Fairly Major Season Finale Spoilage

Here's the latest from E! Online's Kristen, who apparently - judging from the hintiness below - gets her scoops from Damon Lindelof himself. She's perfected the art of telling you a lot without technically telling you much, so procede with extreme caution (or, if you're spoiler-averse, avoid this entirely):

Malik in Bangkok: I love Lost! Is anyone going to die in the season finale? I can tell you that a series regular who has been on the series since the first season will not be back next season (season five). According to inside sources, this person's contract has been put into a holding deal and the plan at this point is to have him or her return for season six. Guesses? (OK, I'll spare you the frantic emails: It is not Jack or Sawyer. It's a she.)
Wendell in Santa Fe, N.M.: Lost, girl! Spill! What can you tell me about the very end of this season?
Remember how I told you that time traveling and teleporting is most definitely happening?(Duh) Well, let's just say that it's going to be happening on a much larger scale in the coming seasons. And if I tell you any more about that twist, I will break the heart of this sweet guy who's name rhymes with "Hey, mon" and karma will see to it that I return in the next life as grasshopper poo.

On the first item: a female series regular since season one narrows it down to three people - Kate, Sun, and Claire. And let's face it, as much as we can dream, they're not going to get rid of Kate. But Claire - if she's really dead, then why do they want her back for Season 6? I could see them sidelining Sun next season (despite the post I just wrote five minutes ago) in favor of the on-island folks, but wouldn't that mean that all of the Oceanic 6 would be out of the picture? The obvious answer remains Claire - and if that's true, it's not great news, but at least we could get her back for the final season.

On the second item, I got nothing. It's one of those things that will probably make perfect sense after the 29th. But then again, maybe I'm right.
