RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Rumor has it that Ausiello has been slacking on his Gossip Girl scoop. —Tina
Ausiello:
Rumor has it you smell, but you don’t see me spreading that around, do you? Here’s your damn GG scoop: Tyra Banks’ guest turn as a tempestuous film actress in Monday’s episode is highlarious. Even better, she wasn’t trying to be funny, so you’ll be laughing at her and not with her! Awesome, right? Well, the news just keeps getting better ’cause I gots me a clip!

Question: I’d give my left hand and my first two children (named Aus and Hole, of course) if you would give us a juicy Gossip Girl scoop. The Dan-Georgina hookup ruined Brooklyn for me forever! —Erin
Ausiello:
Well, there’s no D&G in Monday’s episode. There is a fair amount of D&D (Dan and Duff, as in Hilary), and, I have to say, I don’t hate them together. I’m also kind of loving Chuck and Blair as an official couple. Kudos to Team Schwavage for doing what few TV writers have ever been able to — making an entertaining couple even more entertaining together than apart.

Question: Anything on One Tree Hill? —Anita
Ausiello:
Casting scoop! Former NFL star and Hall of Famer John Riggins has been cast in the potentially recurring role of Clay’s boss, Ken Arthur. The sometime-actor (Law & Order: CI, Guiding Light) shows up in episode 10.

Really like the term “Schwavage” but I totally disagree with the rest of the sentence!

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Stop resisting the temptation and tell us: What does Chuck say after he kisses another guy on Gossip Girl? —KB
Ausiello:
He says… Nope, can’t do it. Sorry.

Question: Please calm the storm in the Gossip Girl fandom and tell us if Chuck is going to be bisexual? —Bev
Ausiello:
I’ll say this: The comment Chuck makes post-smooch… Nope, can’t do it. Sorry.

Question: où as tu appris le Français? ça fait bizzare et plaisir à la fois de te lire répondre à Xav. —Guillaume (un autre fan de Gossip Girl Français)
Ausiello:
Je pense à prendre mes vacances de Noël en France. Tu pourrais me trouver un hébergement gratuit (et de préférence luxueux)?

Question: Anything else you can share about Chuck’s big kiss on Gossip Girl? —Nick
Ausiello:
Scandal! The hottie he macks on has played gay before! Former soap star Neal Bledsoe recently shot a guest appearance on Californication as Hank’s vampire-lit loving student. His episode airs Oct. 4. (Not sure if he gets to first base with David Duchovny, but for the purposes of this story, let’s assume he does.)

***

Note #1: the third question approximately translates to the following (I think)–

Question: Where did you learn how to ace French? It was bizzare and gave me pleasure at the same time to read your answer. – Guillaume (another French fan of Gossip Girl)
Ausiello: I’m thinking of spending Christmas in France. Could you find me free lodging (preferably luxurious)?

Note #2: Ed Westwick (Chuck) is also making a guest appearance on Californication this season.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Any Gossip Girl scoop? Please, tell us something that doesn’t have to do with Dan and Georgina or Dan and Olivia. —Fernanda
Ausiello:
Are we on a first name basis with Hilary Duff’s Gossip starlet already? Good to know. Well, speaking of Olivia, there’s a new man in her life. His name is Patrick and they’re co-stars in the Twilight Vampire Knight movie franchise.  Casting is under way for the two-episode role.

Question: Bonjour! Avez-vous des infos sur la saison 3 de Gossip Girl??? Merci beaucoup!!!! —Xav
Ausiello:
Lady Gaga fera une apparition dans l’épisode spécial “Halloween.” Batman aussi. Et Robin. Et… Vous voyez où je veux en venir? (Ce sont tous des déguisements, mon ami!)

****

Here’s an approximate translation of that last question:

Question: Hello! Do you have info on season 3 of Gossip Girl??? Thank you very much!!!! – Xav

Ausiello: Lady Gaga will make an appearance in the special episode “Halloween.” Batman too. And Robin. And… You see where I am going with this? (They all are disguises/costumes, my friend!)

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Who will Robert Buckley’s character be paired with romantically on One Tree Hill? —Jennifer
Ausiello:
A better question is who won’t he be paired with romantically. With only a handful of episodes under his belt, Buckley tells me that his sports agent alter ego has already “been kissed by pretty much every female character on the show. He’s a little bit of a playboy.”

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Regarding the controversial hookup that Dan partakes in on Gossip Girl — is the show finally following the books and exploring Dan’s bisexuality? –Michael
Ausiello:
That’s a negative. His controversial hookup is with a girl.

Question: Do you know if Kate Voegele, Ashley Rickards, and Stephen Colletti will be reprising their roles as Mia, Sam, and Chase next season on One Tree Hill? –Jillian
Ausiello:
Yes, maybe, and yes.

Question: What episode marks the return of Jennie Garth to 90210? –Lee
Ausiello:
That would be episode 3.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Now that Mercy will begin on NBC earlier than expected, will Michelle Trachtenberg still be able to fulfill her three-episode arc on Gossip Girl? –Parm
Ausiello:
Unfortunately for Blair, yes, she will. The onetime Queen Bee will have a hard enough time adjusting to college life. Georgina’s arrival as her roommate in episode 2 compounds her misery tenfold.

Question: I would love the scoop on just how much The CW pays you every time you cover Gossip Girl. I don’t doubt that the show has followers, but the coverage EW is giving it has gotten ridiculous! —Frank
Ausiello:
Oooooh, that reminds me: A major Gossip guy decides not to go to college very early in the season. Take your best guess to the comments!

Question: Chuck-Blair scoopage would be delightful! –LH
Ausiello:
Look for C and B to take an unorthodox approach to warding off the seven-week itch.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Could you reward us with a little Gossip Girl scoop? Just enough to tide us over ’til September? Pretty please? –Jon
Ausiello:
There will be a controversial hookup early on in season 3. And one of the participants of said controversial hookup will be Dan. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Question: Is Vanessa from Gossip Girl going to get her own storyline next season? Despite what some may think there is Vanessa love out there. –Jess F.
Ausiello:
Yes, she’s getting her own storyline. A romance, in fact. With someone she met briefly at the end of last season. Commence with the dot connecting.

RELEVANT QUESTIONS–DON’T READ IF YOU DON’T WANT TO KNOW!!!

Question: Is Jennie Garth going to appear in any episodes of 90210 next season? –Emil
Ausiello:
There’s nothing on the books yet, but a rep for the show says “the intention is to have Jennie back next season.” In other 90210 news, former Law & Order ADA Elisabeth Rohm will guest star as a robot bitchy socialite who locks horns with Naomi in at least one episode.

Question: Here’s a question: What the heck has the awesome Melinda Clarke been up to? –Tammy
Ausiello:
Big scoop: She’s starring in a new TV series as a housewife by day and a spy by night. Unfortunately, the show isn’t real; it’s part of an upcoming Entourage subplot.

**Note: Clarke played Julie on The O.C.
