The latest from Kristen @ E!:
David in Tampa, Fla.: Do you have any early scoop for next season on Smallville?Yep! It's not easy being green, but apparently it pays to be Green Arrow. My sources tell me that Justin Hartley will be back on Smallville as Green Arrow/Oliver Queen for the majority of the season. Me = tickled pink. Love that guy.
Janet in R.I.: Anything new to report on Harold Perrineau’s death on Lost? I was so sad to see him go!
You and me both, babe. But the good news is that Harold is set to star in a dramedey on ABC (he was cast in the pilot The Unusuals), which is music to my ears. If you’ve seen much of H.P. in real life, you know he is (a) hilarious, (b) funny and (a) did I mention the funny? And of course, he can act his ass off. Personally, I never felt like poor, unlikable Mikey-poo did him much justice, so a fresh start where he can flaunt his comedy chops sounds good all around to me. Just my opinion!
Ezra in Brooklyn, N.Y.: Is BSG gonna air through the summer or are they cutting it in half?
Half, the midseason finale of Battlestar Galactica airs June 13. The remaining 10 episodes of the series have not yet been scheduled, but they are finishing them up this month. The good news is that according to the awesome Maureen Ryan,
up to three more BSG telemovies may be made before they strike the sets of the show, depending on which castmembers are available.
Nadia in Palmdale, Calif.: Hey Kristin! Are you going to visit the set of Prison Break anytime soon?
As a matter of fact, I'm hitting the set next week! Can I tell you how happy I am to have those guys right down the road instead of thousands of miles away in some disgusting, dirty, smelly, hot prison? (Hmph. Though I will miss the sweat and the clinging effect it tends to have on any washboards lying around.) Email your Q's for Wenty and company to
tvdiva@eonline.com, and I'll do my very best to get you answers. No word yet on who'll be on set while I'm there, but here's hoping for a rendezvous with the triumphantly re-headed Sara!
Layla in Roswell, Ga.: Since your frenemy Ausiello is (temporarily) out of the scoop game, care to celebrate with some House scoop? Preferably Huddy? Pretty please?
Remember when I emailed executive producer David Shore some questions about House? He pointedly did not answer the one that was phrased thusly: "The only way to make it up to me for killing Cutthroat Bitch is to have House be Cuddy's sperm donor next season. Any chance my crazy pipe dream of House impregnating Cuddy will come true?" He just skipped it. Do with that what you will...
Mena in Los Angeles: Please, spill the beans! Is there a chance that my darling Jin survived the freighter explosion on Lost?
Jin is gonna be fine. I don't know exactly how, but he's going to be fine. I suspect that the difference between Michael's and Jin's survival is that Michael was trapped inside the hold, whereas Jin being up on the edge of the deck meant he had a chance to be blown clear of the ship. Besides, the guy magically survived the crash of a 747 and the wreck of the raft. No reason he shouldn't survive this shipwreck—I choose to believe the Island clearly joins us all in loving him and wanting to keep him around.
Cristina L. in Miami: About the person leaving Lost next season but returning the for season six...You said it's a girl from the first season, so is Rose included, or do you just mean Kate, Sun and Claire.
Rose would have been included, but as revealed in the Redux's "What's to Come" section, Emilie de Ravin will be on a holding contract with Lost for season five and returning in season six. But don't worry, you can get your Emilie fix elsewhere in the coming year: She's got a part in the Johnny Depp flick Public Enemies, she's in the period baseball picture The Perfect Game with Clifton Collins Jr. and last but not least, she'll be costarring in Ball Don't Lie with Nick Cannon and Ludacris. Even without Lost, she's going to be a busy cookie!
Marc in Brooklyn, N.Y.: When Ben was in the funeral parlor in the finale, was that live, real, off-island Ben or dead, spirit-vision Ben?
I had to read the comments of the Redux to figure this out (thank you Nick!), but I think that was the real Ben, because...When he moved the Island, he was teleported (or whatever) to the Tunisian desert, where we find him at the beginning of the circa 2005 flash-forward in "Shape of Things to Come." When we first see him in that scene, he has a wound that matches the cut on his arm at the end of "No Place Like Home." Crazy, right? So, to me, it does seem like he's been genuinely exiled from the Island, and since he leapt forward to 2005 he has been living and working only in the "real world."
Sean: I have one quick question about Fringe: Is John Noble as Walter Bishop as amazing as what I've seen so far in the trailers and sneak peeks?
Yes. And what surprised me most about Walter Bishop is his sense of humor. It's sly and subtle—very different than his son's—but it's absolutely there. He made me giggle more than once.
"Zachary Levi is seeing double, he informed TV Guide at Sunday's "A Time for Heroes Carnival" sponsored by Disney to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation. The culprit: Season 2 of NBC's Chuck. "It's twice the action, twice the drama and twice the romance," Levi teases. "It's Chuck squared." In fact, upcoming storylines play with the theme of twos. "Chuck dies, twice," Levi reveals. "It's crazy."What else is on the horizon for the spy comedy? "
