We’ve got a sneak peak of Ashlee all decked out in her maid’s uniform from tonight’s CSI:NY episode. Looks like it’s the first minute of the episode. Enjoy!

What and absolutely creepy looking episode. Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Pete Wentz should be work well in the their roles. I think the Bonnie and Clyde personas are a good fit. Hopefully we’ll get a chance to see a bit our newlyweds.

Remember the kid that stole our heart in 80’s blockbuster? Looks like he’s all grown up. Henry Thomas is set to appear on CSI as a convicted killer serving a life sentence. The May sweeps episode looks at Catherine’s early days a as a CSI.

The 38-year-old actor plays a convict Catherine  investigated during her first solo case. Thomas’ character questions the findings after nearly 20 years to study up on forensics. I checked out Thomas’ IMBD profile and he’s worked steadily, if not famously, since his role in the groundbreaking film.

If memory serves me correctly we’ve  had at least one episode that showed Catherine as a very young woman.

I wonder if this ep will feature any Grissom references. Maybe Catherine talks to him on the phone.  They could use his voice for flashbacks and present day.

The first video is the promo and the second is sneak peak. I do love when they give us sneak peaks. Where the heck do you think Calleigh and Eric are going?

Taylor Swift makes an appearance on CSI tonight.  That’s a good thing for the young singer because she’s a huge fan.

“I am obsessed with the show. I have seen every episode every season,” Taylor told ET.

She was not prepared for how tough playing a dead body is. “I’ve watched the show for so long, but in the beginning when you see the dead bodies you don’t realize that those are people that are sitting really still and holding their breath and having their eyes in one direction, because they’re so good.”

The episode centers around three muders that occured in one hotel over the course of a year.  Nick Stokes is the lead investigator.  “The story is this girl is a victim of circumstances,” says Taylor while shooting the episode. “She has this lack of self-esteem, which is why she feels she needs to change into a different person to be loved.”
