Tonight on Criminal Minds: Wedding Bells, Explosions and a Big Exit (Sneak Peek & Photos)

Tonight Criminal Minds is getting the bumper season finale treatment with a 2-hour instalment and it promises to be explosive. The team go up against a team of bank robbers who also happen to be partial to killing one person at each crime scene as well as stealing a lot of money. The latest crime occurs in Washington DC increasing the profile and things get even more high risk when one of the team becomes a hostage. The big events of the season 7 finale also include a wedding and the departure of Prentiss (Paget Brewster).

The bank robbers include Battlestar Galactica favourite Tricia Helfer as Izzy Rogers alongside Evan Jones (Brothers & Sisters, October Road) as Chris Stratton. The pair seem to be in charge of the bank robberies but is there someone else controlling and watching what they are doing? »

'Criminal Minds' Paget Brewster and Aj Cook play sexy photo spy game with Kirsten Vangsness

2 May 2012 2:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Their minds may be on criminals, but their bodies still like to play dress-up.

Such was the appeal to the female stars of CBS' long-running Wednesday series "Criminal Minds" -- Paget Brewster, A.J. Cook and Kirsten Vangsness -- when they participated earlier this year in a photo shoot for the June issue of CBS Watch! Magazine.

The Ritz-Carlton Hotel in Tysons Corner, Va. (just outside Washington, D.C.), proved to have all the swanky settings needed for the shoot's storyline casting the women as high-class spies tailing an international bad guy.

Brewster, alias FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit agent Emily Prentiss on "Criminal Minds," says while on location for the occasion that the feel is "very film-noir, three undercover chicks taking down a James Bond-villain archetype. It's been really fun, and the stylists gave us great clothes, so we're excited. I think we're all buying one of our dresses!"

Sebastian Roché Joins 'The Devil Inside' Director William Brent Bell's 'Wer'

29 April 2012 7:33 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »

He took on demons in "Supernatural," battled bloodsuckers in "The Vampire Diaries," and now, Sebastian Roché takes a stab at fighting werewolves in his latest project.

The Playlist has learned exclusively that "The Adventures of Tintin" star has joined the cast of "Wer," the next effort from "The Devil Inside" director William Brent Bell. The story follows defense attorney Kate Moore ("Criminal Minds" star A.J. Cook) who is looking to clear her client, Talan Gwynek (Brian J. O'Connor), who is a suspect in a grisly multiple slaying of a vacationing American family. However, Talan may be much more than meets the eye. As for Roché, he will be playing Detective Pistor, a French ex-military type investigating the case.

"It's going to be more of a faux documentary approach, with some found footage. It's going to be very different than 'Devil Inside,' but still portray itself as a documentary and »

More 'Criminal Minds' Finale Goods: Casting News and Speculation

24 April 2012 4:48 AM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »

We've already touched upon the various storylines set to happen in the Criminal Minds season finale on May 16. To recap: the special two-hour finale will feature the team dealing with a hostage situation at a federal bank, including a guest appearance by Battlestar Galactica's Tricia Helfer. The final episode will also include a wedding for one of the Bau members and, most notably, the departure of Paget Brewster's Emily Prentiss. But the finale will also feature some other guest stars, which leads us to believe some drama may be on the horizon for Jj (A.J. Cook) and another unknown team member.

'Criminal Minds' A.J. Cook: Jj 'fans are still so hurt'

11 April 2012 4:00 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

Zap2it: You've had quite a ride as Jj on "Criminal Minds" over its seven-season history, including the time you were off the show. Do you reflect on that much?

A.J. Cook: I do feel a lot of pride. I've put a lot of effort and time and sweat and tears into Jj, so it feels good that I'm still here, and our 150th episode has aired. I didn't think we would be here for 100, let alone 150 ... and I certainly didn't think I was going to be there for the 150th, because I had been let go!

It really does mean a lot to me, just to see Jj grow and how much she's changed since she's come back. We've had a lot of creative license there, and that was important to me in coming back. I wanted to take her someplace new and give her something exciting, and I'm having a blast. »

Candy for J.J. in Criminal Minds Season 7 Finale

2 April 2012 4:39 AM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »

Criminal Minds Season 7 finale guest star – A.J.’s Mom!

As if the Criminal Minds Season 7 finale wasn’t big enough as it is, the show is bringing in Oscar-nominated actress Candy Clark to portray the mother of Jj (A.J. Cook). The finale as it is is already jam packed with everything you could ask a series to include in a single episode, so the addition of Jj’s dear old mother seems almost like overkill. Make no mistake; this isn’t a happy family reunion. There is some serious drama attached to Clark’s appearance as Sandy Jareau. Unfortunately, we haven’t been told what that is! So now we’re left to our own imagination as to why the elder Jareau is hanging around.

As stated above and confirmed by TV Guide, Clark will appear in the Season 7 finale, which will be a two-hour long event, making it »

His defence lawyer, Kate Moore (Cook), is trying to make the case that he’s innocent, but then strange things start to happen that make everyone involved reconsider their ideas about the seemingly harmless Gwynek. Especially when the full moon rises… »
