Man who took Lost star hostage pleads guilty

The man who took 'Lost' star Josh Holloway and his wife hostage faces up to 30 years in jail.
Ruben Royce, 23, broke into to the couple's Hawaiian home in October 2005 and threatened them before making off with their wallets and car.
Royce pleaded guilty to 33 criminal charges in a Honolulu court, including three other robberies, as part of a prosecution bargain that could see him sentenced to up to 30 years behind bars.
He was convicted last month of another robbery, as well as charges including reckless endangerment and firearms violations. Royce said he had no idea at the time that Holloway, who plays Sawyer in the series, was famous.
"Basically, he was driving around looking for fancy cars, nice homes and picked certain ones for home invasion," said prosecutor Maurice Arrisgado.
He said Holloway and his wife had been frightened by Royce.
"They thought they were going to get killed," Arrisgado said. "This guy was very vicious and had no hesitation in pointing the gun in their face."
Royce will be sentenced on 29 April.

Hype Williams - Nerd To Hit The Big Screen

Hip-hop trio N.E.R.D. are teaming up with director HYPE WILLIAMS for their first feature film.

The She Wants To Move hitmakers are set to hit the big screen later this year (Dec08) in a project that will document everything from the group's recording process to their touring.

And frontman Pharrell Williams is likening the project to The Beatles' 1964 movie outing.

Speaking on New York radio station Hot 97, he says, "The movie is going to be like the Beatles Hard Day's Night. It's a full length film. It's for our fans."

N.E.R.D., who are currently supporting Kanye West on his Glow In The Dark Tour, will release their third album Seeing Sounds on 10 June (08), with the film to follow in December (08).
