Is there going to be a death ...
Question: Is there going to be a death on any of the three CSI shows? The suspense is killing me! Answer: I know of at least one death.
You said a total of two guys ...
Question: You said a total of two guys and one girl are going to be hospitalized on the three CSI season finales. Which show features the girl? Answer: Let's just say Dorothy, Rose, Blanche and Sophia would easily be able to visit her.
Last week's CSI told viewers ...
Question: Last week's CSI told viewers to go to CBS.com, look at this picture, and, apparently, it'll tell us everything we need to know about the last two episodes. All I see is the team in a diner. What do you see? Answer: Actually, a better question might be what (or whom) I don't see.
Any scoop on the season ...
Question: Any scoop on the season finale of Crossing Jordan?Answer: The death that Jordan gets framed for occurs very early on in the episode. And things are going to start looking really good for one of your favorite couples — and no, I'm not referring to Jordan and Woody, although he does put his job on the line in order to clear her name. If that's not love, I don't know what is.
Any scoop on Veronica Mars?
Question: Any scoop on Veronica Mars? Answer: As you may have heard, the prom gets canceled after a bunch of seniors get drunk on a class trip. That prompts Logan to host his own prom. "I can't tell you how pleased I am with all of our 'alterna-prom' material," Rob Thomas says of next week's episode. "I think fans will really enjoy it. My favorite scene may be the elevator ride up to prom, which includes Veronica, Mac, Butters, Corny, Dick and Madison."

Monday Ratings Report
Here's something we all could use: positive Everwood news! Last night's episode averaged 3.8 million viewers, up from 3.6 million last week. If we can cross the 4 million threshold by May sweeps, I'll be breathing a lot easier during Upfront week.Elsewhere, What About Brian didn't fare too well in its regular time slot. It came in last at 10 pm with just a little more than 7 million viewers. Can't say I'm surprised — or disappointed. The show just doesn't work for me.
Gilmore Girls Crisis Update
There's still no news. And if you don't know what "news" I'm referring to, you either aren't a Gilmore Girls fan or you skipped over the first question of this week's Ask Ausiello. (And right about now, you're probably going, "Enough with all this Gilmore crap!") But for everyone else, you know very well I'm talking about the nail-biter of a cliff-hanger over whether or not series creator Amy Sherman-Palladino and her right-hand man, husband Dan, will abandon their six-year-old baby just as it's heading into what may be its final season — and its first on new network, the CW. Although there's nothing official to report — see "There's still no news" above — the rumors are spreading faster than hummus on a toasted whole wheat bagel. Here's the latest:As early as Tuesday morning, it appeared as if Team Palladino was going to announce their departure. (Hence, the "scary moments" I alluded to in AA.) But then a funny thing happened as I sat by my phone waiting for the offi...

Oscar-nominated actress Laura Dern has been approached to join the cast of Desperate Housewives as an ex-chorus girl (and single mom) from Atlantic City who dreams of one day becoming a blackjack dealer, my spies confirm. Not sure what her connection to Wisteria Lane is, but Bruce and Diane's daughter would appear in one or two episodes this season and then return in the fall on a recurring basis.

Don’t forget to catch me and my TV Guide colleagues (but mostly me) on this Sunday's episode of Next Food Network Star (9 pm/ET). Also, you can hear me every week on TV Guide's podcast,TVGuideTalk, and on Sirius OutQ in the Morning (Channel 106' 9 am/ET). If that's not enough "me" time for you, I'm also reviewing the "Big 5" on TV Guide Channel's The 411 every Thursday night at 8 pm/ET. And this weekend, I can be seen binging on chocolate Easter bunnies and pastel-colored M&Ms with my family in Brick, N.J.

Scrubs Scoop: Slither Babe Checks In!
I have to start paying more attention to those doctors milling about in the background on Scrubs, because for the life of me I don't ever recall seeing actress Elizabeth Banks (Slither, 40 Year Old Virgin). But on May 9, not only will we learn that she's been there the whole time (wink, wink), but we'll discover that she's got a crush on J.D. (Zach Braff). Banks' arc will continue into the season finale on May 16 and, assuming the show will return for a sixth season (NBC, don't make me come over there!), she'll likely be back in the fall. BTW, not to sound like a broken record or anything, but Scrubs is seriously enjoying its best season creatively to date. No show right now makes me laugh harder or with more consistency. And don't even get me started on the cast. Oh, go ahead and get me started. Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison and Judy Reyes are da bomb diggity. Funniest TV quartet since Seinfeld's fearsome foursome. And if you don't believe me, get a copy of last week's ep...
90210 "Feud" Rekindled
If Tori Spelling's said it once, she's said it a thousand times: She has no beef with her former Beverly Hills, 90210 costar Shannen Doherty. Well, her “true life” VH1 comedy So noTORIous begs to differ. In this Sunday's episode, a terrified Tori hides to avoid a run-in with her nemesis, er, bestest friend. Later, she flashes back to her 90210 days and Doherty — I'm quoting directly from the script here — appears as a "gigantic, towering shadow" and talks like “Linda Blair in The Exorcist.” Spelling declined to comment, but a source close to So noTORIous insists the bit merely "plays off the joke that everybody thinks they don't get along. The show is all about poking fun at rumors." But will Doherty be laughing? Her publicist, Leslie Sloane Zelnik, says her client would be "very, very hurt" by such a monstrous portrayal, especially after Spelling personally invited her to make a cameo. "Tori sent Shannen a note saying, 'I'd love for you to come on the ...

Question: Who's going to be the groom at the big wedding on Las Vegas? Answer: I believe (spoiler alert) it's the artist formerly known as Mike Kasnoff.

Question: Will we see Gallant (Sharif Atkins) back on ER again this season? Answer: Yes.
I had a dream about you! I ...
Question: I had a dream about you! I saw you in an airport and said hi, and you completely blew me off, saying you were way too cool for me. I am so hurt! Answer: Hate to break it to you, Laura, but that was no dream. Sorry, but I was having a really bad day. Don't take it personally.

Question: So, honestly, how frightened should Luke and Lorelai fans be by the new bits of spoiler information floating out there about the season finale?Answer: I don't have the foggiest idea what you're talking about.
Thank you so much for your ...
Question: Thank you so much for your dedication to Scrubs. I hope that it will be renewed this fall! Answer: I feel even better about the show's prospects after reading Sunday's New York Times story, in which ABC honcho Steve McPherson said he couldn't "imagine NBC letting it go." And if they did, McPherson said, "We could totally find a place for it on ABC." (Scrubs is owned by ABC/Touchstone, for the six of you who were unaware.) Short story shorter: I think we can all relax.
Can you provide any new ...
Question: Can you provide any new information regarding the season finale of The O.C.? Answer: I'm hearing it'll start off pretty much the way last season ended, with someone getting rushed to the hospital after running into Ryan's fist. Also, I received a semireliable tip that ****** was headed back to town, but I've been unable to confirm it with anyone at the show.

Question: Will Elisha Cuthbert be returning to 24 for any more episodes this season? Answer: No.
