Barbara Hershey

They had a 21-year age difference and endured a strain that would have sunk any other relationship, and still Barbara Hershey and Naveen Andrews continued as one of Hollywood's more endearing couples.

But now comes word that it quietly ended for Hershey, 62, and Andrews, 41, six months ago. "They remain best of friends," Andrews's manager Renee Jennet tells PEOPLE.

In 1998, long before Andrews would go on to star in TV's "Lost," the then-29-year-old actor met Hershey, then 50, a veteran of films such as "Beaches" and "Hannah and Her Sisters," on the set of the obscure 1999 indie film "Drowning on Dry Land."

They were together until a 2005 separation that was as brief as it was eventful: Andrews confirmed that during the split he fathered a child with another woman. Andrews and Hershey worked things out and continued their relationship until their breakup last year.

24 Finale

The 24 finale has a tough act to follow tonight. In fact, the 24 finale has almost been forgotten by the television world, in the midst of the Lost ending. Today, all of pop culture is still arguing over Lost, and
 mourning its end. But for 24, which was just as innovative as Lost in its heyday, the final episode is far less of an event. In fact, some fans may regard it as a relief, after the mixed results of the last three years. In any case, the 24 finale doesn't feel like an ending at all, since Jack Bauer will likely live on in movies anyway.

There could not be a greater difference between final episode events, even though Lost and 24 are equally groundbreaking. Whereas Lost set the bar for mystery shows, 24 set the bar for serialized action, years before Lost was even born. The 24 hour, 24 episode format shook up the TV formula, and created a new iconic American hero - warts and torture and all.

If the 24 finale happened three years ago, it might have been more celebrated. The show will best be remembered for its groundbreaking first season, and for its Emmy-winning fifth year where Jack Bauer was upstaged by a twisted First Couple. But ever since Season Five, things have not turned out so well.

Day Six was declared a disaster, then the strike ensured that Day Seven wouldn't redeem it for two years. Heading into Day Eight, everyone knew that the 24 finale 2010 could have been the last for the show. In midseason, they finally decided to end it, although perhaps not at its best.

This last day in New York has been tainted by 24 fatigue, a more outlandish final few hours than usual, and Dana Walsh in general. Heading into the 24 finale tonight, Jack is even more of a killing machine than usual, as he continues to slaughter the Russians who killed Renee Walker. Now it appears he has to kill the Russian President to end it all, as U.S. President Taylor still refuses to come to her senses, thanks to Charles Logan.

There should be no ambiguity or divisive plot twists in tonight's sendoff. This show usually ties things up by the end of each day - and even if they didn't, fewer people would get angry. The controversy over the show
 has faded, as has critical approval for the most part. Even if there are unresolved loose ends, the likely 24 movie would clear them up.

The 24 finale is certainly Jack's last hour on TV, before he can get even bloodier on the big screen. The last big question is where he will be left off before his movie career starts. The clock finally shuts down from 8-10 pm est tonight on FOX.

Lost Finale Explanation

Lost Finale has finally been explained! Lost, the tv series which glued many to its fan base has now came to an end. The Lost finale explanation is what everyone wanted and want. Lost Finale, are they in purgatory or not? What really happened in all these episodes and whose interpretation was right among the millions of followers in the world?

As it says “Viewers, where are we? The answer: Almost anywhere we want to be”! The simple answer after the final show is that the whole story was not purgatory but only part of the last season was!

Everything that you saw in the show happened. Starting from the plane crash, moving through the smoke monster to the protection of the island and others. In simple words, all the flash forwards and flash backs of the show was in fact the reality and things that happened.

Confusing series right? That is what the producers wanted. Each character which died in the show in fact died in the real universe to be then transported to a single point in purgatory. The final aim was the after life, so everyone had to die to reach that point including those who managed to escape the island.

Now coming back to our real life, the question is if fans are happy with the series ending. Some are more confused than ever while some are quite happy to have predicted the right meaning of the show.

Oceanos Sinking

Another sea disaster is being talked about! This sea adversity is not one to forget. The Oceanos Sinking is one of the biggest disasters in the history of South Africa.

“On 3 August 1991, the Oceanos set out from East London, South Africa, headed to Durban. It headed into 40-knot winds and 9 m (30 ft) swells.[1] Usually there would have been a “sail-away” party on deck with musicians and entertainers Moss Hills and Tracy Hills. However, due to the rough sea conditions, this was held inside in the Four Seasons lounge. Although Moss and Tracy and other members of the ship’s entertainment crew did their best to get a party atmosphere going, most passengers chose to stay in their cabins.” –Wikipedia

You can watch the story and updates of the Oceanos Sinking and aswell belief from the survivors on TV tonight.

The Oceanos Program, “Miracle on the Wild Coast” is set to air here in the states tomorrow night, Sunday May 23rd.

You can also watch the Oceanos Sinking story special online via live stream to see the most talked about Oceania.

Lost: 'What They Died For' Review

After this latest episode of Lost, I'm struck by the fact that the show only has 2.5 hours remaining. Not everything is going to be explained, and some fans are most definitely not going to be happy. This doesn't bother
 me quite so much after this week's "What They Died For." The writers are telling their story, the one they want to tell, and it doesn't appear, at least at this juncture, to be pure fanservice. I can't wait to see how their vision ends.

But, I digress. On to "What They Died For." I was more than a little concerned at the beginning of this episode, especially coming off of last week's "Across the Sea," which I felt was misplaced in the season. Turns out I was wrong on both counts. "Across the Sea" set up "What They Died For" beautifully. And what's more, this week's episode showed enough forward momentum (or at least as much as a penultimate episode which exists to set up a finale can) to make me genuinely excited for this Sunday's finale.

"What They Died For" packed a lot of information and a lot of movement into a short time frame, even if the plot advances were sporadic. A major complaint from fans this season has been that Lost has spent too much time wandering in circles. That definitely wasn't the case tonight. The writers remained a little cagey, and played plenty coy in places, but the major reveals and answered questions more than make up for that, and fans should feel confident about the way Lost will wrap up.

"What They Died For" had some issues to be sure. The dialog in places, especially in the early scene with Jack stitching up Kate and the way too on-the-nose conversation between alternate-universe Ben and Rousseau, was heavy-handed and literal to the point where it was almost insulting to the audience's intelligence. But then again Lost tends to ditch its subtlety when it doubts itself.
