It only took a couple of days for A&E to suspend production of their top show Dog the Bounty Hunter, after his use of a racial slur in a private phone conversation.

A&E has just learned of the story released by the National Enquirer concerning Duane Dog Chapman.

We take this matter very seriously. Pending an investigation, we have suspended production on the series. When the inquiry is concluded we will take appropriate action.

I feel bad for Dog, it was a private conversation supposedly sold for the money. The key being PRIVATE conversation, not him standing up to a mic or filmed for an episode of his show. Should production be suspended? I don’t think so. It will be interesting how this all pans out.

Looks like Wilhelmina’s little sister will be heading to Mode! Her younger sister, Dominique, is a girl who loves to party and with more than a couple big secrets in her past. We will keep you posted about who is cast to play baby sis!

Guess that Sheena really doesn’t think that Brad Womack was the man of her dreams after all, since she has already hooked up with a new man (which coincidentally, is against the Bachelor rules she agreed to when she signed up). And not only that, she is headed off to Hawaii with her boy toy as soon as she finishes taping the traditional Women Tell All episode in a couple of weeks.

The 23-year-old graduate of Northgate High School was eliminated from ABC’s reality smoochfest in Monday night’s episode after bachelor Brad Womack handed roses to three other finalists, but bid her farewell.

Millions of television viewers watched as Stewart broke down in the episode-ending limo ride. “My heart feels like it got ripped in half — like it got stepped on,” she said. “… I loved everything about him.”

That scene, however, was shot in mid-August and Stewart insists she’s now so over the Texas bar-owner. So over him, in fact, that she hooked up with a new boyfriend, with whom she plans a trip to Maui shortly after shooting a “Tell-All” special for “The Bachelor” later this week.

“He’s really an amazing guy, and it happened so randomly,” she said during a phone interview on Tuesday. “It makes you believe that everything really does happen for a reason.”

Still, Stewart said her feelings for Womack were “real at the time,” and she’s not embarrassed at all that America saw her lose it over the man touted as “the sexiest bachelor ever.”

I don’t know about you, but I sure think her mom had a big role in why Sheena didn’t get a rose at the last rose ceremony!

Wheee! Dr. Erica Hahn will be sticking around as Dr. Erica Hahn after all. She will become the new staff cardiologist since the ousting of Isaiah Washington’s Burke. One of the doc’s will reportedly have a crush on her… any bets it will be McSteamy? But there is also the possibility that Dr. Hahn is gay…

Also rumored to still be up in the air is whether her romantic sparring partner will be a man or a woman.

“I honestly don’t know,” Smith said when asked if her character is gay. “I’ve certainly let [the producers] know I’m open to it.”

Wheee! We finally have an airdate for the season premiere of October Road. It will get the post-Grey’s Anatomy slot on Thursday, November 22nd at 10pm. Then it will be off to its regular timeslot on Mondays at 10pm a few days later. So we get two new episodes, the first on Thursday November 22nd and the next on Monday November 26th.

All systems are go for the second season.

Private Practice, which is supposedly the “most watched” new show of the season, will be sticking around for the entire season… not that it is much of a shocker! It would have had to finish last each week for ABC not to renew this Grey’s Anatomy spinoff!

Now you have even more reason to be happy Gossip Girl is doing a standard Thanksgiving episode… because it will be flashbacked to last year’s Thanksgiving. And best of all, we will be meeting Blair’s dad… yep, the very one who left Blair’s mom for another man! We will be seeing the old Serena too!

It now seems her role is merely a cameo and not a guest starring role, but Victoria Beckham, AKA Posh Spice, has filmed her role in Ugly Betty, in an episode now aptly titled “Nice Day for a Posh Wedding”. Victoria reportedly earned £70,000 for her role playing herself. And she got to dance on a table top during the bachelorette party. Go Posh!

The episode is scheduled to air in November.

Uh oh! Turns out that Lauren Stamile will be playing a love interest for McDreamy, and not a sibling as so many fans had hoped. She will be joining the cast as a recurring character.

Wonder if this will be some big sweeps thing?

The first full-season pickup of the season is bestowed by CW to their new series Gossip Girl. That means you will have a full 22 episodes to watch as your secret guilty pleasure this season!

“People everywhere are talking about Gossip Girl and we believe this show will continue to build audience as it builds buzz. Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage have created an incredibly heightened-reality world that viewers are locking into while advertisers, affiliates and press have also embraced the show. The series has earned its early pick-up and we look forward to a long run on The CW.”

We have all been waiting for Rory Cochrane, who played Tim Speedle, to return to CSI Miami. Now, rumor had it that he was coming back as a figment of brain injured Delko’s imagination. But now the episode description for “Bang, Bang, Your Debt” sounds more like maybe he really is alive.

A college student is killed in a car fire. As the CSIs investigate the mysterious death, they find evidence that Tim Speedle may still be alive.

Now, check out the rest of the pics from the episode!

None of the photos CBS released show Speed with anyone other than Delko, although that could have been deliberate. But the look on Speed’s face in the last two episodes just makes me think he really is dead… although I hope he’s not.

So whatcha think?

Good news for Veronica Mars fans. James Jordan, who played Lucky in the second season, then Tim Foyle the teaching assistant in season three , is guest starring in an upcoming episode of CSI Miami. He will play Clint Gilmore in the episode Sun Block, which is scheduled for October 29th. The episode follows the case of a serial killer who only strikes during solar eclipses.

We knew Ava (aka Jane Doe) would be back sometime this season, and since the Halloween episode brings a former patient back to visit Alex, we can bet it will be Ava!

The ladies at Seattle Grace form a club after one of the doctors try identical moves on each one of them. Seems the nurses and doctors (possible some interns?) have been comparing notes. I will guess the doctor in question is McSteamy, since he has been commenting on his luck with nurses lately! Would be fun to see what he does when his, um, resources at the hospital dry up!

Also, Meredith believes her mother’s ashes are haunting her (uh, what?) But with Meredith, I can just imagine her believing this.

And then we have Fingerless Guy, played by Jeremiah Hu, who cuts his fingers off with a chainsaw while carving his Halloween pumpkin… but he’s happy because the blood made his pumpkin look better.

Oh, and did we mention that a crazy guy then steals the finger-severing chainsaw to chainsaw off his own ear. Seems he thinks the ear isn’t his. Um, okay.

And a Yang will be dissed by a surgeon she admires. Wonder if this will bring about a change to Cristina, we have definitely seen her being a tad bit more sensitive since the whole Burke brouhaha.

Eeek! Just when we thought it was safe to think maybe Mer & Der would somehow be together this season, Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Lauren Stamile is joining the cast of Grey’s Anatomy in a recurring role… and playing opposite Patrick Dempsey.

I know, I shouldn’t jump the gun, playing opposite could mean something other than a love interest, right? Like a sister or a sister-in-law or a step-sister? Right?

We’ll keep you posted!

Wow, Ausiello sure knows how to dish out the good ones!

Take it from someone who has seen the entire episode — that’s me! — Gizzie is dealt a setback this Thursday when George chooses… um… let’s just say he makes an important decision that sets the stage for Episode 3, “Let the Truth Sting.” Keep in mind, Shonda strongly hinted that Gizzie wouldn’t start to come undone until news of their fling made its way around Seattle Grace. I believe what you witnessed in last week’s opener was the snuggle before the s**tstorm. Another scoopbit: Derek also makes a decision at the end of the episode, and it’s one that’ll make all you Mer-Der fans swoon.

You know, I kind of think this will be interesting to see how this spins out, especially seeing how Callie takes the news. It is too bad Addison left the show, I loved the scenes with Callie and Addision, it actually made me see Callie as a person instead of just “George’s wife” and the one who “took” Bailey’s job. Maybe Private Practice is looking for some new cast members

And now onto Cristina… can’t you just see her reaction to Burke’s mama going all Dr. Phil?

Before she can get a new love interest, she has to purge the old one from her system. And she’ll do just that this Thursday when Mama Burke drops by Seattle Grace to administer a dose of tough love. And Cristina isn’t the only person she goes all Dr. Phil on. As I teased in this week’s Ausiello Report vodcast, Diahann Carroll takes Meredith to task for the “selfish” and “inappropriate” thing she did in last May’s season finale. And don’t even think of asking me for a hint. You know full well what thing I’m referring to.

And apparently tonight’s episode is just as good as one of those killer season two episodes!

OMG, I totally forgot to tell you the most important thing about Thursday’s installment: It’s fraktacular! If you were longing for the good ol’ Grey’s, I’m happy to tell you it makes a triumphant comeback tomorrow night. It had all the snap, crackle and pop of a Season 2 episode. And speaking of triumphs, Chandra Wilson gives a performance that has “2008 Emmy Reel” written all over it. I know it’s early, but I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that supporting-actress trophy is hers to lose.

Ah, don’t you just love Ausiello’s scoops?

The Bachelor Andrew Firestone, who appeared on the show in 2003, is engaged once again. And for all you fairy tale lovers, no, it isn’t to former Bachelorette Jen Schefft. But it is with an actress! The lucky lady is Ivana Bozilovic, a thirty year old model-turned-actress.

Ivana has appeared in Wedding Crashers and National lampoon’s Van Wilder. And yep, Andrew is still managing the wineries.

So we know Blair’s, um, friend, Serena has been away for a year but no one really knows why. Well, we do! Turns out Serena has been in rehab. And according to Ausiello, she’s been at the Ostroff Treatment Center.

Somehow, I just can’t wait to see how this will all spin out! Thoughts?
