Turns out, it was Gary Sinise's arms, not a thick slab of concrete, that caught Jessalyn Gilsig when she nosedived off her roof on Nip/Tuck last month.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that Gilsig has been tapped to play a new love interest for Sinise on CSI: NY. Her character, which I first teased in last week's Ask Ausiello, is described as a sexy, professional, mid-thirties female who works in the mayor's office.

Gilsig's slated to appear in at least three episodes with an option to return next season. Guess they're waiting to see how viewers take to Big Mac's new lovah.
