Question: You promised earlier in the summer that Nicollette Sheridan would be back on Desperate Housewives, but there is some huge prattle going around that she's off the show for good! What gives? (You'll still be my hero even if you are wrong.)Answer: (Spoiler alert) Would I lie to you? Would I lie to you, honey? Now would I say something that wasn't true? I'm asking you sugar would I liiiiiiiiiie to you?
Question: Any scoop on Las Vegas?Answer: Producers are giving James Lesure a pretty nifty Christmas gift this year: A Christmas Carol-inspired episode built around Mike Cannon!
Question: There's a rumor going around that there's a big Mer-Der sex scene set in a shower in Grey's third episode. True?Answer: False… although the word "bathroom" is uttered at least once in the episode.
Question: Thank you for the Smurftastic SVU spoilers last week. However, I have a few questions. If Cragen is being reassigned, does that mean Dann Florek is no longer on the show? And are you sure it is Stabler's oldest child, Maureen, that is the most annoying? That seems odd because in the last few seasons the troublesome child was his second oldest, Kathleen.Answer: (Spoiler alert) No, Dann Florek is not leaving SVU; he will remain a series regular throughout the season. And re: Stabler's daughters, you're right, I goofed. Kathleen's the one who's just asking to be euthanized.
Question: It’s got to be Dr. Kelso who's leaving, right? He dies, but his ghost will still roam the halls of Sacred Heart? Answer: (Spoiler alert) Yes, no and… no comment. Yes, Kelso will be released from Sacred Heart around midseason. But no, he's not dying.
Question: College football preseason rankings are out and your beloved Trojans are, once again, No. 1. With the season-opener a mere four days away, what do you think the key will be to USC staying at the top?Answer: First and foremost, with Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith off in NFL-land, junior Patrick Turner, red-shirt freshman David Ausberry and sophomore Vidal Hazelton will need to step up as Booty's go-to receivers. Secondly, the success or failure of our running game rests on the broad shoulders of one Chauncy Washington. Finally, with most of our big games being held in enemy territory this year — Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oregon, Cal, to name a few — our ability to tune out all those upset-hungry fans and stay focused on the game at hand will be critical.
Question: Do you happen to know in which episode Sarah Wayne Callies returns to Prison Break?Answer: Sarah Wayne Callies or Dr. Sara Tancredi? I'm not sure when Sarah Wayne Callies is back — Spoiler alert! — but Sara Tancredi makes a blink-and-you-missed-her cameo in the season premiere. It's also worth noting that Callies' name has disappeared from the opening credits. Her manager, however, assures me that her client is "returning to Prison Break this season."
Question: It was great meeting you at Big Daddy's Diner on Saturday night! Got any scoop on Brothers & Sisters for me?Answer: Nice meeting you, too! Unlike the Brangelinas of the world, I love getting stalked by fans. I especially like it when I'm with friends and/or family, because, well, what's the fun of being the center of all that attention if no one's there to witness it? As far as B&S scoop goes (Spoiler alert), Joe and Sarah's amicable divorce will take an ugly turn when Joe makes a surprising 11th-hour de
Question: Is Eric Camd..., er, Stephen Collins going to pop in again on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia?Answer: Yep, he's back in the Sept. 20 episode. (Spoiler alert) That same week, Sunny sends someone six feet under, and it's going to bring out an even uglier side of the gang once that person's will is read.
Question: Do you have any scoop on Burn Notice?Answer: (Spoiler alert) In the two-hour season finale on Sept. 20, Michael has to risk everything to save someone close to him.
Question: You are ridiculous and completely annoying. It's amazing that you actually have a job. You're an idiot and maybe the least funny person ever.Answer: It's OK, Keri Anne. A lot of people hate to admit they love me.
Question: I feel like you're hiding some Gilmore Girls movie news from us. Release the scooplets!Answer: Curses, foiled again! It's true: I have a little scoopbit I've been sitting on and the secret's been eating up my insides! Melissa McCarthy (aka Sookie) told me way back during the July press tour that she's open to the idea of a Gilmore Girls reunion movie, although she conceded, "I'm always a little sketchy about the whole reunion-movie thing. But Amy's such a good writer that she could write something and I'll be like, 'I'll be damned, it's really good!'" McCarthy acknowledged that the series finale felt a smidge rushed: "I don't think they ended it how they would've ended it [had they been given more time]. There was a lot of talk about an eighth season. But I think the writers did a great job considering it was so last-minute. I though
Question: Any new scoop on Rescue Me?Answer: (Spoiler alert) The nightmare Tommy has tonight may turn him off on that whole sleeping thing but good.
Question: The "tantalizing," "dream-team," "high-life" opportunity that Alan Rosenberg’s character will offer Catherine on CSI this season smells like a spin-off to me (Ask Ausiello 8/22)! And a decent one, too. Your thoughts?Answer: Stranger things have happened. Not sure what they'd call it, though. CSI: Law & Order, perhaps? (That one was just for you, Keri Anne.)
Question: I'm psyched that Goran Visjnic is returning to ER, even if it's only for a handful of episodes. Any idea when he'll first show up?Answer: He attended a table read for Episode 5, so, um, I'm guessing Episode 5?
Question: I need to know who was going to be Rob Lowe's ex on Brothers & Sisters!Answer: The answer is... contained in this week's Ausiello Report vodcast!
Question: Any scoop on Men in Trees?Answer: Stalker alert! Elmo will be getting a new female resident, and she's going to become infatuated with Marin and her life. Also, I hear Jane finds a very unusual solution to her geographical problems.
Question: I saw in a CBS press release that CSI: NY's Anna Belknap is now listed as a recurring cast member and not a series regular. Is this accurate? What happened?Answer: That was, in fact, a big fat typo. A CBS rep assures me that Anna remains a series regular.
Question: Where's all that extra Bones scoop you promised? I feel cheated.Answer: This year's Halloween episode is going to be, ahem, wonderful.
Question: Do you have any good Grey's Anatomy scoop?Answer: Since Burke's never coming back, Shonda Rhimes went and got the next best thing: his mama! Yep, Diahann Carroll's returning in this season's second episode when she shows up at Seattle Grace to get that choker back from Cristina. Needless to say, her return is shocking — and potentially clarifying — for Yang. It's also funny as hell. In fact, I hear the entire episode is high-sterical. There's also apparently some great stuff with Chandra Wilson as Bailey struggles with no longer being the boss lady.
Question: J.D. and Elliot on Scrubs? Yes? No? Maybe? I mean, they did end up in bed together in the finale.Answer: (Spoiler alert) Here's a potential clue: Elliot and Keith call off their wedding.
Question: I think I'm entitled to a little Prison Break scoop!Answer: (Spoiler alert) Mahone's going to do something very out of character in the premiere: *a** *i*****'s **fe. And in Episode 2, Linc turns to an old friend to help break Michael out of that hellhole of a prison.
