My Name is Earl” (please let hick worship die soon), but it’s actually a pretty shrewd one. Three brothers are about to be sent to a foster home when their father goes to prison, so they hire a loser to pose as their dad. The loser? Tyler Labine from “Reaper,” who’s just young, burly and caustic enough to keep the show sizzling. The kids are too caustic for their own good – they sounds like irony-lovin’ screenwriters, not kids in a fairly horrible predicament. But with writers from “Wonderfalls,” “Samantha Who?” and naturally “Malcolm in the Middle” plugging away at this show, they’re sure to grow on us.
“Treme” Premieres in April on HBO
From David Simon, creator of “The Wire.” That’s all discerning TV viewers need to know, really. “The Wire” was the best series of the last decade and Simon has the kind of talent that can only get sharper (and maybe angrier) with age. But if you need to know more: “Treme” is set in New Orleans three months after Hurricane Katrina, when people are just starting to come back. The title refers to one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods, which is where much of its music and dance originated. Several of the main characters seem to be jazz musicians. The cast includes Wendell Pierce (Bunk on “The Wire”), Steve Zhan, Khandi Alexander and Melissa Leo (“Frozen River”). But as in “The Wire,” the real stars will be the social issues Simon tackles. Expect a lot of singing, dancing and outrage.
“Boardwalk Empire” Premieres in the fall on HBO
It’s like “Mad Men” but set in the 1920s with gangsters and gun molls! Martin Scorsese lent his name to this drama by directing the pilot, which is the brainchild of “The Sopranos” scribe Terence Winter. (If you’ll recall, “Mad Men” creator Matthew Weiner also came out of David Chase’s talent lab.) Steve Buscemi stars as Nucky Thompson, the “undisputed” ruler of Atlantic City (wanna lay bets on his rule getting disputed?) just as Prohibition takes hold. Michael Pitt, Kelly Macdonald, Michael Shannon and Michael K. Williams (Omar on “The Wire”) round out an excellent cast. Lots of attention to period detail should make this show the most stylish of the New Year. Or perhaps the most glamorous show on TV? The 1920s were an even better-looking decade than the 1960s, don’t you think?
“A Game of Thrones”
There are already two blogs devoted to following the casting and Northern Ireland location shoot of this series’ pilot episode, which HBO hasn’t yet confirmed will air. The reason for the feverish fan interest? The series is an adaptation of the first novel in George R.R. Martin’s beloved fantasy series that uses knights, tournaments, creatures and icy locations in the service of telling human stories where villains aren’t always the bad guys and where the honourable solution isn’t always the best one in the long run. (Thanks to Time Magazine and the Chicago Tribune for these observations.) Lena Headey from “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles” will play a royal woman who’s as cunning as the men around her. Peter Dinklage, Sean Bean, Jennifer Ehle and Mark Addy costar. With any luck, HBO will green light enough games to take us through all the novels in Martin’s saga.
The only one of these shows that I will be watching is Lost, I’m glad it is ending but I am also going to miss it. Any of these shows catch your fancy?

Lindsay Lohan (with extra plump lips) lost her phone last night so she decided to waste all tax payers money and call the police.
Lindsay was apparently at Mott Corner Deli in New York City at around 7:30 PM when she was buying some food, but once she left she realised she didn’t have her phone.
She then went back to the deli to get her phone but the person working in the deli wanted to check the security tapes to double check that it was indeed Lindsay’s phone he was giving to her.
This went down like a house on fire with Lindsay who went into a rage and had one of her friends call the NYPD to deal with the situation, when they arrived it had all solved itself out.
After the whole drama, Lindsay took her 15 year old sister, Ali Lohn, out on the town to party with Diddy at the Waverly Inn.
Someone please tell Lindsay Lohan that she does not have the right to use the taxpayers money and police officers at her discretion anymore, not until she gets a hit film at least.

Tom Cruises‘ loss is another hacks gain!
Tom Cruise – who’s been on a messianic-type tour of Toronto for the past couple of days, giving umpteen interviews to anyone and everyone for “Valkyrie” – has lost his BlackBerry.
After Cruise did a full-hour interview with “Entertainment Tonight Canada,” his people called the studio asking if anyone had found the gadget. “A search was done, but, nada,” Govani said. “So, basically, someone in Toronto has Top Gun’s crackberry.”
Oh my… can you just imagine what one could find!
