The 'Lost' Hour: Season 6 Premiere

No indeed. The "Lost" Hour chat has flashed back to Wednesdays at 2 p.m. ET, so as to stick with the idea of chatting the day after the show airs. You can read the transcript of yesterday's show here.

I know. I was going to write about this for tomorrow's main blog post, but  turns out it isn't true. According to a designer who apparently is actually working on some kind of clothing line with lil' Noah, there is no plan to expand into boudoir wear for the pre-tween set.

Yep. I think what we're meant to assume is that Brittany had a veritable smorgasbord of drugs in her system at the time of death.

According to TMZ:

As for the multiple drugs found in her system, we're told they were both prescription, including medicine for cramps, and over-the-counter medications, including cough syrup. Our sources say the drugs "pushed her over the line" but the underlying problems were the pneumonia and anemia.

I'm sorry Liz.

"Fantasty" -- I'm thinking that was a typo, but it works.

If Daniel's married, the ceremony must've been held on the down-low. But he has been a notoriously private guy, so that wouldn't be much of a surprise.

I do recall rumors of an alleged engagement -- to film producer Satsuki Mitchell -- sometime in the last year or so. I  think she was snapped wearing what looked like an engagement ring or somesuch.

So, maybe?

Panda fanatics say one last goodbye to Tai Shan

Don't be a stranger, dude.

I love that she's a potential hoarder (of junk -- even if it is expensive designer junk). That actually makes her 100 times more interesting to me. She's moved out of the realm of vapid, possibly drugged up, actress on the rocks into the much more interesting space of a woman with a totally illogical compulsion. I've already envisioned her meeting an end wherein she's buried by a mountain of Jimmy Choos.

Featured this in the Morning Mix a couple of days ago, but will post for anyone who has not yet seen it. My first reaction was that I can't believe the guy (Mel) is surprised to be getting these questions. He says something early on in the interview about having done his "mea culpa thing" and seems to think that should suffice and we should all just now put the whole DUI arrest/anti-semitic rant behind us.

Sorry, Mel, but you don't get to decide that.

Trust me, I was running on pure adrenalin at that point.

That's the spirit.

FYI -- you can turn off the auto-publish feature in the bar at the top, if that helps. You'll just have to refresh the page to see new questions.

Well, soon they will all be like this and there will be video and all kinds of neat doo-dads embedded in these here chats. It's a brave new world.

We were long overdue for a change. The software we had been using -- which has been great -- hasn't truly been upgraded since the late '90s.

Aspects of it had to be...expanded to accomodate.

I can't believe Paul let this one pass without embedding a pic.

What's not to like? It'll grow on you. Give it time.

Andy likes it.

Exactly. If he wants to re-ignite his acting career, he needs to be prepared to deal with his past actions.

Well, she was 30... I'm not sure we can continue to blame the family at this point.

I believe it's just "Sally."

Right -- I don't think the two scenarios are mutually exclusive.

Ya know, I didn't watch. It takes a lot for me to actually watch "SNL" these days. It's just so... not... funny. And after watching January Jones choke and burn last year, well, I pretty much swore off the show.

No luck on the Google, and I'm afraid if I keep looking the Post IT dept. will confiscate my computer.

May I appeal to the wisdom of the crowd?

Paul, any luck? I can't seem to find one.

I can't imagine someone -- Tila -- who was so obsessed with Twitter just quitting cold turkey. She was online 23-and-a-half hours a day. I predict a return. And soon.

Hey, Courtney Love couldn't stay away.

Love the Nathan Fillion.

The RLS is under control thanks to a fabulous neurologist and, now, the cooperation of my OB. Good luck with it. There are tons of online resources to help point you in the right direction for treatment. Trust me, it is possible to control RLS and lead a somewhat normal life, complete with restful sleep.

And thanks for the comments re: the new chat format.

Well, i don't think it'll hurt anything. So, hey, keep pressing.

Ummm, a trip to a clubhouse happy hour?

Well you can still append those handles if you like. Just add them at the beginning or end of the question. Or put them in the topic area.

Have I shared this one yet?

I will, hopefully, be on a jet bound for Puerto Rico. Andy and Opie will be holding down the fort -- along with Page and our housesitter extraordinaire.

There you go -- a growler. Just throw a golf ball in the jug and you're set.

It's okay. Just succumb. Easier that way.

Just press every 108 minutes.

Okay, so only the "Lost" geeks will get that, but it's okay.

I'm not sure I want to know what goes on when we're not there.

Good question. (See Britney's icky Grammy dress here, along with some other questionable looks).

I'm not going to worry until she busts out the pink wig again.

Perfect.

Right. And it'll differentiate her from all her peers who gravitate to "Celebrity Rehab." Speaking of which, anyone watching the new season? What happened to Heidi Fleiss's face?

I love this chat.

Oh, it's our third time back to the same place -- Vieques. I would totally recommend to anyone interested in a low-key getaway. Really the only things to do are eat, sleep, read and go to the beach.

I'm so confused.

You're just noticing this now?

But with Heidi -- it's as if whatever was injected into her lips left them deflated rather than inflated. I hesitate to say it, but she looks like she had an accident playing with fire.

Nope -- all we need for vieques is a pair of flip-flops and a straw hat.

I'm not wild about her music, but I can appreciate that she's a creative person who has figured out a way to make it on her own terms.

2010 Oscar Roundtable - Newsweek

I did not read that yet. Maybe I'll save it for the plane tomorrow.

And I would totally check out "An Education" if you're able. A well done little movie. Carrie Mulligan, as I've said before, is basically a Katie Holmes who can actually act.

Tech problems = she just can't sing "Rhiannon." Did you see Stevie Nicks's face while they were on stage? She was mortified.

Well, yeah, but that's hardly illegal and not too different from the lives led by many of his contemporaries. The DUI incident, however, took things to a new level.

Thanks for the insight.

We have a few places that have become go-tos for food and bevs. Restaurant Bili in Esperanza ... can't wait to get a taste of that cassava salad.

A plus. We have a plus!

Yeah, she does seem like a really cool person and someone who would be a great friend. But, yeah, I'm not a big fan of her  movies, either.

Well,  yeah. I don't think Vieques is ready for us to go starkers.

You have a point there.

Feel better?

Sure -- how about a little Wild Irish Rose? Or, considering the year it was designed, a Zima?
