Depilation and Time Travel: The Great Mysteries of Lost

Apologies to those of you who don't watch Lost...

As I watched last night's episode, I wondered the same thing that Defamer does — where oh where has Jack's body hair gone? Like the black smoke, the giant foot, or, hell, just about everything in the show, count it as just another of Lost's great mysteries to be answered in future episodes.

One more note [and possible SPOILER], AFTER THE JUMP...

Jack's hair has apparently vanished even before he gets off the island. Here, Juliet shaves an abdomen with no hair on it.

Matthew Fox Loves to Get Naked

Even though he'd rather leave the whole beefcake thing to Josh Holloway, Matthew Fox wants to show people he's not really the conscientious doctor-type he plays on Lost. In an interview in the latest Men's Journal Fox offers some insight into his off-screen persona:

"I'm a liar and a cheat and a thief and the ultimate manipulator. ... I tell lies every day, man. And when I say I'm phenomenally manipulative, I am. I really enjoy social boozing, and what I enjoy about it is when people I know and care about say and do things they normally wouldn't say or do. To make that happen I'll instigate anything...As for the skinny-dipping, when I was a kid there wasn't a huge delineation in our family between having clothes on or not having clothes on. And the reason I have so much fun doing it now is people are so shocked by it, and, like, 'Oh, my God, Fox just took his clothes off!' But, I mean, just how long ago was it that we were all wandering around in loincloths?"

Hmm. My memory doesn't go far enough back to remember the loincloth era, but in this case a vivid imagination can be quite helpful.

News: Matthew Fox, Boy Scouts, Dianne Feinstein, Poltergay

Bill O'Reilly: "You cannot be confrontational with the President of the United States."

Matthew Fox would rather leave the whole beefcake thing to Josh Holloway, he says, leaning back into his best flexed-bicep come-hither pose.

After a case involving use of a marina in Berkeley, California is turned down by the Supreme Court, the AP notes that the Boy Scouts of America are fighting and losing legal battles over their discriminatory policies. California's State Supreme Court ruled in March that the marina had the right to revoke the Scouts' usage privileges based on the city's anti-discrimination laws.

VF on red states vs blue states: "If the blue states are sinkholes of moral decay, as right-wing pundits insist, how come red states lead the nation in violent crime, divorce, illegitimacy, and incarceration, among other evils?"

Senator Dianne Feinstein shows off her technique...for fundraising.

The new season of top chef premieres on October 18th and features openly gay chef Carlos Hernandez, who offers AfterElton, among other things, the recipe for a successful 13-year relationship: "We live together, we work together and we vacation together, so we see a lot of each other. I guess the secret has to be respect. If the respect is taken for granted, then everything just goes downhill. It also helps that he’s in the front of the house and I’m in the back of the house, so we are separated in some sort some of the time."

Seems the only publicity Boy George can seem to get these days is when he's picking up trash or trashing others.
