Dominic Monaghan pulled no punches when he claimed that fellow Lost alum Matthew Fox beats women. In fact, he stated it clearly - twice.

Monaghan decided to take questions from fans on Twitter a few days ago when an innocent question popped up asking Dominic to tell Matthew to get a Twitter acount. He replied, "he beats women. No thanks."

The same fan responded with, "but what about all those good times you had!?!" which only brought about a stronger response: "how do you know we ever did?you don't know either of us.he beats women.not isolated incidents.often.not interested."

With Steve Carell leaving ‘The Office’ last month, it’s time to reflect on big goodbye episodes. I thought ‘The Office’ pulled off his departure well, although I’m not sure how I feel about the future of the show.

Here’s my top ten list of other shows that have successfully sent a character off in style. The rules: it is a true “goodbye” episode with a major character or star departing. If it happens off-screen, it doesn’t count. So that’s why I’m not including some obvious departures, such as Rhoda Morgenstern, Frank Burns, Coach Pantusso, etc.

Here they are. Do you agree?

Lost star Evangeline Lilly is pregnant, according to a new report.

The actress, who briefly dated co-star Dominic Monaghan, is expecting a baby with boyfriend Norman Kali, a production assistant, according to UsMagazine.com.

It's the first child for the couple.

The baby news broke after Lilly was spotted sporting a baby bump in Hawaii, where Lost was shot, on Thursday.

A publicist for the actress has yet to confirm or deny the story.

Now that 'LOST' has been off the air almost a year, it seems the appropriate time to re-visit the series.

The final scene shown during ABC's Sunday night broadcast of the "LOST" series finale was added to the show by the network - not executive producers Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse - according to a report on Entertainment Weekly.com.

This might be the most difficult thing I've ever written, and I can't even figure out how to get started. LOST has changed television, and if you don't believe that, you don't understand what an incredible show it was. Even haters can realize that with its original plotline and encouragement of science fiction in a major network, it opened doors for shows outside of the box to maybe be taken more seriously than they used to. It was a community show, one that encouraged the millions of fans to think and discuss and speculate together in a way that had never been seen. It decided to cancel it...

Dominic Monaghan had an unusual way of working out if he fancied a girl - he would insist she slap him across the face.

The star, 32, has been dating former Lost co-star Evangeline Lilly since 2004, and admits that when he was younger he used to enjoy rough antics - both in and outside the bedroom.

He says, "In my single days, a way for me to work out whether I was into a girl would be to ask her to slap me across the face. If it was rough, then I would be into it, but if it was a soft one, then I wasn't into her."

And the British actor discovered such kinky behavior would co...
