Spoiler Chat: Grey's Anatomy's Kevin McKidd Dishes on (And Defends!) "Love Triangle"
ABC/Randy Holmes
Cristina hates her. With a passion. And so far, it seems that some of you fans do too.
Ever since Kim Raver (whom Cristina named "Desert Storm Barbie") was introduced on Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, our inbox has overflowed with messages from fans wanting to know what's next for their favorite couple, Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd), now that Kim's character, Dr. Teddy Altman, is in the mix.
Well, we just talked to Kevin himself, and he admits that he, too, was concerned at first about the triangle, but he warmed up to it, and tells you fans why you might want to keep an open mind.
Oh, and if you want to know what's next for Glee (Christmas song!), Vampire Diaries (dish from Kevin Williamson himself) or Desperate Housewives (who won't die?), we have that too.
It's all in our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...

Hooray for the sexual Petri dish of prime time! Not only is Gossip Girl's much-buzzed-about threesome on the way (and yes, we have scoop on that, too), but sources are buzzing about a new core coupling on the way that many of you fans have been speculating about...
Is it Dan and Blair? Nate and Serena? Dorota and a new feather duster?
(Hmmm...That last one might be too hot for the CW.)
Oh yeah, and did we mention someone's going to die on Melrose Place...and on Dexter? Or how about the latest on Grey's, Glee and Modern Family?

Breaking Bad's Aaron Paul: No 90210 in His Future

Just because Aaron Paul is dating 90210 actress Jessica Lowndes does not mean he's going to be appearing on the CW prime-time soap.
"I think there were pictures of me on set," Paul tells me about rumors he'd be making an onscreen visit to Beverly Hills.
Besides, Paul has enough work on his plate right now. Not only does he play Scott on Big Love, but he's also a first-time Emmy nominee this year for his work as crystal meth dealer Jesse Pinkman on AMC's Breaking Bad.
To say his work on Breaking Bad is intense would be an understatement...
HBO Picks Up True Blood, Entourage and Hung
Jamie Trueblood/HBO
Not that we thought they were going anywhere, but today at the Television Critics Association press tour, HBO officially announced that True Blood and Entourage have been picked up for another season. The news of an early Hung pickup, however, was a wee bit surprising as that show is still finding its legs and is getting mixed reviews from the critics.
"One of the reasons we brought [True Blood] back as soon as we did was it always felt like a summer show. The hope and expectation is to try to bring it back next summer as well," Michael Lombardo, HBO's president of programming, told the crowd.
Now that we know Sookie and the gang will continue to glamour us for another season, what about your other HBO faves, such as Big Love, Flight of the Conchords, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and Eastbound & Down?
Here's what we learned today...

Kim Cattrall really lives her life the HBO way.
Life imitated her Sex and the City character, Samantha Jones, when the 52-year-old hooked up with a chef 20 years her junior. He was hot and blond and very Smith Jarrod-esque. And not unlike the show's first movie spinoff, they went kaputz.
Now, Cattrall is finding out her life has a giant dose of another of the pay cable channel's hits: Big Love.

This Just In: Want to Know Who Mike Is Marrying on Desperate Housewives?
ABC/RON TOM
• Desperate Housewives: A studio-lot spy snapped a photo that may reveal the identity of Mike Delfino's bride on Desperate Housewives. Wanna see?
• The Big Bang Theory: Ugh! Apparently Penny and Leonard are a go for romance on The Big Bang Theory. As Penny-Sheldon partisans, this displeases us.
• Big Love: Extreme hottie Adam Beach—if you haven't seen Smoke Signals, go rent it now, please—is joining the cast of HBO's Big Love as a principal in Bill Henrickson's Indian gaming deal.
• Futurama: The original voice cast of Futurama is not coming back for the new episodes, because Fox won't meet their fee. On behalf of loyal fans everywhere, we are taking this personally.
• Sons of Anarchy: In other, happier news relating to Katey Sagal, Sons of Anarchy show runner Kurt Sutter has updated his blog with the first new season-two footage.
So what do you think of that Desperate Housewives spoiler, the upcoming BBT romance and the new SOA footage? Post in the comments!

What Roman's Death Means for Big Love Season Four

We have some bad news for those of you who hoped that Big Love's creepy prophet Roman Grant (Harry Dean Stanton) had survived being suffocated with a pillow in the season three finale.
"He's absolutely dead. This isn't one of those vampire shows. Dead is dead on this show."
That's how show runner Will Scheffer started off last night's Paley Fest 2009 panel for HBO's brilliant polygamist drama, and now that we have answered the lingering question about Roman's survival, we can get to the good stuff, including what to expect from the newly established Church of Bill (yes, they really call it that)—plus everything you need to know about Barb's breakdown and Nicki's secret daughter.
Big Love season four begins filming this August, but for the latest and greatest news on all things Henrickson, read on right now...
HBO Defends Big Love's Glimpse Behind Mormon Temple Walls
Ron Batzdorff/HBO
HBO is so unlike TV it can't even limit its drama to the screen.
The pay-cable network was busy Tuesday defending the depiction of a traditional Mormon temple ceremony in an upcoming episode of Big Love, a creative choice the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints has interpreted as disrespect.
"Obviously, it was not our intention to do anything disrespectful to the church, but to those who may be offended, we offer our sincere apology," HBO said in a statement today.
Jeanne Tripplehorn's polygamy-favoring Barb is slated to participate in an endowment ceremony, in which church members perform symbolic acts to prepare themselves for admittance to heaven. HBO has deemed it a key plot point.
Big Love creators and executives producers Mark V. Olsen and Will Scheffer also said experts on temple ceremonies were consulted to ensure an accurate depiction.
