Weller have you been?

Mod-rockers The Jam are to reform and tour but without frontman Paul Weller.

Bassist Bruce Foxton and drummer Rick Buckler have not toured together in 25 years but will play a 20-date tour from 2 May, beginning in Oxford.

The Jam sold over 14 million albums worldwide before their 1982 split. The new tour will feature a mix of old hits and new material.

Paul Weller, who has had a successful solo career, has been invited to join the tour but has not commented.

Foxton said: "This tour is deliberately intimate and something of a warm-up to our own material to launch later.

"The plan is for us to get close to the fans, have some fun and then follow with a larger tour in the autumn."

Buckler added: "Paul Weller has a fantastic solo career and is one of the UK's most talented songwriters.

"Paul is always welcome to join us for the reunion, but until then, we've got a tour and a new album to do!"

The tour will take in venues across the UK such as Aberdeen, Nottingham, Liverpool and Guildford, before ending in Portsmouth on 27 May.

The album is planned for release in the autumn.

Jet Li is the Mummy for Mummy 3

In related news, an IGN reader dropped us a line about The Mummy 3 and director Rob Cohen. "I attend Chapman University in Orange, CA where tonight Rob Cohen did a Q&A after a screening of his film Dragon:The Bruce Lee Story. During the Q&A, someone asked what he thinks about Jackie Chan and Jet Li. In his answer, he confirmed that Jet Li will play the Mummy in The Mummy 3, which he is directing. He also said that the film will take place in China and Michelle Yeoh will also be in the film. The biggest bombshell was that the film's protagonist will not be Brenden Fraser, but rather his character's son, now 22 years-old. Also, Jet Li will be the head Mummy in a group of Mummies that were the Teracotta army."

Lost Move Hurts Ratings

Darkhorizons report: A later time slot and fan frustration over ABC's "Lost" is seeing the hit show undergoing the inevitable erosion that comes with serials that drag out the action too long.

Wednesday's 10pm episode pulled in 12.8 million viewers, down two million viewers from last week's return from a three-month hiatus, and a new series low for the show.

Whilst much of the audience, including myself, remain very loyal to the show - the inevitable frustration over the fact that mysteries simply aren't being answered or dragged out too long are taking their toll.

Whilst the producers talked of setting an end point for the series last month, no further word on when such an end point will occur has been discussed.

It also means the show joins the club alongside Desperate Housewives and Battlestar Galactica as third season serials suffering in the ratings, despite better notices for their content this year than their previous seasons.

First Guests Announced at Celebration IV

"Official Pix is proud to announce Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) with our first round of guest announcements for Celebration IV! Carrie will be joined by many fan favorites and many first time Celebration signers including: Kenny Baker: R2-D2, Lightning Bear: Scout Trooper, Stormtrooper, Paul Blake: Greedo, Richard Bonehill: Snow/Stormtrooper, Mike Carter: Bib Fortuna, Mike Edmonds: Logray, Ugnaught, Garrick Hagon: Biggs Darklighter, Gerald Home: Tessek, Mon Calamari Officier, Richard LeParmentier: Admiral Motti, Dave Prowse: Darth Vader, and Tim Rose: Admiral Ackbar."
