'Dancing With The Stars' Season 14 Dream Casting
What To Watch On TV This Week
Grey's adds another bisexual gal
Grey's Anatomy is adding another bi-curious female doctor into the Hahn-Torres fray -- and it looks like she'll be played Melissa George. EW's Michael Ausiello reports that George, best known for her role as butt-kicking bad girl on Alias, is in final negotiations to play "an intern with, um, an open mind toward sexuality."She's being positioned as a possible love interest for one of Seattle Grace's other two female-loving females, Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) or Erica Hahn (Brooke Smith), who first locked lips in last year's season finale.
No word on exactly how long she'll stick around, but EW's sources suggest it'll be a while.

Danneel Harris cast in 'How I Met Your Mother' (CBS)
She'll play the (very hot) sister to Ted's fiancee Stella (Sarah Chalke) on a episode to air during November sweeps. Another conquest for Barney? Perhaps. But we wouldn't be shocked if she somehow comes between the (possible) future Mr. and Mrs. Moseby.

Scott Wolf cast in 'CSI: NY' (CBS)
The 'Party of Five' alum joins Chris Daughtry and Rumer Willis in the show's 100th episode. They all play people named Mac Taylor -- yep, a name shared by show lead Gary Sinise. Wouldn't be so bad, except there's a serial killer who's decided he doesn't really like Mac Taylors, so he's offing them one by one.

William Fichtner cast in 'Night & Day' (TNT)
He's signed on as the lead -- an agent with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms -- in '24' creator Joel Surnow's pilot. Don't worry, though -- there are currently no plans to kill of Fichtner's Mahone on 'Prison Break.' Fichtner will only star on the show should 'Prison' not return for a fifth season.
