Actor Dominic Monaghan’s attempts to clarify the plot of complicated TV drama LOST have been dismissed by producers.

The 29-year-old, who plays rocker and heroin addict Charlie Pace, thinks the desert castaways are at the mercy of a bitter billionaire wreaking revenge for past wrongs. But The Lord Of The Rings star’s ideas fell on deaf ears with directors. He says, “One of the theories I came up with was that we’d all in some way p**sed off some huge billionaire. “He’d managed to get us all on a plane and have it crash into this island so that he could watch us from his castle with hidden cameras and create a Truman Show nightmare for us all. “Maybe I’d s**gged his daughter, or Evangeline (Lilly)’s character, Kate, had stolen money from his bank, or Josh (Holloway)’s character Sawyer, had fandangled money out of him. “But the idea got pooh-poohed by the writers.”

Lost star Josh Holloway is being tipped to star in the next X-Men movie as fan favorite Gambit. Holloway, who plays Sawyer on the hit TV show, was set to star as Gambit in X-Men: The Last Stand but pulled out because of TV commitments.

But it’s reported the model/actor will star in the next installment, which will not feature many of the film’s original stars, including Hugh Jackman, Ian McKellen and Halle Berry.

The film’s producer Lauren Schuler Donner tells Moviehole, “Remember in Lost? There was a guy in there that was the perfect Gambit, the guy with the straight hair, good-looking, the bad boy… Sawyer. The reason we didn’t use Gambit was because in a sense his persona is a bit like Wolverine in that he’s got attitude and his power is not quite as exciting as the others.

“That’s why we went to Nightcrawler on 2 because he looked different than everybody else and he had a great power. So yes, I think we would weave Gambit within our story, (but) it wouldn’t be The Gambit Movie”.

Gambit possesses the ability to charge objects with energy, causing them to explode.

Lost beauty Evangeline Lilly almost abandoned her successful acting career, because she struggled to deal with the trappings that come with being famous. The 27-year-old admits the pressure to be thin almost gave her a nervous breakdown in 2004, when she felt she needed to “get away from it all”.

She says, “I called my parents and said, ‘I don’t know what’s wrong. I don’t know if I can keep going in this industry.’ “I just wanted to get away from it all. I never wanted to be a big film star. I just wanted the comfort of having a job I love. “The pressure to stay thin is enough to make you go insane. I was overworked and undernourished.” But the star reckons she’s fully recovered, thanks to her mantra, “I am what I am,” which she repeats 20 times each day. She says, “I know it’s cheesy, but it reminds me if people don’t like who I am, that’s OK.”

Actor Jorge Garcia stars as Hugo ‘Hurley’ Reyes in Lost – the protracted mystery show that’s moved from Channel 4 and starts its third series on Sky One on Sunday at 10pm. Before Lost, Garcia starred in a US hospital-based sitcom. Lost is famed for its unresolved plots – such as why a polar bear is running around a tropical island and the creepy black smoke that haunts the plane crash survivors.

Will we ever find out what the mystery in Lost is all about?
Yeah, at some point.

When?
It’s not going to be episode one of series three.

How long will it drag on for?
I dunno. I think the goal was to do five seasons in total but it’s hard to guess.

Are the writers making it up as they go along, or is there a master plan?
No, there is a master plan but if they want to tell the story in five years and we’re still a successful show, the network will want to keep the show going. The writers and producers need to fulfil their contract with the network. They want to tell a story but don’t know how long they have to tell it, so they have to guess.

The show’s lost about 2million British viewers since the start of series one to now. Will it have any viewers left in two years?
We’re still doing pretty good. Viewing figures aren’t something I think about. When we first started we had the best of both worlds – diehard fans who were always talking about the show on the Internet and a big overall audience of casual viewers. Our figures are still pretty big – we have room to lose a million viewers and still be considered a hugely successful show.

I’ve never had a problem getting work, I know what I can do and it’s just a matter of getting people to see me.

How far in advance do you know what’s going on?
I know what’s going on up until episode eight of season three but that’s just because I’ve shot those episodes. I’ve no idea where the big picture’s going.

While Lost fans scratch their heads over what to do at 9:00 tonight, preview audiences of “We Are Marshall“, which made some test screenings last night, have the perfect job in mind for Lost’s leading man Matthew Fox: Movie Star.

Reception to the film, which chronicles the astonishing rebuilding of a football team killed in a freak airplane crash, has been overwhelmingly positive; with much of the praise being targeted at Lost Matthew Fox.

With rampant rumors that (avert your spoiler irritated eyes) Fox is leaving LOST shortly to pursue a film career, the praise is a sweet counter-punch to the critics who claimed Fox didn’t have what it takes to make it on the big screen.

Lost fans themselves have become bored with what seems to be a two-dimensional take on the character of Jack through the critically lambasted, but still mega-successful, second season. This prompted Lost writers and Fox himself to struggle to bring more dimension to the character throughout the six week mini-season that kicked off season three.

“Marshall” would seem to indicate that Fox has honed his craft to perfection with more than one critic using the word “Oscar” in the same sentence as Fox’s name. The film itself, which debuts December 22nd, is expected to leave a mark on the genre of sports-drama meeting the highest expectations of both a tear-jerker and a feel-good comeback rarely seen in one package.

Rumor has it that Lost star Matthew Fox, 40, and his wife Margherita are expecting their third child. However, his rep is strongly denying it at this time.

They have daughter Kyle (pronounced Ky-leeh), 8, and son Byron, 5.

Matthew recently talked to People magazine about spending time with his family: “Today we spent (time) on the beach with our two kids – we just hung out and spent a lot of time in the water. From the ocean to the pool, from the pool to the ocean. Pretty awesome.”
