OK, I love Ask Ausiello, but ...

Question: OK, I love Ask Ausiello, but what's up with you not even hinting at two deaths that occurred these past two weeks? First, there was Hector on The Unit. And now Garcia on Criminal Minds? I can't believe that there was no hint whatsoever about these deaths! I wish you would have given us some sort of heads-up, even if you didn't tell us who. Answer: Oh, but there was a hint, Mel. A big one, written between the lines. Maybe you missed it? (And Garcia ain't dead.)

Bitchy Marc hooking ...

Question: Bitchy Marc hooking up with adorable Cliff on Ugly Betty is my favorite arc of the season. Is it a long-term thing? Answer: In case you hadn't noticed, there's no such thing as a long-term anything right now in Hollywood. But I can tell you that we haven't seen the last of Cliff. Of Betty's five remaining prestrike episodes, Marc's BF will appear in at least one of them.

Question: We have every hard med you need: Phetermin, Codeine, Ambien, Viagra, Xanax, Valium & all. Limited Offer. Order today. Answer: I'm not quite sure what that P-one does, but go ahead and give me a baker's dozen. And throw in a bag of Xanax and an eighth of Valium. This strike thing has me on edge.

Exclusive First Look: Booth and Bones Make Out!

Hey, Bones fans, see that eye-catching image over there to the right? Consider it an early Christmas present from Santa Clausiello. As I first teased in Ask Ausiello a few weeks back, Booth and Bones will indeed smack lips this season, and now you finally have proof courtesy of this exclusive, never-before-seen photo. I'll give you guys a moment to catch your breath.All good? Swell, 'cause I've got another present that'll make that squeal-worthy snapshot look like a mere stocking stuffer: A Fox spokesperson confirms that the episode featuring the mouth-watering twist has been rescheduled and will now air on  gulp  Nov. 27! As in next Tuesday. As in less than eight days away. Now, I know what you're probably thinking: "WTF, Ausiello? You told us in your vodcast that the episode had been pushed back till January due to the strike!" Well, at the time, that was true. Fox  looking to spread out what few remaining Bones originals it had in the can  delayed the epis...

Exclusive First Look: Booth and Bones Make Out!

Exclusive: Ugly Betty Sides with Union

Turns out Gabrielle Union spoke too soon when she told TVGuide.com that the writers' strike nixed her chances of joining Ugly Betty. Multiple sources confirm to me exclusively that the Bring It On actress has just closed a deal to play Wilhelmina's younger sister.As I scooped in Ask Ausiello last month, the character  Dominique  is described as a relentless party animal who has a skeleton rattling around in her closet. Incidentally, the role was initially supposed to be recurring, but due to the you-know-what, Union's only booked for one episode. Speaking of the you-know-what, click here to watch my latest adventure stalking Amy Sherman-Palladino on the picket line.

Exclusive: Gilmore Comeback a Religious Experience

Nobody can ever say that Matt Czuchry is a victim of typecasting. Sources confirm to me exclusively that Czuchry is following up his memorable stint as hard-living bad boy Logan on Gilmore Girls with an arc on Friday Night Lights as  I kid you not  a devout Christian. Natch, he's being introduced to the show via the newly religious Lyla. He'll first show up in FNL's 12th episode when Lyla guests on his Christian radio show.So what do you think, people? Is this some heaven-sent casting news  can I get an amen?  or did the devil make FNL do it? Feel free, and in fact obliged, to discuss. Silent prayer is all well and good, but nicely typed debates go over way better in this forum.  Additional reporting by Ben Katner

Exclusive: Gilmore Comeback a Religious Experience

How will the writers' strike ...

Question: How will the writers' strike affect the final season of Scrubs!? Answer: In the worst way possible: If the work stoppage goes on much longer, we may never get our Scrubs series finale. "To finish this season, the strike would need to be over by mid-January/early February," Bill Lawrence told me after Saturday's event. "Once the strike ends, I'm going to do anything I can to do the finale of the show. And if that means trying to sell ABC Studios on the value of shooting those last episodes even if they were only for a special feature on the DVD, or airing them on ABC if NBC didn't want them, I will pursue every single road to make them." And that, my friends, is why we worship Bill Lawrence.
