Question: Lost is tomorrow! We have been waiting for so long! Any scoop? Answer: A big premiere demands an even bigger scoop: I'm hearing that a significant death occurs sometime after Episode 4, but before Episode 8.

Two questions — and be ...
Question: Two questions — and be honest. Are you only running the wrong guesses to the Lost asterisk quiz, thus giving the impression that not a single Aushole has gotten it right in the past three weeks? And if so, how many correct guesses have you received? Answer: No comment and roughly 136. OK, that's all folks. Some good news/bad news regarding this week's Ausiello Report vodcast. Let's start with the bad news: It's been delayed until tomorrow. Now the good news: It's going to be worth the wait! Not only is it jam-packed with red-hot scoop straight from the SAG red carpet, but Ugly Betty's Becki Newton gives AR viewers an exclusive peek inside her… well, you'll just have to wait and see when it goes live tomorrow.
I loved all of your SAG ...
Question: I loved all of your SAG red-carpet interviews. There was never an uncomfortable moment and you talked about the important stuff: TV shows. I just wanted to give kudos. Answer: Thanks for that, Suzanne. Despite the less-than-ideal conditions — rain, chilly temps, a second assassination attempt made against me by a certain frenemy (and I use that term very loosely) — I had a blast and a half. But if I had to pick one highlight, it would be my interview with the always hilarious Rainn Wilson. If you've already seen it, I strongly suggest you give it a second look. We just added an additional seven second
Since the strike is making ...
Question: Since the strike is making you do heinous things like give One Tree Hill scoop, perhaps you could instead try to focus your attention on getting NBC to release the American Dreams DVD sets. Or at least the 15-minute alternate ending we never got.Answer: Funny you should ask. Brittany Snow and I tackled that very same issue at the SAGs. And, between the two of us, I think we came up with a solution that everyone can live with. Well, everyone except Snow's L.A. neighbors. Click here to watch.
Before I get too wrapped up ...
Question: Before I get too wrapped up in the new season of Kyle XY, how many episodes can I expect? Answer: Too lazy to click through to the Countdown Chart, eh? All 10 Season 2 episodes of Kyle XY have been produced. Three episodes have aired, so there are seven episodes left. The season finale airs March 17.
I've been in a slump ever ...
Question: I've been in a slump ever since that last Grey's Anatomy episode. Could you make a girl's day a little brighter and give her a little poop? Answer: I chatted up Sara Ramirez at the SAGs and she hinted that Callie might not be in a rush to jump back into another steady relationship post-George. "I think it's an interesting concept, Callie being alone again. It's a universal issue that women deal with a lot. 'What do I do when I'm alone?' 'Is it OK to be alone and not have a man?' I think it's an interesting thing to explore. But, you know, it's Grey's Anatomy. And we love our hookups and one-night stan

Question: I heard rumors that the CW is switching the 11th and 12th episodes of Supernatural because the 11th will apparently make for a better season finale if the strike continues. Is this true? Answer: Well, it's true that they're strongly considering making Episode 11 the "season finale," but I'm not certain a final decision has been made. Based on what I'm hearing about 11 — "It's awesome" "OMG!" "Frak me!" — I can understand why they'd want to end the season with it. Apparently, the eppy's climax involves Sam, Dean and a slew of dead bodies.
I miss seeing Lauren Graham ...
Question: I miss seeing Lauren Graham every week on Gilmore Girls! Any news on what she's up to? Answer: She was hanging out with bud Matthew Perry at the just-wrapped Sundance Film Festival, where they were supporting their new flick, Birds of America. A little birdie passed along some interesting tidbits from the film's press kit. Like this quote from Lauren on how she became involved in the project: "I was in New York and full of conflicted feelings about Gilmore Girls coming to an end. We'd just shot the final episode and I still hadn't even become used to not having to be up at six every morning. So I was at dinner in New York when my phone rang with the news that [director] Craig Lucas wanted to meet me the next day. The meeting went great and we started shooting two weeks later." She added that, from a production standpoint, Birds was "very different" than GG. "Gilmore Girls was very rat-a

Question: "Someone who was on the beach, but hasn't been born yet?" Answer: Nah. But thanks for playing!
"Someone who was in the ...
Question: "Someone who was in the hatch, who didn't pull a finger?" Answer: Nah. But thanks for playing!
Who is going to be the new ...
Question: Who is going to be the new host of The Mole? Answer: Sorry, but I'm not that desperate. Yet.
If the strike ends in the ...
Question: If the strike ends in the next week or so, can the current TV season be salvaged? Answer: Depends on the network and the show. A source at one of the Big 4 tells me that should the strike end by mid-February, one best-case scenario being bandied about has established series going back into production and working through June, making more episodes for this season and some for next. Then they'll take a summer break before starting regular production on next season. The reason for this is twofold: They don't want to bail out on this season, but they also don't want to go to the expense of putting shows back into production for just two or three episodes. One industry observer describes this as "a smart plan," while acknowledging that there's another variable in all this: the actors. "The trouble is, a lot of actors schedule hiatus movies, or just elaborate vacations. And if they ask them to work through certain dates, that
What's with the lack of ...
Question: What's with the lack of Brothers & Sisters scoop lately? Answer: Perhaps it has something to do with, oh, I don't know, a lack of actual episodes?! Just a theory. In any event, here are some highlights from the aforementioned two remaining pre-strike eppys:• Someone leaves the show, most likely for good.• Kevin chooses between Jason and Scotty.• Multiple relationships end, but one of them permanently so.• Sarah channels a gay icon, and, as a result, becomes one herself.• A couple has sex for the first time.
When in bloody hell are we ...
Question: When in bloody hell are we getting a new Brothers & Sisters? And got any scoop? Answer: Good news. The Walkers' final two pre-strike outings air Feb. 10 and Feb. 17, and, man, do I have a little scoop for you. The latter episode features a guest turn by none other than Veronica's pa, Enrico Colantoni! And that's not the juiciest part, this is: He appears in what can only be described as a highly suggestive scene with another — hold onto your hats, Neptune Pirates — dude. And you'll recognize this dude since he's a series regular on the show. By my calculations, you've got a 50/50 shot of correctly guessing which dude I'm referring to, so head over to the Ask Ausiello Discussion Thread and place your bets!
"Someone who was on the ...
Question: "Someone who was on the plane, but wasn't near a Lostie?" Answer: Nah. But thanks for playing!
A Friday Night Lights ...
Question: A Friday Night Lights question here. Please tell me if we'll see Julie do anything else for the remainder of the season other than roll her eyes? Answer: I've seen this Friday's episode and, while there's plenty of eye-rolling on Julie's part — not to mention a little door-slamming — the little demon spawn's histrionics are somewhat justified this time around. Let's just say all hell breaks lose when Ma Taylor bails on a very important date with her daughter. Also this Friday, Saracen's post-breakup descent into madness comes to a head in his bathtub, Landry is forced to choose between Tyra and Jean, and Connie Britton turns in a performance that will put Emmy/Golden Globe/SAG voters to shame.

Question: Regarding your blind item last week about a cocky young television star who can't get any film work, were you referring to Jensen Ackles or Jared Padalecki from Supernatural? Answer: No.
Have you heard about the ...
Question: Have you heard about the action that Men in Trees fans are taking? We've been rather frustrated with the way ABC has chosen to handle this wonderful show — putting it on for a few episodes and then taking it off for months — that we've decided to donate money to treesforlife.org. For every $1 we donate, a tree is planted that will help feed the poor in impoverished countries. We are doing this in Men in Trees' honor. Once all the trees are donated, the certificates will be presented to Stephen McPherson at ABC. Could you help us get the word out about this campaign? Answer: What are you waiting for, Ausholes, a personalized invitation?! Get busy plantin'!

Question: I reckon Kate and Sawyer are past due for some angsty goodness, but please tell us they'll have at least one more session of sexy time before it all goes to hell! Answer: Does one innocent night of canoodling qualify as sexy time? If so, then the answer to your question is yes.

Question: There have been rumors floating around that Jesse Spencer and Jennifer Morrison have been reduced to "guest cast" status on House. Answer: Not true.
Why don't you like October ...
Question: Why don't you like October Road? Everyone I know loves it, and we are dying to find out who Sam's father is. Any hints? Answer: I don't like October Road for the same reason I don't like getting an air-conditioner dropped on my head: It's painful. Having said that, we're in the middle of a strike and I'm desperate, so here's a hint about Sam's daddy: While we'll learn more about his paternity in these final episodes, don't expect the mystery to be solved until Season 3. [Shudder]

Question: Black TV. It exists. Can we please get Everybody Hates Chris, Girlfriends and The Game listed on the Strike Countdown Chart? Answer: I'll see your race card and raise you one ambiguously gay alien. In addition to EHC, Girlfriends and The Game, I've added Kyle XY.
