Law & Order: SVU: In tomorrow’s season finale, Olivia seduces one character and bitch slaps another. Care to guess which one is Stabler? BTW, there’s still no deal in place for Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni to return next season, but I hear talks are “moving in the right direction.”
Greek: Kadeem Hardison (A Different World) has been cast as Ashleigh’s father, Brian Howard, in a season 3 episode. Pops arrives on campus to spend Father-Daughter Weekend at the ZBZ sorority with Ash.
Gilmore Girls: Nope, the show isn’t returning. And I don’t have an update on a possible movie. I do, however, have good news for fans of Gilmore guy Matt Czuchry. The pilot for his new CBS legal drama, The Good Wife, doesn’t suck. Like, at all. (Watch a clip here.)
How I Met Your Mother: Dream Emmy Ballot nominee Neil Patrick Harris is dropping by Smurf Village my office later this week to discuss some pressing Mother issues as well as his stint hosting this Sunday’s Tony Awards. Send your Qs to ausielloscoop@ew.com sooner rather than later.
Blind item: The coolest casting coup in recent memory was supposed to be finalized this week. Now I’m hearing it’s not happening at all. The only hint I can give you is that it involves an actress we adore and a show we’re obsessed with. And no, this is not a follow-up to my Summer Glau-Dollhouse story.

Blind Item guess – Kristen Bell and Chuck.
Carrie, that was my exact guess too. And if it wasn’t Kristen Bell, my next guess was Lauren Graham.
Are you cracked out? When you put the words “Gilmore Girls” in a headline I expect wonderful, fabulous, “We’re coming back for season 8 where Rory wakes up from her stupid, ‘I’m breaking up with Logan’ dream and rory and Lorelai are having a joint wedding, the ultimate in tackiness. Instead we get something that is barely related. BOOO AUSIELLO WTF is wrong with you
You are such a tease… thought there was news on the Gilmore movie.
I was going to say Lauren Graham to The Office for the BI.
I love gilmore girls, but you had me at BENSON/STABLER! WHAT IS GOING ON!!!!! Love them….
is the blind item Evan Rachel Wood in True Blood? CAUSE THAT HAS TO HAPPEN
Ooooh Logan in a new show! Man was Rory dumb to dump him! I was already gonna check this show out, now I have another reason
.
Also yay that the blind item is NOT Summer Glau and Dollhouse cause that needs to happen somehow!
i really hope Benson is seducing Stabler oh god
I doubt Benson will seduce Stabler, unless they are undercover. I think he’ll get slapped.

I beleived the Blind Item is….the show Lauren Graham was developing wasn’t picked up….when will we see her again on TV?
I was guessing Lauren Graham also, but thought the show would be Gossip Girl.
Ummmm……Heather Locklear on “Glee”??
If you hear that it is not happening at all, then why would it be a blind item?
Katherine Heigl…Grey’s?
Lauren Graham, LOST.
I hope whatever it is, it involves Lauren Graham…I wojuld watch anything with her.
Kristen Bell to Chuck might be it. I am skeptical about Bell, but I am far more positive about Chuck. Josh Swartz said there would be a new love interest getting in the way of Chuck and Sarah being together although he didn’t say which character would be getting the love interest.
Lauren Graham was funny and so hot in Bad Santa:

Guess is Lauren. Love her
Um, if it’s not returning you better tell ABC Family and their: http://community.abcfamily.go.com/blogs/gilmore-girls/season-7-premieres-june Season 7 of Gilmore Girls starting this month!
How in the world could it be Lauren Graham, people? She was too busy working on her own new show to sign up for another one.
Kate, season 7 of Gilmore Girls aired on the CW two years ago. This is not a new season ABC Family is about to air, it is just the first time they are showing it as reruns.
April-Ann, since Lauren Graham’s pilot wasn’t picked up she certainly could sign on with another show. The bigger question is how they would work around her stint with Guys and Dolls, which she is contracted with until October.
Somehow, some way, Lauren Graham needs to come back to tv!
Benson and Stabler: whatever it is, it is worth to be watched… I am looking forward to seeing what’s going on in tomorrow’s season finale!
@april ann…Lauren graham isn’t busy working a new show. ABC passed on the pilot.
I thought there was an article in the TV Guide saying that Meloni & Hargitay have signed contracts for Season 11…Hargitay flew to Los Angeles to meet with Dick Wolf…
hey on abc family they had a comercial for the new gilmor girls season. They did however use old clips. I am confused I heard about a 4 hour movie though. Still doing detective work.
Blind Item – Kristen Bell returning to Heroes?
The erstwhile coup is soooo Kristin Chenoweth joining the cast of ‘Glee’. I feared from the start it was too awesome to happen.
I’m guessing Kristen Bell on 24. That show’s casting like crazy right now.
