TV News Update: Is Ben From 'Lost' Getting A Female Companion?

Michael Emerson as Ben LinusSpoiler Alert! Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, the creators and producers of Lost , answered a series of questions for Lost fans on E! in a video clip. Among them was whether the best villain on TV right now, Ben Linus (Michael Emerson), may be getting "some loving" this season. The answer was no, but they did mention his obsession with Juliet (Elizabeth Mitchell) might have some consequences. Other revelations? The four-toed statue will be revisited this season, and explored more in season six. And Ben's (and Rousseau's) daughter Alex (Tania Raymonde) was brutally killed last season because the writers were "looking for a way to create a moment of sympathy for Ben." They add that Ben "is, make no mistake, out for revenge." The Lost season premiere on ABC is on Wed., Jan. 21.

Actor Blair Underwood says that an online petition from fans to save ABC's Dirty Sexy Money from cancellation would ultimately be fruitless. Underwood, who plays Simon Elder on the drama, says that the show is definitely cancelled. "As far as I'm concerned, we're not doing any more shows," says Underwood. "ABC officially doesn't want to use the C-word—canceled—but we're not on the schedule. I would pretty much say we're canceled," he tells E! .
