Melina Kanakaredes has been through a lot as Stella Bonasera on CSI: NY. As the second-in-command and right-hand woman in the New York Police Department's crime lab, she has often put her life in peril, considering the risks of her work, not to mention her share of bad luck when it comes to men. Heading towards the rest of season 4, she'll be dealing with a lot more on her plate, as confirmed by the 40-year-old actress who portrays her.
When asked what will happen in with her character this season, Kanakaredes revealed, “She is being pursued by this mystery guy and he's pursuing her with a major vengeance. It's almost too much too fast. This poor girl just does not have the best luck with men. You have to stay tuned to see what happens. It's kind of an interesting twist and it ends up affecting more than just Stella. It could be very dangerous for somebody!”

On the October 24 episode of CBS' hit drama CSI: NY, the crime procedural will feature a murder investigation that meanders into the virtual world of Second Life. Gary Sinise's detective will track a real-life killer all the way into the popular world of Second Life, a real online dimension where millions of users create avatars and co-exist in a fully functional civilization. Second Life is actually one of the most interesting technological phenomenons of recent years. For a fee of $10 a month, anyone can sign up for a Second Life account and fully immerse themselves in an entirely virtual world. In a recent episode of Law & Order: SVU entitled “Avatar,” the NBC drama had a similar storyline which utilized an entirely imaginary online world. CSI: NY, however, is using the real thing with Second Life's cooperation.

CSI: NY fans can expect Mac Taylor to carry on his detective duties until 2011. His portrayer, Gary Sinise, has just struck a new deal with CBS/Paramount which extends his contract with the crime-solving series for a couple more seasons. In line with the negotiation, the 52-year-old actor will also be getting a raise.
The network previously had chosen to lock Sinise to CSI: NY through spring 2010 but has decided to add another year to that option. In exchange for extending his contract, the studio has increased Sinise's salary to around $5 million per year, translating into a little more than $200,000 per episode. The deal with Sinise comes despite the fact that CBS has not renewed CSI: NY beyond the current season.

CSI: NY star Carmine Giovinazzo has offered his support to Save Ellis Island, an organization geared towards restoring “the great national landmark and irreplaceable American icon,” which served as an entry point to over 12 million people from around the world. The organization's campaign, "We Are Ellis Island," features celebrities like Giovinazzo and ordinary citizens sharing stories of how Ellis Island is part of their respective family histories.
"My grandfather spoke Italian," Carmine Giovinazzo said as he shared his story through the "We Are Ellis Island" website. "He came over from Naples. The boat that he took left Naples [in] 1923. He arrived here in May, just two years after my grandfather from Oslo, Norway arrived here in May of 1921." Giovinazzo's grandmother also entered the United States through Ellis Island when she was only seven years old.
