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...

Alex in Rhode Island: Please don't tell me Kim Raver is sticking around long on Grey's Anatomy!

Newsflash: You so do not want to buy property on Wisteria Lane.

Sources are spilling details on the big Desperate Housewives plane crash planned for the show's year-end cliffhanger next month, and it looks like not one but two of the main housewives will be hit hard by the tragedy.

In fact, the plane is going to crash into the house of one of the lovely ladies you see above.

And another Housewife pictured above is in serious jeopardy of losing two loved ones.

You know how they always give that tease "This is the episode that will change everything?" Well, it looks like this time they aren't lying.

So who's gonna get hit?

This Just In: Desperate Housewives May Never Die

 Desperate Housewives: Marc Cherry has extended his contract with ABC Studios for another two years, which could keep Desperate Housewives on the air through at least 2013. Of course the big question is whether the cast's main players—Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria Parker, Felicity Huffman and Marcia Cross—will want to go that long. They're currently only committed through the 2010-2013 season. And let's face it, with all the natural disasters on Wisteria Lane (tornadoes, planes falling out of the sky), it'd be a bloody miracle if anyone survived that long.

D'oh! Simpsons actor Dan Castellaneta will play the pilot of the small plane that will crash on Desperate Housewives, mowing over a few people along the way. We suppose Greg Grunberg wasn't available?

Long Live Chuck! No official word yet from NBC, but sources confirm that Trauma will not go past its current 13-episode order, making room for Chuck to return on Monday nights early next year. Somewhere, Zachary Levi and Josh Gomez are doing a bromantic tango to celebrate.

Glee: As proof that not all E! Online writers agree on the music of Glee, this die-hard Gleek will point out that the cast's rendition of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" has just been certified Gold for digital sales in excess of 500,000 downloads. Boo-ya! So far, more than 2 million Glee songs have been bought online.

This Just In: Mia Michaels Finally Explains SYTYCD Departure

More from Watch with Kristin

So You Think You Can Dance: Mia Michaels finally did an interview about her sudden departure from SYTYCD, and she says it wasn't because she's got cancer or is going crazy, but rather, "When I was working on the show, I wasn't able to really focus on anything else. Now I'm really focusing on these other projects that I can't pass up. I think that’s pretty much the main reason why I left the show." Hmph. On the good side, however, Michaels also revealed, "Right now [I'm] in talks [to do] my own choreography show." Holler!

Melrose Place: The first promo of Heather Locklear on Melrose Place is out. The 21-second commercial features shots of Locklear stalking through Ella's PR firm intercut with the tagline, "Amanda's back...you better watch yours."

Lost: Carlton Cuse revealed via a series of Twitter riddles that creepy character actor William Atherton is guest starring on Lost this season.

Lost Plane May Crash on Wisteria Lane

It's a bird! It's a plane! It's a ratings stunt!

Marc Cherry has confirmed that a plane is going to come crashing down on Desperate Housewives' Wisteria Lane this season, for the show's midseason cliffhanger.

And now ABC sources are spilling this cool little nugget of info: The plane might end up being none other than one from Lost's Oceanic Airlines.

So wait a minute, does that mean that if/when Lost resets this season with an alternate reality (if that hydrogen bomb did actually go off), Jack, Kate, Sawyer and the gang could crash on Wisteria Lane instead of the island?

Gossip Girl: It's true, there will be a Gossip threesome, but sources are staying mum on the deets.

Gossip Girl: Sources confirm that Lady Gaga appears as herself in an upcoming episode.

How I Met Your Mother: Mo Ryan reports that Tim Gunn is set to guest star as himself on HIMYM's 100th episode. Gunn will help famously besuited Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) resolve a sartorial crisis.

The Vampire Diaries: Everybody's a-twitter about these promo stills from the Oct. 15 flashback episode. Hoopskirts, ahoy!

Family Guy Head of Housewives?

Wisteria Lane residents, be advised: Stewie's plan for world domination is coming together.

Hot off its historic Emmy nod, Fox's Family Guy scored its biggest audience in more than a year: 10.2 million, for its eighth-season premiere, preliminary Nielsen estimates showed.

Even more impressive, in the 9 p.m. half-hour, Family Guy dominated a downsized Desperate Housewives among young people who weren't watching the football game on NBC. 

All in all, it was a pretty ugly night for Housewives.

The pretty: The six-season-old ABC soap ended up as Sunday's most-watched scripted show, with 13.2 million fans. The ugly: It lost about 5.5 million fans from last fall's opener.

How'd the premieres go for Family Guy's new neighbor and the other returning shows?

Desperate Housewives Star "Fighting Mad" About Recurring Lung Cancer

Kathryn Joosten Lisa O'Connor/ZUMAPress.com
More from The Awful Truth

Such sad news: Funky and cranky-hilarious Kathryn Joosten, who plays Desperate Housewives' meddling Mrs. McClusky on the hit diva soap, is again fighting lung cancer. The 69-year-old star—many TV fans know her best as the president's secretary, Mrs. Landingham, from The West Wing—is "fighting mad," she says.

And not just about her own condition, but what she faces medically and politically, too:

"Lung cancer kills more people than breast cancer in this country, and it doesn't get anywhere near the funding. I want to be the Ryan White of lung cancer. This is so unfair."

Joosten, a heavy smoker for more than 40 years, was originally diagnosed with lung cancer in 2001. She had surgery and recovered without chemo or radiation, and she'd been cancer-free until last Wednesday, when she got the unfortunate news. "What a bitch, huh?," K.J. sassed.

When I asked Joosten how she's taking her recent diagnosis, she barked:

We love our Desperate-centric quizzes—those curvy gals can never keep themselves out of trouble for too long, just the way we like it in the gossip world!

But what we can't stand, ever, are stars being downright rude, something Shia LeBeouf's turned into a day job, basically. What DH doll's indulging in some naughty, uncouth behavior that has onlookers totally infuriated? Someone should really tell her that accessorizing an outfit with bad manners always turns out hideous!

More from Marc Malkin

Jesse Metcalfe may have made a name for himself by showing off his impressive pecs playing gardener John Rowland on Desperate Housewives, but that doesn't mean he'll be stripping down when he reprises his role in the upcoming season of the hit ABC series.

"I don't think we'll be seeing him shirtless," Eva Longoria Parker informed me yesterday. "You'll be seeing a very different John Rowland."

Perhaps Longoria Parker can get Mr. Metcalfe to take off his shirt for charity...
