Matthew Fox, Evangeline Lilly, and Jorge Garcia relaxing on the set
You have to see this. Josh Holloway, Terry O’Quinn, and Jorge Garcia are singing “On the Bayou” while taking a break on the LOST set, sitting under a tarp with fellow cast mates.
The video is by @bethanyshady (Jorge Garcia’s wife), and you can watch it on her Facebook page.

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.
Here’s video about the incident from a local Cleveland television news broadcast, which has an interview with the bus driver, a short clip of her 911 call, and an interview with a fan who met Fox a few hours earlier.

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.

Matthew Fox as Jack in the LOST pilot
Prosecutors started an investigation, but according to ABC News, they decided not to press charges.
The latest info adds bizarre new details to what was already a strange story. The bus driver has filed a civil suit against Matthew Fox for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
The bus driver’s attorney said,”If he had just sent a dozen roses or something like that, this would have been all over.”
Say what?
The attorney also said that he believes Fox is receiving preferential treatment because he is a star — and that he (the attorney) has photos of the bus driver’s injuries.
There were also witnesses at the scene. Police had detained and handcuffed Fox at the time, but then let him go without arresting him.

Matthew Fox on a better day (as Jack in LOST 2x8)
A 29-year-old female bus driver accused Matthew Fox of repeatedly punching her outside a Cleveland nightclub at 1:30 in the morning on Sunday, August 28. Fox was in Cleveland to shoot a film.
The bus driver said that Fox attacked her when she wouldn’t let him get on her chartered bus, which was reserved for a private bachelor party. She told the Cleveland Plain Dealer, “He smelled like a liquor cabinet, like a bar. I told him, ‘Sorry, buddy, this is a private party. You have to get off my vehicle.’ I told him three times. He never said a word. He just looked at me.”
Fox, she said, started “swinging on her,” bruising her arms, leg, thighs and chest. When he didn’t stop, she punched him in the mouth. He wiped the blood from his mouth, then attacked her again.
In an interview with CNN, she said “He was swinging at my legs and, ultimately, my chest and my crotch area.”
Police on the scene detained but did not arrest him, and they let him take a cab back to his hotel.
A few days later, on August 31, prosecutors started interviewing witnesses to decide whether they would press assault charges against Fox.
And that seems to be all the news that has come out so far.

LOST may be long over, but new products keep on coming.
Four new bobble heads from Bif Bang Pow! are available for pre-order — although at this point, it looks like they won’t actually be shipped until June, 2011.
The Sawyer bobble head has our nickname-loving hero wearing a shirt (alas!) and a jacket. For some reason, he is holding a gun — I’m not sure what scene this is referencing. He is also holding the letter that played such a poignant role in Season 1.
The Jack Shephard bobble head is posing with Vincent the dog — an odd choice, in my opinion, especially since Jack’s two iconic scenes with Vincent involve Jack lying flat on his back in the jungle, a position which wouldn’t work for a bobble head, as it would interfere with the bobbling. 
Besides, whenever I see Vincent, I think, “Where’s Waaaaaaaaaalt?”
Also, is it my imagination, or is Vincent unusually small here?
The bobble head is meant to evoke the Series Pilot — it has Jack wearing a suit, with a bit of the wreckage of Flight 815 on the ground behind him. He’s also got some sexy stubble. In fact, he looks sexier as a bobble head than he did in the series. (Yes, as a Sawyer fan I’m biased, but it’s true!)
The Desmond Hume bobble head shows the Season 2 Desmond, wearing a Dharma jumpsuit and standing by the Swan Station computer, where he is, presumably, about to type in the infamous numbers.
Last, but not least, is what I think is the best bobble head of the bunch — Dr. Leslie Arzt holding a stick of dynamite, about to blow himelf up — a scene which led to one of Hurley’s greatest lines ever.
