Rush Limbaugh In Hospital With Chest Pains

Radio personality Rush Limbaugh was rushed to the hospital yesterday after complaining of chest pains.

The 58 year old is vacationing in Honolulu Hawaii, and while playing golf at the Waialae Country Club on Wednesday afternoon complained of chest pains.

Reports say he was admitted to the hospital in serious condition while tests were completed to determine if he had suffered a heart attack.

Local television stations were reporting Wednesday that paramedics took him to The Queens Medical.

No word yet if Rush will return to his radio show later next week after finishing his vacation.

His website Rushlimbaugh.com was displaying the following alert:

Rush was admitted to a Honolulu hospital today and is resting comfortably after suffering chest pains. Rush appreciates your prayers and well wishes. He will keep you updated via RushLimbaugh.com and on Thursday's radio program.

TWoP Picks LOST as #1 Scripted Show of Decade!

I know there are awards and mentions, but I really think think that LOST being picked as the #1 Scripted show by the site Television Without Pity is a big honor for the show.

TWoP is one of the more well known TV sites and their forums are quite popular among TV fans.

So I really feel mentions like this are cool.

Lost Posters - All 16 Prints

Here are all 16 Lost Prints in one post for your convenience.

Which are your Favourites?

Damon and Carlton talk to TV Guide about Season 6

TVGuide.com: With the final season of Lost approaching, what are you feeling?
Carlton Cuse: I think we're doing something new in this final season narratively, so we have that combination of fear and giddiness. The fear is, oh, what if people don't like it, what if the audience doesn't like what we're doing? The giddiness is, like, we always feel like we have to be bold with our show and if it works, and if people like it as much as we do, we feel like the final season will be a success. When there's a draw though, we stand by our decisions. We're not playing it safe in the final season.
Damon Lindelof: I think at this point, the nervousness is more based on how we're so deep into this season, that by the time the audience sees it, we're committed to our path. It's been like that ever since we started premiering in January and February. It's like it's too late to turn back now. We're feeling very confident about executing what our plan was, and that's all you can ever do.

TVGuide.com: What do you say to fans with such high expectations for your last season?
Cuse: I think it's like anything in life. I think that you have to have realistic expectations. We're going to do our best version of the show, but there's still going to be some mystery and magic and intentionally ambiguous things that emerge at the end of the show. We're going to answer questions, but at the same time, we're going to tell the story the way we want to tell it. We feel like, all we can do is make the version of the show that makes Damon and I happy. If we do that, hopefully enough people will like it.
Lindelof: Ditto.

LOST Art Project - Poster 16 Revealed

Hey All,
I was one of the lucky few who got a chance to go to the special reveal of Poster 16 for the LOST Underground Art Project in Hollywood, CA at Gallery 1988.

Thanks to several of you who convinced me to go including my podcast partner Karen who called me throughout the day and a special thanks to SNLFanForever for letting me join her and her friend Jessica in line to get in.

It was a really cool event with tons of LOST fans, the Writer/Producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and several other members of the producing team and staff.

The art was amazing and I was able to get several autographs on my Season 6 Poster.

NOTE: Poster 16 that was revealed tonight apparently has two clues for Season 6 and Damon Lindelof confirmed one of them when he signed the poster. You can find the post about the clues in the spoilers section here:

http://spoilerslost.blogspot.com/2009/12/season-6-clues-revealed-on-new-lost.html

Check out all the pics I took here:

Lost to get a 3 Hour Season 6 Finale

Thanks to Sl-Lost for the heads up on this snippet from Carlton about the Season 6 Finale and the fact that it will be 3hrs, split over 2 weeks.

Will 18 hours be enough for the last season? (By the way, Season 6 will consist of a two-hour season premiere, 13 episodes and three-hour series finale that will air over two weeks -- but as Cuse joked, "I’m sure the network will sell it as a six-part finale if they can.") Cuse: "For us, [18 hours] is just about right. I mean, we aren’t sitting here feeling like, 'Oh my God, we need a ton more hours to tell the rest of our story.' It feels like it’s going to work out just fine. It will have been the right length."

Drive Shaft, Blast Door, Black Rock, and one of Mittelos or Jacob's Cabin.

Here is an early teaser of the Drive Shaft T-Shirt.

Another New Lost Season 6 Poster?

Update: 00:00 Sorry for the confusion. This was actually some concept art that was commissioned by ABC. It's unclear if this will be used as an official promotional photo.

Thanks to mr cyan for this new "leaked" poster for Season 6. I'm not 100% sure it's real but it seems pretty likely that it is after my conversation with mr cyan unless he's a good bull shitter lol.

As you'll see there are a couple of additions from the original.

Lost Season 6 - Promo 3 - Extended Version

Thanks to Erin at ABC for just letting me know that ABC plans to have their "Sunset On The Beach" Season 6 Premiere on 30th Jan 2010.

The Lost University - Blu-Ray Videos for all



Update: 12th Dec Videos have been removed by YouTube. We hope to have them available early next week.

Update: 11th Dec 20:30 Here is another Lost University Video - Physics about time

Update: 11th Dec A massive thanks once again to Sawyer840 who will be posting some more for us soon.

Thanks to cypher for compiling all of this for us. If anyone finds anymore please let us know so that those of us without Blu-Ray devices can still see the video.

Sawyer840 (http://finaldestinationlost.blogspot.com/) posted at his blog some videos from Lost University classes.
