George Clooney To Appear On ER

Dr. Ross is back! George Clooney is set to appear in several upcoming episodes of "ER".

He was photographed on the set of "ER" on Thursday, as the actor returned to his old show to reprise his role as Dr. Doug Ross.

His character will be featured in at least one scene practicing medicine at a hospital in Seattle. He is also set to film scenes at County General.

The scenes will be filmed out of sequence to work around the actor's busy schedule.

And it appears he may be reuniting with his old "ER" love interest.

Julianna Marguiles, who played nurse Carol Hathaway for six years on the show, confirmed she is also shooting scenes for the show.

The "ER" finale will air April 2 on NBC.

George is also busy filming his latest comedy "Men Who Stare At Goats" due next year. The film features Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges.

The movie revolves around a reporter in Iraq who might just have the story of a lifetime when he meets Lyn Cassady, a guy who claims to be a former member of the U.S. Army's First Earth Battalion, a unit that employs paranormal powers in their missions.

He has also just wrapped work on the animated adventure comedy "Fantastic Mr. Fox", where he voices the role of Mr. Fox.

Joined by a group of voices that include Cate Blanchett, Bill Murray, Jason Schwartzman and Anjelica Huston, it tells the story of angry farmers who are tired of sharing their chickens with a sly fox, and look to get rid of their opponent and his family.

6 Jan 08:

Hi everyone, its CJ Sonic here and i am very proud to present a NEW GAME for the new season of LOST.

This game is very simple and a fun way to watch the new episodes of LOST. We all know what those magical numbers are (4, 8, 15, 16, 23 & 42) and i made a game which uses those numbers in a new and fun way.

You have to guess which character will appear at those numbers during an episode of LOST. Meaning which character will appear at 4 minutes, 8 minutes, 15 minutes etc etc... Pretty Simple huh? For each correct answer you receive points and in total there are 10800 up for grabs. (See read me below for a more detailed break down)

And what will you get if you win do i hear you say? Well how about £30 worth of Amazon Vouchers for you to spend?

All you have to do to join this new and exciting game is fill in the following form:

LOST Numbers Game Entry Form

I will be accepting initially up to 1500 entries with the possibility for more if demand is there! So please join and see how well you can do in guessing when characters will appear on LOST. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join this competition. I will be giving weekly updates on who appeared, scores and league tables!! You can find more information in the READ ARTICLE's below

So Good Luck and i hope you enjoy the new season of LOST and i will be speaking to you all very soon.

How to Play

As you know the numbers are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.

In this game each number represents a minute in the episode, you have to guess which character (from a pre selected list) will be on screen at that minute(this is based on an episode being 42 mins long like on the DVD). So for example during an episode you would have:

4 minutes - HURLEY
8 minutes - JACK
15 minutes - WIDMORE
etc etc...

The 42 minute character is the last person to be seen during the episode before the LOST End title.

So the idea of the competition is for each number you have to guess which character will be on screen at that minute. But just to add the possibility of more points you have to predict the episode type(flashback etc) and character centric (who is the episode based on).

I have selected a list of characters for you to choose from, which ever character off that list appears closest to that minute gets the points. The points break down to this:

Correct Episode type- 10 Points
Correct Character Centric - 20 Points
Correct Character on a number - 100 Points

That's 630 points per episode plus an extra chance at points, which is:

Correct Character who appears the most in the game- 90 Points

In total over 17 episodes there are 10800 Points to be won!! (notice how 108 appeared in there, coincidence??)

The Characters you have to choose from are:

Aaron
Abaddon
Ben
Charlotte
Christian S
Claire
Daniel
Desmond
Frank
Hurley
Jack
Jin
Juliet
Kate
Locke
Miles
Penny
Richard
Sawyer
Sayid
Sun
Walt
Widmore

Rules and Guidelines

These are the rules and guidelines for the LOST Numbers Game. They have been made as fair as possible and my decision on any matter is final.

Episodes are based on the 42 Minutes of running time and adverts are not included. Myself and a panel of forum staff will sit down and enter who we think appeared on screen at that time. Any disagreements will be discussed until all members are in agreement on which character goes with each number. This decision is final.

If the LOST titles (the lost sign) appear during one of the minutes, the first character seen after the titles will count for that minute.

If no character from the pre-selected list is on screen on one of the numbers the first character as close to that exact minute will be the one selected.

If a number of characters are on screen at the same time, the character on the left side of the screen closest to the front of the screen will be the one counted.

The 42 minutes person is the last person to be seen in the episode before the titles, NOT the person who is there at exactly 42 minutes.

My decision is final on the rules and any decisions regarding them. Anyone found to be cheating will be removed from the game.
