August 29 EMMY AWARDS ~ A Night To Forget

The 2010 Emmy Awards were just announced, and, of course, they've never heard of CRIMINAL MINDS.

It wasn't unexpected. Except for two awards for Stunt Coordination, CRIMINAL MINDS has been ignored since the series premiered five seasons ago. It was naive to think that Thomas Gibson (Aaron Hotchner) could possibly be considered Best Lead Actor in a Drama for his stunning performance as the husband of a murdered spouse in "100." It was ridiculous to think that Joe Mantegna might be deserving of a Best Actor nod for his consistently solid role as the patriarchal, senior profiler, David Rossi.

And why would SHEMAR MOORE, who has so adeptly portrayed Derek Morgan this season, an Agent grown dark and brooding from years of doing a difficult job, ever be considered for recognition? Hey, he's just an old soap opera actor.

So on August 29, the night of the Emmy Awards Show ignore the Emmys, as they have ignored CRIMINAL MINDS. Put a CRIMINAL MINDS DVD in your player instead, and enjoy one of the best programs to never get any respect.

Happy Birthday, Kirsten Vangsness!

Happy Birthday, Kirsten!

LOVING MOORE sends birthday wishes to Kirsten Vangsness, who turns 38 on July 7. Kirsten is one of the stars of CRIMINAL MINDS. She plays computer wizard, Penelope Garcia, on the series. What began as a bit part on MINDS, was quickly expanded when her character became a favorite with the fans. She has a particularly good chemistry with series co-star, SHEMAR MOORE (bottom photo). Fans enjoy their flirtations and playful banter. CRIMINAL MINDS will begin work on Season 6 of the series later this month. In addition to Vangsness and Moore, the series stars Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, Paget Brewster, and A.J. Cook.

July 7 on CRIMINAL MINDS ~ Encore: "A Thousand Words"

When a serial killer covered in tattoos commits suicide, he leaves the BAU clues to the identity of his last victim, who may still be alive, on CRIMINAL MINDS, encore episode, Wednesday, July 7. Stars SHEMAR MOORE, Joe Mantegna, Thomas Gibson, Matthew Gray Gubler, Paget Brewster, and A.J. Cook.

"A THOUSAND WORDS" is a little heavy on the guest stars for fans who want to see their favorite profilers at work. Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) and Green Bay Packers Wide Receiver, Greg Jennings, guest star in this one, with Jennings making his acting debut in a scene with SHEMAR MOORE. The episode, which first aired in May, has the team working backward to save a serial killer's last victim. Edward Allen Bernero, who is the series Executive Producer, and who is one of MIND'S best writers, penned this one.

The New Face of Malcolm Winters?

For eight years, SHEMAR MOORE was the popular daytime character, Malcolm Winters on "The Young and the Restless." Now he is portraying FBI profiler Derek Morgan for a fifth season on "Criminal Minds." Returning to the soap role he made famous is impossible for SHEMAR with his commitment to "Minds," and it would not be a good career move for the rising star. So a casting call went out for a new actor to play Malcolm. Rumor has it that hottie, MARCUS PATRICK, is the front runner for the role. MARCUS has appeared in three soaps, most recently "Days of Our Lives." Could this man replace SHEMAR in our hearts as the new Malcolm? It is hard to imagine that anyone could replace SHEMAR.
