Sweeney Touts Interactive ‘Lost’ in CES Speech

In the new season of “Lost” premiering Jan. 21, expect a lawyer to show up at the home of Kate Austen and demand a sample of blood. Someone—he can’t say who—wants to know if Kate is actually related to her son Aaron.

If you want to know more, you’ll have to tune in, but those details were shared during Disney Media Networks Co-Chair and Disney-ABC Television Group President Anne Sweeney’s speech at the Consumers Electronics Show in Las Vegas today. She showed a three-minute sneak peek of the new season of the popular show.

She also highlighted ABC’s plans to develop a widget powered by Intel for the final season of “Lost” next year to bring the show to additional devices.

As the first network to strike a deal with iTunes more than three years ago, Ms. Sweeney said ABC will continue to seek out alternative distribution venues for its shows, but will do so with a focus on the user interface.

“We need to build great user interfaces,” she said. “One of the reasons so many of us have iPhones and iPods is Apple gets this fundamental fact—the user interface is intuitive, it’s user-friendly and it’s easy to personalize your experience with it.”

She added, “Our challenge is figuring out the best ways to use these new platforms to stay relevant to the increasingly demanding and mobile lives of our viewers. Especially in this economy, consumers are turning to brands, services and devices that make their lives easier and allow them to do things they couldn’t do before.”

Naveen Andrews Wins Sole Custody of Son

Lost’s Naveen Andrews was awarded physical and legal custody of his 3-year-old son Wednesday in L.A Superior Court, according to TMZ.com.

The boy’s mother, Elena Eustache, had taken him without L.A. County permission after accusing Andrews’ girlfriend, actress Barbara Hershey, of practicing witchcraft and poisoning her son, according to TMZ.

But a judge didn’t buy her claims.

Under Wednesday’s ruling, the boy is now allowed to travel to Hawaii — where Andrews films Lost — and can be accompanied either by the actor or Hershey. Andrews’ lawyer, Laura Wasser, also asked the judge to order Eustache to undergo psychiatric testing.

After the hearing, Eustache (who sat on the court steps bawling) told TMZ: “I can’t believe celebrities and their money. They always get what they want.”

A full hearing is set for next month.

What to Watch: 10 Most Exciting Winter TV Premieres

1. Lost (Jan. 21): Lost returns in less than three weeks, and the world will be a better place for it. Season five means it’s time to go back to the Island, but there’s more than a little gridlock on the road back: The nature of time and space itself is an obstacle (the Island is missing!), not to mention Charles Widmore’s diabolical schemes and the internal strife between the Oceanic Six members. The good news is that for the first hour of the premiere, Sawyer is shirtless. If you haven’t seen it yet, check out our past Lost season-five coverage, including two fascinating sneak peek videos with Kate and Aaron and Jack and Ben!

EW’s Review of LOST’s Season 5 Premiere

EW’s Review of LOST’s Season 5 Premiere

Yesterday. 9:30 a.m. I was moments away from spending the day at Disneyland, the happiest place on Earth, when a certain EW colleague, whose name rhymes with Shmichael Slausiello, tipped me off that the first two episodes of Lost’s fifth season were now available to lucky media dorks like me for reviewing. Suddenly, the House of Mouse (and really, any other locale that wasn’t my laptop DVD player) was not the happiest place on Earth, but the most hellishly inconvenient. ARRRRGHHH! A long day of standing in life-stealing, long-ass lines became even more criminal and assish as I counted the minutes before I could rip into the most awesome of delayed Christmas presents. (Although I must say, The Pirates of the Carrbbean — a masterpiece of experiential narrative on any other day — was almost compelling enough to distract me from my furious angst. ALMOST.)

Finally, at 10 p.m. last night, with exhausted family passed out, I sat down and broke the seven-month Lost fast with the first two helpings of season 5. Both went down well, one more so than the other. A few thoughts in advance of a more thorough discussion to come, once the episodes air and we’re all on the same page.

Some Spoilers to follow
