Inside TV The Place Where Shows and Stars Click

Elizabeth Mitchell has quickly become every geek's dream girl. Not only is she out for alien blood in ABC's new hit series 'V,' but she's also reprising her role as Juliet, the bomb-detonating bad girl gone good, for the final season of 'Lost.'

And did we mention she's positively lovely in person? That's a pretty amazing trifecta of awesomeness right there.

AOL TV visited the set of 'V' in Vancouver to chat with all of the cast members -- who were wrapping up the fourth and final installment of this first pod of episodes -- including the busy, multi-tasking Ms. Mitchell. While she wouldn't give too much away, she did talk about her character's feisty attitude, trigger temper and the "painful" battle to come.

Read our Q&A to get the full scoop on her inevitable showdown with V queen Anna and why you won't want to miss the first two minutes of the second episode. And if you're dying to hear about her return to 'Lost,' we've got a little tease of that too ...

With Diane Sawyer preparing to go head to head against Katie Couric on the evening news, and with the legendary Barbara Walters, at 80, still competitive but starting to slow down, ABC has to start grooming more women for its news franchises. No one seems to be in a better position to take advantage of this than the respected, if not redoubtable, Robin Roberts.

'Lie to Me' is putting together one of the best casts of recur and guest stars of any two-season-old TV show.

Veteran TV and movie actor Melissa George will star on Fox's 'Lie to Me' as a recurring character later this season, Entertainment Weekly reports. She comes off turns on 'Grey's Anatomy' and 'In Treatment,' the latter for which she received a 2008 Golden Globe nomination.

George will play an "Anna Nicole Smith-type" character named Clara Martin, the widow of a murdered billionaire that takes over her husband's business empire.

The CW's mid-season drama, 'Life UneXpected,' will debut on Monday, Jan. 18 as a temporary replacement for 'Gossip Girl,' in an effort to combat the ratings slump 'GG' suffers during its cycle of post-sweeps repeats.

According to The Futon Critic, the freshman series will moonlight for 'Gossip Girl' for a number of episodes before moving to the 8 PM EST Monday slot, currently occupied by 'One Tree Hill,' to complete its run in the spring.

According to a new Nielsen study, Americans are wasting over 19 hours a day doing something other than watching television.

Admittedly we here at AOL TV are little biased towards the television side of things, but all joking aside, the latest figures from Nielsen are a bit of a surprise considering the amount of time people are now also spending online and pursuing alternate forms of entertainment such as video games.

No doubt aware of industry buzz that Mo'Nique is sure to score an Oscar nomination for her role in 'Precious' as the title character's abusive mother, Terrence Howard offers a bit of helpful advice to the actress and talk show host during an interview on 'The Mo'Nique Show.'

Howard, who was nominated for his role in 'Hustle and Flow,' had this to say on receiving the nomination itself: "You'll be sitting there in front of that television pretending to sleep, and at 5:15 when they mention your name, tears will roll out of your eyes ... and you'll sit there and you'll pray that you are not dreaming."

The world has yet to experience opportunity to court 'Apprentice' super villain Omarosa in a 'Bachelorette'-style television show -- until now!

Variety reports that the most infamous contestant from Donald Trump's reality show is getting her own deal for TV One. Besides finding Omarosa a new love interest, 'Omarosa's Ultimate Merger' wants to paint her in a new, less-evil light. Trump Productions and Juma Entertainment will produce with an initial order of 8 episodes.

Not only will this reunite the reality-watching public with Omarosa, the Donald will appear on camera, offering advice to Omarosa (yep). In a statement, Trump described 'Omarosa's Ultimate Merger' as a "tremendous new show." We shall see.
