Apologies in advance for not running hot celebrity ass with the Roundup, but we need to pay homage to Charlie, who – SPOILER ALERT!! – died in last night’s thrilling LOST finale. We’ll get into the recap in a little bit – it’s a post you can skip over if you can’t stand the show – but we wanted to give the guy a shout-out. You can also expect a post on the new ESPN NFL ‘blog,’ and yet another one on the NBA draft. But LOST … damn, do we really have to wait eight months until the next episode?
