ABC says the final season of "Lost" will begin in February with a night devoted to the drama filmed in Hawai'i.

On Feb. 2, an hourlong recounting of the storyline so far will air, followed by the two-hour season premiere.

"Lost" — whose stars include Matthew Fox and Evangeline Lilly — will move to its regular 9 p.m. time slot the following week (Feb. 9), the network said yesterday.

'BLIND SIDE' PREMIERE A SCHOOL FUNDRAISER

Actress Sandra Bullock walked the red carpet in New Orleans yesterday for an evening premiere of her film "The Blind Side."

Bullock, who recently bought a home in New Orleans, hosted the event with film studio Warner Bros. to raise money for Warren Easton High School, which was flooded by Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Bullock already has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the school for scholarships, new band uniforms, auditorium renovations and a new health clinic.

The movie, which also stars country singer Tim McGraw and opens nationwide today, is based on a true story of a poor teen recruited to play college football.

REALITY ENDS MONDAY FOR JON & KATE

You might say our national nightmare is over. Or is it just a TV series?

TLC's reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8" will end its spectacular but stormy run Monday night.

In its final hour, Jon and Kate Gosselin, the estranged parents of young twins and sextuplets, will venture on separate outings with the kids. (Jon will take them to a fire station. With Kate, they visit a local dairy farm.) Individually, each newly single parent will reflect on what the past has meant and what the future might hold.

And that will be that, says TLC.

The feuding couple's recent split came to dominate the series and fueled a firestorm of tabloid coverage.

It was all good for ratings, of course.
