Watch with Kristin

By now, some of you have seen it: Tonight's ménage à twist that had the Parents Television Council all in a tizzy.

(If you haven't, read no further until you do.)

So what happens next on Gossip Girl? Are D and O over? What about V? And what's this about a certain Miss Lady Gaga getting in on the action? And a Gossip Girl heading to the hospital?

We have the scoop in our latest roundup of exclusive TV dish, along with the latest on Grey's hot couplings (will it be Cristina and Owen or Cristina and Jackson?), Chuck's sad news for fans of Sarah and Chuck, and a breakup on Friday Night Lights...

Lucas in Evanston, Ill.: Forget Owen and Cristina on Grey's Anatomy! Give us some scoop on Cristina and Jackson! Please?

OK, OK, we hear you!

Apparently all you TV fans want to know about is:

• House and Cuddy and the possibility of hanky-panky
• The Office's new Jim and Pam (is it blasphemy to call them that?)

We've done some digging with inside sources (and a couple of castmembers themselves) to come up with inside info for you.

Read on for our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...

Sherrie in Louisiana: Forget Jam. I'm digging this Erin and Andy flirtation on The Office! Will they actually hook up?

Welcome to the climactic final battle of Vampire Wars! We've been pitting three structurally similar vampire-tastic TV series against each other, and now it's time to decide which show has the sexiest vampire with a heart of gold. These guys are built to kill and eat nubile young things, but in each case, a chance encounter with a very special nubile young thing causes them to instantaneously mate for life and get all heroic, violating a bunch of standard protocols of vampire-dom.

Your choices this round are David Boreanaz's Angel from Buffy and Angel, Paul Wesley's Stefan Salvatore from the breakout CW hit Vampire Diaries, and Stephen Moyer's Bill Compton from HBO's supernatural party bus True Blood.

Then, since the "good vampire" industry has been dominated of late by a certain Edward Cullen from the Twilight saga, we're offering you a bonus round, where you can decide between those first three and your boo Edward. (Plus, inspired by on a fan suggestion, we even set up a nonofficial do-over of the Best Heroine round that includes Bella Swan. We're expecting an epic Buffy-Bella throwdown in that category!)

You'll be able to cast your votes throughout Halloween weekend. If you didn't already cast your ballot for Best Heroine, Best Evil (Yet Hot) Vampire, Best Best Friend and Best Xander/Wayward Little Brother, what are you waiting for? We'll declare the final winner of Vampire Wars on Monday in the spoiler chat. (Hint: Things are looking good for a certain Slayer, so True Blood and Vampire Diaries fans need to step it up if they want a chance at winning!)

Crisis averted. After we fans got our first glimpse at True Blood season three earlier this week, there was widespread concern that werewolf Alcide Herveaux, a major fan fave character from the third book, would not be part of season three. Well, we caught up with True Blood boss Alan Ball last night, and he assures us that Alcide is present and accounted for in season three. (Woo!)

Alan tells us that not only does Alcide appear, but that he's bringing his backstory from the books with him: "Alcide Herveaux is going to be on TV. We haven't cast him yet, but I believe he appears first in the third episode. Alcide is already in love with someone, a very bad woman named Debbie Pelt. But will he fall in love with some else? It's too soon to say."

We learned a great deal more last night at the fantastic True Blood writers' event hosted by the Paley Center. Among other things, there was a promise from Ball that one of your fan-fave actors won't be marginalized on the TV series (even if Charlaine Harris does have it in for his character in the books), and crucial info about where/when/how you can next see Alexander Skarsgård nekkid. Here's what we learned about this very, very important question:

Every center-of-the-universe TV heroine needs a great best friend to keep her grounded, and the leading ladies of our three vampire shows are no exceptions. For that matter, these girls (don't call them sidekicks!) bring their own mojo to the party. Buffy's BFF Willow (Alyson Hannigan) on Buffy the Vampire Slayer turned out to be pretty much the most powerful witch evar, Elena's best friend Bonnie (Katerina Graham) on The Vampire Diaries has second sight, and Sookie's beloved Tara (Rutina Wesley) on True Blood is so saucy and snarky, it's almost a superpower. But which bestie is best? That's what we have Vampire Wars for, silly! So you can tell us!

And in today's Vampire Wars doubleheader, we're also asking you to choose the most essential helpless mortal young'un.

Jump inside to tell us which Zeppo you prefer: Sookie's libido-driven ditzy sibling, Jason Stackhouse (Ryan Kwanten), Elena's drug-addled baby bro, Jeremy Gilbert (Steven R. McQueen) or simultaneously valiant and cowardly Sunnydale native Xander Harris (Nicholas Brendon)—Xander's not technically a little brother, but he sure does give off that vibe, doesn't he?

True Blood is back! Er, wait, that's not right.

OK, let's try this again: In just nine or 10 short months, True Blood returns to HBO for season three, but to tide us over during the looong wait, we've got our hands on a leaked casting call that offers a sneak peek of things to come. (Preproduction is already underway on the new episodes and filming is set to begin in early December.)

Where's Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) been taken? Are there any familiar faces from the books in episode one of season three? And who's the new girl banging Eric (Alexander Skarsgård)? Here's what we can tell you...

"And you’re what, shocked and disappointed? I’m evil." —Spike

Vampire Wars continues! As we explained earlier this week, we've decided that, structurally speaking, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, True Blood and The Vampire Diaries are all the same show. Girl meets soft-hearted vampire, girl enters bizarre world of the occult, girl gets mixed up in some stuff, girl hooks up with hard-bodied other vampire, wackiness (and bloody good scandal) ensues.

But which of those wicked, supersexy vamps is the best? It's time to decide who's the best evil (yet hot) TV series vampire, and you have to make the nearly impossible choice between James Marsters' bitingly funny Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Alex Skarsgård's Viking vampire Eric Northman on True Blood, and Ian Somerhalder's devilish Damon on The Vampire Diaries.

So...who do you love? Tell us in the poll below!

We had an epiphany earlier this week: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Vampire Diaries and True Blood are all the same show. All three vampire series are about an impossibly attractive and moderately magical heroine from small-town America who must balance the demands of friends and family with her problematic feelings for not one but two local vampires: a broody good one with an itchy conscience and a sexy bad one who likes to, um, eat women.

So, between now and Halloween, we'll be pitting the casts of our three favorite vampire shows (sorry Moonlight) against each other in a little fan challenge we're calling Vampire Wars. We're setting up fights between characters from BTVS, TVD and TB in five competitions over the coming days, and the best out of five wins. You have to vote early and often in all five categories if you want your show to take home the trophy.

First up, tell us which vampire-show leading lady is tops: Buffy, Elena or "Sookeh" Stackhouse...

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!

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.

We have some fangtastic news, tubers!

All right, that was a bit much, but we just can't hide our excitement. Those nice folks at the Paley Center in Los Angeles are giving True Blood fans the chance to get up close and personal with the geniuses behind TV's hottest vampire series.

No, real-life lovebirds Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer won't be there, but this is your chance to hear scoop on the upcoming third season from the writers themselves, including show runner extraordinaire Alan Ball.

And for being a loyal Watch With Kristin devotee, we're giving you the goods first. Tickets for True Blood: Inside the Writers Room will be available this Thursday, Oct. 1 at the Paley Center website.

Wouldn't you love to toss around some of your own storyline ideas with the powers that be, or even just ask one of many burning Q's—like why it took so long to kill off Maryann? Yeah, we thought so.

True Blood: Inside the Writers Room happens Wednesday, Oct. 28 at 7 p.m. See you there!
