It already sort of makes sense to mention former Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson in the same sentence, as they're both hot guys from England. But after tonight's episode of crime drama "Criminal Minds," there will be another way the two will cross paths: They'll both have played sexy vampires.

"Criminal Minds" star Matthew Gray Gubler dished to MTV News about Gavin's cameo on the show, revealing that Mr. Gwen Stefani will embrace his rocker roots and go for the jugular in the episode which airs tonight at 9 p.m. CBS.

"He may or may not be [a killer]. He plays a vampiric sort of rock star who may or may not be killing people to hype his album," said Gubler, who plays FBI profiler and psychologist Dr. Spencer Reid. "I'll be honest: I've noticed that [vampire] craze as well and no [we're not trying to cash in]. The thing is that [vampirism] is actually a pretty common delusion."

He went on to note that since rock stars and vampires seem to have pretty similar schedules (minus the whole blood-sucking thing), it makes sense for Gavin to try the role on for size. "So if you're going to pick something to fit a rock star, I think we went more with what are the odds of what he would be that cinematically interesting to watch and rather them him being a pedophile," he explained. "They went with rock star."

Yesterday, tennis sensation Roger Federer won Wimbledon in an epic battle with Andy Roddick. A whole host of records fell during the over four hour match: Federer served up a personal best 50 aces and took Roddick to the longest fifth set (it went 30 games) in Wimbledon history. But most importantly, Federer's win represented his 15th Grand Slam title, which breaks Pete Sampras' individual record.

One of the best parts about watching the Wimbledon final (or any championship match featuring Federer) is that you can bet that Gavin Rossdale will get plenty of TV time. He's friends with Federer and often sits next to Federer's wife during matches. The former Bush frontman is a skilled tennis player himself (he also could have had a career playing professional soccer), and also happens to have had a minor hit last year with his first official solo album Wanderlust, a ballad-heavy outing that featured an excellent little tune called "Forever May You Run."

Now that Scott Weiland’s reunion with the Stone Temple Pilots is finally official, what’s next for Velvet Revolver, the band the singer was booted from just last week? Already, guitarist Slash has promised a third record from VR, and he even said in a recent interview with Rolling Stone that the band's got a few fellas in mind to take over behind the mike. Slash even admitted that, as recently as last month, the band auditioned at least one hopeful -- right around the time that rumors of the band’s split started gaining speed.

So, who do we think would work well with Velvet Revolver? Here’s a couple of possible hopefuls the band should consider, after the jump... Read more...
