5 Reasons To Watch 'Alcatraz' This January

We are reaching the point in that fall TV schedule when shows go on mid-season hiatus and networks bring in mid-season replacements for shows that under performed (only 3 episodes for Charlies Angels & Playboy Club... really???). One of the most anticipated mid-season additions is 'Alcatraz', the new show from uber genius JJ Abrams. The first official teaser trailer (30 seconds... C'MON!!!) has leaked and it has piqued my interest... so here are 5 reasons why I think you should give the show a shot come January. Click after the jump for the list and an embedded version of the trailer...

OHC of the Day: Sarah Jones

Sarah Jones may not be a break out star (yet), but boy does she know how to stay involved in some popular projects. She has been featured on one of my all time favorite shows, Showtime's Huff, as well as Ugly Betty & House. She also has had considerable roles in HBO's critically acclaimed Big Love & FX's smash hit Sons of Anarchy. Not to mention that she was one of the leads in Fox's highly touted new series Lonestar... which despite the fact was one of the most critically acclaimed show of the season before it started, was cancelled after 2 episodes because NOBODY WATCHED IT. She has also been in a few movies, like Still Green and Love Finds A Home. Yet yesterday, her career took a serious upswing. Jones was just cast as the female lead in JJ Abrams new tv series for Fox entitled "Alcatraz". With Undercovers not achieving the success that he had hoped, the ever powerful JJ is banking on Alcatraz to restore his superstar status as a producer and has tapped former Lost alum Jorge "Fat Ass Hurley" Garcia (I kid, I kid... I love Garcia, but I HATED Hurley) as the male lead. Not much is known about the show other then the fact that it centers around some prisoners who disappeared 30 years ago and re-appear in modern times. Now the FBI has to track 'em all down and find out WTF happened. Jones will be playing one of the agents in charge of recovering the immates. She seems like a wonderful actress and a beautiful girl, and everyone who watches Sons of Anarchy raves about her (I know, I have to start watching that show!!!)... so I don't think Ms. Jones will be an Obscure Hot Chick much longer. Alcatraz will be premiering next season, so be on the lookout...

Weezer's New Album Is Called "Hurley"... Yup, That Hurley

I always wondered just how hard it is for a band to come up with the name for a studio album. Some are strange (Wu Tang - Enter The 36 Chambers), some are funny (Gym Class Heroes- As Cruel As School Children), some are serious (Jay-Z - Th Black Album), etc.... but every once in a blue the band must get stuck. Apparently, Weezer just met Jorge "Hurley" Garcia from Lost, and they became fast friends. Here they are in the studio chillin:

So when the band couldn't come up with a title for their new album, they just decided to crop the above picture and call it the "Hurley" album in honor of Jorge. Ironically, the guys in the band are just starting Lost on DVD (WTF, where you been???) so its not because of their overwhelming love for the show... it was all about the vibe they got from chilling with Jorge (God knows they must have ate good when they chilled... look at the size of that guy!!!) Anyways, here is the album art. Check for the Hurley album to be in stores soon.

I Fucking Hate Hurley... But Jorge Garcia Is Kinda Cool

I am a huge Lost fan, and I am convinced that the show is pure perfection. But if there is one thing that I can not stand about the series, it's resident island fatty Hurley. Ever since the first time I watched the show, all I could think about was how this fathead was gonna die. Ain't no way a tubby bitch like this was gonna make it on a deserted island... let alone a time hopping, polar bear infested tropcal island. Shit, I even thought the rest of the castaways would put a stake up his fat ass and have some "Suckling Cubano" for dinner with Jack getting the first piece. But no dice. Hurley is still around, and as we get to the last few episodes of the entire series Hurley is proving to be quite important. This means more exposure for Jorge Garcia, and when I was flipping through the April/May 2010 issue of Complex magazine I saw a small featurette on Tubby McTubenstein himself. After reading it, I came to a pretty crazy conclusion: Hurley may be a dick, but Jorge Garcia is pretty fucking cool. So  went to the Complex website, and found this video of his photoshoot. Pretty cool stuff when its all said and done. Maybe Hurley is not half so bad... nah, fuck all that noise. I hope MIB infiltrates Hurley's asshole and inflates him till he pops. Oh wait, he must be doing that already... hahahahaha.But seriously, I have a new respect for our boy Jorgie... good luck in the future you ginormous son of a bitch!!!  Enjoy!!!
