In addition to all of the other news we’ve been reporting, here are a few entertainment and TV headlines you might have missed:

-Amanda Righetti, known for ‘The Mentalist,’ will guest star on ‘Chicago Fire’ and Chicago P.D.,’ E! reports. She’ll star as a pediatrician on upcoming crossover episodes for both NBC dramas. There’s also speculation that Righetti might head up another ‘Chicago’ spin-off focused on a hospital titled ‘Chicago M.D.,’ but, as of right now, that’s purely rumor.

Love the campy photo Allyson. Fargo looks interesting. Righetti should have been on Masters of sex portraying a Nympho. Rest reads like stale old crap.
