Exclusive: Army Wives star Catherine Bell has signed a new two-year deal with ABC Studios, which produces the veteran Lifetime drama series. The deal is qualified as a talent holding one as Army Wives has not been officially renewed beyond the current supersized sixth season. It would cover Bell’s services on the show for two more seasons, and I hear it includes a big salary bump from the actress’ current paycheck, which is in the high five figures per episode. While yet to pull the trigger on a Season 7, Lifetime has been actively exploring its options, including applying for the California TV tax credit lottery, which will be held Friday. I hear keeping the show in South Carolina for one more season and moving production to Los Angeles for two more seasons are among the discussed scenarios. None of the original cast members of Army Wives have deals beyond »

Terry O'Quinn as Gavin Doran in "666 Park Avenue" (ABC/Andrew Eccles)
ABC‘s slate of new shows for fall has a strange flavor to it, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The network has about as many new shows as returning ones (if you count all the midseasons), and a good percentage of the returning offerings are a year old or less, making this look a bit like a rebuilding year.
Not only is it a rebuilding year, but it’s the year of bringing back every actor and actress who ever had a decent run on a show before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a network’s new season slate that was so crammed with people returning from something else. If you can’t make it good, I suppose, make sure viewers recognize the faces.
It’s tricky to get a solid feel »

NCIS Inks Deal With McCallum For Season 10 Despite Hints Of Departure
NCISfans can relax, as David McCallum has inked his Season 10 deal. For those viewers who watched the explosive episode, "Playing With Fire", there was concern that McCallum might not be returning.
In the breathtaking episode, McCallum's character, Dr. Donald 'Ducky' Mallard, was focused on his will and asked Gibbs (Mark Harmon) to be executor of his estate. McCallum's re-signing of his contract means that Ducky should be sharing his wonderful stories for another season.
An integral part of the NCIS canvas since its première in 2003, McCallum is only one reason that NCIS is a ratings blockbuster, even as it goes into Season 10.
Because of its continuing success, CBS renewed NCIS in March, much sooner than many shows that still are waiting for renewal news to come in May. While it seems odd that a show that already has been »

Jeffrey Dean Morgan may be one of the hottest draws on television this spring. The actor best known for playing Denny Duquette on the ABC hit Grey's Anatomy, has been generating buzz for his highly anticipated new drama series, Magic City, which debuts on Starz this week.
But when asked whether it's been tenacity or veracity that helped fuel a surprisingly robust mid-career boom, he happily admits that it's the latter.
"I'm easy to get along with -- I'm not a diva," Morgan admits with a laugh. "I'm just a happy guy."
True, but few actors pull off "happy" with such ease. Morgan's cheerful man's man/everyman persona certainly turned heads and warmed hearts when he played the ill-fated Denny (Izzie's beau) on Grey's (2006-09). But then he surprised critics by packing a studly creative punch on the big screen as a lead player in the box office hit The Watchmen. »

Actor David James Elliott is training to compete in a 32-mile (51.5-kilometre) paddleboarding competition.
The former Jag star, 51, reveals he's had to find another sporting hobby after suffering injuries to his knees from completing the ultimate test of endurance, the Ironman Triathlon, which involves a 2.4-mile (3.86-kilometre) swim, a 112-mile (180.25-kilometre) bike and a marathon 26.2-mile (42.2-kilometre) run.
And now he's become such a pro at paddleboarding, he's testing his water sport skills in the upcoming Molokai-2-Oahu Paddleboard World Championship race in Hawaii.
Appearing on U.S. morning show Live! With Kelly on Thursday, he says, "I'm gonna do a race called the Molokai challenge in Maui. It's 32 miles, ...on a paddleboard.
"I did the Ironman (Triathlon) some years ago but I blew my knees out so I can't run anymore, so now I do jujitsu with my boys... and paddleboard."
The competition takes place on 29 July. »

A navy commander, a technical advisor for a navy weapon being developed by a civillian company is discovered dead on the beach. They find info on the murder by use of a satellite. Gibbs: (Mark Harmon) posits Tony (Michael Weatherly) took " a wave for the team," i.e. stopped the Db from being made wet by a wave and thus preventing the loss of any forensics/vital evidence thus having to endure the eternal shame of having to wear one of Ducky's (David McCallum) "spare" overalls which were about two sizes too small!. Tony should write a letter according to the man at reception at the naval base. Gibbs pointing out Tony's wet clothes and referring to them as "shrinkage." More references to Tony needing a diet, (see later episodes still to come.) and exercising in the gym. Kate's (Sasha Alexander) reference to Tony's bars being non-nutritious and eating donuts. »

Whereas her NCIS costar Michael Weatherly’s acceptance speech was comparatively muted and awash in crocodile tears, Coté de Pablo laid claim to her own TVLine Ultimate Law-Enforcement Crushes Tournament trophy with a bit of fanfare — even offering up some festive intro music.
NCIS Exclusive: The L Word‘s Karina Lombard Cast as Ziva’s [Spoiler]
I hand-delivered de Pablo’s award to her on the NCIS set earlier this week, making clear how impressive a feat Ziva David had pulled off, besting the likes of Jag‘s Sarah ‘Mac’ MacKenzie, Criminal Minds’ Jj Jareau and Chuck‘s Sarah Walker during our bracket tournament, »

Tony (Michael Weatherly) attempts to access Ziva's (Cote de Pablo) e-mail and Ziva catches him in the act with McGee (Sean Murray) watching. He set up a camera to her laptop and it has filmed Tony. At the scene, McGee is told to climb into the tub by Gibbs (Mark Harmon) and pull out Petty Officer Bick. Tony and Palmer (Brian Dietzen) make fun of him having to climb in and the water rises over his wellies. Bick's abdomen was cut open and something removed. Ziva and Tony talk to his wife Tara Bick (Tracy Middendorf) and are interrupted by Petty Officer Jason Crosby (John T Woods). He tells them Bick was under special assignment.

Last week, Zap2it asked our readers to narrow down their TV Lawyers in our TV's Most Crushworthy competition. This week, it's runoff time as we seek out the Ultimate TV Crush.
The fans for "The Good Wife" have spoken, putting Will Gardner (Josh Charles) and Alicia Florrick (Julianna Margulies) as the leaders in the men's and women's polls. But the "Jag" fans came out to play too, as Harm Rabb (David James Elliott) and Mac MacKenzie (Catherine Bell) each took second place. All solid choices, though we're a little sad old-school Corbin Bernsen didn't make a very good showing.
So who takes the Crushworthy prize? The military lawyers or the private practice ones? Vote below -- but do so by Monday (Feb. 27), because the polls close then.

A Db is discovered in acid at a naval base and a partially visible tattoo of the tail of a dolphin suggests the Db was a submariner. An impostor has taken his place on the submarine. Kate (Sasha Alexander) and her comment about how they'll get onto the submarine, well it isn't exactly in port is it, and the only available transport is a helo drop, as seen many times before on Jag. Many submarine episodes on Jag; including season 2's Cowboys and Cossacks, 4.16 Silent Service, 5.7 Rogue, 5.22 Overdue and Presumed Lost, 6.15 Iron Coffin, 7.23 Enemy Below, 8.7 Need to Know, 9.7 Close Quarters. So it had its healthy share of episodes set on submarines throughout its ten seasons. Some better than others. Then Kate complaining about not wanting to be treated differently because she shaves her legs and not her face, but she does shave her face! So she's being singled out because she's a woman, »

Mary Alice: "Paranoia: it's the irrational fear someone is after you. That you're going to be exposed at any moment. Paranoia sneaks upon you causing you to stumble at every turn...paranoia reminds you that no place is truly safe." Bree (Marcia Cross) Gaby (Eva Longoria) and Lynette (Felicity Huffman) stumble about in the woods as if someone is after them. Actually the part with Bree in the opening was good, it was like she was having a nightmare, but don't think she has nightmares really. They need to dig up Alejandro and Gaby wants it over with already. Mary Alice: (Brenda Strong) "Paranoia: it's the irrational fear someone is after you, but even after you hope it isn't real, it can still scare you to death." 3 Days earlier Mary Alice: "Susan Delfino (Teri Hatcher) had always been a great student...knew how to be the teacher's pet: gifts, »

One of Gibbs' former agents contacts him for help with a case involving sailors who have died from drug overdoses aboard an aircraft carrier. Gibbs (Mark Harmon)gets a phone call from his former agent Stan Burleigh,(Joel Gretsch) so we could have an episode where Tony (Michael Weatherly) feels jealous and out of sorts at not being one of Gibbs' fave agents. He still calls Gibbs boss. He worked with Gibbs for 5 years and Abby (Pauley Perrette) still misses him. He was cool, which makes Tony juvenile cool, ha. Tony has to mention working with Gibbs for 5 years, must be a record. Also being sarcastic that Burleigh didn't end up in a strait jacket. Burleigh, like Tony was/is into sports. Gibbs and Burleigh weren't really like Gibbs and Tony. He does have a soft spot for Tony, but Burleigh appeared to be on more of an equal footing with Gibbs. »

Ok, this is just crazy. First, NCIS’ Tony Dinozzo comes out on top in TVLine’s Byzantine Ultimate Law Enforcement Crushes tournament, then his portrayer, Michael Weatherly, goes and gives an award acceptance speech that all but demands that he be presented with yet another statuette! (Best Mock Crying Jag After Sticking It to Nathan Fillion, maybe?)
NCIS Spoiler Alert: Fresh Intel on Tony’s Past!
Seriously — and this really isn’t a surprise, is it? — the actor’s one funny guy. And if you weren’t rooting for him to take the prize before, odds are his tongue-in-cheek thank-you »

A navy lieutenant missing for ten years is found in mummified form, sparking off an investigation and lots of mummy curses and discussion from Tony. Gibbs: "Grab your gear." Tony's (Michael Weatherly) fave words, who then has to gas the truck and doesn't like those words. They have people for that, which is why Gibbs (Mark Harmon) says they have Tony. Kate (Sasha Alexander) asking pointless questions again, like if the mummy could be Lt Farnsworth. How would he know when they've just found the mummy? Tony's a dab hand with the old F14's recognizing the pod is from the external fuel tank, the cargo pod. Tony has now worked for Gibbs for 2 years and he's touched he remembered. (In one episode, he said 18 months) Gibbs hired Tony because he thought it was a good idea at the time. Tony is touched that Gibbs remembered his 2 years. Also they »

Mary Alice: "It is often said that children learn their most important lessons outside the classroom...master the art of conversation..but for Gaby Solis the art of morning drop-off was something she never learned." Gaby (Eva Longoria) drops off Juanita (Madison De La Garza) and lets her out before reaching the drop off point. She is faced by Dana (Beth Littleford) who removes Gaby's drop off privileges. If Gaby can take the placard from her then she can have it, but Gaby can't reach it. Mary Alice (Brenda strong) "Some of our most important lessons are learned outside the classroom and when it came to school politics, Gaby's education was just beginning." Mary Alice: "When it came to her separation, Lynette Scavo was determined to do everything by the book...kept perfect records of her household expenses...convinced her by the book approach was the right one. »

A man takes a dive in the ocean and finds a Db of a sailor in his dress whites. He had no reason to be dressed this way and also he shouldn't have an officer's sword as he was enlisted. Tony (Michael Weatherly) wanted to go to Puerto Rico since he was little, so wonder what the big attraction was back then? Ducky's (David McCallum) explanation of why they drive on the left hand side of the road in the UK and a few other countries, officers rode on the left side so leaving their right hand free with which to fight, think of jousts and most people being right handed. Ducky: "...I'll get our poor seaman out of his wet clothes." Tony: "You're not going to say, 'and into a dry martini'." Tony in 007 mode, as we'll get plenty of Sean Connery impressions later.

Hollywood loves its hot young-ish stars, from the Ryans (Gosling and Reynolds), to Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Pattinson, Johnny Depp, even Zac Efron -- and my future second husband, James Franco. Together, these fine fellows have returned billions in box office earnings, not to mention an Oscar nomination or two.
But what about the boys who labor on screen, but whose popularity is more than a smidge less than their superstar brethren? After all, for every super-hot Bradley Cooper, there’s an equally hot but underused Justin Bartha. And for every magnificent specimen like Chris Evans, there’s, well, Chris Evans.
Here are 12 Hollywood actors whose presence on big and little screens is a great mixture of talent, brains and a beautiful expanse of brawn. Their careers may not curently have the luster they deserve, but with luck, timing, and the right part, they could be on the verge of superstardom. »
