Watch with Kristin

Mark Sloan (Eric Dane) is a dirty dog! As you can see for yourself in the sneak peek above, his new granddaddy gig isn't stopping him from hitting on the pretty new blond doctor. Unlucky for him, then, that the pretty new blond doc is none other than his ex-girlfriend Lexie (Chyler Leigh)!

Plus, get four more sneak peeks, including Bailey's (Chandra Wilson) burgeoning romance, McDreamy's (Patrick Dempsey) new burden as chief of surgery, Little Sloan's (Leven Rambin) secret and the ongoing drama between Teddy (Kim Raver) and Owen (Kevin McKidd)...

• How I Met Your Mother: CBS has followed up Carter and Craig's new overall deal with an early order for season six of How I Met Your Mother. (Awesome.) Above, you can get your first official look at Carrie Underwood guest starring on the show, in what looks to be a fantasy Mad Men spoof featuring Barney (Neil Patrick Harris) as Don Draper.

And speaking of Mad Men, a fan favorite won't be returning next season after all. Plus, which fired female character is unexpectedly back at work on Grey's Anatomy? (Hint: We're not talking about Izzie!)

Aaah! ABC just dropped new photos from the Jan. 21 episode of Grey's Anatomy, and not only will Katherine Heigl be gracing us with her presence, but it looks like separated newlyweds Izzie and Alex (Justin Chambers) are finally going to have a heart-to-heart!

Frankly, we're a little afraid that Iz is just stopping by to break Alex's heart before vanishing again, but the official episode description is more optimistic about the nature of her visit: "After learning of Richard's drinking problem, Derek confronts him for the sake of his friend and the hospital, Izzie returns, hoping to reconcile with Alex, and tensions run high between Teddy, Cristina and Owen in the aftermath of Cristina's startling confession."

What do you think happens between Alex and Izzie in the Jan. 21 Grey's Anatomy episode "I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked"? Shall we play a game of "caption this"? Oh yes, let's do! Come on, TV fans, write your fictitious tales of Alex and Izzie up in the comments, and after the episode airs we'll see who hit closest to the mark.

"Yes, yes and yes!"

This is how Kim Raver answered a certain burning question regarding her romantic status on Grey's Anatomy, but then promptly cut herself off.

"Wait, hold on! Was I supposed to say that? Let me check my notes!" she said with a laugh. (You gotta love the candor.)

I just got off the phone with the always charming Kim—who was just upped to series regular status, hurrah!—and she dished on what's next for Teddy and even answered your fan questions directly.

So what was she (possibly) not supposed to say?

She's a keeper!

That's the official word coming out of Camp Grey's Anatomy today, with the news that TV muse Kim Raver, aka Dr. Teddy Altman, aka "Desert Storm Barbie," has been promoted to series regular. (ABC confirms this news.)

So, with this new blond-leading-lady force on board, what does this mean for Katherine Heigl's long-term status at Seattle Grace? And more importantly, what about Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd)?

Here's what sources are telling me...

Grey's Anatomy: Episode 15 of Grey's Anatomy this season features a flashback to the romance between Chief Webber and Meredith's late mother Ellis Grey, and the series is now casting for younger versions of James Pickens Jr. and Kate Burton.

Hmmm...although the story for this episode is most likely about the roots of Chief's alcoholism, this casting development doesn't do much to debunk rumors that the Hotness Monster is Ellis and Richard's secret love child. (Who is the Hotness Monster? That's Jesse Williams, who plays Mercy Wester Dr. Jackson Avery on Grey's Anatomy but got his fan nickname—say it like Loch Ness Monster—during a stint on ABC Family's Greek.)

Fans have long wondered if Meredith's (Ellen Pompeo) daddy issues with Chief were strictly psychological or if there was a genetic component to the relationship, but attention on the long-lost baby front has now shifted to young Dr. Avery. What's your take on this tantalizing fan speculation?

Glee: The L.A. Times' Hollywood Backlot photographers were on set for the filming of Glee's fall finale, "Sectionals," which airs this coming Wednesday. Our favorite of the 41 snaps is the one that shows off Chris Colfer's adorable dimples.

ABC: We updated our premieres calendar with new return dates for FlashForward (March 4) and V (March 30).

General Hospital: Movie star James Franco confirmed that his G.H. stint is part of a larger performance art project. (Actors. Are. Nutty.)

Jersey Shore: Based on Twitter chitter-chatter, MTV's Jersey Shore appeared to be a big hit, but only 1.4 million people actually tuned in. Did you watch? What did you think?

Merie in Sacramento, Calif.: I heard that Hayden Panettiere from Heroes is hooking up with Jesse McCartney. Is that true?

Dexter is "ridiculous!"

This just in from Michelle in Toronto, who is only about the (oh, let's see, carry the one and we've got) gazillionth fan to email today about  Dexter.

Thankfully, she means ridiculous in a good way. And luckily for you all, we are similarly obsessed and just got what may be a big spoiler on the final two episodes from Dex's show runner Clyde Phillips. (Disclaimer: It is only a short tease, but it is spattery enough you might want to wear protective gear.)

As for what's next for Chuck and Blair on Gossip Girl, Wilson on House and Owen and Cristina on Grey's Anatomy, we've got a little scoop on that, too.

Trent in Salem, Ore.: How I Met Your Mother is on fire this season! Do you know anything more about the 100th episode yet?

• Lost: According to ABC, Lost season six will premiere Feb. 2 at 9 p.m., which means Tuesday is now Lost day. ABC also confirms that Nestor Carbonell's Richard Alpert, Ken Leung's Miles, Jeff Fahey's Frank Lapidus and Zuleikha Robinson's Ilana have all been upped to series regular status (we hear that Ilana has close personal ties to the Island); Emilie de Ravin is back full-time as Claire; and that Henry Ian Cusick's Desmond is not a season-six regular, although he'll no doubt appear as a heavily featured recurring character. In other Lost news, a little birdie tells us exclusively that the Lost season five DVD/Blu-ray packaging has hieroglyphics hidden within the cover art that offer additional clues to the nature of season six. (The hieroglyphics are not included in the promo artwork released so far.) The DVDs are due out Dec. 8, so make sure your local Egyptologist is on call that day!

Here's the bad news: Kim Raver's Teddy Altman is definitely a complication for Grey's Anatomy's most beloved twosome of the moment: Kevin McKidd's Owen Hunt and Sandra Oh's Cristina Yang. As Kevin McKidd correctly pointed out when we spoke earlier this week, "For a TV show to work, the characters can't be happy all the time." (Bah humbug!)

Now, here's the good news: McKidd and costar Oh are both total Crowen shippers who want to see their characters together as much or more than we do. McKidd testifies, "I want the best for him. I want him to be happy. I want him to be in love. I want him to be all these things, and so does Sandra [for her character]." And you've got to believe that all that love for love will win out in the end, right?

Kevin McKidd explained to us why he and Sandra are so in sync, both on- and offscreen, and what this triangle means for the show. Plus, McKidd revealed a worrisome suspicion that Owen's old nemesis might be back sooner rather than later...

Cristina hates her. With a passion. And so far, it seems that some of you fans do too.

Ever since Kim Raver (whom Cristina named "Desert Storm Barbie") was introduced on Thursday's episode of Grey's Anatomy, our inbox has overflowed with messages from fans wanting to know what's next for their favorite couple, Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh) and Owen (Kevin McKidd), now that Kim's character, Dr. Teddy Altman, is in the mix.

Well, we just talked to Kevin himself, and he admits that he, too, was concerned at first about the triangle, but he warmed up to it, and tells you fans why you might want to keep an open mind.

Oh, and if you want to know what's next for Glee (Christmas song!), Vampire Diaries (dish from Kevin Williamson himself) or Desperate Housewives (who won't die?), we have that too.

It's all in our latest roundup of exclusive TV scoop...

Alex in Rhode Island: Please don't tell me Kim Raver is sticking around long on Grey's Anatomy!
