This Just In: See Gaga Sing on Gossip Girl
• Gossip Girl: Don't want to wait until Monday to see Lady Gaga's guest gig on Gossip Girl's "Last Days of Disco Stick"? Press play above for a sneak peek of the showy pop star's big musical number.
• Curb Your Enthusiasm: As it turns out, super-Jew Larry David is 37 percent Native American, or so say the geneticists employed by the Lopez Tonight show.
• Private Practice: Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice boss Shonda Rhimes announced that Kate Walsh has joined Twitter, if you're into that kind of thing. You can follow her at @k8_walsh. Now, a question after last night's heartbreak of an episode: Why doesn't Private Practice ever address what must be Addison's loudly ticking biological clock? They confront her lonely girl status, but she's a baby doc for crissakes, and yet she never once has evinced an interest in procreating. Are we the only ones who find that odd?
• Charlie's New Angels: This sounds strangely fun. Sarah Connor Chronicles boss Josh Friedman and multihyphenate cutie Drew Barrymore are collaborating on a possible new Charlie's Angels series for ABC. Got any sexy casting ideas?
• Caprica: The Battlestar Galactica spinoff Caprica has been cut back by one hour to save money. The series, which stars Eric Stoltz and Esai Morales, premieres Jan. 22 on Syfy.

Private Practice: Violet Is Alive, but Is Her Baby?
Spoiler Alert: Violet (Amy Brenneman) is alive! Let's all take a moment to jump for joy now that we know she survived that makeshift surgery by the unstable patient stealing her baby.
Now onto the juicy stuff! Amy is dishing what really happened with the slicing and dicing of Violet's belly, who comes to her rescue and who the real baby daddy is, so be warned. It can't be all serious though; Amy has a good laugh telling the cast of Grey's Anatomy to "calm the hell down."
So can Pete (Tim Daly) and Violet survive this life-changing moment? Watch the video above to get the scoop from Amy, and then read on below for Tim's opinion on the matter.
ABC/RON TOM
Amy seems to think Pete and Violet can withstand anything, but can Pete really love a damaged Violet? Tim Daly tells us, "Violet is so f--ked up. She's got something because a lot of people cut her a lot of slack. A lot of people love her despite all her difficulties, so I would say of course Pete could love her."
What's happened with Violet does spill over to the Oceanside Wellness Center. Tim teases, "There's a lot going on. Violet is going through this trauma that she has to deal with, and that's going to affect everyone around her. Naomi has quit. It's all a big mess."
What we're really wondering about, though, is which guy is the baby daddy? Tim doesn't help us out much there: "The baby might survive and either Pete or Sheldon might be the father. I found out who the father of the baby was yesterday. However it plays out, some poor schmuck—might be me—is going to have to act with a baby a lot."

Oh, Baby! That Was Some Private Practice Finale
ABC/KAREN NEAL
Private Practice's second-season cliffhanger wrung out 9.8 million viewers, up a little under 1 million from last week, and ruled the 10 p.m. hour among adults 18-49, per preliminary Nielsen estimates.
Elsewhere in Thursday's ratings:
• An old Criminal Minds (10.3 million) outdrew, on the whole, the all-new Private Practice, the downsized Southland (6.9 million), and the series it subbed for, the exiled Harper's Island.
• Same old, same old for Grey's Anatomy (13.9 million) and CSI (15.3 million)—Grey's was the night's most demographically desirable show; CSI was the night's most watched show.
• With Grey's and CSI both bigger than last week, The Office (7.3 million), Hell's Kitchen (7 million) and Supernatural (3 million) did well to grow as well. 30 Rock (6 million) was down a touch.
• At 8 p.m., Ugly Betty (6.8 million) was back, bigger than the comedies that had spelled it, but fourth among the big four networks in the demo.
• Survivor: Tocantins (11.7 million), Bones (8.8 million) and Smallville were all up from last week.
• Amy Poehler's Parks and Recreation (5.3 million) is mostly succeeding at not being Kath & Kim.
Private Practice Finale Sneak Peek: Seriously?!
Oh lord.
Being the spoiler divas we are, we knew this was coming, but actually seeing the scandalous and crazy Private Practice season finale twist play out onscreen? That's another thing altogether.
Amy told us in an interview this morning, "Something happens in the finale that is so big and upsetting that it actually makes the question of who the baby's father is secondary," and as you can see for yourself above, Amanda Foreman's delusional character, Katie Kent, lost her own baby, so now she wants Violet's (Amy Brenneman) baby as a replacement. Oy.
(P.S. Believe it or not, that needle stick depicted above is the least of Katie's depredations on poor Vi!)

Private Practice Sneak Peek: Can Addy Save the Day?
For a sneak peek of Thursday's all-new episode of Private Practice, check out the clip above, but then we must discuss: Is Josh Hopkins as Dr. Noah Barnes pure unadulterated (yet somewhat adulterous) evil, or is he the best thing to happen to Private Practice this season? Is he turning Addy to the dark side or does their chemistry override your moral concerns?
