Songstress and actress Ashlee Simpson-Wentz and Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz are set to guest star as Bonnie and Clyde types on an upcoming CSI: NY episode.

Simpson-Wentz plays Lila Wickfield, “a 21-year-old hotel cleaning lady who is working her way through community college, and Wentz will play her boyfriend, Chester Bryon.”

The photo above is from a warehouse scene the pair shot for the upcoming episode. . Ashlee’s acting credits include 7th Heaven and Malcolm in the Middle.

To my knowledge this will be Pete’s first major acting gig. CSI is really working the Gen Y Taylor Swift is set to make a guest appearance on a the original series.   CSI:NY will be Ashlee’s first major role since the birth of the couple’s daughter Bronx Mowgli Wentz in November.

The episode airs Wednesday, March 18 at 10 p.m (EST).

DESCRIPTION:
(from CBS’s press release, August 2008) Inspired by the top-rated series “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” CSI: MIAMI is a drama that follows a South Florida team of forensic investigators who use both cutting-edge scientific methods and old-fashioned police work to solve crimes. Horatio Caine, a former homicide detective, heads a group of investigators who work crimes amid the steamy tropical surroundings and cultural crossroads of Miami. His team includes Calleigh Duquesne, a bilingual Southern beauty with a specialty in ballistics; Eric Delko, an underwater recovery expert who knows all the twists and turns of the Florida waterways, and Ryan Wolfe, a former patrol officer who specializes in blood and trace evidence. Rounding out the team is Natalia Boa Vista, the enigmatic DNA specialist. Helping Horatio with cases is Det. Frank Tripp, a tough yet thorough police officer. Together, these investigators collect and analyze the evidence to solve the crimes and to avenge those who cannot speak for themselves - the victims.

Grissom’s Departure Marks Big Ratings For CBS

by KD Griffin

Variety reports that One to Go earned C’SI’s largest ratings since September 2007. President Bush’s own final speech created 15-minute delay for East Coast viewers, the episode had 24.3 million viewers and “6.6 rating /14 share in the adults 18-49 demo.”

CBS won the night in it’s entirety. Grey’s had the lowest number of viewers int he series history with 13 million viewers(woe that’s nearly half of CSI’s viewership).

We can expect William Petersen and probably Jorja Fox to return to the show from time to time. He’s still exec production so expect him to have some influence in the show as it moves on without him. I think it’s important to the viewers that William Petersen approves of Laurence Fishburne as a replacement and that Grissom approves of Dr. Langston as a replacement.  I look forward to seeing how the show evolves with Dr. Langston as part of the team.  How do you feel about the new cast member?

Video:William Petersen Talks Grissom Part 2

CBS released another video of William Petersen talking about Grissom’s exit.   We’ve seen some of the quotes in an earlier video. Still it’s good stuff.

Taylor Swift Set for CSI Guest Appearance

by KD Griffin

Singer and budding actress Taylor Swift will appear in a CSI episode later this season. She’ll play a “a troubled teenager whose parents own a motel.”  The episode begins in the present and flashes back to the previous year season by season.

Executive producer Carol Mendelsohn told US Weekly that Taylor is a huge fan of the show. “Before Christmas, we reached out to Taylor Swift because one of the CBS executives had told me, ‘Taylor loves your show.’ So Taylor came in to meet with me right before the holidays and we talked about the character.”

Mendelsohn warned the country singer that the part wasn’t all sunshine and light, “I said, ‘it’s a very edgy part, this may not be what you want. But she said, ‘I love it, and I want to do it.’”

According to Menhelsohn, the change will be dramatic, “This young girl will change physically, will change her hair,” Mendelsohn said. “I mean, clearly, your outward manifestation reflects the turmoil that’s inside of you, and so it’s really a very challenging role.”

The episode is set to air in late February or early March.

Melina Kanakaredes At Golden Globe Style Lounge

by KD Griffin

Melina Kanakaredes hung out the the Golden Globe Style Lounge. Celebs usually pick up some sweet swag at these pre-awards-show lounges and parties. Looks like Melina is no exception. She is signing a bottle of Little Black Dress wine which usually means a bottle will be auctioned off for charity. Stay tuned.  I’ll alert if it goes up for auction.
