J.J. Abrams says “Alcatraz” is not LOST

Jorge Garcia and J.J. Abrams at the 2012 Television Critics Association

A few days ago, in a talk at the 2012 TCA (Television Critics Association), J.J. Abrams said that Alcatraz would not be like LOST. Alcatraz, he said, would have storylines that were resolved every week, and questions would be answered quickly.

The TV critics in the room had their doubts about that, according to a critic who was there.

Alcatraz starts on Monday, January 16, at 8 p.m. (7 central) on FOX.

Bus driver counters Matthew Fox’s countersuit

Bus driver who sued Matthew Fox Jack from LOST

Heather Bormann, the bus driver who says she was assaulted by Matthew Fox

This all started when Matthew Fox may or may not (depending on who you believe) have drunkenly punched a Cleveland bus driver in the private parts when she wouldn’t let him get on her chartered party bus. Prosecutors declined to bring criminal charges, but the bus driver sued.  Then Matthew Fox sued back, claiming he wasn’t the one who punched her. She punched him, he said. He also sued her for defamation.  Now the bus driver has filed a motion asking that Fox’s countersuit be dismissed. Continue reading

Matthew Fox files countersuit against bus driver

Jack in LOST Season 4 finale

Matthew Fox as Jack in "There's No Place Like Home," the LOST Season 4 finale

A couple of months ago in Cleveland, a 29-year-old female bus driver accused Matthew Fox of repeatedly punching her when she wouldn’t let him get on her bus, which was reserved for a private party. Fox was in town filming the movie I, Alex Cross. Although no criminal charges were filed, the bus driver filed a civil suit against Fox.

Five days ago, Matthew Fox sued her, saying that she was the one who had assaulted him. In addition to suing her for assault and battery, he is also suing for defamation, saying that she lied about what happened.

Just in case this story wasn’t tabloid-worthy enough, Cleveland Channel 5 News is reporting that Fox was in a strip club right before this all happened.

Carlton Cuse creating a new show about a spiritual guide

Carlton Cuse

According to New York Magazine’s Vulture, Carlton Cuse and author Rob Bell have signed a deal with ABC to co-write and co-executive produce a show called Stronger, about a musician who becomes a “benefactor and spiritual guide.”

The show will be “loosely based on Bell’s own life story as a musician who ended up founding his own church, Michigan’s Mars Hill Bible Church,” which is more Oprah than fire-and-brimstone.

“There’s also expected to be a narrative twist to the project that will make it a bit unconventional, but for now, that detail is being kept secret”

Carlton is also working on another show for ABC, Point of Honor, which has something to do with the Civil War, and is writing an African adventure movie which will star Hugh Jackman.
