Got a scoop request?

An anonymous tip youre dying to share?

Just want to say hi?

Eddie

Ausiello:Hmmm… Ithinkthats the show I just got some exclusive casting news on.

According to a well-placed insider, Fisher Stevens will resurface this season as the late George Minkowski.

Thats the show youre talking about, right?

Question: Im literallydyingforTrue Bloodnews.

c’mon save me from dying a slow, painful death.

Demi

Ausiello:Your life-saving scoop has arrived!

Itll take three villains to replace last seasons one Big Bad, Maryann.

We have a triumvirate of evil this season, reveals exec producer Alan Ball.

Im talking about Franklin Mott, Russell Edgington, and Debbie Pelt.

They are all bad to the bone.

Theyre not just crazy, theyreevil.

We actually beefed up Debbie, he says.

Question: Loved thepicyou snapped of Alex Skarsgard at the Golden Globes.

Did you by any chance get anyTrue Bloodscoop out of him?

Specifically, I asked him to give me a preview of Erics season 3 journey.

Id say its about revenge, he told me.

He will continue to explore the whole Sookie thing and what thats all about.

Hes trying to figure out whats different about her.

Hes intrigued by that.

All Ill say is hes trying to avenge someone.

Question: Its looking more and more like they are paving the way for Katherine Heigls exit onGreys Anatomy.

Do you know if she is going to stay or not?

Kate

Ausiello:I dont.

And neither does Heigl.

Heigls got at least another year left on herGreyscontract, so her fate rests with ABC and Shonda Rhimes.

My gut, which has rarely steered me wrong in the past, tells me theyll let her walk.

At least not completely.

I dont think Ill do that, he says.

We wrote her part as a sort of Faye Dunaway ofNetwork.

Shes the female coach of Vocal Adrenaline.Thatswhat she plays.

Question: Can you tell us anything else aboutKurts boyfriendonGlee?

Question: Any news on the gender of Jim and Pams baby onThe Office?

I dont think weve finalized it yet, says producer/co-star BJ Novak.

But I can confirm exclusively to The Ausiello Files that itwillbe a baby.

Question: I watched last weeksBonesvery carefully but there wasnopositive pregnancy test in sight.

Next weeks episode, maybe?

Or is it just happening this season and you dont know the exact episode?

Sofia

Ausiello:My bad.

I got my dates mixed up.

The positive pregnancy test happens inthisweeks episode.

In my defense, Ive been a little busy with press tour.

And the Golden Globes.

And a lot of other important stuff, so get off my case, dammit.

Question: Any scoop onBones?

Question: My guess is that Angela and Wendell will be the couple that gets married onBones.

And we will be resolving that in the second half of the year.

I think his use of the word resolving is key.

Sounds like theyre headed for a breakup, not a wedding.

But thats just me spit-balling.

Question: Do you know when Elena will turn into a vampire onThe Vampire Diaries?

I am dying to know.

Crystal

Ausiello:If youre holding your breath for it to happen, you actuallymightdie.

So its not something we are going to ignore.

But right now its a little tooTwilightsimilar for us to feel comfortable dabbling in it.

Shes the relatable character.

To pervert that too soon would be a mistake.

Question: Is anything ever going to happen between Elena and Damon onThe Vampire Diaries?

Cupid

Ausiello:Patience, Cupid.

And lots of it!

So not even a kiss?

Yes, Plec teases, but probably beyond season 1.

Adds boss man Kevin Williamson: This show is always going to be about Stefan and Elena.

It has to be.

Question: Have anyOne Tree Hillscoop?

Question: Is it true that Hayleys mom is returning onOne Tree Hill?

Christopher

Question: kindly give us some dish on things heating up between Addie and Sam onPrivate Practice.

I really hope Pete isnt the additional complication.

He is not a fit for Addie.

I love the dynamic between them, she says.

Alianna

Ausiello:Youre a good friend, Alianna.

Lisas lucky to have you in her life.

Question: Love thecasting of Gena Rowlandsas Gibbs mother-in-law onNCIS, butwhichmother-in-law is she playing?

The guys been married four times!

Laura

Ausiello:Shes playing the mother of Gibbs first (and late) wife, Shannon.

Question: Did you eversee this?

Jill

Ausiello:Saw it.

Ordered a poster-sized print of it at Kinkos FedEx Office.

Question: yo explain the awfulness that was the abrupt end to Kittys cancer story onBrothers & Sisters.

Four months of build-up only to give her a miraculous cure in five minutes?

Is that really the end of that plot point?

Jenn

Ausiello:Its the end… for now.

Cancer is not something you’ve got the option to just forget about.

And in this case, it worked.

Question: Can we c’mon get someBrothers & Sistersscoop?

Question: What can you tell us about Melanie Griffiths upcoming stint onNip/Tuck?

Robin

Ausiello:Shell end up in the sack with either Sean or Christian.

I cant spill much more without spoiling this weeks big twist.

Question: Any news if Michael Rosenbaum (Lex) is returning toSmallvilleanytime soon?

They keep teasing us, but nothing ever comes of it.

Tim

Ausiello:I dont think its going to happen this season.

I hear a major sticking point is that Rosenbaumreallylikes having hair.

Question: Do you mind if I refer to you as my new BFF?

And can I have a goodBig Lovescoop?

Amanda

Ausiello:No, I dont mind.

And yes, you’ve got the option to.

The three of them were practically inseparable at HBOs post Golden Globes bash.

Her winning is honestly the only thing I remember all night, Goodwin gushed.

Everything else is a blur.

The trio also helped me make sense ofBig Loves depressingly paltry nine-episode order this season.

[HBO has] a lot of shows and only so many Sundays, explained Tripplehorn.

Added Goodwin: The Pacifictakes our timeslot the week after our finale.

That was planned before our show was [renewed].

Sevigny is confident fans wont know whats missing.

We pack alotin those nine episodes.

You wont be disappointed.

Question: hey tell us something aboutLife Unexpected!

I know that only the pilot has aired so far, but Im already hooked!

Maddy

Ausiello:Youre not alone.

The stellar premiere earned The CW its best ratings in the hour in more than a year.

Next week, we meet all of Luxs little orphan friends.

Itssoannoying when good shows do dumb stuff like that.

yo, yo, something, anything onHow I Met Your Mother?

Also, Harris real-life boyfriend, David Burtka, returns as Lilys high school stalker, Scooter.

Spoiler alert: Hes stillreallyinto her.

Oh, and did you hear?

Question: I received an email today that I had won theLostMessage in a Bottle sweepstakes.

Have you heard much about the prize at all?

Will it be too much of a spoiler before the first episode airs?

I wouldnt want anything to compromise your enjoyment of the premiere.

Even better, Ill waive my usual fee.

Question: hey help spread the word about the RedCupaThon going on atsavegreek.com.

Kim

Ausiello:Consider the word spread!

Any clue when thatll be?

Mary

Ausiello:Episode 8 the first one back after those damn Olympics.

Question: Did you get anyHousescoop from Lisa Edelstein at the Golden Globes?

Erin

Ausiello:No, I justsnapped this pictureand then ran away.Of courseI got some scoop out of her.

Lisa conceded that Jennifer Morrisons exit earlier this season was weird for everyone.

Its a very strange thing when somebodys gone, she admitted.

Were all in the same boat as actors.

Its hard for everybody…

But its really great to see her back.
