ISLAND LIFE SHORTS
Help is here for confused 'Lost' fans

Advertiser Staff

Still working to understand the world of "Lost"? You are not alone. The show's producers have been working to bring some secrets to light this season, however — and they've pulled it all together in "Lost: The Answers," at 9:07 tonight on ABC. As the show, filmed on O'ahu, careens toward its finale Wednesday, this special reviews its progress. Be wary, however, because even facts can change. Locke has been shot point-blank twice; he survived the first time, but might not make it now. Ben, left, said he was born on the island, then said that was a lie. Juliet was seen spying for The Others, then said it was all a ploy to hold them off. Answers can be tricky sometimes.

HAPPY TALK

RAISE A GLASS TO SHREK'S RETURN

It's not easy being green. Oops, wrong character. With the arrival tomorrow of "Shrek the Third" on movie screens, McDonald's has gone green, with Happy Meals harboring Shrek characters, plus collectible 16-ounce Shrek drinking glasses toasting Donkey, Puss 'N Boots and other favorites, and exchangeable Shrek Arch Cards. Starting today, through June 7, McDonald's will donate 20 cents from each Shrek Happy Meal to the Ronald McDonald House Charities of Hawai'i, to mark the charity's 20th anniversary. Kids will find Shrek online activities at www.happymeal.com.

FINAL WORD

"She loves Barbra Streisand, Broadway shows, her partner Kelli, their four young children, anyone's babies ... and feuds. Not necessarily in that order."
