ABC's "Lost" has gotten major national magazine publicity, with a cover story in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly (with stars Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly) and a "Ladies of 'Lost' " fashion feature in US Weekly.

The castaway drama, which also stars Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim, will be broadcast on South Korea's KBS network beginning Christmas Day. This will be the first time for KBS to import a show that is still in its U.S. run, rather than waiting for the season to end.

Willis allegedly was hurt during filming of a firefight sequence when a ground squib, intended to simulate a bullet impact, launched a projectile that struck him in the face.

Willis, who reportedly received $20 million to do the film, says he suffered "substantial injuries," as well as "extreme mental, physical and emotional pain and suffering" ...
