Question: You went to USC? No wonder you are full of poop. Answer: Is that the best you got, Victor? Oh, wait — you work for the BCS; so I guess it is. My bad.
Question: Come on, you know you want to give me something new about 24! Answer: I wish I had something to give you, but that set is like Fort Knox this season. I can't even get Edgar Stiles to crack.
Question: Do you know when Veronica is going to break up with Duncan and return to the arms of the jackass who loves her? Answer: I hope not for a while, because I much prefer Veronica and Logan bickering than I do puckering. That scene between them last week was Hys. Ter. I. Cal.
Question: When is the shooting episode on SVU going to air? Answer: Nov. 8. (THIS JUST IN: In a last-minute scheduling move — read: I didn't mess up! — NBC has decided to air this episode on Nov. 1. Sorry for the late notice, but I just found out!)
Question: You so know that University of South Carolina is the real USC. Go 'Cocks! Answer: Is there really such a school or are you just pulling my leg? I can never tell with you people.
Question: Got anything about House? Answer: The tables are about to turn on Dr. Crabby. As a result of something House does, he's no longer going to be in charge of the department — at least on a temporary basis. And if that isn't demoralizing enough, he'll find himself answering to one of his minions when he/she gets promoted to take over. (Oh, please let it be Cameron!)
Question: Will we ever meet Edie's son on Desperate Housewives? Answer: Yes, but not until after November sweeps.
Question: What happened to the character Tia (Elise Neal) on UPN's All of Us? Answer: A network rep says a "creative decision" was made at the beginning of the season to focus on divorced parents Robert and Neesee instead of on Tia, Robert and Neesee. Wait a second, did someone seriously just ask a question about one of UPN's Monday-night comedies?
Question: You're going as either Matt Leinart or Vanity Smurf for Halloween (Ask Ausiello 10/19)? Is there a difference? Answer: That's actually pretty funny.
Question: Thank you so much for finally realizing how great Everwood is! Have you heard if they are going to bring in another love interest for Andy? Answer: (SPOILER ALERT) They're not, and here's why: Nina is going to learn something about Jake in Episode 9 that'll send her straight into Andy's arms. (A big thanks to TV Guide's Ali Gazan for passing that scoop on to me under the condition that I give her full credit and bold her name. I don't care what anyone says, that girl oozes class.)
Question: Does it bother you at all that Reggie Bush had to illegally push Matt Leinart into the end zone to win the game for USC? Answer: Not as much as you'd think.
Question: There are seven of us at my office who love Gilmore Girls, and we would like your honest opinion on a few questions. 1) Do you think that Luke and Lorelai will end up together? 2) Do you think that the show will be renewed for a seventh season? 3) We've been very disappointed with the new season so far and want to know how the ratings compare to this time last year. Thanks! Answer: OK, let me take these one at a time. 1) Yes. 2) Yes. 3) The ratings are actually up over this time last year. And sit tight, girls. The Gilmore you know and love is about to make a major comeback. I can feel it. Speaking of which, how fantastic was last night's AS-P-penned outing? Pretty freakin' fantastic. And I'm fairly certain Kelly Bishop is doing the best work of her career this season. God, that woman is gifted.
Question: I have been trying to get into dharmaindustries.com, but every time I try it tells me "access denied." Answer: How odd. It's giving me all the missing pieces to that creepy Orientation film. Psych! I get the same thing, Kay. I think they're just toying with us. (I had you for a second there.)
Question: So, what's up with having to wait three weeks for a new episode of Lost? Is anyone else out there starting to hyperventilate?! Answer: Simply put: ABC wanted to air four originals during sweeps instead of just three. And the only way they could accomplish this was by inserting two repeats. Don't shoot the messenger. The messenger is good.
Question: Wow, knowing that you're a USC alum makes me a bigger fan of yours. Go Trojans! Anyway, I can't wait to find out more about the American Dreams alterna-finale, like you promised in last week's AA. Please tell me that Chris disappears from Meg's life and she ultimately ends up with her true love Sam!Answer: Well, the first half of your wish came true, LJ. Chris is definitely out of Meg's life. And I know this because — brace yourselves, Dreamers, — I've seen the elusive epilogue! Jonathan Prince sent a DVD copy to me via armored vehicle late last week and all I can say is it more than lived up to the hype. Now, before I present you with the highlights, let me assure you that, come hell or high water, you will see the ending, too. Worse case scenario: You'll have to wait for the Season 2 and 3 boxed D
Question: I have heard rumblings that the FX drama Over There is going to be canceled. Please tell me this is not true. Answer: I'm afraid it's probably true. Tonight's season finale will most likely be a series finale.
Question: Holy kryptonite, Batman! Silver kryptonite!?! What's up with that? Any details on when it shows up and what it does to Clark? Maybe it will give him super column-writing skills like your own!Answer: That's the kind of first-rate sucking up that gets your question answered in Ask Ausiello, Jacob. The silver stuff shows up in Smallville on Nov. 10 and, as I teased last week, it makes Clark a wee-bit paranoid. He imagines his worst fears coming to light. Like, for instance, Courtney Love taking over the role of Lana. Just an example.
Question: What is the scoop, er, poop on the possible relationship between Dr. Chase and Dr. Cameron this season on House? I have been seeing a lot of different spoilers floating around — one-night stand, nothing at all, etc.Answer: According to exec producer David Shore, their hookup comes out of a crisis. "Cameron deals with a patient who's made very different lifestyle choices than she's made, and she starts to wonder whether she's made the right life choices," he says. "So, for a moment, she decides to embrace life and, specifically, Chase." And how does she feel the morning after? "In many ways, she regrets it right away," he says. "But on the other hand, it was good."
Question: Any House news?Answer: The House-Stacy story is going to move to the forefront during November/December, building to Sela Ward's departure in January. Take it away, David Shore: "We have a fun episode coming up where House is going to have to kill a rat in her home, but House ends up curing the rat instead of trapping it. He deduces at some point that the rat's actually sick. But as a result of this, we throw House and Stacy into a domestic situation together. And in the episode right before that, House is going to find out through — I'd have to say — illegal means, how Stacy feels about him. He's going to do something incredibly unethical and inappropriate and learn something about her feelings toward him."
Question: You have to give me some scoop on this mystery man coming to Gilmore Girls to complicate things for Luke and Lorelai!Answer: I'm told that story line has been put on hold in light of that 10-year-old complication I teased earlier.
Question: Don't use poop anymore. Seriously. Just stop.Answer: Are you actually asking me to stop pooping?
