Question: I love reading your column, but I wonder if you are as cocky in real life as you are in your writing, or if it's just part of the "act." If it is the real you, don't your coworkers hate you? I imagine it'd be like Chloe on 24. Love her, but wouldn't want to work with her. Answer: Everybody loves me. That's all you need to know.
Question: Vegetarians who eat seafood are oft referred to as crustovegetarians. Answer: Thanks for clearing that up!
Question: Is Kit (Rhona Mitra) coming back to Nip/Tuck? Answer: Lordy, I hope not. If I ever see those sibling Carvers again it'll be too soon.
Question: Someone who only eats seafood is a "fishatarian." Answer: Thanks for clearing that up!
Question: I am truly and sincerely sorry for calling you Grimace! I love you! Answer: Too late, Casey. You're dead to me. (Unless you buy an Ask Ausiello T-shirt, in which case you're alive again.)
Question: Are you able tell us a little more about the surprise twist involving Cameron and Foreman on House's May 3 episode? Answer: It involves a piece of paper.
Question: What's going to happen with our beloved Stabler and Benson on Law & Order: SVU now that Olivia has requested a new partner? Answer: Benson's going to get transferred to the computer-crime division, where she'll be working alongside TARU Tech Morales (Joel de la Fuente). Stabler, meanwhile, will be marking time with temp partners (including Anthony Anderson on May 2) until Connie Nielsen shows up in September. Short-story-shorter: We're probably not going to see a Benson-Stabler reunion until at least November.
Question: I just noticed that on Google, Giorgio Ausiello is ahead of you on a name search. You should really have your fans do something about this! How about an Aussie Yellow Google bomb? Answer: One honorable cause at a time, Rob. After I win this Sexiest Vegetarian thing, I'll sic the troops on Google. Send in those Lost Qs!!!!!
Question: On the April 11 Gilmore Girls, Jess was wearing a T-shirt with a girl's picture on it. Who was on the shirt? Some thought it was Rory. Answer: The picture was of the band Dinosaur Jr. Now apologize to Alexis Bledel. THIS JUST IN: Hold off on that apology. AA reader Rob LaRoche just sent me this e-mail: "The picture was used by Dinosaur Jr. but is not of them. It is a photo taken by Joseph Szabo as part of his Almost Grown Collection. The way it was framed on the shirt, I can't even be sure that was a Dinosaur Jr. shirt. Here is a link to the photo." I have no way to verify if this is accurate or not, but I fig
Question: Great interview with Team Palladino. You asked all the questions I wanted answers to. It still hurts and it still sucks, but at least I understand better now. Good work, my friend. Answer: Thanks for that. Many of you have been asking for my reaction to the interview and, honestly, the whole thing just breaks my heart. It wasn't until Amy started talking about those infamous last two (now four) words that it finally hit me: They're really leaving. Up until that point, I was enjoying my comfy-cozy suite at Denial Inn. For better or worse, Gilmore Girls is Amy and Dan's story, and the thought of someone else coming in and finishing the last chapter is just plain depressing. And the fact that this season wasn't a home run doesn't make it
Question: The word you're looking for is "demivegetarian." Answer: Thanks for clearing that up!
Question: Will all of the Law & Order shows return as-is next year? Answer: Definitely not, and that brings me to this week's big-ass prattle poop. Dick Wolf sent out a memo to casting directors on both coasts last week alerting them that they will be "adding series regulars to all of the Law & Order shows for next season." Among the roles they're looking to fill: male and female cops, young and seasoned; male and female detectives, open age; male and female ADAs, young; male and female lawyers/DAs, open age. The memo went on to say that "the most important characteristic that your actors must posses is a very New York edge." Now, keep in mind that Wolf has already said that a major cast member will be leaving
Question: Have you heard something about the season premiere of Nip/Tuck? What's the future of Troy/McNamara? Answer: Check out my Ausiello Report blog for the first Nip/Tuck spoiler of the new season.
Question: Come on, Ausiello, gimme the scoop on Stargate SG-1! I'll send you a lifetime supply of Snapple and Smurfs! Answer: You sure? I plan on living a long time. OK, remember me telling you how producers were looking for a "name" actress to play the recurring role of Adria, the rapidly aging daughter of Vala (Claudia Black)? Well, the name they found was Morena Baccarin, whom Firefly/Serenity fans know as prostitute, er, companion Inara.
Question: You never answer my questions. Your stardom is making you forget those loyal readers who helped you get where you are today. You can redeem yourself with a little poopy-scoop about the status of my favorite comedy, The King of Queens. Answer: Depending on whom you ask, the show's prospects for a ninth season are either iffy or nil. One source tells me the show will definitely not be returning next season, but another one insists talks are ongoing and it's still possible it could come back. Good thing I don't give a rat's ass, or else I'd really be on pins and needles. (Are we good now, Jase?)

Question: Is there ever going to be a 24 bloopers show? Answer: You mean that Kim-cougar outtake from Season 2 wasn't enough for you?
