“Since I have two daughters, I’ve seen Kit Kittredge easily 100 times,” explains executive producer Andy Gordon. “While writing the finale, there seemed to be a moment that would work as a flashback to young True, and I immediately flashed on Willow. She is so adorable, I can’t imagine we won’t use her in the coming season.”
Meanwhile, comedy writer Scott Aukerman, who says he was the head comedy writer for the awards show, also claims on his blog that “the Bruno/Eminem incident was staged,” explaining “they rehearsed it at dress and yes, it went as far as it did on the live show.”
MTV and Eminem have had no comment.
Sources confirm to me exclusively that Brian Austin Green is in advanced talks to join the cast next season as a series regular. “They’re ironing out a few issues,” notes a Tree Hill insider, “but it’s pretty much a done deal.”
Who is Green playing and what does it mean for Nathan (James Laferty)? Keep reading and find out!
The 90120 Sarah Connor Chronicles star would play Nathan’s Jerry Maguire-esque sports agent, Clayton.
As you know, Green had a starring role in The CW pilot Body Politic. When that show failed to snag a spot on the fall schedule, network brass approached him with the Tree Hill gig.
Clayton is one of three new characters OTH will be introducing in its seventh season. Still to be cast are the roles of Haley’s older sister and a model-actress Brooke hires to be the new face of her clothing line.
Okay, Tree huggers, this is your first glimpse of OTH 2.0. Do you like what you see? Sound off below!
Nip/Tuck‘s “Hope Diamond of transsexuals” is back!
Famke Janssen has cut a deal to reprise her role as gender-bending sociopath Ava Moore for the FX drama’s seventh and final season, series creator Ryan Murphy confirmed via the show’s online fan forum.
“Just finished the last [Nip/Tuck] script today — the 100th episode,” Murphy wrote. “The end. Very strange. But I thought I would confirm something here on the forum, since you’ve all been so great and loyal: Ava Moore (Famke!) returns for the final two episodes.”
Ava, arguably one of the show’s most memorable characters ever, was last seen jetting off to Paris shortly after completing her final gender reassignment surgery at the end of season 2.
FX has yet to set a date for Nip/Tuck‘s seventh season. Heck, they still haven’t announced when the sixth season will air! The upside? It leaves plenty of time for you guys to weigh in on Janssen’s comeback in the comments section!
Law & Order: SVU: In tomorrow’s season finale, Olivia seduces one character and bitch slaps another. Care to guess which one is Stabler? BTW, there’s still no deal in place for Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni to return next season, but I hear talks are “moving in the right direction.”
Greek: Kadeem Hardison (A Different World) has been cast as Ashleigh’s father, Brian Howard, in a season 3 episode. Pops arrives on campus to spend Father-Daughter Weekend at the ZBZ sorority with Ash.
Gilmore Girls: Nope, the show isn’t returning. And I don’t have an update on a possible movie. I do, however, have good news for fans of Gilmore guy Matt Czuchry. The pilot for his new CBS legal drama, The Good Wife, doesn’t suck. Like, at all. (Watch a clip here.)
How I Met Your Mother: Dream Emmy Ballot nominee Neil Patrick Harris is dropping by Smurf Village my office later this week to discuss some pressing Mother issues as well as his stint hosting this Sunday’s Tony Awards. Send your Qs to ausielloscoop@ew.com sooner rather than later.
Blind item: The coolest casting coup in recent memory was supposed to be finalized this week. Now I’m hearing it’s not happening at all. The only hint I can give you is that it involves an actress we adore and a show we’re obsessed with. And no, this is not a follow-up to my Summer Glau-Dollhouse story.
If my Dream Emmy Ballot had included the guest acting categories there’s no question The Office‘s Amy Ryan would have made the cut. It’s not like she’ll need the extra push though. It’s a foregone conclusion that her freakin’ hilarious work as Michael’s soul mate Holly will earn her a nod. It’s also a foregone conclusion that if Ryan were to ever pay me a visit at work I would do two of the following things: gush about her awesomeness and grill her for scoop about Holly’s inevitable return next season. I think I succeeded on both counts…
