SPOILERS!

Question: Your Bones scoop last week was crap. The promos already gave away Booth’s nude scene. Got any legitimate scoop? —Barry
Ausiello: When the show returns on Jan. 14, someone must contend with a positive pregnancy test. Legitimate enough for you?!

Question: There is a rumor circulating that House has a twentysomething son and he’ll turn up in the season finale. Any truth to this? —Malinda
Ausiello: You mean the twentysomething son played by French actor/stuntman Sebastien Soudais? That’s what we in the biz call a full-of-crap rumor. It all got started when the role of “House’s son” suddenly appeared on his IMDB page. “I don’t know who did that,” Soudais tells me of the listing, which has since been removed. “I really like House, but I never would have made something like that up.” Ironically, I’m having the opposite problem. I’ve been trying for weeks to get my upcoming role as Cuddy’s BFF uploaded to my IMDB page but it won’t take. What am I doing wrong?

Question: Loving all the True Blood scoop! More, please! —Hayley
Ausiello: You got it: Roger Sterling’s Mad Men mama, Shannon Welles, has signed on to guest star in an early season 3 episode as a mysterious old woman who lives in the middle of nowhere.

Question: I looked at your midseason TV Cheat Sheet and I noticed that Lie to Me wasn’t mentioned. Does that mean that Fox didn’t order the “back-nine” episodes? —Ari
Ausiello: Look at you throwing around fancy industry lingo. Impressive. Less impressive is the fact that you totally missed my story last month confirming that Fox had indeed picked up the show’s back-nine. The reason it’s missing from the Cheat Sheet is because Fox has yet to assign a return date for the show. But it will return this Spring.

Question: Regarding The Mentalist, when will we learn what Bosco whispered into Jane’s ear just before he died? —Mike S.
Ausiello: Executive producers Bruno Heller and Ashley Gable refused to cough up that little detail. Instead, they coughed up something even better! “We can tell you that Jane’s explanation later in that episode — that Bosco told him to take care of Lisbon and it would haunt him if he didn’t — was a lie.” That is better, right?

Question: I heard that Scott Elrod, who played Cash on Men in Trees, is set to do an episode of Castle. Any idea what part he will be playing? —Kim
Ausiello: He’s Beckett’s new maybe-lover! Lainie fixes them up on a date, and she takes the bait. Seems only fair considering what that horndog Castle’s been up to.

Question: For the record, I totally agree with your assessment of the Golden Globe nominations — Jim Parsons and John Noble are disgustingly absent and it makes me angry. Okay, so onto my question: I am dying for some Glee scoop since I have to wait until April for new episodes! —Sara
Ausiello: The phrase Best. News. Ever. gets used a lot around these parts, but this truly is the Best. News. Ever: Jane Lynch’s campaign to snag a musical moment on the show has ended in victory! “I have read the first two episodes [of the back-nine] and I can tell you that I will be singing and dancing,” Lynch reveals. “I can’t tell you what I’m singing because it’s top-secret.” Just a little hint? Teases Lynch: “It’s a very cold song.” We wouldn’t have it any other way!

Question: As the mother of an absolutely beautiful and wonderful daughter with Down syndrome, I was thrilled to see the characters of Becky and Sue’s sister in Glee’s “Wheels” episode. Any chance these characters will be back? —Cathy
Ausiello: “I hear that that will happen, yes,” confirms Jane Lynch of her TV sis’ return. “I haven’t read anything yet, but I heard that’s in the works for somewhere in the next nine episodes.”

Question: Is Renee Walker bad this season on 24? I’ve heard rumors that she is. —Stefanie
Ausiello: Depends how you define bad. She has essentially morphed into a female Dexter, so girlfriend’s definitely working through some demons.

Question: Friday’s Dollhouse was so awesome with Alan Tudyk. Please tell me he will come back before the end of the series? I need more Alpha! —Jess
Ausiello: He’s back in the series finale on Jan. 22.

Question: I’m convinced that you are deliberately not giving enough Lost scoops just to make me and the rest of the world go crazy. Please! Anything! —Quincy
Ausiello: Ever wonder how Mikhail lost his right eye? You’re about to find out! (Hint: *** knows!)
