CRIMINAL MINDS: THE MAN WITH THE PERFECT SMILE.

Criminal Minds: Is there any actor today who has a more beautiful uplifting smile than Shemar? Nope. I'm looking forward to see him grace my tv screen when Criminal Minds starts season three starts on September 26th.

CRIMINAL MINDS: HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!

Criminal Minds: I hope all my Criminal Minds friends have a wonderful holiday weekend. The Criminal Minds Fanatic website and Yahoo group will hold a weekend chat on Sunday at 4pm est. O/T question: Which Criminal Minds actor, past or present, or character do you think would say this quote.
"Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you smile."

CRIMINAL MINDS: NOT A DIVA BONE IN KIRSTEN'S BODY.

Criminal Minds: Meeting Kirsten Vangsness, Garcia on Criminal Minds, is pure thrill. She is caring, giving and doesn't have a diva bone in her whole body. If all the actresses working today were more like her I believe the entire entertainment industry would be a better place. There were some funny things that happened with Kirsten that I haven't mentioned before. Not secrets or the like but rather things that just never made it on to the blog. Fun things about my fun time with a classy lady. Before I spill them I would like to hear what you have to say about Kirsten. :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: PAGET'S NOT THE NEWBIE ANYMORE.

Criminal Minds: Paget Brewster, Emily Prentiss on Criminal Minds, is not the newest kid on the set anymore. When I first met Paget in Feb. she told me that it bothered her that the fans weren't warming to her character because she really likes "Emily". It took me awhile but I do now too. I found Paget to be an angel on the set. One of the nicest people I met. More about Paget later. :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: THINGS ABOUT MY TRIP YOU NEVER HEARD, PART THREE.

Criminal Minds: Before I talk about Matthew Gray Gubler on the set of Criminal Minds and finish dishing about him (very cute stories so no worries) let me ask you what you think spending an hour with Matthew would be like? What is like to watch Matthew work?

****Updated in the comments section!*****

CRIMINAL MINDS: THINGS ABOUT MY TRIP YOU NEVER HEARD, PART ONE

Criminal Minds: While sitting in Craft services on Feb. 28th on the set of Criminal Minds in walked Henry Winkler who was there to have lunch with Ed Bernero, Exec. Producer of Criminal Minds. I was told by my CBS guide that it would be rude to interrupt his lunch with Ed and that I could not meet him. Mr. Winkler sat directly behind me and in fact our metal folding chairs were touching. They were so close I could hear every word of their conversation but I was still instructed to disregard his presence and not post that he was even in the building. Later while emailing with Ed I was told that Mr. Winkler is an old friend of his and that I would have been more than welcome to have met him and to have even joined them at their table. I'm really sorry that I missed the opportunity to meet such a wonderful actor and humanitarian.

CRIMINAL MINDS FANATIC NEWS

Criminal Minds: A really good friend emailed me today and asked if it was me posting on the Criminal Minds Fanatic blog because the new posts did not seem like my style. I have been posting all the new posts. Stacy helps out when I am on vacation or away on business but her point is very valid. For several weeks now the blog has been a sanitized bore. I could bore you with the reasons but they aren't important to anyone but me. So as of right now I am taking my blog back. No more joking with Stacy trying to figure out how many times in a day we will see Disney, CBS NY, CBS CA or the tabloids on the site meter while they diligently monitor the blog. I don't care if they like or don't like what is posted. The blog is going to be fun again because that is how it started out. :)

Cook and Mandy Patinkin. Written by Jim Clemente and Directed by Guy Norman Bee. The Behavioral Analysis Unit has only 48 hours to determine whether or not a terrorist sleeper cell will strike within the U.S. and where. Episode info courtesy of cbs.com

CRIMINAL MINDS: FAREWELL TO MANDYGATE!

Criminal Minds: It has been a heck of a drama filled month for Criminal Minds fans. Even the wonderful Andrew Wilder could not have written an episode that was this emotional and rivoting. Since Mandy walked away from Criminal Minds it has been a roller coaster in the fandom of rumors and wondering. So now we have a new star for the show. Mandy is off doing concerts. All the press releases are done and filming of the show continues. All that is left to do now is avoid reading all the horrible articles being written about how the show is going to tank this season. I almost laugh reading some of these articles. The season has not even started yet and already the critics are bashing it. You simply have to laugh. I am thrilled that the drama is over. I was asked by a reporter today what the shelf life is for the blog and the show. I am not sure about the blog but I think we will be treated to many more seasons of the show. :)

CBS' PRESS RELEASE ANNOUNCING JOE MANTEGNA

EMMY AWARD NOMINEE JOE MANTEGNA JOINS THE CAST OF "CRIMINAL MINDS"

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13 — Joe Mantegna will join the cast of CRIMINAL MINDS starring as FBI Special Agent David Rossi. Mantegna is scheduled to make his first appearance in the fifth episode of the season which is broadcast Wednesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. CRIMINAL MINDS also stars Thomas Gibson, Paget Brewster, Shemar Moore, Matthew Gray Gubler, AJ Cook and Kirsten Vangsness.

"We are all THRILLED to have Joe Mantegna joining our family. He's an incredible actor, a genuinely nice person and, as a fellow Chicagoan, I can tell you he makes fantastic Italian Beef sandwiches and Chicago Style Hot Dogs," said Executive Producer Ed Bernero.

"We've been fans of Joe's since his early days on the stage and think he will be a wonderful addition to our CRIMINAL MINDS cast," added Executive Producers Mark Gordon and Deb Spera.

Special Agent Rossi is an original member of the Behavioral Analysis Unit who took early retirement to go on lecture and book tours, and has volunteered to return to the unit.

Joe Mantegna is currently nominated for an Emmy Award for his role in the summer mini-series, "The Starter Wife." His additional television credits include the series "Joan of Arcadia," "First Monday," the mini-series "The Last Don" (Emmy Award nomination), and "The Last Don II," all on the Network, as well as "The Simpsons," the television movies "The Rat Pack" (Emmy Award nomination) and three installments of "Spenser for Hire." His feature film credits include "Searching for Bobby Fischer," "The Godfather, Part III," "Bugsy" and "The Simpsons Movie." Mantegna won a Tony Award for his performance in "Glengarry Glen Ross."


CRIMINAL MINDS is produced by ABC Television Studios in association with CBS Paramount Network Television.

CRIMINAL MINDS: JOE MANTEGNA JOINED OUR CAST FRIDAY.

Criminal Minds: Ed Bernero announced on this blog Friday that Joe Mantegna has joined the cast of Criminal Minds. What a wonderfully exciting time for our show. Mr. Mantegna's name has now been added to the Criminal Minds Fanatic Message Board. Take a moment and share whatever information you have about this talented new addition by posting it on that thread. :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: NEBULA'S YAHOO CONTEST:

Criminal Minds: Nebula, the moderator of the Criminal Minds Conversation Yahoo group is starting the following contest. The prize is a brand new set of Criminal Minds Season One dvds, region one, and an autographed picture of Kirsten Vangsness.

"Your challenge is this - to write a short summary for a new episode of Criminal Minds to appear in a TV Guide. Around 50 words and no more than 100. The aim is to make my somewhat picky husband want to tune in that week. Imagine that Criminal Minds is on at the same time as a live Football Match (that's Soccer for non-Europeans), so it is going to have sound exciting to get him to change channels. He likes drama and it can be as dark as you like. He is a man, so any romance will have him rushing for the remote. Mr Nebula will be the judge. Closing Date is August 27th. Good Luck"

CRIMINAL MINDS: THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER GETS IT WRONG.

Criminal Minds: Nellie Andreeva who writes for "The Hollywood Reporter" wrote her Criminal Minds story last night and said "on the "Minds" fan blog during" while writing about Mr. Bernero's announcement to us on Friday. I spoke with her this morning and she informed me that CBS Publicity told her to refer to the blog that way instead of posting a proper credit. I know the head of CBS West Coast Publicity and she would never tell them to miscredit a story. So either Ms. Andreeva misunderstood or she has just promoted us to being "the Minds" fan blog. I would be laughing about it but when I asked her to correct the error her husband/or other hung up on me. Wow. :)

*** Follow up to my original post: In reporting about our conversation the woman proved herself to be not only misinformed, again, but also unable to tell time and to report the truth regarding a message I left within minutes of her story being posted. The Hollywood Reporter is a third party news source for Reuters and for CNN which have both apologized to me for her rudeness and her inability to properly credit a source. Tsk..tsk.....it would seem only she can't see how truly aweful her manners and behavior are. Shoddy reporter. Thank goodness there are much better entertainment journalists than her out there!

CRIMINAL MINDS: JOE MANTEGNA CHAT

Criminal Minds: The Criminal Minds Fanatic website and the Criminal Minds Yahoo group will be holding a chat this Wednesday at 10pm est. I think it would be fun if everyone brought a couple of tidbits about Mr. Mantegna into the chat room and we can share all of them and get to know him better. See you there. :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: SEVEN IS OUR LUCKY NUMBER

Criminal Minds: A look at our seven Criminal Minds cast members. :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: JOE MANTEGNA SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT CHOICE TO ME.

Criminal Minds: Joe Mantegna is an exciting addition to the Criminal Minds cast.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001505/

CRIMINAL MINDS: ED BERNERO ANNOUNCES THAT OUR NEW CAST MEMBER IS JOE MANTEGNA

Criminal Minds: Here is the big Criminal Minds announcement that we have all been waiting for from Ed Bernero:

"We are very excited to
tell you all that Joe Mantegna is officially joining
the cast of Criminal Minds. Thanks for hanging with
us, everyone. Ed Bernero"

CRIMINAL MINDS: HERE COMES THE SNARKY PRESS!

Criminal Minds: As expected the online press is now reporting about our wonderful new Criminal Minds casting news. As could be further expected they feel compelled to take a dig or two at the show and the casting process. I know it makes everyone nuts when they do this but all you can do is ignore them. It floors me that you can be reading their article and it is postive but in the end they feel some overwhelming need to take a jab. Don't let them bother you. Small minded people tear down things while open minded people look for the positive in any situation. Don't respond to them. Don't sink to their level. They are not worth our time.

CRIMINAL MINDS: SOME REMINDERS WHILE WE WAIT

Criminal Minds: There is the European Criminal Minds chat this evening and the regular Criminal Minds chat on Sat. The chat room is going to be upgraded again next week with some special new features. There will be a new password once the upgrade is complete. You will need to email me or Stacy for the password once the room is upgraded and you must be a participating member of the message board. The "Walk Down Memory Lane" contest is really going well and I hope those playing are having fun. I hope everyone has a great weekend and once I receive an email from Ed Bernero naming our new star I will post it here. :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: THE BLOG'S ALMOST A YEAR OLD.

Criminal Minds: The Criminal Minds Fanatic blog is almost a year old now. I started this blog one night when I couldn't sleep. I had watched an episode of Criminal Minds that night (it was not the reason I wasn't sleeping) and decided to start a blog about the show. It has been a lot of fun and I think we need to celebrate together. There are so many people that work really hard to help me with the blog. So please think of some ideas and post them on the Message Board.

CRIMINAL MINDS: NEW STATEMENT FROM ED BERNERO

Criminal Minds: The newest exclusive statement from Ed Bernero to the Criminal Minds fans:

You can tell the amazing CM fans:

There have been some rumors about Harvey Keitel
joining the show but ultimately, I don't think it's
going to work out (and if I thought it was I would
have already told you all). However, we should have
some news before the week is out about an exciting
addition to the team. When a deal is closed, you will
all be the second people I tell (after the cast and
crew of course). Love you all and again, thanks for
all the support and patience as we work through this.

Ed

CRIMINAL MINDS: "EMPTY PLANET" QUOTE

Criminal Minds: Here is the quote from Criminal Minds "Empty Planet":

"Coincidences are a true paradox… on the one hand they seem to be the source of our greatest irrationalities–seeing causal connections when science tells us they aren’t there. On the other hand, some of our greatest feats of scientific discovery depend on coincidences."
Josh Tenenbaum

CRIMINAL MINDS WEEKEND CHAT INFO:

Criminal Minds: The Criminal Minds Fanatic website and Yahoo groups will be holding a chat on Saturday at 5pm est. :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT HARVEY KEITEL?

Criminal Minds: How does everyone feel about Harvey Keitel joining Criminal Minds? I have no information but the rumors are spreading. Keep in mind they may just be rumors!

***** SINCE I RECEIVED MR. BERNERO'S LATEST FAN UPDATE, WHICH IS NOW POSTED ON THE BLOG, I AM CLOSING THIS THREAD.

CRIMINAL MINDS: HOW DO WE......

Criminal Minds: In a previous thread some people expressed a desire to have more scenes with Garcia in our Criminal Minds episodes to which other posters said that since she is the tech person and not a profiler that it could not happen. Never say never. How could Garcia reasonably get more screen time without totally changing her character?

CRIMINAL MINDS: GIDEON LEAVES....HOW?

Criminal Minds: The Criminal Minds question yesterday was who should replace Mandy. The question today is: How should Gideon be written off the show?
