Thomas Gibson, Criminal Minds
Criminal Minds marks its 100th episode by circling back to the beginning and addressing issues raised then, as well as bracing for a future with a "new reality" — and "new family."

"There's a question raised in the pilot episode of whether you can spend your time hunting monsters and not become a monster," executive producer Ed Bernero tells TVGuide.com. "We wanted to revisit that question 100 episodes later and see if the answer changed. Hotch [Thomas Gibson] does something that makes you wonder what's happened to everybody [since the start]."
Bernero promises two deaths by the end of Wednesday's episode....

Shemar Moore and his mother courtesy National MS Society
As Criminal Minds' Derek Morgan, Shemar Moore has never backed down from a fight. Such is also the case in real life, as the actor helps to raise awareness and funding for MS by participating in this coming weekend's Bike MS: Southern California Ride 2008. Moore was led to put his pedals where his mouth by his mother, who 10 years ago was diagnosed with MS. "She was having a tough time, and I felt like my hands were tied because I wasn’t aware enough or couldn't trust what the doctors were telling us," he shares. Three years ago, some Criminal Minds crew members who were avid cyclists clued Moore into Bike MS. Besides raising money and awareness, Moore's participation put him in touch with a community of people offering answers and solid information.Having since secured proper treatment – and one hip replacement surgery later – Moore's mother is more ambulatory than he once dared to hope. "I was an only child raised by a single mom and I thought she was indestructible...

This week, there's a real buzz on the set and it has nothing to do with the upcoming episode or last week's ratings. This weekend members of our cast and crew are getting their Lance Armstrong on. Saturday is the 2007 Start to Finish MS Bike Tour. Twenty-three members of the Criminal Minds staff are getting up early and biking up the California coast to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. They've been looking forward to this for a long time.Last year 12 of our crew members pedaled, and this year the number has doubled. The 12 riders from last year did not take very much time off before getting back to training and are taking it very seriously. The newcomers all have a varied range of experience and ability but have been riding every weekend. Every Monday tales of training mishaps and misadventures make their way to set.However, the most important part of this ride has nothing to do with the performance of the cyclists. It's all to benefit NMSS. So in addition to those r...

Whenever I bring guests to set, there is always one thing that amazes them more than anything else: the food. Scratch that. Two things. First, they comment on how the ladies of the show are even more striking in person... then they comment on the food. There's lots of food on set. Every day, there are two meals prepared by catering. For breakfast, our caterer Hannah makes made-to-order plates from the catering truck as well as an omelet bar, some sort of hot entrée, and an assortment of rolls, cereals, etc;. Even while the crew eats breakfast, they are already working toward the lunch that will be served seven hours later. Lunch is cafeteria-style with different meat options, a fish, sides, pastas and salad bars. In addition, two "snacks" are served. There is one between breakfast and lunch, and one five hours after lunch (the crew works very long days on set). The crew works 14 hour days — and sometimes much more. It's necessary to keep them fueled. I however work at a d...

Shemar Moore by Nigel Parry/CBS
Criminal Minds star Shemar Moore has been sentenced to 36 months' probation and 80 hours of community service as part of a plea deal stemming from his June 1 arrest for speeding while under the influence of alcohol. Though the DUI charges were dropped after Moore pleaded no contest to the speeding rap, he has agreed to DUI-related conditions, says the AP, including not driving with alcohol in his system (what a concept!) and possibly wearing an alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet. Because we've all seen how well those work.

Geena Davis by Steve Granitz/WireImage.com
The search for Mandy Patinkin's replacement on Criminal Minds may be over.At CBS' press-tour soiree this evening, Minds man Shemar Moore essentially confirmed what I've been hearing all day: Geena Davis has emerged as the front-runner to succeed Patinkin. Moore, who was in a very chatty mood, also name-dropped Michael Keaton as a possible successor, but sources tell me that Keaton has officially passed. What else did Moore have to say? Loads. • On Patinkin's abrupt exit: "I don't like that he did this the way he did this. I don't. I don't think it's right. He left us hanging a little bit... no warning, no nothing. We all showed up to work on Day 1, and he didn't. And we've been scrambling. But we're going to be all right without him. I just feel like he needs to take responsibility for his actions… [and] just acknowledge us, because it's an ensemble, it's a team.... We just want the courtesy and the respect that we deserve. And we felt like if he had given us that initial...

Set your FauxVo! All My Children diva Eva La Rue (ex-Maria) will host TV Guide Channel's TV Hunks & Babes special this Sunday at 8 pm/ET.
"The No. 1 spots went to Patrick Dempsey from Grey's Anatomy and Evangeline Lilly from Lost," La Rue reveals to TVGuide.com. "And then there's so many daytime soap hunks and babes on this special who have moved on to nighttime. Josh Duhamel, Vanessa Marcil, Shemar Moore, Julian McMahon...."
What about Eva herself? She recently left AMC and landed a regular gig on CSI: Miami as sexpot scientist Natalia Boa Vista. Shouldn't she be listed as one of TV's hottest babes? "I know! Who do you have to sleep with to be on this show, anyhow?" La Rue laughs. "At least I got to host it, so I feel included somewhat, and that's good."
Keep on reading for more Eva La Rue new
