More Problems with "LOST"

The list just keeps growing with the number of "LOST" stars in trouble with the law.
This may be one of the pricier packs of batteries ever to pass through Los Angeles International Airport.

E news reported Bai Ling was charged Monday with one count of petty theft for allegedly stealing two magazines and a package of AAA batteries from a gift shop at LAX on Feb. 13, shortly before she was scheduled to board a flight to New Mexico.

If convicted, the actress and frequent partygoer could face a maximum $250 fine, per L.A. City Attorney's Office spokesman Frank Mateljan. She is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday at the Airport Branch Courthouse.

Ling, 37, was detained at about 4:30 p.m. by a shop employee, who then summoned authorities, after supposedly trying to walk out of the story with $16 in unpaid merchandise. The recent Lost guest star was booked for misdemeanor shoplifting at the LAPD's nearby Pacific Station and released on her own recognizance.

Please someone tell me what happens to people on that set. LOL

Hollywood engine on idle as strike winds down

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Labor peace returned to Hollywood on Monday, but the town's production machine remained at a low idle ahead of a vote by striking film and TV writers on whether to return to work after a three-month clash with major studios.

A proposed contract settlement was endorsed on Sunday by the governing bodies of the Writers Guild of America, which also pulled the plug on further picketing scheduled this week.

But the walkout remained in effect pending a vote set for Tuesday by union rank and file on whether to lift the strike.

Membership meetings are slated for New York and Los Angeles where writers can cast their ballots in person or by proxy, and they are expected to support an immediate back-to-work order.
