‘Lost’ Viewers Up

Nearly 12.1 million viewers tuned into to the “Lost” season premiere Tuesday night, which is 1 million more than the average weekly audience for last season, and under 1 million more than last year’s premiere.

What makes this increase more remarkable is that some fans who tuned in could have seen it earlier, thanks to an online leak, but chose to wait.

Flying in the face of going industry wisdom, “Lost” fanatics were so amped for the TV premiere they refused to watch leaked online material, according to the HollywoodReporter.com.

“Why spoil it now? I’d rather watch it in hi-def and surround sound than ruin the surprise and watch some (low-quality) video,” one fan wrote on social networking site MyWhiteNoise.com, after clips from the opening scene hit the Internet last Friday

Fox Plans More ‘Idol’ W/O Simon

Fox is near a deal to order more seasons of “American Idol” — with or without its most popular judge, Simon Cowell.

The network’s current contract with “Idol” producers 19 Entertainment and FremantleMedia extends through the end of the 2011. But the network is working on a new deal that includes three more seasons of “Idol,” though that number could change.

An announcement is expected to demonstrate Fox’s commitment to its top-rated series, even as “Idol” faces its biggest challenge yet.

The “Idol” franchise has been rocked by rumors that Cowell will depart the show after the upcoming season as he prepares to bring his hit UK music competition series “X-Factor” to the United States.

Cowell’s brother Tony announced Tuesday on his weekly podcast that Simon will leave “Idol” at the end of 2010. The move could have a double impact on “Idol” — the loss of a key personality to the series, and the addition of another music competition show on Fox that may lead to fewer “Idol” viewers.

But before anything is finalized at the network, the “Idol” judge still needs to sign his new contract with “Factor” owner Sony. Once that’s out of the way, Sony will allow Cowell to make a deal with Fox to bring “Factor” stateside.

Balloon Boy: People are pissed

Falcon Heene made international news after his parents reported the boy, 6, had floated away from the backyard of their Fort Collins home in a UFO-shaped helium balloon Oct. 15. A massive search ensued along the balloon’s approximately 50-mile flight path after the balloon landed empty near Denver International Airport.

The boy eventually emerged from hiding at his parents’ home Thursday evening, and the family immediately began granting television interviews. Within hours, however, the public’s support turned to skepticism and eventually to outright hostility Sunday when Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden declared the whole thing a hoax concocted by the Heene family to get themselves on television.

It worked.

Balloon Boy Folly, Mom Gets Attorney

Balloon Boy’s mom, Mayumi Heene, hired her own lawyer — as a friend described her as a “slave” to an abusive husband.

The lawyer, Lee Christian, met with Mayumi yesterday, then attempted to downplay speculation that her client is about to sell out her reality TV-obsessed hubby Richard.

“I don’t do divorces,” Christian told The Post. “I do criminal defense.”

Mayumi, 45, and Richard, 48, duped the world into believing their six-year-old son Falcon was floating away on a homemade balloon. Probers believe the couple, featured on the ABC show “Wife Swap,” hatched the bizarre plot to score their own reality series.

They are expected to be hit with felony conspiracy charges next week as the Federal Aviation Administration weighs civil penalties that up to $2 million.

Mayumi has displayed a tough persona on TV. But her pal, Barbara Slusser, told ABC, “Whatever [her husband] says, goes. She’s basically a slave. He kept her isolated and separated from everyone else.”
