CRIMINAL MINDS ~ Season 6 DVD Cover

Although Season Six of CRIMINAL MINDS hasn't been released yet, we obtained a photo of the cover. Nice to see that ALL of the stars are pictured, including Rachel Nichols, A.J. Cook, and Paget Brewster, despite their on again/off again status with the program. Interesting that SHEMAR MOORE, Joe Mantegna and Thomas Gibson seem to be featured most prominently on the new cover. Does that mean they are considered more important than Matthew Gray Gubler and the girls to the powers that be?

Just wondering....?

Release date is September 6.

CRIMINAL MINDS ~ Shemar Moore at Daytime Emmys

When Susan Lucci finally won her first Daytime Emmy for her work on "All My Children," it was SHEMAR MOORE who presented her with the award.

After eight years on Y&R, he has moved into prime time with his role as SSA Derek Morgan on "Criminal Minds."

Earlier this year, the sad news that "All My Children" is being cancelled was announced. After forty-one years on television, ABC will air the last episode on September 23, 2011.

At the 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards Show on Sunday, June 19, Lucci was reunited with SHEMAR when they presented the awards for Outstanding Lead Actor and Outstanding Lead Actress.

In an interview after the program, SHEMAR had this to say when asked about his soap opera roots. ~

"I will always honor the source. Bill Bell, who's no longer with us, took a chance on me and he changed my life."

CRIMINAL MINDS ~ Jane Lynch to Host Emmys

Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester on "Glee"

Jane Lynch, who so adeptly portrayed Spencer Reid's schizophrenic mother in five episodes of CRMINAL MINDS, will be hosting the 2011 Prime Time Emmys.

Sadly, we are not likely to see her again on MINDS. She is now playing meanie cheer leading coach, Sue Sylvester, on the hit series, "Glee." The series has just been renewed for a third season. Although we wish her well on her series, we can't help but miss the quirky Diana Reid on CRIMINAL MINDS.

Ms. Lynch won an Emmy last year a Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for "Glee."

The Prime Time Emmys will air on September 18 on FOX.
