Jessalyn Gilsig by Michael Becker/FX, Gary Sinise by Cliff Lipson/CBS
Turns out, it was Gary Sinise's arms, not a thick slab of concrete, that caught Jessalyn Gilsig when she nosedived off her roof on Nip/Tuck last month.Sources confirm to me exclusively that Gilsig has been tapped to play a new love interest for Sinise on CSI: NY. Her character, which I first teased in last week's Ask Ausiello, is described as a sexy, professional, mid-thirties female who works in the mayor's office. Gilsig's slated to appear in at least three episodes with an option to return next season. Guess they're waiting to see how viewers take to Big Mac's new lovah. And to that I say, why wait till then? Let the pre-judging begin in the comments section below!

Gary Sinise, CSI: NY
CSI mastermind Anthony Zuiker wants to take over the world. Not the TV world — with three ratings-hot procedurals, he pretty much already has. We're talking about the virtual online world known as Second Life. The computer-generated alternate universe, where millions of players have signed up to chat, shop and even simulate marriage and sex, is at the heart of tonight's CSI: NY (10 pm/ET, CBS) mystery.
Lab geek and Second Life devotee Adam Ross (A.J. Buckley) realizes that an oddly attired corpse is a dead ringer for a virtual character — aka an avatar — named Venus. When he discovers that despite the death of her look-alike, the avatar still exists on the site, the question becomes: Is the real-life person who's controlling

Gary Sinise by Ron P. Jaffe/CBS
CSI: NY frontman Gary Sinise has inked a sweet deal with CBS Paramount that will keep him on duty until 2011, Variety reports.Sinise had already been signed through '10, but in extending that pact he came away with a salary bump to approximately $5 million a year, putting his per-episode fee in the low-$200,000s. That kind of coin could get Lieutenant Dan one helluva prosthetic.

Gary Sinise
Think of it as "CSI: USO," if you will. When he's not solving crimes as Det. Mac Taylor on CSI: NY, Gary Sinise can often be found touring with the USO, entertaining U.S. service members around the globe with his Lt. Dan Band, the rock group named after his salty Vietnam-veteran character in Forrest Gump. On Sunday, Sinise lands in Washington, D.C., to cohost the National Memorial Day Concert (airing at 8 pm/ET, on PBS), featuring performances by Josh Turner, CeCe Winans, Natalie Cole and the National Symphony Orchestra. TVGuide.com spoke with Sinise about his impassioned work with the troops.

Joey Lawrence, CSI: NY
You've seen him rock his mop on Blossom and rule the parquet on Dancing with the Stars, but you've never seen Joey Lawrence the way he is as a guest star on the April 25 episode of CSI: NY (Wednesdays at 10 pm, on CBS). As Clay Dobson, a chrome-domed killer once nabbed by Gary Sinise's Detective Mac Taylor and now set free, he delivers a chilling turn that will not only make you say, "Whoa," but also set Mac up for a dramatic fall.

Melina Kanakaredes and Gary Sinise, CSI: NY
Something remarkable happened while shooting this season's opening episode of CBS' CSI: NY (Wednesdays at 10 pm/ET). Instead of the usual nose-holding over the rotting corpse du jour, the actors huddling around the playback monitors were doing puppy-dog head tilts and whispering, "Awww."
"It was so sweet," says Melina Kanakaredes, who plays the normally tough-talking detective Stella Bonasera. "I mean, Mac and Peyton are adorable together."
Sweet? Adorable? Is this CSI: NY or 7th Heaven? After two seasons of by-the-book forensic gumshoeing, the crime drama's focus has suddenly shifted to topics that are decidedly more… cuddly. And it's not just the actors who are cooing. New, more personal story lines, including the burgeoning affair between hard-bitten Manhattan investigator Mac Tayl

Knots Landing Reunion: Together AgainI'll say it right away: Knots Landing is my all-time favorite show. So you know I was totally looking forward to this two-hour reunion of the cast of the third-longest-running hourlong drama, which ran from '79 to '93. For the most part, I was not disappointed.
What I loved: - The quick recap of all 14 seasons using several of the actors narrating was hilarious and well written. - Speaking of hilarious — shut up that Joan Van Ark and Ted Shackelford did a Wonder Woman episode right before Knots began. Joan calling Ted's costume a big "silver co

Gary Sinise and David Caruso
Anyone who wants a free — albeit rather blood-soaked — trip from the Sunshine State to gritty New York City need only tune in to CBS' massive CSI: Miami-CSI: NY crossover, beginning tonight at 10 pm and reaching a shocking climax on Wednesday at 10 pm/ET. In the sprawling saga, a mass murderer in transport to Florida becomes a man on the loose, offing a lot of people who get in his way and ultimately leading Miami's Det. Horatio Caine (David Caruso) to the Big Apple, where he and NY counterpart Mac Taylor (Gary Sinise) pull out all the stops to ferret out the fugitive. The case is so complex and the killer (played by 24 good-guy
