Sources confirm to me exclusively that Rob Lowe is nearing a deal to join the cast of TV’s best new comedy, Parks and Recreation.
I’m told that Lowe, who, as you know, is leaving Brothers & Sisters at season’s end, would appear in multiple episodes of Parks and Rec beginning later this season and extending into next. (NBC wisely went ahead and renewed the comedy for a third season.)
Details about Lowe’s character are being kept under the tightest of wraps. I should know more as soon as his deal becomes official.

TVguide Spoilers
November 18, 2009: TVGuide.com:
“We have an episode in a couple of weeks about Tom getting divorced and him coming to terms with it,” said Aziz Ansari. “It’s pretty emotional stuff for Tom.” Unfortunately, sparks will continue to fly between Ron (Nick Offerman) and Tom’s soon-to-be ex-wife. “It doesn’t seem like Tom will take it too well,” Offerman said. “A little bit of information unfolds before the holidays, but no deals will be sealed.”
Leslie Knope will find herself in a possible love triangle. Will Arnett — Poehler’s real-life hubby — and Justin Theorux will guest-star in that January episode as her suitors.
“You’re going to see more scenes with Andy and April,” said Aubrey Plaza. “There could be a love connection for them.”
In Thursday’s episode, Parks takes a shot at a mystery episode. “They go on a hunting trip and they’re hunting quails at a secret park ranger station that Ron has, for years, used as his private hunting lodge,” executive producer Greg Daniels said. “Leslie insists on going when she finds out about it, bringing a lot of non-hunters. There are a lot of guns.” What’s the mystery? One of the parks department members takes a shot to the back of the head and the gang must figure out whose gun it came from.

Wills Coming!!!
Confirmed: Will Arnett is coming to Parks and Recreation!
November 17, 2009: Watch with Kristin:
NBC has just confirmed to us that Amy Poehler’s husband, the also hilarious Will Arnett, is coming to Parks and Recreation.
He’ll come on board for one episode that will air in January. (Most likely Jan. 14, according to NBC, but no firm date has been set.)
According to NBC, Will is playing an “MRI tech,” which means that either someone we know and love in Pawnee is headed for the hospital (our money’s on the always clutsy Andy, a k a Chris Pratt), or Will will have scenes with Ann (Rashida Jones) who works there.
Thanks for the tip, @Mullally_lovah!
November 17, 2009: The Ausiello Files:
Hey, what’s that smell? Oh, I know — it’s the ink drying on Will Arnett’s Parks and Recreation contract. An NBC spokesperson confirms that Will Arnett will guest star opposite real-life wife Amy Poehler on her creatively-resurgent comedy in early 2010. He’ll play a possible suitor for Poehler’s character, Leslie. Incidentally, Arnett appears in the same episode that marks the arrival of Justin Theroux, who also happens to be playing a love interest for Leslie. You know what I’m smelling now? Comedic fireworks!

Will Tammy1 return?
John in Las Vegas: Please tell me Megan Mullally will be back on Parks and Recreation!
We just chatted with Megan’s real-life hubby Nick Offerman, Ron Swanson to you Parks and Recreation fans, and all signs are pointing to yes! “In my house there’s lots of talk about Megan returning. Both of our mothers are really excited about that idea,” Nick jokes. “I think we’ll try to get her back on if we can.”

Extra Spoilers
-At Saturday night’s Paley Center P-Rex celebration, Amy Poehler teased that hubby Will Arnett might soon be joining her on the small screen (yay!): “I hope, so I think you will,” she spilled with that signature Amy grin we know and love.
-We were also told that Amy’s adorably awkward Leslie Knope would be involved in a salacious sex scandal.
-Sadly, Will is not knocking boots with Amy on P-Rex right now (though we know he’s already on the NBC payroll, ahem, 30 Rock), but show runner Mike Schur (Mose!) did tell us that “some exciting potential guest stars, pretty big stars and comedians” are in the works and that names will emerge in the next few weeks.
-As for Leslie, the poor girl “accidentally gets involved with this big sex scandal, and it spirals out of control,” Aziz Ansari (Tom) told us of the P-Rex craziness. As Schur explained: “There are rumors swirling about another city councilman scandal—who was disgraced by cave sex in the ‘Practice Date’ episode—and Leslie ends up getting photographed with him at a bar late at night by a tabloid newspaper.”
-Of course, Leslie becomes the town leper, even though she only had the city’s best interest at heart. “Leslie has set up an elaborate and beautiful Santa’s Village on the lot; she’s just trying to do this nice thing and this derails it, and it gets to the point where the press is chasing her around.”
-Sadly, Leslie’s headed for a split with Dave the Cop. “A lot of really heavy stuff happens in the next couple weeks. It’s really good!” Amy teased. “We were so lucky to get Louis C.K., but he’s starting his own show.”
-At least a few P-Rexers are getting lucky in love. Aubrey Plaza gushed about an April-Andy (Chris Pratt) romance, and from what you’ll see in Thursdays episode.

Ausiello
Ask Ausiello:
Question: I was so happy to see that you called Parks and Recreation one of the most improved shows of the season. I totally agree! Got any scoop? —Abby
Ausiello: You ain’t seen nothin’ yet, according to showrunner Michael Schur. He says a November installment featuring a guest turn by Megan Mullally is “the best episode we’ve ever done.” Mullally plays Ron’s ex-wife, which is pretty funny since she’s married to his portrayer, Nick Offerman, in real life. But the laughs don’t end there. “She works for the library system, and they’re trying to take over the lot that Leslie is jealously guarding for her future park,” Schur explains. “So Ron has to get back involved with his ex-wife and fireworks ensue.”

Andy a full-time Pawnee employee?
November 2, 2009: Watch with Kristin:
Marisa in Milwaukee: Is Andy a full-time City of Pawnee employee now?
Chris Pratt said that his Halloween security gig was just the beginning. “That’s the first step in the independence of Andy,” he told us. And Chris is looking forward to his new storyline, which means he’s finally out of the dreaded pit once and for all. He told us, “[The pit] is a real pit out in the Valley. It’s hot and dusty, and it stinks a little bit—I’m happy to have that chapter closed.”

Buried Alive
IGN: So are you ever getting out of The Pit? It looks like some things might get shaken up in the next episode ["Kaboom"].
Chris Pratt: The episode coming up this Thursday is sort of The Pit’s swan song. Through a certain series of events, Andy gets buried alive. It becomes his ticket, in his mind, to get Ann back. And to also get out of The Pit. This Thursday is the last time you’re going to see The Pit. They’re turning it into a lot. And with that, apparently, comes a whole new list of dilemmas.

Megan Mullally to Guest Star on P&R
Megan Mullally will guest star on Parks and Recreation, Rashida Jones tells TVGuide.com exclusively.
The Will & Grace star will play the ex-wife of Amy Poehler’s character’s boss.
“She’s married to Nick Offerman, who plays Ron Swanson, but they play exes on the show,” Jones said.
Mullally is currently shooting her episode, which will air on Oct. 29. In last week’s episode, Ron was incapacitated with a hernia. Could his ex-wife cause him similar pain?

Spoiler:The Ausiello Files: August 31
In an episode that begins shooting this week, Fred Armisen will play Poehler’s counterpart from Pawneee’s sister city — but there’s a twist, of course, “Leslie arranges for Armisen and his colleagues to come for a visit, but they’re from a city in Venezuela,” explains exec producer Michael Schur. “They’re very confused because in Venezuela the government is so powerful; their parks department travels with military escorts and motorcades and stuff. They have all the money in the world because of their oil and they don't understand why Pawnee’s parks department is so rinky-dink.”
Schur says Armisen and his fellow Venezuelans “take a real shine” to Nick Offerman’s Ron “because they value his mustache. They call him El Jefe the whole time. They revere him and they present him with all sorts of gifts and stuff.”

What Aubrey Plaza has to say about The Pit!
August 24, 2009: Watch with Kristin
David in Bristol, Conn.: Any scoop on Parks & Recreation? Are they still working on the pit this season, or have they abandoned it for a new project?
Aubrey Plaza confirms that the pit is still a big part of this season: “The pit is still there. The pit is kind of our grounding place. I know that a lot of crazy things are going to happen in the pit, outside of the pit, with the pit and with people surrounding the pit.”
