As an app developer you're bound to run into a situation where you're building both an app and a mobile website or REST based service. That means that you're testing the ASP.net project in IIS Express while using the Windows Phone 8 emulator, since the emulator behaves like a separate device on the network you can't use localhost to contact your IIS Express server. There are a few ways to tackle this problem, you can finish the web project first and deploy it to a webserver. If your WP8 emulator is configured correctly it should have internet access and will be able to connect to your server just fine. A second option is to install an IIS server in your network and deploy to there from Visual Studio. But the most easy option would be to use the IIS Express server that comes with Visual Studio. That's certainly an option but requires some (small) configuration tweaks.
