Glee: Jenna Ushkowitz can sing! In tomorrow night's episode of Glee, the stutterer fibber you fans know as Tina will finally get her first solo, Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors," which is already making its way around the Internets, and we can't stop listening to it this morning. (Hear it above, and don't tell our bosses.) The episode also will feature Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious," John Lennon's "Imagine" and a cast mashup of Broadway's "Hair" with Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love." Anyone else hoping the last one is sung by Artie and Tina? In a hot tub?

Question: If nearly every fan out there thinks you're going to be killed off of a hit television show, what do you do?

You talk to E! about it, naturally!

At least, that's what Kyle MacLachlan chose to do after rumors started swirling that he will be the "fan favorite" who will die in a fiery plane crash on Desperate Housewives.

So is his character Orson (Mr. Marcia Cross) going six feet under? We already reported that—Spoiler Alert!—he and Bree (Marcia) will be trapped inside their house. Hmmm...

Oh, and what's the latest on Glee and Gossip Girl?

Could Betty (America Ferrera) be pregnant?

And seriously, what the bejeezus is up with Lost?

We have it all in the latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...

Frankie in Atlanta: I've figured it out. It's Orson who is going to die on Desperate Housewives, right?

Looks like the Cox-Arquette family is moving past the "family matter" that temporarily halted production on Courteney's new ABC comedy, Cougar Town.

A source close to the series just told us:

"We were down last Friday and are on a scheduled hiatus this week. We'll resume production on Monday."

Another source reveals that Courteney's husband, David Arquette, is still working...

Arquette has been putting in long hours on the set of in an independent film, The Land of the Astronauts, which has been shooting in downtown Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley for the past two weeks. A source close to the actor says filming has been business as usual in recent days with "no apparent" family issues interfering.

"David is a pro and seems to talk to his family often," the source says. Yesterday, the production took a planned day off, but resumed shooting this morning.

So what was the family matter Courteney needed to tend to?

Those Kardashians sure know how to drum up some mighty big ratings, so why wouldn't a prime-time series want in on the action?

E!'s reigning reality queen Kim Kardashian is working her acting chops in an upcoming episode of CSI: NY, and we were there to see all the action—including some additional guests like former MTV VJ (and Kim K. pal) Vanessa Minnillo and lead singer of Train Pat Monahan.

"Someone is murdered today, and somehow I'm involved," Kim tells us. "It's cool to get in this mindset and really be this heavily involved in such a crazy crime."

Hmmm, should we have prefaced that with a spoiler alert? Something tells us the CBS spinoff wouldn't have dished out the big bucks without giving the reality starlet a juicy role. See what the rest of the cast is saying, and decide for yourselves...

Jenna Fischer is hot. We know it. Jim knows it. Roy knew it. And now, apparently Us Weekly knows it, 'cause the mag honored her last night in Hollywood as one of the chosen few for its Hot List. And even better for you Office fans, she gave us some juicy little insight on when Pam's gonna pop and what's up with the "new Jim and Pam."

Also there? Joel McHale and the Glee star who may or may not be his distant cousin.

[Not there? The lovely Eliza Dushku, who left the scene after security wouldn't let her inside the party without the appropriate wristband. Way to kick her when she's down from Dollhouse's cancellation, Us Weekly!]

So what did we learn from Jenna, Joel and Joel's cousin? For starters, that "Jam" baby is going to be here soon?

• Lost: According to ABC, Lost season six will premiere Feb. 2 at 9 p.m., which means Tuesday is now Lost day. ABC also confirms that Nestor Carbonell's Richard Alpert, Ken Leung's Miles, Jeff Fahey's Frank Lapidus and Zuleikha Robinson's Ilana have all been upped to series regular status (we hear that Ilana has close personal ties to the Island); Emilie de Ravin is back full-time as Claire; and that Henry Ian Cusick's Desmond is not a season-six regular, although he'll no doubt appear as a heavily featured recurring character. In other Lost news, a little birdie tells us exclusively that the Lost season five DVD/Blu-ray packaging has hieroglyphics hidden within the cover art that offer additional clues to the nature of season six. (The hieroglyphics are not included in the promo artwork released so far.) The DVDs are due out Dec. 8, so make sure your local Egyptologist is on call that day!

Update, 3:22 p.m.: Sources confirm to us that NBC is ordering three additional episodes of Trauma. Whoo-hoo! Three eps from the existing 13-episode order are left for after Christmas, to be paired with the three episodes just picked up. When and where these six will air remains to be determined, since NBC's winter Monday-night lineup is full now with Chuck, Heroes and Leno. Can we get a hell yes?! (P.S. Good job Finke and thank you, NBC!)

OK, TV gods, let's make this happen.

Nikki Finke says NBC is going to pick up more episodes of Trauma after all.

We say OMGYAY!

Now, Nikki says she was told the pickup of additional eps came after a ratings uptick. Based on what we can see as amateur Nielsen analysts, the ratings on Trauma really haven't been vividly amazing or anything lately (they hit a postpremiere peak a couple of weeks back). The most optimistic statistics are that it does better in overall viewers in the overnight ratings than time-slot buddy Heroes and that it then picks up a not-terrible 15 percent more watchers when you throw in the DVR numbers.

But here's the thing: We don't think it's the numbers that are really the magic here (and TVbytheNumbers commenters agree with us).

So why in the world might NBC be considering more Trauma? Here's our take, and you should listen to us, because we are pretty much the media's only expert in Trauma...
