It looks like there’s a new member of the team on The Mentalist to help…or hinder Patrick Jane. I can’t wait to find out what kind of character he will be.

Patrick Jane should have a field day reading this guy: Former Oz actor Terry Kinney is joining The Mentalist as an ex of Lisbon’s (Robin Tunney) and a major player in the Red John investigation, sources confirm to me semi-exclusively.

Kinney, who most recently starred in ABC’s short-lived cop dramedy The Unusuals, will play the recurring role of Sam Bosco, a by-the-book California Bureau of Investigations agent who heads up the division overseeing the Red John case. Bosco served as Lisbon’s mentor as she was coming up through the ranks, during which they shtupped once or twice (or a lot). Further complicating matters: The two share a deep, dark secret!

Bosco is also one of the few people immune to P.J.’s charms. He hates his unorthodox methods and is determined to oust him from the CBI. Kinney’s deal calls for him to appear in at least seven episodes. [Source: EW]

Bones fans, and Lie to Me fans may get a real treat this season. According to EW, Dr. Lightman from Lie to Me may be a guest character on Bones for an episode. As a fan of both shows, I think it would be so cool if Dr. Lightman calls Booth out when he tries to deny his feelings for Brennan. Lightman can see through any lie, even when the person is lying to themself. Here’s the scoop:

Do you have any info on the upcoming season of Lie to Me? — Kate

TIM: It turns out I may have been overly pessimistic last week when I said Cal Lightman’s chances of a rekindled romance with his ex-wife, Zoe, were slim. Lie to Me’s new executive producer, Shawn Ryan, says the show isn’t ruling out any romantic options. “Cal Lightman is a healthy, single man spending a lot of time around Gillian [Kelli Williams] and Zoe [Jennifer Beals],” he tells the Buzz. “Temptation would certainly be understandable.” [Source: TV Guide]
