• Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Um, we did not authorize this. Christopher Meloni might be leaving SVU—what?! Apparently the actor told Australia's Courier-Mail, "I think 12 years is enough, a good number...The writers will have fertile ground to figure out how to arc [Elliot Stabler] out to another place—whether it's this world or the next." Meloni wants to do theater and film projects after he leaves the long-running series; Mariska Hargitay, who plays Stabler's partner, Olivia Benson, told the paper she's sticking around SVU for the foreseeable future. Reps for Meloni and NBC did not reply to requests for comment at press time. Oh, Meloni, please don't go. We suspect you might be irreplaceable.

Plus, more TV news, including which True Blood fave is getting some daddy issues...

After being prematurely axed from The Bachelor for her still talked about, maybe sex scandal, Rozlyn Papa is over all the drama and making the call on Jake Pavelka's final four.

"If I were matchmaker, it would be Jake and Tenley," Rozlyn tells E! News' Ken Baker, which shouldn't come as much of a surprise since the soft-spoken gal has struck a chord with fans since day one. "I really liked her. She's my favorite!"

But you've heard the solid-sounding rumors that it's not Tenley who wins, right?

Rozlyn gives us her thoughts on the rumored winner, how she feels about Jake now and that producer-hookup talk that just won't die...

Did you know that several years before Jon Hamm became an award-winning TV star, he was teaching drama at John Burroughs High School in St. Louis?

And did you also know that one of The Office's finest was one of his students?

Turns out, long before Jon was kissing Tina Fey and January Jones, all the high schoolers wanted to kiss him. "He was a heartthrob!" the mystery gal gushes of her former teacher turned Mad Men megastar. "All the girls would sign up for his class…for a good reason!"

So who is it? Here's a hint: She has brownish-hair, has played the receptionist, and has been one-half of one our favorite will-they-won't-they couples (which we're also giving dish on here)...

Something wicked this way comes, and her name is—you guessed it—Georgina Sparks!

Insiders and the show's CW rep confirm that Michelle Trachtenberg will be coming back to Gossip Girl for the very last episode of the current season, which is starting to sound crazy good.

"I'm sure there'll be a big scandal," Michelle tells me. "She's back for vengeance."

So what's she doing up there in that photo with Serena's little bro, Eric? Well...

Whoever invented Elizabeth Mitchell should get a medal, because they did a good, good thing. We just caught up with the adorable Ms. Mitchell for a quick debrief on Juliet's demise last night on Lost, and we learned why that agonizing death scene is not the last we'll see of the good Dr. Burke after all.

Read on for our interview, where Elizabeth confirms your fan theories about what Juliet knew at the end and why, plus how she and Josh Holloway fell for each other as friends offscreen while their characters were in love onscreen, and whom she thinks Sawyer should be with in the end...

Former Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek has a new girlfriend, a new job on the NBC medical drama Mercy and is the first to admit he had a bit of maturing to do since his days in Capeside.

"I think I got really burnt out and just did not enjoy [acting] for a little while," he told E! News from inside Mercy Hospital's hangout, Delaney's Pub, during a set visit last month. "I think time [was the turning point]...just time to kind of recharge and grow up a little bit. Now I'm having great fun."

And unlike the Beek's more recent television appearances—he even admits he just started saying "yes, if somebody offered me something"—this fun new gig on Mercy is going to last a while.

What's next for Rob Lowe after ABC's Brothers & Sisters?

He could be headed to another series, one that is produced by ABC Studios but airs on a different channel: CBS' planned Criminal Minds spinoff. A rep for the actor wouldn't comment on the record about these reports, but insiders close to Rob tell me that ABC has talked with him about a leading role in the new series. No formal talks and nothing concrete yet—it's just one of the options being discussed.

But hey, wait a minute, if Lowe might be in, does that mean that Forest Whitaker, the spinoff's previously announced star, is out? Here's what we can tell you about the Rob Lowe rumors and what they might mean for the Criminal Minds franchise extension...

Did you ever think to yourself: That Joe Jonas sure bears an uncanny resemblance to Balthazar Getty?

No? Well, apparently, the producers over at Brothers & Sisters have, because, although there's no official word yet from ABC, inside sources tell me Joe will be playing a younger version of Balthazar's character, Tommy, in a two-episode flashback arc that focuses on the history of the Walker family.

So who else has been cast as the other Walkers? Well, you'll never guess who Rachel Leigh Cook is in contention to play...

Hold onto your couch cushions. And get ready to scream your head off.

There is at least one moment that will make you shriek out loud in tonight's two-hour Lost premiere, which is television at its very best. It is, as they say, a "game-changer."

I just chatted up the entire cast and show masterminds Damon Lindelof and Carlton Cuse, and without giving away anything too spoilery (what's the fun in that?), here's what you need to know…
