Criminal Minds fans working with other fandoms to help those still suffering from the WGA strike. While this video is a teaser for the Law & Order: Criminal Intent fans, have no fears because Criminal Minds items will also be up for auction. Remember, "We're All In This Together......Still".

CRIMINAL MINDS: SO HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT A POSSIBLE SPIN-OFF?

Criminal Minds: Every other google alert for Criminal Minds today deals with the possible Criminal Minds spinoff? So, anyone have any thoughts about the possibility of a second CM?

CRIMINAL MINDS: CHAT INFO AND UPDATES

Criminal Minds: The Criminal Minds Yahoo group and the Criminal Minds Fanatic message board will host a CM chat on Sunday, July 6th at 2pm est. Password is still finale.

The news of a second CM related spin-off is all over the internet. I did email Ed Bernero and he said that when/if he has an announcement to make then he will let us know. I have received literally thousands of emails asking me for info. Sorry but they won't be answered. All news will come from Ed.

Thomas Gibson's birthday is today. Please sign his birthday card. A generic chocolate birthday card has been sent to the studio for all the July birthdays. On Monday Kirsten will receive a colorful basket of roses from the Criminal Minds moderators. Beautiful flowers have also been ordered for A.J. (with a teddy bear for the baby) and for Deb Fisher which will be delivered on their birthdays. I realized that we didn't send Paget flowers on her birthday, so I ordered her a very nice arrangement which an apology. Thank you to the moderators.

The planning committee for the CM convention is scheduled to go to LA in Feb. The convention looks like it will be in June of 2009. I am amazed that you all started this wonderful idea and the amount of people that want to particpate. WOW!

Donations for Kim Harrison's Aids Marathon and the Red Cross have slowed so please open your hearts and wallets and donate if you haven't already and donate again if you already have. The script for "Lucky" is still on auction (a few posts down the blog) and winning that auction would be a great way of owning a CM collectible while donating to worthy charities.

The Criminal Minds Multi-Fandom Assistance Fund blog goes live on Monday with donations from some of the top shows on tv today, as well as from writers, musicians, etc. Check it out on Monday. I am told that new items will be added every week. The goal, I believe, is $25,000 to be donated to the Actors Fund and WGA to assist those still recovering from the WGA strike. Multi-fandoms working together.....who knew it was possible. :) Link is on the blog to the site.

CRIMINAL MINDS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY THOMAS GIBSON!

Criminal Minds: Please join us in wishing Thomas Gibson, Aaron Hotchner on Criminal Minds, a very Happy Birthday!! :)

CRIMINAL MINDS: STRONG OVERNIGHT RATINGS

Criminal Minds scored well in the overnight Nielsen ratings. Criminal Minds starring Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Paget Brewster, Shemar Moore, A.J. Cook, Matthew Gray Gubler and Kirsten Vangsness.

CBS' "Criminal Minds" won the 9 p.m. hour in households with a 6.0/10. "So You Think You Can Dance" (5.6/10) however, still had a slight edge in viewers. A new "Baby Borrowers," 4.2/7, kept NBC in third. A "Supernanny" repeat on ABC scored a 2.6/4, good enough to beat a "Girlicious" rerun on The CW.

CRIMINAL MINDS: SHEMAR MOORE IN TV GUIDE

Criminal Minds: Shemar Moore, Derek Morgan on Criminal Minds, is included in this week's TV Guide in their "Hot Bods" story.

SHEMAR MOORE: 'My friends call me `the beast' in the gym. I like being pushed to my limit.'' The 38-year-old Criminal Minds star has to keep up his membership -- due to a tendency to gain weight in all the wrong places. ``My butt will get bigger. My thighs will get thicker. My face will get chubbier.''

CRIMINAL MINDS: JEFF FAHEY VISITS WITH LUKE PERRY

Criminal Minds: Jeff Fahey will also be guest starring with Luke Perry in Criminal Minds episode "Minimal Loss" written by Andrew Wilder and starring Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Paget Brewster, Shemar Moore, A.J. Cook, Matthew Gray Gubler and Kirsten Vangsness. Two great guest stars in one episode. Sounds like a slam dunk winning episode to me!

CRIMINAL MINDS: ARE WE GETTING A SPIN-OFF?

Criminal Minds: Well this sure is news:

"Executive producer Ed Bernero confirms to me exclusively that "substantive" discussions are currently taking place between CBS and producer ABC Studios to expand the Minds franchise with an offshoot. "It's safe to say there will be something soon," he reveals. "We had talked about it from the beginning, but something always got in the way of it happening… like Mandy [Patinkin] leaving and the strike. But it's definitely gaining momentum now."

A consensus on what an alternate Minds would look like has not yet been reached, but Bernero says they're "looking at all of the things the FBI does and how we can work that into the Criminal Minds world." The idea would likely be introduced during a special episode of Minds to air later this coming season.

The big question, of course, is whether one of the show's current cast will be poached to headline the new series. "I don't think so," Bernero says. "We're very happy with the team we have. On the other hand, it's possible characters could be on both shows… All options are open."

Criminal Minds Joining Other Fandoms To Make A Difference

Criminal Minds: Coming Together To Make A Difference

On Monday, July 7th at 2pm est, the Criminal Minds Fanatic's Assistance Fund Blog will go live in an attempt to raise money for the Actors Fund and the Writers Guild of America. Whether SAG strikes or is locked out or a deal is made is of course a concern, but regardless of whether there is additional labor turmoil, there remains a real need to help those that were adversely affected during the recent Writers Strike. Fans, actors, showrunners, writers, musicians, crew, etc. can work together to help make people financially whole again. Every week dozens of new donated items will be put up for auction. Open your hearts and your wallets for those that need it most and bid high. Open your closets and donate those items that some fan would love to own and you really don't need.

We're All In This Together......Still!

We have cool stuff pledged so far from shows such as Lost, Desperate Housewives, The West Wing, Criminal Minds, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Studio 60, The Daily Show & The Colbert Report. We're receiving donation pledges everyday from new donors.

My name is____________ and I want the AMPTP to give SAG a fair contract.
