CRIMINAL MINDS ON LOCATION

Criminal Minds: Fans of Hollywood movies and TV shows often complain they are snubbed by stars when seeking autographs at filming locations.

But Frazier Park residents Sierra Kerr, 12 and Rhiannon White, 11, along with a gaggle of fans from as far away as Bakersfield, found a very different attitude when CBS’ Criminal Minds came to town last week.

Sierra reports: “We were standing across the street [from Alpine Plaza] on Monday and the show’s director came to us and said ‘Do you want to come over and watch?’”

The two girls say they have launched the Matthew Gubler Girls Frazier Park Fan Club. Gubler plays the pistol-packing Dr. Spencer Reid and is the girls’ favorite star in the show, and apparently Gubler takes fanclubs as seriously as the fans do—he took time to sign the girls’ shirts, jackets, hats, shoes and even arms.

CRIMINAL MINDS: SHEMAR MOORE INTERVIEW

Criminal Minds: Shemar Moore, Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds, interview:

ONE WOULD think that a chiseled hunk who regularly pops up on those lists of "TV's Sexiest Men" would have earned camera-hog status by now. But on this drizzly day in San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood, Shemar Moore emerges from a black SUV on the set of "Criminal Minds" to utter just one scripted line.

Or three words, to be exact.

"How's the mom?" he says to co-star Thomas Gibson, referring to a character at wit's end following the abduction of her teen daughter.

Yes, just three measly words. Nice work if you can get it.

"And the Emmy goes to ... " Moore jokes as he ducks into a garage, where he hoists his T-shirt to allow a technician to remove a hidden mic, and in....
