Weiss Season 4 Spoilers:

[aricadavidson]

Vaughn Will Be Hot and Sweaty: Within the first 10 minutes of the premiere, we'll be seeing Michael Vartan's rippling muscles, as Vaughn beats the living crapola out of a punching bag. Sadly, though, he will not be shirtless--a situation buddy Greg Grunberg (Weiss) says was Michael's own doing.

"During that scene they literally were like, 'Take off your shirt!' " Greg says. "And he said to them, 'No!' And I said, 'Dude, come on. If I looked like you, I'd take my shirt off in every scene. I'd be walking around that set naked! My god, I'd be holding all those important faxes between the cheeks of my ass.' "

So, why wouldn't M.V. take it off? "He's modest," Greg explains. "The problem is that he's the greatest guy in the world, trapped in that body, with that face. He's funny and sweet and just the greatest. It's not fair. I wish he were an a--hole. Give me an excuse to hate you, man!"


"Weiss Finally Gets Some!" Greg Grunberg (Weiss)--still my favorite person in Hollywood and still working on a bounty-hunter series called The Catch with JJ--tells me he couldn't be more excited about his role in the new season. "The stuff I'm doing this year is awesome. I have a lot more of the action stuff and character stuff, with accents and going on missions with Jen. And I have love a love interest...Mía Maestro of The Motorcycle Diaries, 'How are you?' All of a sudden I've gone from the joker Joe Schmo on the show to basically, well, let's be honest, the stud."

Mr. Stud explains the series will have more stand-alone episodes this season, while easing up on the Rambaldi mystery. "It's gonna go back to the same show we had season one, and the mandate from the network has been these should be self-contained episodes where you meet a bad guy, and you solve a crime at the end. So, that's exciting. A lot less Rambaldi, a lot more Weissi!"

What he's most looking forward to? "Weiss finally gets some! Weiss is doing the lambada, the forbidden dance, and Mía just kicks ass."


Thankfully, though, despite that failed mission, I have plenty more Alias scoop to share in this week's chat, Monday at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.

I'll also tell you who's going to burn down Vaughn's house and what Greg said about a possible return--you heard me right!--to Lost. Plus, oh yeah, all those other shows, too. (I promise!)

Happy tubing--and happy New Year!
