Evangeline Lilly Has LOST Her Shorts

A cheap and easy excuse if there ever was one to post some pics from Ms. Lilly's photo session of a few years ago: LOST returns tomorrow night for a new season.



She seems more than happy to get back to work..



Or, she just realizes how wonderfully cheesy the gingham bra and panties set is..
While she and the show's fans may be happy it's back, I seem to recall (years ago?) when the last new episode was on that in a flash-forward, Kate and Jack had gotten off the island, and Jack's last line was something about 'We have to go baaaaack!'
The fufL prediction of Kate's response to him as the new season opens:





As shown above, I think we can say Ms. Lilly has a much better sense of humor than her character - and, as we've shown before, she's certainly not a cheesy sight in her bra and panties.

LOST's Evangeline Lilly Is Selling Her Panties on ebay

..and, you'd think those panties would have worn out by now after all those years on that LOST island..

Actually, while the headline of the post is true, it's not how it seems. Ms. Lilly is starting a line of Brazilian-made lingerie called R*Favella that she's selling on ebay Giving Works to benefit children and teens in bitterly-poor Brazilian neighborhoods through the charity Task Brasil. The auctions are for a limited time, so as they say in Chicago, bed early and bid often. (Nevermind, that's vote early and vote often). Either way, if you want to help a good cause and get into Evangeline Lilly's panties, (Oh, like she didn't know all these jokes were coming?) bid while you can.

Gretchen Mol: Lingerie On Mars?

The lovely Gretchen Mol may be far more known for her film work, most notably in The Notorious Bettie Page playing the pinup legend.




She's doing her first TV series returning tonight on the U.S. network ABC - no, not LOST. Not that we haven't covered that and one Ms. Lilly before, but after LOST, stick around for the American version of the semi-guilty pleasure that is Life On Mars. Imagine you're a NYC Police detective in 2008. You're trying to save your detective girlfriend from a serial killer. You're hit by a car. You wake up, and it's 1973. No cellphones. No computers. (No Blogs, YouTube, Twitter, Skype or G4!) No microwave ovens. No such thing as Political Correctness. You have a cool muscle car, and one of the first things you see are the World Trade Center Towers still standing, brand new. Jason O'Mara plays Detective Sam Tyler - welcome to his new world. Someone else he sees is the only co-worker he confides in, 'Police Woman' Annie Norris. Ms. Mol is far from her Page persona, and more often is buttoned up - and '1970's-ized' as is everyone else in the cast - that's lead O'Mara on the right. Hey, at least it's the pre-Disco 1970's..



As if all that weren't enough, the Precinct's Captain, Gene Hunt, is played by the under-rated and rarely-on-TV-except-in-cool-movies-from-the-real-1970's -and other decades- Harvey Keitel, and The Sopranos' Michael Imperioli sports a 70's mustache that must be seen to be believed. Having seen pictures of my Dad and his friends from that era, I can tell you it's not(!) too wild to be accurate. If you've enjoyed reruns of 1970's cult detective shows like I have - mainly for the cheese factor - or lived through them like my Dad, enjoy Life On Mars for that and the added element of looking at it with a grit filter from 2009.



So, let's review the reasons for this post: To get more people to watch the damn show already so ABC leaves it on. And as a damn good excuse to post the above pictures of Gretchen Mol in lingerie.

Vanessa Minnillo To MTV's TRL: CYA

Ms. Minnillo said about the same to all but her bra and panties in the October 2005 Maxim, too..



As she told People Magazine:

"I had my four years there like high school or college," Minnillo, 26, said Tuesday at a benefit for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. "I'm ready for the next chapter – what it is, I have no idea. [But] I don't want to be 48 saying, 'Hey kids, now it's Sean Preston Spears's video.' "

As fantastic as Ms. Minnillo looks in the above bra, I think we have evidence that she's no slave to always being bound by lingerie below (on TRL)..



And, no offense to the magazine's photo staff people, but I think MTV's makeup people understand the idea of not 'gilding the lilly' a bit better.
