"Are we making a movie starring me anytime? Just checking. OK, love you. No pressure."

What's that you ask? Oh, that's just Neil Patrick Harris, as voiced by TV mastermind Joss Whedon, checking with his Dr. Horrible boss before accepting any other movie/TV/Broadway/awards-show-hosting gigs. Too cute, right?

We just caught up with Whedon himself and got scoop on everything from when Dr. Horrible 2 gets underway and whether or not NPH might actually guest in the upcoming, Joss-directed episode of Glee to what happens in Whedonland after the Dollhouse closes this coming Friday. Wanna see the future of Whedon's world? Here's the scoop from the man himself:

Dexter is "ridiculous!"

This just in from Michelle in Toronto, who is only about the (oh, let's see, carry the one and we've got) gazillionth fan to email today about  Dexter.

Thankfully, she means ridiculous in a good way. And luckily for you all, we are similarly obsessed and just got what may be a big spoiler on the final two episodes from Dex's show runner Clyde Phillips. (Disclaimer: It is only a short tease, but it is spattery enough you might want to wear protective gear.)

As for what's next for Chuck and Blair on Gossip Girl, Wilson on House and Owen and Cristina on Grey's Anatomy, we've got a little scoop on that, too.

Trent in Salem, Ore.: How I Met Your Mother is on fire this season! Do you know anything more about the 100th episode yet?

By now, some of you have seen it: Tonight's ménage à twist that had the Parents Television Council all in a tizzy.

(If you haven't, read no further until you do.)

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 action? And a Gossip Girl heading to the hospital?

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?

• OK, We Get It, JVDB! In his latest attempt to prove he's totally not the squeaky-clean Creek boy of yesterseason, James Van Der Beek has taken a role on ABC's The Forgotten, our frenemy reveals, as a dark and shady financial broker. (We're talking to James, Kevin Williamson and other former Creeksters next week, so email any Q's to tvdiva@eonline.com or tweet @kristinalert.)

• Even Sweeter Than the Real Top Chef: Yum! There's a spinoff in the works called Just Desserts, with pastry chefs. Word is a certain E! Online columnist would not cry if they asked her to judge.

• Big Bang Throw-Down: Ruh roh! Executive producer Bill Prady promises "a big, giant, knockdown, drag-out fight" for Penny and Leonard, after which she will run into an old flame. We're no mathematicians, but this seems to add up to trouble in geek paradise. 

• Dollhouse: If you love this show, tell a friend. Friday night's ratings hit an all-time low. Ugly Betty is also down 14 percent.

Jeffrey: Was that really Jayma Mays singing "I Could Have Danced All Night" on Glee?

• The Hills: Kristin Cavallari fail. Somewhere in West Hollywood, Lauren Conrad is laughing her ass off. Ratings for The Hills are down one-third this season—i.e., ever since the former Laguna Beach star rejoined the cast, purportedly as the L.C.-equivalent lead character.

• Glee: There's a new sneak peek out of Glee's upcoming Nov. 11 episode (which we've seen and which rocks). "Wheels" centers on Kevin McHale's Artie, and he tells us, "At the end of 'Wheels' there's a huge wheelchair dance number—I can't say what song it is—OK, it's a play on words. It's my favorite number, although I'm biased."

• In Treatment: HBO just renewed the Gabriel Byrne-starring critically acclaimed therapy drama In Treatment for a third season. 

• Dollhouse: TV auteur Joss Whedon appeared before his people again yesterday with consoling words about Dollhouse being kicked out of November sweeps: "Howzabout that schedule? Well, I'm not as depressed as everyone else...We get November to try to spread the word...and then December is pure gluttony."

Stop it, Fox. Stop making us so damn happy!

Not only is Glee quickly becoming our favorite series on television this season—there, we said it!—but Fox just confirmed to us that the addictive new show has just tapped Joss Whedon to direct an upcoming episode. 

Yes, that Joss Whedon. You know, the guy who created Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, Dr. Horrible and now Dollhouse (which returns Friday).

He also has directed The Office twice, so it seems his taste in television does not suck.

So how did these two great flavors come together?

It's about damn time!

Ever since Dollhouse started last spring, we've been waiting for Echo/Caroline (Eliza Dushku) and Paul Ballard (Tahmoh Penikett) to hook up, but in season one, it was not meant to be. Paul was mating with Mellie/November (Miracle Laurie), and except for some passionate fight scenes, the fed and L.A.'s No. 1 Doll hardly ever shared scenes.

Well, that's all about to change. We just ran into our favorite set of 12-pack abs—Tahmoh!—and here's what he blabbed...

We've got the dish on Bree Buckley's bad intentions on Gossip Girl. (Did you really think she was as good as she seemed?) Plus, read on to find out which couple is due for some devastating news on One Tree Hill, Lisa Edelstein talking Jen Morrison's House exit, Lo Bosworth spilling on the future of The Hills, and Lance Reddick on an Observer-centric ep of Fringe...

Kelly in Ft. Myers, Fla.: I've heard that our favorite Dollhouse may be in danger. Does it help the rating if people watch on iTunes or Hulu? I always try to do my best.

Ruh-roh! Gossip Girl's Chuck is kissing a boy, which is well and good, except for...what about Blair? We've suffered through two years of will-they-or-won't-they turmoil, and now that they are, could Blair be losing Chuck to the other team? We've got the exclusive scoop on what Chuck's dalliance with another man means for your favorite Upper East Siders.

Plus, want scoop on Naley's future on One Tree Hill? Want to know what happens in the Private Practice season premiere? Curious to know who's preggo on Scrubs and who's getting faux married on True Blood? Read on...

• Dollhouse: For those Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles fans who are still hurt by its cancellation, you're about to jump for joy. Summer Glau is heading to Dollhouse this season, playing Bennett, a Dollhouse employee who shares a past with Echo (Eliza Dushku). Glau is recurring and joining the likes of Alexis Denisof, Jamie Bamber, Michael Hogan and Keith Carradine, who all guest star this season. Check out what former Battlestar Galactica star Tahmoh Penikett has to say about the reunion below.

• Chuck: Superman is mentoring Chuck this season! Not literally, but Brandon Routh joins the cast in a multiepisode arc as Shaw, the new leader of the Intersect project. Look for the man of steel starting in the fourth episode. Could Sarah (Yvonne Strahovski) be his Lois Lane?

• 90210: Meet Gia (Rumer Willis), the young, hot lesbian who joins the Blaze Newscast team, working with Silver, Navid and Adrianna. There are also some hot pics of the boys on the beach, but like Gia, we're not that interested.

• Southland: NBC is pushing the sophomore drama back a month, now premiering Oct. 23 instead of its original date of Sept. 25. The network's excuse response is that it enables more marketing, but with Dollhouse growing into an unstoppable stunt-casting show, who'd want to go up against that premiere?

• Leverage: TNT has renewed the Robin Hood-esque show for a third season of 15 episodes, which is slated to premiere next summer. While this summer's finale airs Sept. 9, the gang returns in the winter for the second half of the season.
