Island Trouble

Island Trouble

We've talked about Desmond's breast adventure twice before at WYP, but it's all expanded with an in-depth article I wrote on the subject over at Parcbench.

Apparently I misspelled Desmond's love Penny's name as Penne in the article. Someone left a funny comment pointing out my mistake:

1. Desmond isn`t engaged to a pasta, her name is Penny; not Penne ;) 2. Writing "Cusick`s behavior on set has landed him in hot water," is tantamount to reporting that he actually *did* the behavior in question, and not that he is just accused for having done it. This ought to be corrected.

There's nothing wrong with being in love with pasta! It's always been there for me.

Desmond Also Motorboats, Brotha

Desmond Also Motorboats, Brotha

Chelsea Stone is suing LOST actor Henry Ian Cusick and ABC for sexual harrassment.

She also claims Cusick "placed his face on top of [her] breasts, moving his face from side to side." He then squeezed her breasts with his hands. (TMZ)

The old motorboat. Classic. Desmond is hot. Why is she complaining again? All jokes aside, sexual harrassment is wrong (obviously) and he should deal with the consequences. If this is true, Desmond is getting the ax for sure. How unfortunate since he is an amazing actor and a crucial character on the show.

But I wonder why Stone waited 2 years to file a lawsuit (AP reports that the alleged incident occurred in October 2007). Something seems sketchy about this.

Desmond Gropes

A somewhat amusing story from the set of the brilliant TV show Lost:

LOS ANGELES — A woman who claims she was sexually harassed then fired from the TV show "Lost" is suing ABC and actor Henry Ian Cusick.

The lawsuit filed Friday in Los Angeles alleges that Cusick, who plays Desmond Hume on the show, fondled the woman's buttocks and breasts and kissed her on the lips in October 2007. The lawsuit claims she reported the incident to her supervisor, but was simply told to avoid the actor. She states she was fired 12 days later in retaliation for reporting the alleged abuse.

The filing says the woman had worked for ABC since 1997.

Kanye West "Amazing"

Kanye West "Amazing"

We all know that Kanye West is amazing because he says it about 50 times (which makes it true duh). This video? Not so much. Kanye and Jeezy just look like two guys, having a bonfire in Hawaii. They like bonfires and they don't care who knows. Hype Williams was all like, "let me sprinkle in some chicks crawling sensually and throw in some random helicopter shots of the island. Alright that's a wrap, guys."

This video triggered so much LOST withdrawal (special recap episode my ass!) that I hoped that the smoke monster would pop out and wreak havoc while Kanye masturbated to himself in the jungle. Amazing.

Jorge Garcia Sells Weed

Jorge Garcia Sells Weed

Selling drugs seems to be a common theme in Jorge Garcia's TV roles. On Lost, his character Hurley was once falsely arrested on suspicion of selling drugs and in a small role in the comedy series Curb Your Enthusiasm, he plays a drug dealer who has to put up with Larry David. The guy just can't catch a break.

In Love With Lost

In Love With Lost

I'm usually pretty good at expressing my views on the things I really enjoy. Be it Star Wars, Red Dwarf, hip-hop, comic books, I've written plenty about all of them. However, the brilliant television show Lost has me completely lost for words.

Now in its fifth season, so much has happened in Lost that it is almost unexplainable to anyone who hasn't watched the bulk of the series. People have died, come back to life, been attacked by clouds of smoke, travelled through time, been kidnapped, had babies, met loved ones that were half across the world, dead or in another period of time, been sent to mental institutions, arrested, left the island and come back to the island all in a series that from its onset seemed like a simple show about people crashing on an island but revealed itself to be the complete antithesis of "simple."

Lost is by far the most intelligent television program I have ever seen. I couldn't recommend it more. Even if you haven't seen an episode yet, it is worth the investment of buying the four seasons that are available and watching them in a marathon. American television tends to cater to the lowest common denominator and avoid challenging the viewer's intelligence or attention span (think cable news, Family Guy or reality shows). Lost is a shining example that television can be good.

One More Week

One More Week

LOST is less than a week away and I'm getting that anxious, restless feeling again everytime Wednesday nights approached, waiting to see if we'll FINALLY get some answers, what happened to Claire?, WHO OR WHAT THE HELL IS JACOB? time traveling bunnies, island delays, WHY DOESN'T RICHARD EVER AGE!? What is this little game being played by Ben and Widmore? And how did Widmore "change the rules"?

I bet the dog, Vincent, has something to do with everything. Vincent is Jacob! Or Jacob is Christian, Jack's alcoholic, philandering, surgeon dad now dead and roaming the jungle, telling people they have work to do.

Oh God. This show makes my brain hurts. That's a good thing. Biblical, philosophical, scientific references, oh my! I don't think I've ever loved a show with this much intensity. I've been occupying myself, watching old episodes to refresh my memory, lurking Addicted to LOST facebook groups, *trying* to avoid the spoilers on DarkUFO, and analyzing the theories on LOSTpedia. Basically, this show owns my life.

As much as I can theorize, wax poetic about this show, and take up the whole page, I'll be curtious and save the excitement for January 21st.

God loves you as he loved Jacob.
