Criminal Minds ~ Paget Brewster's New Co-Star?

Paget as Emily Prentiss with co-star, SHEMAR MOORE (Derek Morgan)

New TV husband, Jon Dore?

We have loved Paget Brewster for the past few seasons on "Criminal Minds," as SSA Emily Prentiss. She has been a heroic female role model with a kind heart on the series, and she's had amazing chemistry with the rest of the actors.

When Morgan entered a crime scene, it was often Prentiss who was behind him. And, while the Morgan/Garcia shippers were delighting in their banter, it might have been overlooked how great the scenes with Prentiss and Morgan were.

As good as Paget was with all of the actors on the series, she and SHEMAR MOORE were exceptional. Here are two examples of great Morgan/Prentiss moments:

Now our Emily/Paget will be teamed with a new man. Canadian comedian, Jon Dore will play her TV husband in a pilot being developed for NBC. "My Life As An Experiment" will star Dore as a journalist who submits to a range of lifestyle experiments, from crashing the Oscars to radical honesty. Brewster will play his no-nonsense wife.

We at Loving Moore wish Paget well in her new endeavor, but we will morn for our Emily, and the wonderful Morgan/Prentiss moments.

Kirsten Vangsness of CRIMINAL MINDS Interview

In a brand new interview, CRIMINAL MINDS star, Kirsten Vangsness, talks about her television character, her clothes, acting and her upcoming role on the new CRIMINAL MINDS spin-off series. Here is part of the interview, when asked about the her relationship with her cast mates, and her relationship with Derek Morgan.

Q: Do you and your fellow cast members hang out much off the set?

A: Yes, we do. I go to Paget's house for wine and cheese a lot. The whole gang always goes to any plays that I do. AJ went one time when she was 8 months pregnant! Shemar always comes at least twice and sits in the front. It's very sweet. We really adore each other in real life. We all go to Joe's (Rossi's) house during the holidays. I just went to Disneyland with Thomas (Hotch) and his family...

Q: On the show, Garcia loves all her team mates, but seems to have a soft spot for Morgan (SHEMAR MOORE) ~ How do you define the special bond they have?

A: I think they are soulmates!

14 Days And Counting Until The Season Premier Of CRIMINAL MINDS

Who's the man in Garcia's life?

The Derek Morgan/Penelope Garcia shippers will be sad to know that Nicholas Brendon, who plays Garcia's boyfriend, Kevin Lynch, will be returning to his recurring role on CRIMINAL MINDS in Season 6. His first appearance is scheduled for the third episode, airing on October 6.

The romantics souls in the MINDS audience have long wanted to see Derek (SHEMAR MOORE) and Penelope (Kirsten Vangsness) succumb to the obvious chemistry between them and become involved romantically. Although there is a strong bond of friendship and love between them, it appears that is all it will be. The shippers will have to settle for reading the many CRIMINAL MINDS fanfics that put the two characters together.

At LOVING MOORE, we are secretly happy that Nick Brendon is back. We enjoyed him for years in "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," and we like his geeky character on CRIMINAL MINDS. We can't help but notice, however, how damn happy she looks with Derek's arm around her in the top photo.

CRIMINAL MINDS Season 6 Premier is
September 22.

19 Days And Counting To The Season Premier Of CRIMINAL MINDS

Morgan and Tamara Barnes, a romance?

With 19 days until the Season Premier of CRIMINAL MINDS, rabid SHEMAR MOORE/Derek Morgan fans may find the waiting easier if they spend time watching the Season 5 DVDs, which go on sale on September 7.

There were some great episodes in the past season. We saw Hotch's (Thomas Gibson) showdown with The Reaper, and the death of one of our own. There were close moments between Derek Morgan (SHEMAR MOORE) and Penelope Garcia (Kirsten Vangsness) to sate the appetites of the Morgan/Garcia shippers. There was a hinted romance for Morgan with Tamara Barnes (Salli Richardson-Whitfield), and we saw our hero, Derek Morgan, get his own office at the BAU and become acting Unit Chief. Also, there were sensitive performances by some great guest stars, including Gavin Rossdale, Eric Close, and Sean Patrick Flanery.

And, there was the abysmal pilot episode for "Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior," which we at LOVING MOORE hated, but we plan to fast forward through that one.

It did star Forest Whitaker, who is a fine actor, but CRIMINAL MINDS purists aren't on board for any spin-offs, and the episode was hurried, badly written, and lacking in chemistry among the cast members. Just sayin'......

The DVDs will be on sale on Tuesday, and include some nifty extras which have already been posted on YouTube.

Can Kirsten Vangsness Spark Interest in CRIMINAL MINDS Spin-off Series?

Popular CRIMINAL MINDS computer tech, Penelope Garcia, aka Kirsten Vangsness, has been approached to reprise her role on the up coming MINDS spin-off series, "CRIMINAL MINDS: Suspect Behavior," coming to CBS in January, 2011.

The series, which will star Forest Whitaker, and has had a chilly response from fans so far. Most MINDS fans disliked the pilot episode, "The Fight," which aired in April, citing a poor script, lack of chemistry among the characters, and a dislike for the idea of a MINDS spin-off in general.

Kirsten, a gifted comedic actress, is a fan favorite on the original program, beloved for her zany personality and flirtatious banter with the male cast members, especially Derek Morgan, star SHEMAR MOORE'S character. She is pictured with SHEMAR in the bottom photo.

Could the addition of Vangsness to the cast boost interest in the new series? Hum?

Update On Criminal Minds Geek ~ Nicholas Brendon

After an alcohol related run-in with the law back in March, former "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star and occasional computer geek on "Criminal Minds," actor Nicholas Brendon checked into rehab. As fans of Brendon, we have been hoping the actor would get his life and career back on track. He pleaded no contest to four misdemeanor charges on June 17, and was sentenced to a one year suspended jail sentence, and thirty-six months of probation. He was also ordered to attend anger management classes.

Nick has been making personal appearances this summer and was spotted looking tan and fit at a recent Meet and Greet Event with his fans. (top photo) We are looking forward to seeing him on "Criminal Minds" in Season 6 in his recurrent role as Penelope Garcia's boyfriend, Kevin Lynch. (bottom photo~with Kirsten Vangsness).

Our favorite profiler from CRIMINAL MINDS turns 37 on June 6. Although, his alter ego, SHEMAR MOORE was 40 on April 20, they don't share a birthday. In the episode, "Profiler, Profiled," Morgan's birthday was shown on Penelope Garcia's computer screen as June 6, 1973.

Hope you have a very special day. Love you, Derek!
