KellyrutherfordGossip Girl, Brothers & Sisters, The Office, How I Met Your Mother & The Big Bang Theory: Some small-screen scoop to enhance your Thursday...

Upper East Side Secret: You know how Lily Bass (nee Van der Woodsen) has been hiding something big? Well, I'm on to her and want to spill the dirt so badly. But instead I'll just say this: Seems Gossip Girl will be recycling a current 90210 storyline early next year... a storyline which involves a lover from Lily's past whom we know pretty freakin' well.

Calistaflockhart Birth Moms & Baby Daddies: Remember Trish, the seriously put-together, pregnant (soon-to-be) brain surgeon whom we met on last Sunday's episode of Brothers & Sisters? The one who told crazy Kitty she'd be giving her baby to a different adoptive couple? Well, she may have a change of heart. Sources tell me Trish will see the light and walk back into the McCallister's life, delivering a bundle of joy for them in February... I'm also hearing that we haven't seen the last of Holly's baby daddy/Rebecca's real father, David. Word is, Ken Olin will return to Brothers & Sisters early next year.

Bjnovak Office Gossip: This week, EW's Michael Ausiello broke the news of Ryan the receptionist's upcoming leave of absence -- apparently, BJ Novak's got big movie career plans -- but what you haven't heard is that Ryan will throw himself at Kelly Kapoor prior to said departure. And by "prior to," I mean tonight. Mhmmm.

How Barney Met Ted's Sister: Seems Mosby's baby sis recently graduated from college and is seriously considering a move to New York. And yeah, I'm pretty sure the Barnana's going to hit that, much to Ted's chagrin.

Sararue Big Banging: Have you heard about Less Than Perfect's Sara Rue joining the cast of The Big Bang Theory as Leonard's new lady friend? Care for some scoop? She plays a young doctor -- Wolowitz first lures her into the group by promising her a chance to drive the Mars Rover -- who cannot keep her hands off Leonard. As Sheldon states to Penny, they've entered into a romantic relationship with a sexual component. That's right, friends, L-dawg's gettin' laid...

So Lily had a baby with Rufus and gave it up for adoption...

Fran, you beat me!
Yeah, this new Gossip Girl plot is also sort of being played out in Brother's & Sisters (secret love child) and I'm sure the bouncing (adult) baby will be joining the show soon...

Yay, for Big Bang Theory. I dig Sara Rue and the show has been getting better and better as it's found itself.
With Sara Gilbert recently added to the show, they'll now have one of the strongest ensembles on tv.

If Rufus and Lily had a love child can they get Lizzy Caplan to play her? I swear she looks like a brunette version of Serena.

Korbi...please...any Oct Rd update info?

Love Sara Rue coming on to BBT. That should be fun!

Thanks for the great dish!

So, remember how awkward Dan and Serena felt when they knew their parents had dated? Can you imagine how much more awkward it will be when they find out they are actually related to each other through this half-sibling... I mean, seriously- your half-brother/sister is your boyfriend's half-brother/sister? That'd definitely be more than just a little weird...

Kind of like on Brothers and Sister when Justin and Rebecca started dating- it's kinda weird, though technically there's nothing wrong with it- they're not really related, after all. But with this, it's a little more complicated...

Anyway, I totally second the nomination for Lizzy Caplan to play the love child. I think she'd be awesome, esp. since her characters are often a little devious. She'd fit right in.

Glad Sara Rue is coming back to t.v. (she's so darn cute!)....might have to check out "Big Bang" to see her.

Thanks for HIMYM info...Barney perhaps hooks up with Ted's sister as revenge for Robin & Ted hooking up again?! hmmm....


Yes, please, October Road news...I really do need to know that all is forgiven and Eddie and Janet have lived happily ever after!

Thanks for B&S and Office news too...lots of my faves!!

(P.S. Sara Rue guest spot on Chuck someday?! Wouldn't that be great!!!?)

Please! What is the deal with the October Road finale? Thanks!

Gina & Kath - i'm so glad to hear i'm not the only one jonesing for the finsh of October Road!

Alot of the people from OR have been showing up on LIfe on Mars (another great show done by the same guys I think)....

Does anyone else think that Aaron is really Lily & Rufus' son.... He looks NOTHING like CYrus... and an awful lot like Rufus... and the age thing works being he is older than S. Obv not Dan... being Allison knows she gave birth to him. But Aaron's mom is not mentioned... Cyrus was married and left this wife back when the vietnam war was going on... obv not Aaron's mom... so I think he is adopted... S dated 1/2 sibs!

RAE4KMA -- I certainly hope you're wrong. Forget about Serena dating 2 brothers, you're ignoring the obvious --Aaron and Serena have been dating and swapping spit all over NYC, so it would be kinda gross to find out he's her brother!
