In the final minutes of last night’s Nip/Tuck, Kimber took a suicidal dive into the ocean, leaving her fate uncertain. Will she be picked up by a fishing boat? Wake up and ask for a margarita? Or is our favorite dysfunctional bombshell really a goner? SPOILER ALERT: She’s dead. The first step in the grieving process is denial. The second is reading a Q&A with the dearly departed character’s portrayer — in this case, Kelly Carlson. The actress dished to EW.com’s Sandra Gonzalez exclusive deets about Kimber’s death, TV mom Melanie Griffith, and the end of Nip/Tuck. READ FULL STORY »

Ask Ausiello: Spoilers on 'Lost,' 'Glee,' 'True Blood,' 'Gossip Girl,' and more!
Got a scoop request? An anonymous tip you’re dying to share? Just want to say hi? You can send any/all of the above to ausielloscoop@ew.com
Question: How about you try something new in Ask Ausiello this week and talk about Lost. Remember that show? —Eddie
Ausiello: Hmmm… I think that’s the show I just got some exclusive casting news on. According to a well-placed insider, Fisher Stevens will resurface this season as the late George Minkowski. That’s the show you’re talking about, right?
Question: I’m literally dying for True Blood news. Please save me from dying a slow, painful death. —Demi
Ausiello: Your life-saving scoop has arrived! It’ll take three villains to replace last season’s one Big Bad, Maryann. “We have a triumvirate of evil this season,” reveals exec producer Alan Ball. “I’m talking about Franklin Mott, Russell Edgington, and Debbie Pelt. They are all bad to the bone. They’re not just crazy, they’re evil.” Speaking of the yet-to-be-cast Debbie Pelt, Ball tells me that Alcide’s psycho ex will actually have a bigger role than first thought. “We actually beefed up Debbie,” he says. “She’s going to be in more episodes, so maybe that will have an impact on [what actress] we can get for her, which is a big question right now.” READ FULL STORY »

'90210' co-star Rob Estes to quit show
The CW has confirmed multiple online reports that Rob Estes, who plays Harry Wilson on 90210, is quitting the two-year-old series. “This is Rob’s last season on 90210,” according to a statement from The CW. “He’s a talented actor and we couldn’t have asked for a better Harry Wilson. But if fans tune in, they’ll understand why Rob’s character is leaving.”
The actor is reportedly leaving over compensation issues. He released this statement today: “This is my final season on 90210 and I wish the show, cast and crew nothing but the best. I am looking forward to spending time with my kids and exploring other opportunities.”
Though its become a critical hit under executive producer Rebecca Sinclair, 90210 is struggling in the ratings. The show is only averaging 2.08 million viewers, down 18% from last year. It’s currently the CW’s seventh most popular show, behind America’s Next Top Model, Vampire Diaries, and Smallville, among others.

AMC comes on board for Frank Darabont's 'The Walking Dead' TV series
AMC announced plans today to build on the success of Mad Men and Breaking Bad by developing dramas based on the comic book series The Walking Dead and another inspired by the Danish TV series Forbrydelsen called The Killing. Frank Darabont (The Shawshank Redemption) will write, direct and executive produce the previously announced The Walking Dead, which follows a group of survivors after a zombie apocalypse, while The Killing, from writer and executive producer Veena Sud (Cold Case), is a Seattle-based drama that follows the investigation of a murder.
Both pilots will go into production this spring, and if ordered to series, will help shore up the network’s original lineup of dramas that are both critical favorites and repeat winners at the Emmy and Golden Globes.

'Survivor:' get ready for season 21... and more?
Here’s some promising news for Survivor fans: Though CBS has yet to announce whether the nearly 10-year-old show will end after the upcoming “Heroes Vs Villians” edition that begins Feb. 11, the network just announced a casting call contest for future cycles of the show. Through Feb. 21, the network is teaming with Sears to give fans a chance to upload short videos of themselves that will be whittled down and reviewed by the Survivor casting team. Viewers also will get a chance to weigh in on the potential castaways.
A CBS source confirmed that the network has already starting funding pre-production of Survivor 21, which is traditionally a precursor to a formal order. CBS, in fact, has a few ducks to line up before it fires up production on yet another cycle: The contract for two-time Emmy-winning host Jeff Probst is also up this season.
After 19 cycles, Survivor remains a key player for CBS. Last fall’s edition in Samoa ranked in the Top 20 (13.5 million) and regularly won its timeslot in viewer and young adult demographics.

'House' scoop: Jennifer Morrison on 'resolution' for Cameron and returning next season
This may not entirely appease House fans frustrated by Cameron’s abrupt exit earlier this season, but it’s bound to help: Jennifer Morrison’s imminent comeback, she hints, should give her character, and viewers, closure.
“The audience is going to get the information they were looking for,” says the actress, who declined to confirm the exact length or timing of her return except to tease that it occurs during a ”really smart episode.” READ FULL STORY »

Exclusive: 'Glee' and Neil Patrick Harris to make beautiful music together
Remember that giant scoop I told you (via Twitter) I had gotten at the Golden Globes? This is it: Neil Patrick Harris is nearing a deal to appear in the May sweeps Glee episode that’s being helmed by his Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog director, Joss Whedon.
