Hooray for the sexual Petri dish of prime time! Not only is Gossip Girl's much-buzzed-about threesome on the way (and yes, we have scoop on that, too), but sources are buzzing about a new core coupling on the way that many of you fans have been speculating about...

Is it Dan and Blair? Nate and Serena? Dorota and a new feather duster?

(Hmmm...That last one might be too hot for the CW.)

Oh yeah, and did we mention someone's going to die on Melrose Place...and on Dexter? Or how about the latest on Grey's, Glee and Modern Family?

It's all in our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...

Becky in Greensboro, N.C.: Please tell House fans if there will be any good House-Cuddy stuff this season!

Desperate Housewives: Reps for the ABC drama scoff at rumors that Whitney Houston is in talks to join the cast. Do you think Whitney should take up TV acting? What show do you see her on?

Gossip Girl: It's true, there will be a Gossip threesome, but sources are staying mum on the deets.

Gossip Girl: Sources confirm that Lady Gaga appears as herself in an upcoming episode.

How I Met Your Mother: Mo Ryan reports that Tim Gunn is set to guest star as himself on HIMYM's 100th episode. Gunn will help famously besuited Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) resolve a sartorial crisis.

The Vampire Diaries: Everybody's a-twitter about these promo stills from the Oct. 15 flashback episode. Hoopskirts, ahoy!

We've got the dish on Bree Buckley's bad intentions on Gossip Girl. (Did you really think she was as good as she seemed?) Plus, read on to find out which couple is due for some devastating news on One Tree Hill, Lisa Edelstein talking Jen Morrison's House exit, Lo Bosworth spilling on the future of The Hills, and Lance Reddick on an Observer-centric ep of Fringe...

Kelly in Ft. Myers, Fla.: I've heard that our favorite Dollhouse may be in danger. Does it help the rating if people watch on iTunes or Hulu? I always try to do my best.

How I Met Your Mother may really, truly, finally be revealing Ted's baby mama—and right now, the likely candidate is one of our absolute faves, Miss Rachel Bilson.

A show rep confirms to us that Rachel has been picked for the potentially pivotal part, which ties in perfectly with reports from our best frenemy earlier this week stating the HIMYM 100th-episode celebration is set to be mom-centric. Show runners had been "spending a lot of time trying to cast the female role in Ted's story" for the landmark ep, said Ausiello.

So is Rachel's character the real deal? While it seems likely that the adorable starlet is the mama-related lady in question, Bilson's rep tells us that she's only signed on to appear in the one episode.

So is this just the next Stella (Sarah Chalke) to our Ted or will Bilson pop up again somewhere down the road as—wait for it!—the actual mother? Fingers crossed!

How I Met Your Mother: They are casting the mother as we speak! In January's 100th episode, Ted gets very close to revealing who the mom is—and NPH heads up a HIMYM musical number!

Desperate Housewives: Did you see last night's D.H. premiere? Did you see who Mike married?! We don't want to spoil it for you if you missed, but if you did, Marc Cherry dishes on how this surprise unfolded on Wisteria Lane.

V: In strange schedule update news, ABC has will debut its first four episodes of the new series beginning Nov. 3 then take a short hiatus while the Winter Olympics air. We're not worried—V is totally worth the wait.

Project Runway: Whew! Michael Kors is back in action on this week's P.R. We were getting pretty tired of those less-catty, stand-in versions of the fashion icon.

The Beautiful Life: And just in case you've been living under a rock, Mischa Barton's foray back into your living rooms has been cut short. But TBL's loss is Melrose Place's gain, which will now run reruns in its place.

In lieu of this week's Spoiler Chat (sorry!), we're answering a few questions to help tide you over:

Jonathan in New York: More on the HIMYM mom, please.

We're less than a week away from the How I Met Your Mother premiere, tuberinos, and we have four superfun sneak peeks just for you. What's the gang been up to since we've been away?

Lily (Alyson Hannigan) is in absolute heaven upon hearing about Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin's (Cobie Smulders) summer of doin' the nasty, but much to her dismay, the lovebirds aren't intersted in putting a label on their fling just yet.

Luckily for everyone (viewers included), Lily refuses to accept their unexclusivity and takes drastic action that involves Marshall (Jason Segel) and an Indiana Jones-esque whip.

Want more? Click in to see Marshall's desire for a tuxedo-night invite, Robin's lame attempt at a date night with the anti-Barney (boo!) and the newly dubbed Professor Mosby's (Josh Radnor) first day of college.

We love Neil Patrick Harris just as much as the next gal, but we can't help but wonder: Should American Idol leave the judging up to the true recording-industry professionals?

The How I Met Your Mother star is sitting at the judges table today for the Dallas auditions, a Fox rep confirmed to us.

And yes, we know NPH has succeeded on Broadway and has sung a tune or two elsewhere in his entertainment endeavors. But does that make him a great judge for this type of competition? Take our poll below to let us know what you think and then hit the comments with your arguments.

• Dexter: New promo photos of Dexter season four have surfaced! The stills show Rita (Julie Benz) and Dexter (Michael C. Hall) living in marital bliss together with baby Harrison, who looks so cute you want to pinch him, but don't, since his dad's a serial killer.

• Smallville: Finally, the promo you Smallville fans have all been waiting for. The new clip is slightly different from the one shown at Comic-Con, but you still get to see Clark (Tom Welling) in the new super suit. Sadly, the love scene between Lois (Erica Durnace) and Clark is much shorter—don't blink around 1:07.

• Supernatural: Satan is coming! Seriously...watch the Supernatural season five promo, and prepare yourself for a devilish new season.

• Dollhouse: Fox has released new season two promo shots for Dollhouse. Did you miss Echo (Eliza Dushku)? Because if you didn't, get a load of what she looks like here and then try answering again.

• How I Met Your Mother: HIMYM is finally coming back to your television! Want to see Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) and Robin (Cobie Smulders) get closer? Yes you do!

Are you excited for the new photos and promos? Hit the comments to discuss which show you're looking forward to most.
