Gossip Girl: A Big Shocker and Why the Show Will Get Good Again!
"I can't stand Gossip Girl this season! The storylines are boring, the chemistry is gone and even Chuck and Blair have lost their edge. Help! Is there any hope or should I stop watching?"
This email just in from Natalie in Portland, Ore., and Natalie, we have a sweet little Thanksgiving gift for you: It is getting good again. Hands off the delete button on your DVR!
It seems many of you fans aren't feeling the same love for the Upper East Siders this year, and sources close to the series tell me the creative powers behind it are well aware.
"The producers had sort of a come-to-Jesus meeting where they realized the show was off track and decided to set it right," one insider who works on GG tells me. "They're bringing back the OMG."
So how will they do it? And what major storyline was I—confession time!—dead wrong about?

Is Anna Getting Busy on V?
The Visitors are leaving for a while. (You know what they say about guests and fish stinking after three days.) Tonight is the last new episode of V's premiere pod of episodes, and it's a doozy. There are major reveals about the future (think circle-of-life type stuff), someone gets tortured to death, we learn more about the so-called "fifth column," we learn that the Vs are out to get us using a method that would make Bill Maher nod and go "Toldya!," and, oh yeah, Lisa (Laura Vandervoort) brings Tyler (Logan Huffman) home to meet her "mother." Eek!
What's to come after all of tonight's alien madness is said and done? We caught up with superfoxy alien babe Morena Baccarin for an exclusive chat, and she hinted that things (maybe even big romantic things) are heating up for Anna. Here's what we learned:

Spoiler Chat: Will Kyle MacLachlan Die on Desperate Housewives? Get the Answer!
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?
CSI: NY Murder Mystery: Is Kim Kardashian the Killer?
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...

Does God Save the Supernatural Boys?
Can you believe we have to wait almost two months for a new episode of Supernatural, especially after yesterday's heartbreaker "Abandon All Hope"? The wait is going to be positively gruesome, but to keep, well, hope alive during the holidays, we gathered up the answers some of your burning SPN fan Q's.
So what's the biggest question of all right now in the Supernatural-verse? For our money it's this: Why is God so darn laissez-faire in his approach to the Apocalypse? The Winchesters could really use a hand mopping up all the fire and brimstone that's raining down on Earth right now! Come on, big man! Show your face!
So, will there be a deus ex machina in season five of Supernatural? Here's what we're hearing:

Grey's Anatomy Love Triangle: "The Characters Can't Be Happy All the Time"
Here's the bad news: Kim Raver's Teddy Altman is definitely a complication for Grey's Anatomy's most beloved twosome of the moment: Kevin McKidd's Owen Hunt and Sandra Oh's Cristina Yang. As Kevin McKidd correctly pointed out when we spoke earlier this week, "For a TV show to work, the characters can't be happy all the time." (Bah humbug!)
Now, here's the good news: McKidd and costar Sandra Oh are both total Crowen shippers who want to see their characters together as much or more than we do. McKidd testifies, "I want the best for him. I want him to be happy. I want him to be in love. I want him to be all these things, and so does Sandra [for her character]." And you've got to believe that all that love for love will win out in the end, right?
Kevin McKidd explained to us why he and Sandra are so in synch, both on and offscreen, and what this triangle means for the show. Plus, McKidd revealed a worrisome suspicion that Owen's old nemesis might be back sooner rather than later...

Joel McHale on New Love Interest: "Eat That, Patrick Dempsey!"
Joel McHale is still hot for teacher!
NBC confirms to us exclusively that former Grey's girl Lauren Stamile, who recently appeared in Community's Halloween episode as Jeff's (Joel) stats teacher, will return for a multiple-episode arc later in the season.
"Lauren played Patrick Dempsey's love interest on Grey's Anatomy and is now my love interest," Joel tells us. "So eat that, Patrick Dempsey!"
(Did we ever mention how much we love Joel McHale?)
But wait a minute. When we last saw Lauren's character Michelle, Jeff was desperately trying to hook up with her and it didn't seem to go anywhere.
So what happened? Well, we just hit the Community set and here's the juicy secret...

Is Ugly Betty Ending? And Who Gets the Girl?
Chris Gorham just twittered an hour ago that he's back on the set of Ugly Betty and that "Ana Ortiz's baby is beautiful."
This makes us worry.
Not because of the baby comment (we've seen Ana's Paloma; she's a living angel!), but because of what sources have been spilling about Betty's fate: That the end may be near and Betty's ghosts of suitors past are circling.
Although Gorham himself has clarified via Twitter, "I'm not back on Ugly Betty. Just dropped by to visit my friends," according to sources, he may be very soon...
Inside sources tell me that ABC has been working on ways to try to save Ugly Betty (including the possibility of moving it to Wednesdays, as previously reported); however, if ratings don't improve by mid spring, it's likely that Betty will be canceled in May.
To that end, one well-placed Betty mole tells me: "The writers have accepted that this season may be the last and are brainstorming endings now, just in case. The big question is: Who will Betty end up with? The writers room is deeply divided."
I'm told it's down to three contenders, and they are...
Spoiler Chat: Grey's Anatomy's Kevin McKidd Dishes on (And Defends!) "Love Triangle"
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 (is Stefan really gone?) 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!
Amy Poehler Sex Scandal: Is Will Arnett Involved?
Boom chicka bow wow!
That's the sound of sex—and sexiness—making its way into the tiny town of Pawnee, Ind., and the folks of Parks and Recreation are giving us the spiciest Christmas gift ever.
At Saturday night's Paley Center P-Rex celebration, Amy Poehler teased that hubby Will Arnett might soon be joining her on the small screen (yay!): "I hope, so I think you will," she spilled with that signature Amy grin we know and love.
We were also told that Amy's adorably awkward Leslie Knope would be involved in a salacious sex scandal. Could this mean that these two real-life lovebirds are gonna be doin' the nasty?! (You know, onscreen?)

Out With a Bang: Ashlee and Colin Shoot "Crazy Naked" Sex Scene Before Leaving Melrose
Looks like the Parents Television Council is going to have more ammo.
We're hearing there's going to be a "crazy naked" sex scene on Melrose Place before the two recently ousted players go on their merry way: Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Colin Egglesfield.
How racy is it? "It involves us both wearing half-loin cloths that they had to tape to us," Colin himself tells us. "There are very few clothes involved in the near future."
And if your name is Bronx you probably shouldn't hear this part but Colin says of Ashlee/Violet: "She's up for anything."
Saucy!
Not that we're complaining, but what's behind all of this nakedness, and why is the main suspect in a major murder mystery shacking up with the resident Melrose wackjob? We have more scoop...

Shhh...We Know Something We're Not Supposed to About Dexter
Want to know a deep, dark Dexter secret?
Well, we have one to share, but we should warn you: It's something that is apparently so spoilery and so hush-hush that resident Dexter housewife Julie Benz freaked out when she heard that one of her costars told us about it.
Julie's reaction? "He said that?!" Followed by a quick: "They'll kill me if I say anything!"
So what is the big secret, who spilled the beans, and what else did we guess about Rita that made Julie's jaw drop?
