NEW YORK (AP) - After years of making doilies and desserts, Martha Stewart plans to create something on a grander scale: a new facility at Mount Sinai Hospital.

Stewart, to mark her mother's 91st birthday, pledged $5 million to fund the creation of the Martha Stewart Center for Living at the Manhattan hospital.

She announced the donation after whipping up a carrot cake for her mother on the nationally syndicated "how to" series, "Martha."

Stewart's mother, Martha Kostyra, was in the audience when the agreement was announced with Dr. Brent Ridge, who will head the new center.

The facility will provide medical treatment and care, while operating as a think tank to address problems facing the elderly.

"What we are really interested in is the art of aging gracefully and well, and staying healthy as long as we can," said Stewart, who recently completed her house arrest for lying to authorities about a 2001 stock sale.

HONOLULU (AP) - Actress Michelle Rodriguez is returning to ABC's hit castaway drama "Lost," but even she doesn't know what the future holds for her character.

In a flashback scene on the season finale, Rodriguez played Ana-Lucia Cortez, a passenger on doomed Oceanic flight No. 815, who flirted with Jack, played by Matthew Fox, at an airport bar in Sydney, Australia.

"I don't know what the writers have in store for me," Rodriguez said. "That's why I like it so much. Maybe I don't want to know."

Rodriguez first caught the attention of movie audiences as a boxer in 2000's "Girlfight." She's also starred in "S.W.A.T.," "Resident Evil," "Blue Crush" and "The Fast and the Furious."

"Lost" begins its second season on Wednesday.

ATLANTA (AP) - Motley Crue lead singer Vince Neil is recovering from a leg injury after slipping off stage during a performance.

The band was about five songs into the concert Friday night when Neil leaned over to sing along with the audience and slipped off stage, said police spokeswoman Sylvia Abernathy.

"I just felt something snap in my leg," Neil wrote on the band's Web site. "I just couldn't go on."

The band was forced to end the concert early. Neil was treated at Piedmont Hospital and released Saturday, hospital spokeswoman Diana Lewis said.

The band said on its Web site that Neil partially tore part of his calf muscle. He planned to perform on Sunday night in Memphis, Tenn., and no shows were being canceled, the band said on its Web site.

The 1980's glam band recently reunited after six years apart. Band members said they intended to return to Atlanta for a makeup show.
