OMAR'S SCAR

HOW HE GOT IT:
On his 25th birthday, he was involved in a barroom brawl that left him with a giant scar on his face. "The guy was hiding a razor in his mouth," Williams says, nonchalantly describing a tried-and-true street/prison technique in which tough guys (or gals) wrap sharp objects in cardboard or plastic, before inserting them into one of three orifices to avoid detection from the police or nightclub security guards. (They're stashed inside for safekeeping and removed as necessary.) "He was a street dude," Williams continues. "He had that edge up on me because I never walked with weapons. It just wasn't where I was at. But I'd been drinking, my perception was a little altered and he got me. It was a wake-up call. At the end of the day, I'm glad to be alive."

The Wire: Read Between The Lines

In the above ad, the title of the series is spelled out in newspaper clippings. But unlike many such ads, the clippings aren't written in fake gibberish text, nor do they consist entirely of "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog." Instead, each article is actually a piece specially written for the show, from the show's version of the Baltimore Sun — a clever nod to the fact that The Wire's fifth season is centered in the newsroom of that very paper.

New York Magazine deconstructs and makes some predictions. Click here!

My Boy Omar: On The Wire, Season 5

"It’s really dark and explosive. Everyone’s off the hook; no one trusts anyone. Everyone questions the way things are operating on the street level, in the police department, in the newsroom. Like McNulty, he’s way off the hook this year. He’s doing things that are totally outrageous, questioning authority, and trying to find the truth. He goes way off the deep end this year."

McNulty? Questioning authority???

THE RETURN!

Lost fans have long been dying to get back to the future, and their wait is almost over: ABC will debut season 4 of the island drama on Thursday, Jan. 31 at 9 p.m., in place of Grey's Anatomy.This scheduling move keeps the series out of harm's way (read: American Idol), and will also please tired fans who had trouble last season staying up Wednesday nights until 11 p.m. Eight episodes of the show will air on consecutive Thursdays (the other half of the season is still TBD because of the strike). -Entertaiment Weekly

THE LATEST ON KIEFER'S JAIL SENTENCE:

Jack Bauer has a new assignment: Laundry duty.

Kiefer Sutherland — who began serving a 48-day sentence in L.A.'s Glendale City Jail on December 5 for his second DUI conviction and for violating probation — "is still assigned to laundry duty and is now doing it on his own," Glendale PD PIO Officer John Balian told TMZ.com.

Balian said Sutherland, 40 — who was only allowed to bring two books for his jail stay — has yet to be assigned to kitchen duty.

And he hasn't received any visitors (except for his attorney) yet, either, TMZ reports. (He is entitled to two visitors a day for a 15-minute video conference chat each.)

Sutherland will be spending his birthday, Christmas and New Year's behind bars.

SO SAD!
