Sela Ward Officially Joins CSI: NY
Gary Sinise's Detective Mac Taylor has just been assigned a new partner on CSI: NY. The CBS crime procedural -- which just announced yesterday that star Melina Kanakaredes is exiting the show -- has welcomed Sela Ward to the cast as an "experienced investigator from Washington, D.C., whose work is driven by her empathy for the victim." The Sisters alum will make her first appearance on the season seven premiere this fall. Good luck, Sela -- don't let Melina's CSI casting boomerang hit you on the way in. [Deadline]

Honestly is this woman aging at all? She looks fabulous.
Really glad to see Melina leaving the show. She was often the reason I didn’t catch an episode.Sela Ward is lovely looking and also a much better actress. Ward and Sinise would be an excellent pairing.Melina left when CBS wouldn’t pay her what she thought she was worth. She’s the primary reason Providence drew such poor ratings and was cancelled, and also the main reason [other then the Danny - Lindsay bubblegum scenarios] that CSI: NY has lagged. This show has needed a very good looking woman figure. Melina tried with the low cut tops and such things, but she just couldn't achieve a sexy look. No problem with Sela Ward living up to that part and she's a much stronger actress whom can assume most any role well. Sela Ward replacing Melina is the best thing to happen to this show in a long time. Gary Sinise is the star of the show, he’s still there, better looking then ever, and the show will be even better now.
