Giovanni Rufino/ The CWBy now, most of you have seen it: Tonight's ménage à truhhhbuuuhhhl.
It was pretty lame tame, right? But fear you not, next week things will get much saucier via flashbacks of the ménage-à-shocker as the three little birds piece together what happened.
So what happens next on Gossip Girl? Are D and O over? What about V? And what's this about a certain Miss Lady Gaga getting in on the threeway action?
We have the scoop in our latest roundup of exclusive TV dish, along with the latest on Grey's hot couplings (will it be Cristina and Owen or Cristina and Jackson?), Chuck's sad news for fans of Sarah and Chuck, and a breakup on Friday Night Lights...
Lucas in Evanston, Ill.: Forget Owen and Cristina on Grey's Anatomy! Give us some scoop on Cristina and Jackson! Please?
Look at you with your contrarian point of view! If you are rooting for Cristina-Jackson, you'll be happy to hear from Jesse Williams that most of his scenes are with Sandra Oh and Chyler Leigh: "It seems to be Cristina and also Lexie [that I spent most time with], just because our characters did spend that whole episode together last week. Right when we started, Jackson and Cristina did the opposite of hit it off; immediately they had confrontation with each other, but I do think there is an underlying mutual respect and wariness there that will carry on." Sounds like a definite case of unresolved sexual tension...
Bridget in Portland, Ore.: I loved last week's episode of Grey's Anatomy, especially the scenes between Arizona and Callie! They are becoming my favorite couple on the show. What's the scoop on them coming up?
According to the lovely Ms. Jessica Capshaw (aka the Arizona half of Callizona), "I don't have a view of what's around the corner, but it feels like they're in a nice place. I would be lying if I didn't say this is a one-hour drama—of course there's gonna be drama, there has to be—but so far I don't know where the drama or the conflict will be coming from. I think they're just in a very sort of loving relationship and all the good things that come with a new relationship and trying to figure it out." Yay!
Monty in New Mexico: What's next on Gossip Girl?
I'm told that after tonight's threeway, everything will be very messy for Dan, Olivia and Vanessa. "Things are not well," says my source, and the threesome will have repercussions for all relationships involved, and we'll see it all play out next week via flashbacks of the dirty deeds that were done dirt cheap. Also next week, a fourth wheel comes into the mix: Lady Gaga! No, she's not actually hitting the sack for an L-O-V-D foursome (can you imagine?), but her music is the catalyst through which Dan, Olivia and Vanessa have to stay connected and work together even more closely for the time being (thanks to an assignment given to Mr. Humpey...or, make that Humphrey, sorry).
Oh, and for all of you who are sooo tired of hearing about the ménage à trois—can we all just have a cigarette and get cab fare already and be on our merry way?—I have this news to share: A main Gossip Girl character is going to get in a serious accident. One that will send her to the hospital. And that someone is Serena (Blake Lively).
Megan in Eugene, Ore.: Please tell me the rumors aren't true that Sarah and Chuck will be apart this season on Chuck! What can you tell us about Brandon Routh and Kristen Kreuk?
I can tell you that Brandon Routh and Kristen Kreuk are rolling in on Sarah and Chuck so fast it'll make your Shuck-loving head spin. I'm hearing that episode seven is quite the doozy: Chuck and Hannah (K.K.'s character) share not only a kiss, but they then go on to treat the Buy More's Home Theater Room like a no-tell motel. Meanwhile, Shaw (Brandon Routh) and Sarah have one of those, "Oh my god we're gonna die, so I may as well tell you I love you" moments. I know. My soul just threw up a little too. The only good news? Kristin's character Hannah is so not what she seems, and I don't think she's long for Chuck's world. (Especially since she was nowhere in sight when I visited the set last week. Aces!)
Swish in Rhode Island: What's the word on Ugly Betty? Is it going to get better?
Actually I'm hearing of a very cool episode that will be in the vein of Run, Lola, Run. Run, Betty, run! In it, Betty (America Ferrera) needs to get a diamond-encrusted bra across town, and she has three ways of getting there. Apparently ABC is very hot on this episode in particular and is hoping for a ratings uptick from it. No word yet on whether Betty wears a red Sydney Bristow wig.
Jessica in Ft. Worth, Texas: Got any new news on True Blood?
We're going to be meeting Bill's (Stephen Moyer) first wife! True Blood producers are now casting for Caroline Compton, who is surprised to discover her man was not killed in the Civil War, as she had thought.
Tim in Bowling Green, Ohio: I'm curious, is Dexter more interested in Trinity as a mentor or as a nemesis?
We just saw Michael C. Hall himself and asked him this and he told us, "Both, as is often the case with Dexter. I think the only answer I can give you is both. What's really fun about it is Dexter as an equal amount of reverence and disdain for the character and those things are commingled in the relationship."
Jackie in San Francisco: Does Deb's search for her dad's confidential informants change her relationship with her brother?
We were wondering the same thing, and Jennifer Carpenter told us, "It has to, because it changes her relationship with herself, and it changes her relationship with her father."
Randall in New York: Last week's Supernatural was unbelievable! So hilarious and so well done. Got any scoop on what's next?
According to my mole: There is an episode coming next year in which Anna returns and wants to kill Sam, so he doesn't say yes to Lucifer. She travels back in time to kill Mary and John Winchester, so Dean and Sam go back in time to try and stop her. So does that mean we'll see Jeffrey Dean Morgan again? Sadly, no, as it will be "young John" and "young Mary." For the record, CW, I like my John W. old and scruffy and JDM-y!
Dustin in Tustin, Calif.: I'm actually really enjoying the new season of Friday Night Lights, even though the coach is at a new school. Are things going to get better soon for the Lions?
We hope so. Coach Taylor deserves it. This week, Eric puts his neck (and bank account) on the line for his team to the tune of $3,000. So far it hasn't paid off. In the meantime, the writing's on the wall for Matt and Julie. After seeing this week's episode, they are looking doomed. Anybody want to share a quart of ice cream?
Melissa in Alameda, Calif.: Any info on Brothers & Sisters?
Kevin and Scotty are moving forward on their plan to have a baby. In fact, they're starting to search through egg-donor websites, looking for the perfect match, and eventually they'll get tested and learn that Scotty has the stronger sperm. Since Kevin is the biodad for Julia I guess that makes Tommy's really weak?
Raymond in Walhalla, S.C.: Will Rebecca have the baby on Brothers & Sisters?
I'm hearing it's not a happy ending. (Sad face.)
Phillipa via Twitter: Any scoop on Glee?
We'll learn on Wednesday's all-new ep of Glee that there's more to Sue Sylvester (Jane Lynch) than meets the eye. She's not just a Cheerio tyrant and grandstanding TV commentator. She actually has a personal life, too, and you'll be impressed when you get a glimpse of what that personal life entails.
Marshall in Texas: Is it true that on Lost the bomb did go off and the show will "reset" with Oceanic Flight 815 landing safely?
From what I understand only one of those things is true. But it's complicated!
Shelly in Redondo Beach, Calif.: I'm loving Melrose Place. Please share any news you have!
Just when we thought David and Lauren were heating up, producers are casting for a superhot girl named Morgan. She busts David for burglarizing her house and then puts the moves on him. Resist, David, resist!
Elise in Akron, Ohio: Any news about How I Met Your Mother?
Our boy Ted is about to start flirting with a student named Cindy. She's a little older than the other kids in his class, and the two hit it off on account of their shared advanced age. Looks like we have another mother candidate, or at least another mother red herring.
Montana in Spain: Please, some scoop on One Tree Hill?
This just in: Millicent will get a DUI, Nathan will fire Clay when the Bobcats sign another player instead of him and Brooke and Julian will continue to have major problems.
Julie in Maine: Any news on Californication that doesn't involve that grotesque Charlie Runkle or Kathleen Turner's horrifying character?
Tell us how you really feel, Julie! But don't worry, next week's episode is all about a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day for Hank Moody (David Duchovny). Let's just say that Hank's lady-friend shell game is about to come to an end. (P.S. Does anybody else miss having Natascha McElhone's Karen around every week? The daughter is doing her best to be Hank's redeeming quality, but without Karen, the equation is incomplete.)
Maya in Boston: I love Lie to Me. Any news about what's going to happen next?
Someone on the team is in danger of being fired on the Nov. 16 episode. That's the bad news. The good news is the ep ends with a lighthearted holiday scene between Lightman and Foster. Awww...
Thea in San Francisco: Spill me some dish on Sons of Anarchy!
This is the Sons of Anarchy season when everybody reads John Teller's book. Look for another character close to Jax to get his hands on the manifesto.
Kimba in Minnesota: I love Make It or Break It. Any news?
Our favorite Make It or Break It girl, Payson (Ayla Kell) starts going to regular school, and she's going to have some run-ins with the bitchtastic head cheerleader. Stay tough, Payson!
Nina in Rochester, N.Y.: I love Trauma, and I refuse to give up on it. Tell me you have scoop on Rabbit or Nancy!
If Trauma makes it to Thanksgiving (come on, little show, you can do it!), we'll meet Nancy's many brothers and learn a little bit more about how she's breaking the family mold by not being a doctor.
ules from Midland, Mich.: Thanks for the Legend of the Seeker scoop! Do you have any more news? It's my favorite show.
Craig Horner spills that this season is positively overflowing with naughty Mord Sith. He says, "Denna (Jessica Marais) comes back and she is manipulating Richard, just like she does, and it's good to see a Mord Sith coming back that's still a Mord Sith. You know what I mean, just this nasty little b-i-t-c-h who says 'You do things my way!' "
Morris in Minneapolis: Anything good coming up on 90210?
I know I just said this about One Tree Hill, but now it's also true on 90210: Someone is going to try to commit suicide. Think you know who? Also, the truth about Jen and Liam comes out in episode 11, Dixon's birth mother will return and Debbie will start flirting with her yoga instructor.
Christie in Flint, Mich.: I know we don't get more Dollhouse until next week, but do you have any scoop?
Summer Glau's Dollhouse character, Bennet, tends to speak in riddles (what else is new for a Summer Glau character?!), but she does make one unequivocal statement that will shock the heck out of you hard-core fans. Let's just say we might be getting closer to an origin story for one of the show's most important characters.
