Question: If Flash is appearing in the "Justice" episode of Smallville, does that mean they're bringing back Kyle "Beaver Casablancas" Gallner?Answer: Sure does. And Lee Thompson Young will be back as Cyborg, and Alan Ritchson (not Rickman) as Aquaman.
Question: Can you please tell me if Dean Winters is returning to Rescue Me?Answer: He hasn't signed on yet, but it stands to reason that Johnny will be haunting Tommy from the great beyond.
Question: Is it possible that The O.C. didn't kill Marissa and that maybe she is still alive and in a coma or something?Answer: Enough already, people! The bitch is dead! Let's focus our time and energy on more pressing issues... like the fact that I just found out that hippie Summer's going to stop shaving her legs while at Brown! Yikes!
Question: I loved your video interview with fellow sexiest vegetarian Kristen Bell. Is she as adorable and sweet in person as she seems in interviews?Answer: And then some. She's running neck-and-neck with Keri Russell for BFF kudos.
Question: This is my first time posting, so be nice. Do you have any Prison Break scoop?Answer: Next time we see Sucre's girlfriend, Maricruz, she may look very different. I hear they're recasting the role, which makes sense considering Camille Guaty is now on The Nine.
Question: Thanks for the great news about Treat Williams joining Brothers & Sisters as Sally Field's new beau! Tell me more about his character.Answer: He's actually the family contractor, so he's been hanging around Nora for years. While at their house doing some work, he innocently invites her to join him at a mutual friend's restaurant opening, and Nora reads a little too much into it. They have about three really cute/funny scenes together, one of which zeroes in on their obvious age difference.
Question: Please ferret out the truth for me regarding Christian's upcoming fever-induced dream on Nip/Tuck! Julian McMahon told The Advocate that Christian and Sean kiss in the dream, but now an FX rep is saying there's no kissing! Have Ryan Murphy and/or FX edited out the kiss?Answer: After the whole peanut-butter/bestiality thing, I highly doubt Ryan Murphy — who, it's worth noting, is a gay man himself — would get queasy watching his two male leads smooch. For the record, an FX rep says, "There was no kiss filmed for this dream sequence. When Julian spoke to The Advocate, the episode had not yet been shot; he mistakenly assumed that McNamara and Troy would lock lips. But they did not."
Question: Did you see the ratings for Runaway? Oh my god, Dawn Ostroff and the CW so wish they had renewed Everwood instead of this soon-to-be-axed show.Answer: You said it, not me.
Question: I've recently gotten absolutely addicted to Nip/Tuck and would be eternally grateful for some inside info.Answer: Ryan Murphy has recruited one of his Popular alums for an episode. Next week, Adria Dawn (aka April Tuna) shows up as a Scientologist who helps Kimber move Matt out of Casa de McNamara. And if that's not enough for Julia to contend with, her nanny (played by Peter Dinklage) is going to develop some health problems.
Question: Hello, my fellow Trojan brother. Fight on to you! Any scoop on next season's Rescue Me and Entourage?Answer: The next batch of Entourage episodes (airing in early '07) will focus on Drama's pilot/career taking off. In fact, things go so well for him that he may even get his own crib. And fight on yourself!
Question: I'm sure you've heard that in Canada, the station that airs Grey's Anatomy aired the second episode of Season 3 last week instead of the premiere! Any idea how something like that could happen? And what did we miss here in the U.S.?Answer: CTV blamed it on a "satellite-feed error at the source," whatever the frak that means. Obviously, the problem had something to do with the fact that, internally, the first episode was referred to as Episode 2, and vice versa. (Short-story-shorter: They were shot out of order.) Whatever the reason, you just know Shonda Rhimes was channeling Linda Blair when the news broke Friday morning. And to your second question, U.S. residents (or at least those who didn't watch the illegal downloads on the Web) missed one of the best Grey's episodes ever. There
Question: After Sunday's great episode of Desperate Housewives, I am desperate for some more scoop. Please tell me Edie survives the supermarket shootout.Answer: Edie survives the supermarket shootout. She's also going to get her grimy little hands on the engagement ring Mike intended to give Susan. Speaking of Mike, I'm hearing that he may have some memory-loss issues when he awakens from his deep sleep. (If he's lucky, he'll have forgotten all of Season 2.) In other DH news, turns out Marcia Cross' pregnancy will not be written into the show — despite what Eva Longoria told the press (and I repeated here) last week. Apparently, Marc Cherry already decided to make another character preggers, and putting a bun in Bree's oven, too, would've been overkill.
Question: I need scoop on Waterfront, the new Joey Pants series now filming for mid-season on CBS.Answer: It was one of the network's highest-testing pilots this year, so there's a good chance it'll survive longer than Dr. Vegas.
Question: When does the new season of Joey premiere? (BTW, you look kinda like Eddie Munster.)Answer: Believe it or not, NBC is debuting the third season on Sept. 32 at 13 pm, directly opposite the return of Invasion on ABC and the fourth season premiere of Joan of Arcadia on CBS. And you thought Thursday night was congested.
Question: Need. More. Lost. Scoop.Answer: Charlie and Claire are getting married. Kinda. As revealed in this week's issue of TV Guide (a must-have for Josh Holloway fans), the Oct. 11 episode will feature an airport dream sequence in which Hurley is an Oceanic flight attendant, Desmond's the pilot, and Charlie and Claire are husband and wife. The sequence may also include a special appearance by someone who's no longer a full-time employee of the show.
Question: Michael, honey, I'm here to send you some love and to say, after reading all of those comments from angry Gilmore Girls fans posting to the Ausiello Report, run for your life! Just remember it's not about you. Deep, deep, deep down, all of them still love you.Answer: Thanks, Lois. You know, if I were guilty of what they're accusing me of, did they ever stop to think that maybe, just maybe, I had a very good reason for doing what I did? And maybe, just maybe, they should trust that I've got everyone's best interests — including, of course, my own — at heart? So, what may seem to be an elaborate cover-up to GG fans, could, in fact, actually be a nice big gift disguised as an elaborate cover-up. But that's if I were guilty. (BTW, the five-letter word is not "marry.") OK, ladies and gents, another AA has passed us by. Head on ov
Question: OMG. I think the CTV mix-up marked the first time I've ever seen a Grey's episode before you! It was great. Got any scoop for Episode 3?Answer: Sorry to burst your bubble, but I too watched the second episode last week, so I'm still officially cooler than you. Next week, Little Miss Sunshine herself, Abigail Breslin, drops by as (I believe) an abused foster child. Meanwhile, Izzie will take her first steps toward returning to Seattle Grace.
Question: Do you know more about Anna's swim coach, the one Luke takes out on a date on Gilmore Girls?Answer: All I know is that she's basically a slut who has a reputation for sleeping with all of her students' dads. In other words, it ain't gonna last. In related news, check out my Scott Patterson interview to hear his thoughts on Luke jumping back into the dating world so soon after Lorelai.
Question: Heroes is by far my favorite new show of the season. Please tell me that it is in no danger of being canceled! Answer: No worries — it rocked the Monday ratings big-time, my friend. As I predicted four months ago, I think NBC has found its Lost.
Question: On Nip/Tuck this week, Sean and Julia's baby with the deformed hands was born. Did they use a real child with this deformity, or did they doctor one up to look that way? Answer: Those are prosthetic hands, which is why we won't be seeing many close-ups of little Conner. Apparently, infants don't like it when someone glues fake hands on them. Who knew?
Question: Any scoop on Criminal Minds?Answer: That new series-regular role — the one initially offered to Portia de Rossi — has been tweaked a bit. Now the character is described as a "no-nonsense" woman in her early thirties who's the daughter of high-powered diplomats. She's an expert profiler whose transfer to the BAU catches Hotch off guard. With Portia not interested, I'm hearing producers are looking at an actress who knows a thing or two about being a prime-time profiler: Jamie Luner.
Question: Any juicy One Tree Hill spoilers?Answer: Someone at the school saw Dan kill his brother. And that's bad news for Dan.
