HOTTER IN HOLLYWOOD

THE TEASE CONTINUES

SOMETHING'S COMING...

LOST: WHAT THE...?

For those of you HIHers suffering from a little Couch withdrawal, suffer no more. Erin and Jon are back. Guys, take it away...

Couch here. I know, long time no talk. Our bad we would like to apologize for the lack of communication, but we kind of like to think that we are stuck on the Lost island, you know, loud noises, flashes of light, nose bleeds, not wearing shoes. The again we call our island our job. We wake up most mornings asking when are we, but then again who doesn't.

Anyway, let's talk about how freaking awesome last night's Lost was! We finally get some answers that we have been waiting for and of course, cause it would not be Lost, if we did not walk away from this episode with a few new questions.

What happened to Aaron? Don't ask Kate, just DON'T, cause if you want her to go back to the island you just don't ask. Then you get make out. How did Hurley get out of jail? Why is Sayid being brought back to Guam in handcuffs? Who beat up Ben? Why did Locke commit suicide? (thank god they told us what the letter said we were waiting for Jack to rip it up.)  Why is creepy woman from The Others not a series regular yet??

Ms. Hawking tells Jack that they must recreate the circumstances as best as they can in order for this time window to be open. 1. A dead body on the plane (Locke wearing Jack's Dad's shoes) 2. Hurley brings Charlie's guitar case with him. 3. Sayid is in handcuffs and under protective custody, just like Kate was. 4. Jack is transporting a dead body. 5. A possible pregnant woman? Kate and Jack did do the deed before they got on the flight. And Claire was pregnant on the plane. Just sayin.

And how about the ending?  Jin pulling up in the Dharma van. Begs the question When the f are we?!

Next week we find out what happened to Mr. John Locke. Don't know about you, but we cannot wait.

What's in a Name? Hot Couture by Jon Unger

There's a new trend popping up around town, and believe it or not, it's pretty damn affordable.

The Names Brand is a new T-shirt company specializing in Ts with names. Iconic names. It's as simple and kitschy as that.

For example, my friend handed me a Gossip Girl edition on Friday listing each person's name on the front, and I couldn't stop wearing it all weekend. Literally. All. Weekend. Long.

The categories range from TV shows to bands to movies to sports to video games...for men, women, and children. Want a tote bag or hoodie with the cast of Zelda on it? Go for it. Can't find a team/cast of your liking? Simply contact them and they'll customize the shirt FOR YOU.

Plus, today marks the unveiling of SEVERAL new T-shirts including LOST (to coincide with the premiere tonight -- GENIUS), Saved by the Bell, The Who, Monty Python, Halo, Radiohead, Arrested Development, etc.

Check it out: www.thenamesbrand.com

And then you can say, "Oh, I was wearing that before INSERT CELEB NAME HERE."

We Heart Tool Academy Hot Tube by The Couch: Jon Unger & Erin Gaughan

Happy New Year, HIHers!

It's been a long time, we know. The holidays swept us away, but not away from our TV sets.

We have a new obsession to add to our list. Tool Academy.

VH1's newest reality guilty pleasure brings a group of guys, sent by their girlfriends, to relationship bootcamp. While they think they're competing to be named Mr. Awesome, the girlfriends have actually enrolled them in Tool Academy. The guys are PRICELESS and some of the statements that are thrown around are for the Reality Series Hall of Fame.

"I mean, I thought I was the only one he flipped."

You'll get it when you see this:

Consider yourselves addicted. You can thank us on Valentine's Day.

The Couch

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Drink responsibly...make out with a stranger passionately...and break those resolutions proudly.

Love,

The HIH Fam

Because We're Givers... Hot Tips by The HIH Family

We at HIH know what it's like to search for the right gift for that one impossible-to-shop-for person on your holiday list. That's why ALL of us have joined forces to bring you our suggestions in our first annual Hot in Hollywood Holiday Gift Guide (whew, say that five times fast). Allow us to show you a few of our favorite things, stuff we can't live without, goodies we absolutely love.

FOR YOUR AGENT WHO SHOULD BE IN A.A. (from: Michael Medico)

Mona Vie is a health drink everyone in Hollywood is talking about. The main ingredient is the Acai berry which has more antioxidants that anything else. It's made with a special freeze-dry process so that the Acai berry holds all of its nutrients. It's also composed of 19 other fruits (seeds, peels and all), Glucosamine and Omegas 3, 6 and 9 (the equivalent of 13 servings of fruits and veggies a day!) AND it makes for an amazing vodka cocktail. This is a super healthy gift that tastes great and says "I care about you!" If you want to order some email me at Michealmedico@mac.com.

FOR YOUR TRENDSETTING HIPSTER BUDDY (from: The Couch)

Our hot item: Johnny Cupcakes T-shirts...After a very devout cult following in Boston, Johnny's Cupcakes opened his LA store on Melrose. You might think you're walking into a bakery, but trust us, there are no baked goods in there - unless of course you're at one of his very special t-shirt release parties. People line the block days in advance for this. The signature logo of a cupcake atop crossed bones, a take on the skull and cross bones, dons the chests of those in the know. Once you get one or step inside the insane shop you'll be hooked.

FOR YOUR BOYFRIEND WHO IDOLIZES DANIEL CRAIG (from: Corey Moore)

Stocking stuffer alert! Still finding yourself humming the theme song to Quantum of Solace? The Best of Bond...James Bond is a CD/DVD set featuring 23 musical standouts (Shirley Bassey, Sheryl Crow, Tina Turner, Madonna) from the 007 movie series - PLUS a previously unreleased bonus track, five music videos, a filmed concert performance...and more.

FOR YOUR GAMER GEEK WHO SECRETLY LOVES THE JONAS BROTHERS (from: Hiko Mitsuzuka)

With a blockbuster lineup of mastered music tracks from Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5, Rihanna, Jonas Brothers, Fall Out Boy, Paramore, Simple Plan, 3 Doors Down and Blink 182, gamers now have the chance to be a true Pop Star by starring as the lead guitarist in their very own band in PopStar Guitar (available for Wii and Playstation). Guaranteed to drive your Aunt Edna up the wall.

FOR YOUR MARGARITA-LOVING BROTHER (from: Kathleen Newlove)

1800® Tequila has come out with their new line of customized Essential Artists bottles, each designed by a talented artist. These limited editions make great gifts for collectors of top-shelf liquor...Save some for December 31, and you'll have yourselves a New Year's Eve you'll never forget (well, drink responsibly so you really don't forget it)!

FOR YOUR MOM WHO STILL CAN'T TELL WHICH ONE'S HALL AND WHICH ONE'S OATES (from: HIH reader Amy)

In May 2008, Daryl Hall and John Oates took the stage at the legendary Troubadour in West Hollywood for the first time since playing their earliest L.A. shows there 35 years before. The best performances from this much anticipated two-night concert, which included hits such as “Maneater,” “Private Eyes,” “Rich Girl,” “Sara Smile” and “Kiss On My List,” are now available in three formats – DVD, Blu-Ray, and a 1-DVD/2-CD combo, via Shout! Factory. All together now: "Oh, oh here she comes..."

FOR YOUR GRANDMOTHER WHO CAN'T AFFORD HER HEATING BILLS (from: G. Charles Wright)

Ladies and gents, I present to you: the SNUGGIE. It's the blanket with sleeves. I saw the commercial on TV and nearly fell off my recliner. The SNUGGIE looks like a giant poncho, but the kind of poncho that Yoda would wear. Upon investigating the SNUGGIE further (read: buying 4 of them online) I found out that it comes in two styles: regular and 50% thicker with pockets. Clearly the thicker version with pockets is the one to choose. Clearly. You can find out more and (probably) get totally ripped off at www.getsnuggie.com or at www.asseenontv.com

...And there you have it, HIHers. To those of you who plan to brave the malls come Black Friday, Godspeed. To those of you who will probably wait until December 24 to hit the stores...Best of luck (you'll need it).

Happy Shopping,

Your HIH Family

LOST Watch: Season 5 Poster Hot Tube by The Couch: Jon Unger & Erin Gaughan

Holy Frak and then some!

So, here's the newly unveiled Lost Season 5 Poster.

What's missing? Oh, we don't know. Maybe just....JIN!

Is this a ploy by the producers to make us forget about the poor guy? Or to reiterate that he died? Or just a scam? Ugh, our minds are whirling. Gotta love the separation between city and island in the middle. And Sawyer's hair looks extra...bouncy.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN from HIH

Go out and get tricked and treated.
