Spoiler: Ask Ausiello

8 10 2009

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

Question: So, inquiring minds want to know: Is Rachel Bilson the mother on HIMYM? —Jeremy
Ausiello:
Look for exclusive details about Bilson’s character in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly (on sale Friday). In the meantime, Craig Thomas — who once again promises that episode 100 will feature “some pretty exciting stuff on the mother front” — says he and fellow exec producer Carter Bays are “big fans” of the former O.C. star. “She’s charming and great and we’re [excited] for her to come into such a big episode.”

Question: Are you going to narrow down the list of Gossip Girl threesome possibilities? —Sharon
Ausiello:
Yes, but not here. It wouldn’t be appropriate. I’ll do so in the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on sale Friday.

Question: I know you won’t tell us who is going to partake in the threesome on Gossip Girl, so I won’t even bother asking. I just want to know if it’s a dream or if it’s real. —Fernanda
Ausiello:
Oh, it’s real.

Question: I would love some (good) news about Chuck and Blair from Gossip Girl! —Lisa
Ausiello:
It doesn’t get much better than this: They’re still together and (relatively) happy through at least episode 11.

Question: Please tell me your Love and War blind item does not pertain to Ed Westwick and Leighton Meester? That would totally ruin Gossip Girl for me! —Whitney
Ausiello:
It’s not them either. Okay, this marks the end of the Love and War eliminations. You’re on your own now!

Mischa Barton on The O.C.

17 09 2009

“I was 16 when I went to do ‘The O.C.,’ and it was a great experience, it changed my life. It made me famous and everything.”

“I was younger than all the other kids, and it was just me and two boys in the beginning. Rachel Bilson [Summer] came in eventually, but in the very beginning of that show it was just me and the two boys who were season regulars. It was really overwhelming to have all that press on me.”
