Anything on Prison Break, ...
Question: Anything on Prison Break, especially for Sara and Michael? Answer: We're going to get a glimpse of Bellick's home life in the second episode, and it ain't gonna be perty. The second episode will also mark the end of the road for a series regular. I'll have more on that next week.
What, do you think we're ...
Question: What, do you think we're stupid? The answer to your asterisk quiz is obviously Vormont, New Zersey and New Lork. Answer: Wow, also very close. Just three letters off.

I keep hearing rumors that ...
Question: I keep hearing rumors that Chris O'Donnell is going to be extending his stay on Grey's Anatomy next season. Is this true? Answer: Yeah, that was the part of the multiple-choice Grey's riddle that was true. He's in talks to increase his Season 3 episode order from two to six. And although I made up the stuff about Addison and McSteamy reuniting in the sack and Izzy coming face-to-face with her long-lost daughter during November sweeps, both those things could very well happen. And if they do, I'm going to demand a consulting fee from Ms. Rhimes.
How sad for you! You haven't ...
Question: How sad for you! You haven't had a break from watching nonstop TV and writing rude comments to people who ask you genuine questions. Boy, you must be exhausted! I hope you have a really relaxing time on your vacation while the rest of us actually do work. Answer: Ah, it's good to be back.

I'm dying for news on ...
Question: I'm dying for news on Season 3 of Veronica Mars. Please tell me you have something. There might be some Diet Snapple in it for you if you do. Answer: I have something — but it's a bit of a downer. It doesn't look like Arrested Development's Michael Cera will be making a return trip to Mars. Per Rob Thomas, Cera booked a movie and is unavailable. "We're very bummed, but surviving," Rob tells me. "We're hoping to get him in the show after his movie wraps, but the boy has many projects, so we're not banking on it." On a brighter note, Rob says Tina Majorino (Mac) is close to inking a deal to become a series regular. "She wants to b
You said in your June 14 ...
Question: You said in your June 14 column that Tru Calling was coming back, but there's nothing on Fox's website about it. Are you sure this is correct information? Answer: Let me get this straight: You just found out that Patch is alive and you're busy trolling Fox's website for nonexistent program information? Talk about messed-up priorities. Go tend to your one-eyed hubby, for chrissakes.

Question: Hope you had a great vacation!! I heard that ABC is making a TV-movie to wrap up Commander in Chief. Is anything certain? Answer: Geena Davis was on Jimmy Kimmel last week and said talks were ongoing. I say there's a better than 50 percent chance that it'll happen.
Hope you had a great time on ...
Question: Hope you had a great time on vacation! Tell us all about it! Answer: How 'bout I show you instead? I posted a selection of G-rated pics on michaelausiello.com. Coupled with that admittedly impossible asterisk quiz in the last Ask Ausiello, you should be able to figure out at least two of the three states I visited during my 10-day tripopia. Here are those clues again: V*rmont, New *ersey and New *ork. Not surprisingly, very few of you guessed correctly.

Question: Get off the pot and give me some Weeds prattle! Answer: I hear Zooey Deschanel has been hired to play Justin Kirk's love interest in a limited Season 2 arc.
What is this I'm ...
Question: What is this I'm hearing about Joely Richardson leaving Nip/Tuck after the 10th episode? Answer: The show's publicist insists it's 100 percent not true. He says not only is Joely on board for the entire season, but she's already committed to next season as well. Speaking of Nip/Tuck, producers are looking for an actor in his early thirties to play an "infuriatingly fit" Middle Eastern plastic surgeon whom Christian takes more than a passing interest in. He'll be introduced in the third episode, right around the time Christian discovers that one of his private sex tapes has been leaked onto YouTube.

Question: What can you tell us about the conclusion of Joey? Answer: The final episode — which may see the light of day in August — revolved around Gina and Jimmy's nuptials.
How about some Bones spoilers ...
Question: How about some Bones spoilers for a change? Answer: The show's second-season premiere on Aug. 30 will revolve around a deadly train collision and mark the introduction of Booth and Bones' new boss lady, Dr. Camille Saroyan. I use "new" loosely, since we learn that both of them have worked with "Cam" before — and at least one of them is not happy to see her.

Question: Couldn't you just get Rochell to fill in for you while you're away? That girl is a hoot and a half! Seriously. She's even wittier than you.Answer: Is it just me, or did you just attack me without provocation?
