Leaked: Lost Season Finale Call Sheet Gives Away Some Spoilers

To give you an idea how potentially nuclear the information on the leaked call sheet for the season finale of Lost is, upon seeing the following link, Movieline senior editor Kyle Buchanan commented: “I’ve avoided that all weekend. I don’t want to knowwwwwwwww.” So, yeah, this is pretty serious stuff. Certainly the type of thing that Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse and the rest of ABC didn’t want to have hit the web. Or, maybe they did want this to see the light of day, since it’s all just some red herring produced by the Dharma Initiative in conjunction with Charles Widmore, The Man in Black, Nikki and Paolo. Who’s to say? Click ahead … if you dare.

Californication Welcomes Rob Lowe

According to a Showtime press release dropped in Movieline’s inbox just moments ago, Rob Lowe will visit Californication next season for at least one episode. The square-jawed star, whom NBC is hoping will increase Parks & Recreation ‘s female viewership, will play “self-possessed, award-winning movie star ‘Eddie Nero,’ a possible contender to play Hank in the film version of his hit novel.” Apparently, David Duchovny’s hormone-addled cable series is the place where middle-aged actors go to raise uneasy parallels to their own sex scandals.

Chances are that you were not among the lucky thousands who attended Conan O’B rien’s “Legally Prohibited from Being Funny on Television” show at the Gibson Amphitheater in LA this past Saturday.

Gleebasing: Schue Empowers the Classes, Madonna-Style

Ryan Murphy must have cut last night’s hit of Glee with something wicked. How else do you explain the “Ray of Light” cheerleading routine on stilts , Kurt’s Don Knotts wardrobe and Artie’s usage of the phrase, “If you want to get all up on this.” After the jump, Movieline recounts the the highs, analyzes the low notes and determines which numbers were just bad hallucinations. And pay attention — there will be a pop quiz.
