Sure, Josh Holloway is king of the jungle on "Lost" -- but for our photog, Josh's most memorable role was as the dude who got his ass handed to him by Alicia Silverstone when he tried to steal her purse in Aerosmith's "Cryin'" video.


Josh was amused.

Josh Holloway's show "Lost" is currently on hiatus ... and apparently so are his trademark rock hard abs!



Wearing his best Kid Rock drag, the 39-year-old let it all hang out in Hawaii on Monday.

"Lost" comes back next year and hopefully so will Josh's washboard.

A guy in a banana hammock is the envy of women (and some men) everywhere -- by being one of Josh Holloway's personal "water dousers" during an extremely wet photo shoot in Hawaii.

Lauren Conrad was thisclose to eating it after a night out in Hollywood -- those heels can be rough!

Also in L.A.: Dustin Hoffman claimed paternity of Angelina's babies, Sharon Stone cackled at PETA's brainscan offer, Jessica Alba and Cash Warren were upstaged by a hilarious bystander, a security guard said Josh Hollaway should get a burqa, Star Jones looked good for her, JT and Jessica Biel smiled and K-Fed spent a night with his homies.

In NY: Our photog's voice cracked talking to Russell Simmons, Karina Smirnoff didn't like the idea of Lance Bass dancing with a guy on the show and Wyclef Jean showed up to a party in an electric blue pimp-mobile.

"Lost" star Josh Holloway went to the po po for help at LAX yesterday, trying to get an assist in keeping the paparazzi at bay.


Joshy boy got a big surprise, cause the cops ended up on Team Paps.

It's a long wait until February -- when "Lost" returns to the airwaves -- so here's a little Josh Holloway sighting to hold you over til then. You're welcome ladies.

Holloway took in the sights of Florence, Italy yesterday (nice to be off the island for a change, huh?) where the hunky star is quite popular. He just recently signed on to be the new face of Cool Water. He'll be starring in ads overseas beginning next month.

Trying to get any info out of a "Lost" castmember has always been like pulling teeth, and the stars on hand at the show's Season Two DVD release party were no different.

While Evangeline Lilly looked gorgeous in a green cheetah print dress and Josh Holloway spoke openly about what he'd expect to happen on the show, neither would confirm or deny any upcoming plot details. The only promise Holloway could make: "They always add another dimension ... I'm sure they're going to expand it one more level."

Jorge Garcia spilled what he'd like to happen for his character, Hurley, saying, "It'd be cool if he maybe stepped up to be more of a leader since there are a lot of people who are gone, not around right now."

Fans can find out for themselves when "Lost" premieres October 4th.
