The show will have a special sneak preview during Warner Brothers' panel for Batman: The Brave and the Bold at Comic-Con on Friday morning in San Diego. Based on
a popular DC Comics title which ran from 1998 to 2003, Young Justice features a band of teenage sidekicks ~ Robin, Superboy, Aqualad, Kid Flash, Artemis
and Miss Martian ~ who are eager to hit the superhero big-time, much to the dismay of their mentors in the Justice League of America.
"This is a show about the lives of the young heroes and their need to prove themselves to their mentors, their families, to each other and most of all to themselves," says
producer Greg Weisman.

Lowe's character is technically an adult, but his secret identity is 10-year-old Billy Batson, who magically transforms into Captain Marvel, aka Shazam, the world's
mightiest mortal. His powers include the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and the speed
of Mercury ~ note that the gods' initials spell out Shazam. Because he's really a kid, Captain Marvel will bond more easily with the younger heroes. Weisman says
that Shazam will be an important recurring character in the series, so this could ultimately involve multiple episodes for Lowe.
ROB LOWE JOINS JEREMY PIVEN
AND THOMAS JANE IN THRILLER
By Jeff Sneider
TheWrap.com
July 20, 2010
New Parks and Recreation funnyman Rob Lowe will join HBO stars Jeremy Piven and Thomas Jane in Mark Pellington's
indie thriller I Melt With You, the actor's publicist has confirmed to TheWrap.
|
The film, which follows the interconnecting lives of four men and focuses on the pain of the modern male psyche, deals
with mortality, aging and friendship.
Pellington came up with the dark story for the micro-budget film with screenwriter Glenn Porter.
Lowe will play a doctor struggling with deep personal loss and a growing drug addiction ~~ a far cry from the comedic
characters he played in Wayne's World and Tommy Boy.
Rob Cowan and Norm Reiss are producing, while Pellington and Porter will exec produce with Neil LaBute, Heidi Levitt,
Aaron Gilbert and Jane.
|
The privately financed film was packaged by UTA and will cost less than $1 million, which is a bargain for a cast like this.
Production begins next month near Big Sur in Northern California.
Pellington previously directed two great thrillers ~~ The Mothman Prophecies and Arlington Road. His most
recent films were U2 3D and Henry Poole is Here.
Lowe just made a deal with Henry Holt to write a memoir about acting and fatherhood titled "Stories I Only Tell My Friends".
He's also reportedly involved in the formation of a $500 million media fund with Colony Capital's Tom Barrack.

Lowe is represented by WME and Brillstein Entertainment Partners, while Pellington is represented by UTA and 3 Arts.
ROB LOWE SAYS DEAL TO BUY MIRAMAX
IS 'REAL, IT'S ON, IT'S HAPPENING'
By Kate O'Hare
Zap2It.com
July 20, 2010
Monday (July 19) night, speaking on the set of Showtime's Californication Season 4, on which he is guest-starring as
eccentric movie actor Eddie Nero, Rob Lowe talked to Zap2it about his involvement in a consortium looking to buy Miramax
Films from Walt Disney Company.
"We are right now in very heavy negotiating with Disney," says Lowe, "and we're governed by all these nondisclosures, so
really all I can say it's that it's real, it's on, it's happening. I think it's going to close, and it's going to be really,
really exciting."
Founded in 1979 by brothers Bob and Harvey Weinstein, the art house/indie film studio became part of Disney in 1993, where
the Weinsteins operated it until leaving in 2005.
Recently, reports surfaced that Santa Monica-based Colony Capital had made a bid for Miramax, as part of an ongoing series
of negotiations that reportedly has also involved Hollywood financier David Bergstein and Los Angeles construction magnate
Ron Tutor.
Lowe has partnered with Colony's Tom Barrack with the goal of creating a new media venture. He also has business with investors
in Italy, where Lowe had been just prior to returning to Los Angeles to film these scenes for Californication.
"One of the things I love about this business is when artists can become businesspeople, and businesspeople can become
artists. You look at Herb Alpert, trumpet player, who starts A&M Records. You look at Jon Peters, a hairdresser, who [
became a producer] and made some of the greatest movies in the world. Ron Howard, who was Opie, creates Imagine Films.
"There's a great tradition of that. It's going to be a fun chapter for me, but I'm not going to ever stop acting."
As for the time frame on closing the deal, Lowe says, "Fast."
ROB LOWE CLOSING MEGA-DEAL ...
IN BOARD SHORTS
TMZ.com
July 1, 2010
When it comes to closing $500 million super-deals to form massive new media companies, board rooms are
sooooo overrated ~~ board shorts, however ... right up Rob Lowe's alley.
Rob and potential business partner ~~ mega-real estate investor Tom Barrack (the Chairman and CEO of
Private Equity House Colony Capital, which co-owns Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch, along with the
MJ estate) ~~ met up for an afternoon meeting aboard a yacht off the coast of Italy earlier today.
We're told the two are now "far along" on a deal to create "a multi-platform media company, similar to DreamWorks".
Rob and Tom Barrack Aboard a Yacht in Italy
A few days before, Rob went to dinner at the C London Restaurant in London with Barrack, Flavio Briatore, a major Formula One
player, David Blaine and Giuseppe Cipriani ~~ the owner of the restaurant, to discuss this "major, major, major media deal".
We're told the deal involves, among other things, TV, movie and Internet production.
Earlier in the day, Rob and Tom Barrack had attended a party at Morton's Club in London's Berkeley Square.
The party was given by German tennis star Boris Becker to celebrate the 25th anniversary of his first Wimbledon singles
title which he won as a 17-year-old boy.
The following day, June 30, 2010, Rob went back to Wimbledon to see Roger Federer play in his quarter-final men's singles match.
Unfortunately, Roger was beaten in four sets.

LOWE'S D.C. FEVER
By Michael Schneider
June 25, 2010
Variety.com
Like an incumbent back on the campaign trail, Rob Lowe can't get enough of Washington.
The actor, who starred on The West Wing and played a senator on Brothers and Sisters, has partnered with reality producers 44 Blue (Lock Up) to produce a new
nonfiction series set in D.C.
Potomac Fever will center on real-life aspiring politicos as they look to move up the ranks of power in the nation's capital. Lowe will exec produce through his
Loweprofile shingle.
"I've always had an affinity for the adventures of young Washingtonians," Lowe said. "They live and love at the center of world power. I can't wait to tell their stories."
44 Blue co-owner and exec VP Stephanie Drachkovitch noted that Lowe has not only played politicians on camera, but he's also been involved in many issues through the
years -- including testifying in front of a House panel on energy and global warming issues.

Rob testifies in DC on climate issues
|
"He's the perfect partner to help us tell the stories of ambitious young people who are trying to navigate the drama of real-life politics and power in one of the most
exciting cities in the world," Drachkovitch said.
Lowe recently guested (and will continue to recur) on NBC's politics-tinged sitcom Parks and Recreation, and will guest on the fourth season of Showtime's
Californication.

ROB LOWE MAY RETURN TO BROTHERS & SISTERS
By Lisa McGarry
June 18th, 2010
GossipBlender.com
Rob Lowe has admitted that he may be able to return to Brothers and Sisters in the future. Lowe left the hit
TV show earlier this year and his character Robert McCallister appeared to have been killed off in the season
finale.
However, Lowe asked show fans not to write him off just yet, he told Entertainment Weekly.
“I think the show will take place a year to the day of McCallister’s death [when it returns next season],” he said.
“And so there’s some talk about do you flash back and see some of the things that McCallister was up to.”

He added, "[Executive Producer] David Marshall Grant and I have an idea for some really cool stuff. I don’t know if
everybody will sign off on it or not, but there is a pathway to do it. It will look like one thing and be revealed as another.”

IS ROB LOWE CHANNELING BRAD PITT?
People.com
May 25, 2010
Double take!
Who's that guy with the scruffy beard and knit cap? Not who you might think at first. For a new role on Showtime's Californication
Rob Lowe has taken a hirsute turn, sporting some facial hair that's awfully similar-looking to Brad Pitt's much-buzzed-over beard.
So, is the actor paying specific homage to Pitt? Hard to say, though according to reports Lowe, who is currently appearing on NBC's Parks and Recreation,
will be "playing an insane Oscar winner," as he writes on his official Twitter page. Adds Lowe: "Too bad I don't know any." (For the record, Pitt has
never won an Oscar, but has been nominated twice).
Showtime says Lowe, in his three-episode arc, plays unpredictable mega-watt movie star 'Eddie Nero', a contender to portray David Duchovny's Hank
in the movie version of his blockbuster novel.

According to Lowe, shooting with Californication star Duchovny has been a positive experience. "Character is SO fun," Lowe Tweeted. "DD

ROB SAYS GOOD-BYE
DigitalSpy.com
May 18, 2010
Rob Lowe has explained his decision to leave Brothers &
Sisters.
The actor, who played Senator Robert McCallister, announced
that he had decided to move on from the ABC show in January and has since landed
a role in Parks And Recreation.
"I've been able to go from one
thing to something that was also good," he told Entertainment Weekly.
"And sometimes if you stay too long, you're not able to do
that."
Lowe added that Brothers & Sisters will not
examine politics so much in the future, saying: "When the decision is made that
[the network] doesn't like politics and they don't want to do politics, it
becomes hard to play a sitting United States senator. The show will be markedly,
markedly different next year. And the network was kind enough to give me a heads
up."
|
Rob with Dave Annable,
his co-star in Brothers & Sisters
|
However, he explained that he has loved filming
Brothers & Sisters at the same time as Parks And
Recreation.
"I've been going back and forth, and they literally
could not be more different," he said. "To be able to do both in the same day is
the kind of challenge that actors dream of ~~ to be on a drama that's as finely
observed as Brothers & Sisters and then to come over to
Parks, which is literally the most flat-out comedy I've done in a long
time. It's pretty cool."
Meanwhile, Brothers & Sisters
showrunner David Marshall Grant admitted that he will miss working with
Lowe.
"Rob was one of the people I loved to write for," he said. "The
relationship between Kitty [Calista Flockhart] and Robert was very popular.
Change is always good, I guess. We'll have to see what happens next."
* * * * * * * *
It was Wayne’s World that first showed us that Rob Lowe could be a funny guy,
and he’s backing that up with a special extended guest appearance on Parks and
Recreation, which started last week.
Lowe plays a state auditor who comes to Pawnee to fix the city’s broken budget, and he’s
hilarious as a clueless health freak who does chin-ups in the office, takes vitamins the
size of Nilla wafers, and modestly believes he’ll be the first person to live to be 150.
Lowe will be on P&R for the next seven episodes, which will hopefully give the
underrated NBC show a ratings boost.

ROB LOWE'S A TRAVELING INDIANAPOLIS COLTS FAN
by Nekesa Mumbi Moody
AP Music Writer
February 6, 2010
MIAMI BEACH, Fla - Rob Lowe isn't just another celebrity who scored a Super Bowl ticket. He's a dedicated follower of the Indianapolis Colts
who has the mileage to prove it.
The actor watched the Colts win their playoff games for their Super Bowl berth, and now he and his family are going to celebrate
by going to the championship.
Said Lowe: "My son Johnny is an even bigger Colts fan than I am. So we couldn't fly all the way to Indiana, twice in a row, two weeks in a row,
and not come here."
Lowe is on the ABC drama Brothers & Sisters, but announced last month he was leaving the series. He said his departure is bittersweet.
"It's one of the greatest casts I've ever worked with. Everybody loves everybody; I'm gonna miss that a ton. But we're going out on a great note," he said.
As far as speculation that he might soon get his own series, he said: "I'm keeping my options open. It's the first time in a long time not having something that I
need to go and do, so I don't know. It's a big adventure, we'll see."

Rob will be leaving Brothers & Sisters
at the end of this season.
We all wish him well in whatever he chooses to do next.

THE INVENTION OF LYING
OUT ON DVD
|
The Invention of Lying is an engaging mixture of clever ideas and missed opportunities. Ricky Gervais’ “Lying” takes place in an alternate universe where people
only speak the truth. When a self-loathing screenwriter discovers the inherent ability to fib, he creates religion, competes with his rival (Rob Lowe) and romances the
beauty (Jennifer Garner) who’s out of his league. While not a straight-up comedy, “Lying” intrigues as a morality play set in an interesting fantasy land. Its satirical
takes on the pros and cons of organized religion hit the targets. Also available on Blu-ray, “Lying” boasts four bonus features, a Making-Of reel, a 10-minute podcast,
additional scenes, and outtakes.

COLTS-RAVENS GAME
BRINGS OUT THE CELEBS
By Kathy Knightlinger

January 19, 2010
|
Celebrity watchers had a lot of eye candy downtown Indianapoliz last weekend, even if they didn't have tickets to the Indianapolis Colts' AFC divisional-round playoff
victory over the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday.
|
Actor Rob Lowe returned to the city and brought his 14-year-old son, Johnny, who is apparently quite the Peyton Manning
fan. The father-son pair stayed at the swanky Conrad Indianapolis, and Lowe had dinner at Indy's St. Elmo Steak House not just once, but twice.
|
|
|
Friday, he dropped in with guitar great Stephen Stills and champion boxer Tommy "Hitman" Hearns, according to St. Elmo co-owner Craig Huse.
After the Colts' win Saturday, Lowe returned to the Illinois Street restaurant with his son and the Manning family, Huse said.
|
|
Stills, Lowe and Hearns ~~ who are friends of Colts owner Jim Irsay's ~~ watched the game from a Colts suite, as did Hoosier rocker John Mellencamp and NFL Commissioner
Roger Goodell. Chris Gahl, associate director of communications for the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, who has a real talent for being at the right place
at the right time, ran into Lowe in the Conrad's lobby Saturday. Gahl was chatting with Johnny when the former West Wing star ~~ who's currently on Brothers & Sisters
~~ showed up, sporting a white Colts hat.

ROB HONORS VETERANS
WWII in HD Premiers on Sunday, November 15
ereleases.com
November 11, 2009
DOYLESTOWN, Pa., Nov. 11, 2009 — WWII in HD is the first-ever World War II documentary presented in full, immersive HD color.
Interviews with war veterans and thousands of hours of rare color footage were gathered from a two-year worldwide search.
The series tells the story of the war through the eyes of 12 Americans who lived it. It’s narrated by Emmy Award winner Gary
Sinise and voiced by Justin Bartha, Rob Corddry, Tim DeKay, Mark Hefti, James Kyson Lee, Ron Livingston, LL Cool J, Rob Lowe,
Josh Lucas, Jason Ritter, Amy Smart, and Steve Zahn.
WWII in HD is a new approach to war documentary filmmaking. With a merging of genres, it’s a war documentary mixed with a feature
film and a drama television series. “Everything is in-the-moment. The battles are as real as they can be, creating a visceral
experience. This is presented as a billion-dollar Hollywood epic but better, because it’s real. We see what they saw and we hear
the soldiers’ thoughts through the voices of Hollywood’s top talents as their stories develop,” stated Frederic Lumiere, producer
and director of WWII in HD. “The contemporary interviews with the veterans are each treated like a scene in a film. The aim is to
keep the viewer captivated.”
WWII in HD was produced by Lou Reda Productions with Executive Producers Lou Reda, Scott Reda and Matt Ginsburg; Producer Liz
Reph; and Producer/Director Frederic Lumiere.
The 10-hour series will premiere over five consecutive nights from Sunday-Thursday, November 15-19, 2009 at 9-11 p.m. EST on
History Channel.

THE DENTALIST
True-Crime Tale of a Suicide That Wasn't
By Linda Stasi
NYPost.com
November 5, 2009
After too long a stretch, TV is getting back to my favorite scripted dramas ~~ true crime, in all its twisted gory.
For one thing, no writer, no matter how imaginative, can ever hope to make up the kinds of elaborate murder schemes real people
come up with in real life.
And, right now, nobody does scripted true crime better than Lifetime Movie Network. For one thing, they are adapting their movies
from books by the queen of true crime, former Seattle cop Ann Rule, who practically invented the genre.
On Saturday night, the network begins a flight of Rule-adapted original movies with Too Late To Say Goodbye, the story of
Jenn and Bart Corbin, Doctor Corbin to you. They are a perfectly perfect young up-and-coming couple who (this is always necessary
have everything a couple could want: beautiful kids, a gorgeous house and plenty of dough.
However, the handsome Dr. Corbin (Rob Lowe), a dentist, is obsessed not just with living a big lifestyle, but making sure
everyone else knows it -- driving the right car, living in the right neighborhood, having the right wife and keeping his physique
in tip-top shape.
Lowe is terrific as the self-absorbed Corbin who you will want to push off the treadmill every time he smugly starts working out.
Wife Jenn (Stephanie Von Pfetten), meantime, is suspicious that he is having an affair with his dental assistant, and she begins
an online "affair" with a man she's never met.
The seemingly perfect man, Chris, turns out to be anything but what she imagined. (If you don't know the story, this is a spoiler
alert: skip the next sentence.)
Turns out her ideal man is actually her ideal woman, a lesbian who's just broken up with her girlfriend. The dentist discovers
her other "man" online and files for divorce.
But before the divorce can happen, Jenn is found in her bedroom, dead from a seemingly self-inflicted gunshot wound. But did she
do it to herself, or did the mysterious Chris, who lived in another state, pay her a visit?
Or maybe it was the good and handsome dentist who traded in his drill for a gun? Jenn's sister Heather (Lauren Holly) wouldn't
let the cops rest on this one and pursued every lead and made sure cops did as well, until her sister's real killer was arrested.
(Hint: It turns out the real killer was spurned once before and with similar, deadly results.)
And here's the real story...
One morning in December 2004, Jennifer Corbin's 7-year-old son found his mother dead from a gunshot wound to the
head on her bedroom floor.
Though it looked like suicide, Corbin's son told police that his father Barton, a well-to-do dentist, killed his
mother.
As police in the Atlanta suburb began investigating, 150 miles away, Augusta, Georgia. police re-opened a 14-year-old cold case ~~
Corbin's girlfriend from dental school, Dolly Hearn, who also died of a gunshot wound to the head.
Days before his 2006 trial was due to begin, cops found evidence that would have sent Corbin to Georgia's death chamber. He
pleaded guilty in exchange for a life sentence.
BROTHERS & SISTERS:
AN INTERVIEW WITH ROB LOWE
By Lisa McGarry
UnrealityPrimetime
October 22, 2009
Rob Lowe and Calista Flockhart play Robert McCallister and Kitty Walker in the award-winning show, Brothers & Sisters.
With the season three DVD now released, Lowe discusses his work on the show and the relationship between these two characters,
as well as his thoughts on fatherhood and striking the perfect balance between work and family…
What do you enjoy the most about your work on Brothers & Sisters?
“My favorite part is my character. I love my character ~~ and that’s a good thing because when you think about the hours we put
into the show, I spend more time playing this character than being myself. It’s very rare in today’s media that you see a real
man. They can be infantilized. They’re basically glorified teenagers in men’s bodies, or they’re completely feminized and they’re
there as a whipping boy for a woman. You see all these archetypes, but you very rarely see a fully formed man who’s complicated
and flawed and loving and funny and powerful. You just don’t see that very often, but that’s exactly what McCallister is.”
What do you think of Kitty and Robert’s relationship in season three?
|
“I think it’s very sad because they’re growing apart. I think that everybody ~~ including the writers, Calista and I ~~ have been
doing a good job of showing a snapshot of a marriage where two people are growing apart. I think it’s extremely sad because there
isn’t really one reason that leads them to grow apart ~~ it’s just something that’s happening.
|
|
These are two people whose
priorities aren’t exactly what they were before. People can choose sides, but I think it’s much more interesting that there is no
real right or wrong to their relationship. It’s just very sad.”
Are you glad the show portrays a just-married couple with a lot of problems? It feels much more real than the ‘happily ever after’
couples audiences usually see on television and in movies…
“I do like that. I honestly believe that this is a very realistic portrayal of being married. Mind you, sometimes it feels like
we play Robert and Kitty’s relationship like they’ve been together for 10 years. Calista and I are both in long-term, comfortable
relationships in our personal lives and that sometimes rubs off on our characters. I think we need to add some more of that
first-year magic and passion to their relationship. That’s something we’re going to work on.”
There are a lot of emotional storylines in season three. Do you find it difficult to switch off at the end of the day and not
take these emotions home with you?
“Usually, I don’t ~~ but I was really bummed out during the heart attack scenes in season three. It really affected me when I had
to shoot my character falling down like that. It made me sad. Usually I’m fine at leaving work behind when I leave the studio,
but that was tough.”
Did you enjoy working with the new babies on the show?
“It was wonderful. McCallister has two kids that are older and I think he’s humoring Kitty in a way with the new baby in season
three ~~ but I’m a big softy. When they put the baby in my hands on the show, I always think, “Oh, wow. Look at the baby. That’s
so cute.”
Are you a family man?
“Very much so. There was a time in my life where I wouldn’t think twice about going to Afghanistan or anywhere to shoot a movie
for six months. But today, I’m not 20 anymore. I’ve got a very different life. I love my boys, I love my wife and I love my life.
I want to find ways to make it work, to lead the life I want, so I try to find balance.”
Is it difficult to find that balance?
“I think I’ve found a great balance in working on Brothers & Sisters. At this time in my life it would be very difficult
to be in a show where I was in every single scene. I wouldn’t be able to lead the life that I lead and I wouldn’t be able to have
the relationships that I have with my children and my wife. It feels wonderful that we are in a show like this because we are
surrounded by great actors and the show’s doing well ~~ but we are also able to live the life that we want to live.”
Does this mean you’re not as ambitious as you used to be?
“I just know I want a balanced life. Children change you. They really do. I don’t want to be away from my children, so I’ve got
the perfect job. Balancing your career and your life is always an issue for anybody, but I’m happy where I am today. My
priorities have changed ~~ but it helps when everybody around you is on the same page. Everybody here has the same priorities on
the show. They want to do really, really good work. That’s first priority. But they also want to do it in a way that’s easy.”
What makes season three of Brothers & Sisters stand out?
“I honestly think this is our best season. Without a doubt. I’ve really enjoyed shooting this season and I think there’s a lot of
good work on the show.”
Why would you recommend the season three DVD?
“Because you can watch the season three DVD all the way through ~~ like a two-hour movie. This is a great show for DVD because
there is so much is going on. There are so many characters and so many plots, but you don’t have to reset your mind if you watch
it all in one fell swoop. I find more and more people are watching it this way.”
Is McCallister based on any real-life politicians?
“I base McCallister on a couple of men in my life who are achievers at a very high level. They are very complicated guys and they
are a handful. To get where they want to be there is this sort of selfishness about them. They need that to succeed.”
Do you think you would make be a good politician?
“Nobody would have me.”
But have you ever considered getting into politics?
“I don’t rule it out because I love politics. That’s why I’m drawn to these roles. But who knows what the future holds? I love
acting and I don’t want to give that up, so I’m sticking with this for now.”
ROB'S SEASON 4 BROTHERS & SISTERS PICTURES
We think these new photographs speak for themselves!
ROB LOWE AVOIDS ALCOHOL AT ALL COSTS
Starpulse.com
October 6, 2009
Recovering alcoholic Rob Lowe refuses to drink even a sip of wine, fearing he could relapse at any moment.
|
The Bad Influence actor, who went to rehab in the 1980s to deal with substance abuse demons, has been sober for the last 19 years - but still avoids
alcohol so he isn't tempted to fall back into old habits.
When asked if he enjoys the occasional glass, Lowe tells Britain's Hello* magazine, "Never ever. For me, what works is early on I bought into
the very standard thing about sobriety. You either are an addict/alcoholic or you are not. Some people say, 'You were 26 years old, maybe it's different now.'
They may be right, but for me it's not worth finding out."
|
"At that moment it (sobriety) made all the difference in my life. I don't know that my life would be where it is today without it. And I love my life today.
So I look back thinking it's one of the greatest things I've ever done."
*NOTE: for the lucky people in the UK, this week's edition of Hello magazine, number 1093 dated October 12, 2009, has no fewer than NINE pages of photographs
and an interview with Rob and Sheryl at their beach house. It's a must-see!
ROB RENEWS AN OLD ACQUAINTANCE
Rob attended the Governor's Global Climate Summit 2 in Los Angeles last Friday, October 2, 2009 at the invitation of the Governor himself, Arnold Schwarzenegger. Rob was
asked by his good friend Arnold to introduce the former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair, who was speaking at the conference.
It wasn't the first time that Rob had met Tony, though. When Rob first arrived in London in July, 2005 for his five-month stint on the West End Stage
in A Few Good Men, Tony made a point of stopping by the Theatre Royal, Haymarket, where Rob was rehearsing his starring role as Lieutenant Daniel Kaffee,
to thank him for going ahead and bringing his family to London when the city had so recently suffered the tragic bombings of July 7. At the time, Rob said
that he was in his dressing room clad in his "tighty-whities" when Tony came to visit!
On this occasion, dress was rather more formal.

ROB LOWE TEASES ROMANCE
IN BROTHERS & SISTERS
Associated Press
Alicia Rancilio
September 24, 2009
TORONTO –- Sit tight, Brothers & Sisters fans. It looks like Rob Lowe and Calista Flockhart's characters are headed for a
make up not a break up.
Lowe, 45, plays Robert McCallister, a United States Senator, married to Flockhart's Kitty Walker. The pair hit the rocks last
season after they adopted a baby, Robert had a heart attack and Kitty almost had an affair.
Season 3 ended with the two separating but Lowe says things will change in the new season.
"Last season was the study of a disintegration of a marriage and we begin this year worlds apart," he said.
Lowe says a tragedy will strike early on that ultimately help bring the two together.
"It's going to be what they needed to try to put the pieces back together ... and pretty romantic," he said.
The fourth season of Brothers & Sisters premieres Sunday, September 27, 2009 at 10:00 p.m. CT/9:00 p.m. CT.
ROB LOWE ON PATRICK SWAYZE:
"HE LOVED LIFE"
Marc Malkin
E!Online.com
September 21, 2009
If ya haven't heard, the flick St. Elmo's Fire is being developed into a television dramedy series.
Rob Lowe, who costarred in the movie alongside Demi Moore, Emilio Estevez, Andrew McCarthy and others, says he wasn't aware of
the new project until we asked him about it yesterday at the Emmys.
But no biggie, because the Brat Pack flick actually isn't Lowe's top choice to be made for the small screen...
"Outsiders is the one they should be doing," Lowe said. "The Outsiders was always my favorite, particularly now
with the passing of Patrick Swayze."
Director Francis Ford Coppola's 1983 movie adaptation of S.E. Hinton's coming-of-age novel of the same name starred Lowe and
Swayze, along with Tom Cruise, C. Thomas Howell and Matt Dillon.

Looking down the red carpet, Lowe couldn't help but think of the late Dirty Dancing star.
"He would have loved this," Lowe said. "He loved life so much. He had a great life. He did love all this. He loved everything."
ROB SADDENED BY FRIEND'S DEATH
People.com
September 14, 2009
Actor Rob Lowe, who appeared with Swayze in The Outsiders and Youngblood gave an emotional tribute on the Red Carpet
at the Toronto International Film Festival, saying he had 'lost a brother'.
"Patrick lived a hundred lifetimes in one lifetime," adds Lowe. "He was an expert dancer, he wrote hit songs, he starred in hit movies,
he was an amazing horseman. I will remember him for that, but the thing I will remember him most for was his amazing love affair with
his wife Lisa. He was such an intense actor, so full of passion and vigor. He definitely made the most out of it. It's a sad day."

Rob Lowe remembered his friend and co-star Patrick Swayze on Monday night at the Toronto Film Festival.
The actor told ET, "Patrick lived a thousand lifetimes in one life. He played my brother twice, in The Outsiders
when I was 17, and then in Youngblood, so tonight I feel like I lost a
brother tonight."
Rob remembers Patrick Swayze
at the Toronto International Film Festival
Rob walked the red carpet along with Jennifer Garner, Ricky Gervais, and more celebs for the premiere of their new comedy,
The Invention of Lying.
Gervais co-wrote and co-directed the film, which tells the story of a writer who invents the world's first lie. He confessed
to ET, "The only time I ever lie is when someone invites me to something and I can't be bothered to go, so I say 'I'm working'
or 'No, I'm doing some work, a soup kitchen tonight.' 'No, I'm visiting the orphanage, so I can't come to your party.'"
Lowe adds, "My experience is most actors who are good, are horrible liars because what we do is bring truth to things."
The Invention of Lying hits theaters on October 2.

ROB IS PRETTY IN PINK
popgoesthenews.com
June 12, 2009
Students hanging around the University of Toronto campus today got a little taste of Hollywood as Rob Lowe filmed scenes for his
new TV movie, Too Late to Say Goodbye, outside Victoria College.
The 45-year-old Brothers & Sisters star got to flashback to the ‘80s for the scenes. Sporting a pink sweatshirt and white
visor with khaki shorts and boat shoes, Lowe seemed to be in good spirits as he chatted with crew members between takes. It was,
of course, the early ‘80s that Lowe rose to fame as a member of the “Brat Pack” and in films like The Outsiders, St. Elmo’s Fire
and About Last Night.
In the two-hour small screen flick ~~ based on Ann Rule’s best-selling novel ~~ Lowe co-stars with Lauren Holly, who was not on
set today. It will air in August on the U.S. cable channel Lifetime.
FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE.....
Here are a few photographs of Rob that you perhaps haven't seen in a while. Click

ROB LOWE: 'I COULD SEE THE FLAMES FROM MY BACKYARD'
Posted by ExtraTV Staff on May 11, 2009
The wildfires in Santa Barbara, California have burned down many homes in the region -- and longtime SB resident Rob Lowe partnered with Gov. Schwarzenegger
to lend support to fire victims.
"I could see the flames from my backyard... we were crossing our fingers," Lowe said at the University of California, Santa Barbara emergency shelter
during the Jesusita fire. The actor then praised the governor for his immediate attention to the blaze and the fire victims. "We've got the best governor
here in the United States showing his support... and making it all happen."
The damage to the area has been extensive. Kathy Ireland was forced to evacuate her home, and Oprah sent movers to pack up her mansion just in case.
"It's very sad... friends and neighbors... who've lost their whole lives... but it's also inspiring because you see this community coming together," said Schwarzenegger.
Investigators now believe that power tools being used to clear brush from the region may have sparked the fire. The blaze is now more than 55% contained.

ROB LOWE TO STAR IN TOO LATE TO SAY GOODBYE BASED ON BEST-SELLING NOVEL FROM ANN RULE
thefutoncritic.com
LOS ANGELES, April 22, 2009
This summer, the heat will reach a blistering high as Lifetime Movie Network debuts the movie adaptation of Ann Rule's best-selling novel, Too
Late to Say Goodbye. Rob Lowe (The West Wing, Brothers and Sisters) is set to headline in the project based on the true story of an outwardly charming
couple whose deceit and secret affairs result in fatal consequences. Too Late to Say Goodbye will premiere this August on Lifetime Movie Network, Lifetime's
sister network and the second highest rated women's channel.
ABOUT TOO LATE TO SAY GOODBYE
Jenn and Bobby Corbin (Lowe) appear to have the perfect marriage. Wedded bliss, though, is not always what it seems, as Jenn discovers Bobby's affair with a beautiful
co-worker. Distraught, Jenn turns to the Internet, where she makes a connection with a charming mystery man. When Jenn is found dead - apparently the result of a devastating
suicide - her loving sister insists that Jenn would never have willingly taken her own life and left her children without their mother. Could the killer be her husband, who
has some dark secrets of his own, or possibly her online suitor, who may not be exactly the person Jenn had imagined?

A MESSAGE FROM ROB.....
Dear Friends,
It continues to be a busy year. I am wrapping up Season 3 of Brothers and Sisters and awaiting the release of the movie I made with Ricky Gervais, Jennifer
Garner, and Tina Fey (This Side of the Truth).
I am blessed to say that all is well with my family and hope that you can say the same as well. We live in uncertain times and it’s good to remember
the unchanging gifts of life: love, health, and contribution of spirit.
If you’ve found your way to this page, you are a true fan and I thank you for that as well. I couldn’t have gotten through three decades of this crazy
business without that kind of support ..... thank you.
Love,
Rob
p.s. Please check out the 2-hour movie of Brothers and Sisters on March 1st. I am very proud of it.
LOWE "TOO TANNED" FOR TV BOSSES
express.co.uk
Monday, March 2, 2009
ROB LOWE has been ordered to stay out of the sun after his TV bosses objected to him becoming too tanned.
The actor, who plays Senator Robert McCallister on hit U.S. show Brothers & Sisters, lives in sunny Montecito, California with his wife and their teen sons and is
an avid sportsman. But the 44-year-old star had to give up playing outdoor sports with his family after his bosses were angered by his sunkissed complexion.
He says, "I got a phone call from the president of ABC who said, 'You're getting too dark. Seriously, stay out of the sun.' I go, 'I'm not tanning. I'm active. I surf
and I kayak.'" And Lowe blames his pale co-stars for him now having to slather on the sunscreen before stepping outside.
He adds, "If you stand next to Calista Flockhart, anybody's going to look like (singer) Harry Belafonte. I wear (sunscreen) over my entire face and a hat that has
a chin strap. I look like the biggest idiot."

RARE PHOTOS OF ROB FROM THE OUTSIDERS
We hope you enjoy these rare and delightful photos of a teenage Rob as the adorable Sodapop from the set of The Outsiders
in 1983.
VANITY FAIR PORTRAIT
h Magazine
October 2008
When actor Rob Lowe was photographed by Nan Goldin back in 1983, he had just completed his first two feature films ~ ~ The Outsiders and
Class. He was hovering on the cusp of super stardom.
"I was just out of high school" says the actor. "(I was) totally passionate about acting. This (Vanity Fair shoot) was the beginning of something exciting."
We are exposed to Lowe's budding sexual persona; the almost documentarian styling of the photo, combined with his casual reclining stance, makes the image feel almost
taboo in its presentation. This is but one example of the magazine's natural ability to identify future talent.
Graydon Carter comments further, "It means that right now, whether it's fame or infamy, you've done something that has affected the culture to such a degree
that you should be in our pages of Vanity Fair."
A PORTRAIT OF ROB
robkellyillustration.blogspot.com
January 2, 2009
Lowe was promoting a Christmas-themed TV special he was starring in, and that week the
magazine sent me two subjects ~~ Lowe and actress Jennifer Hudson ~~ because they
didn't know which interview was going to pan out.
I did them both, and while the Hudson one turned out fine, for
whatever reason this one really ended up something inspired.
I wanted to get in the Christmas angle, but didn't want anything with a tree, or Santa, or
anything like that ~~ so I went for something snowy and quiet, which felt
Christmassy to me but not cheesy.
Of course, word came down from the magazine that the Lowe interview was off, Hudson was on. *sigh*
This ended up being one of my all-time favorite pieces I ever did for Time Out, and I put it on my website anyway, I
was too proud of it to let it go to waste!
