All casting rumors for
Lost seem to have been debunked almost as quickly as they spread.
Last week,
Isabelle reported on word that
Veronica Mars' Kristen Bell and
Prison Break's Peter Stormare were being considered for two new recurring roles on
Lost. The Stormare rumor
got squashed pretty quickly, and today TV Guide's Ausiello
is reporting that Kristen Bell won't be joining the cast, either. The reason, he says, is because Bell didn't want to relocate to Hawaii.
Well, shucks. I adore Stormare and would love to see Bell get a gig that'll give her a wider audience.

What did Katharine McPhee do to tip the balance in the universe so bad things happen to her? Maybe it's because she continues to sing Somewhere Over the Rainbow as if she wrote the song herself. Earlier this week, she broke her foot during a performance. Her wranglers say she tripped on something backstage at the
Idols concert in Charlotte, North Carolina. She sang two songs wearing "slipper sandals" (huh?) and then went directly to the hospital for x-rays, which revealed a broken left foot. She had just rejoined the tour last Friday after suffering from bronchitis and laryngitis. This mishap, however, is not enough for her to leave the tour.

It must be the crowd, and
not the cameras or the lights, that is making Kellie Pickler nervous. After all, she has been on a televised singing
competition before. And it wasn't too long ago.
TMZ
has a short video clip of Kellie competing in a 2005 Charlotte, North Carolina singing competition called
Gimme the
Mike (we have a version here in Portland, too). Kellie made it into the top five but did not win. The clip over at
TMZ shows Kellie singing
Independence Day and
Stand by Your Man. I think she's yelling the songs,
but, then again, I think she yells every song. There are also
photos from her high school yearbook where she's totally
into cheerleading and she still has naturally blond hair.
