There's talk on twitter about a funny short video clip of Simon on the Conan O'Brien show last night. It seems that Conan took a fan to say Hi on the Warner Bros lot, and Simon ran away - apparently he's very fast!

 

 

The Mentalist's Patrick Jane is about to get a (perhaps unwanted) blast from the past.

Former Lie to Me and The Practice star Kelli Williams will guest-star on the CBS drama's upcoming fourth season, TVGuide.com has learned exclusively. She will play Beth Flint, a woman who once hired Jane (Simon Baker) during his days as a pretend psychic.

"She still believes he has psychic powers," creator and executive producer Bruno Heller tells us. "When her 9-year-old son, Connor, is kidnapped, she begs Jane to use those abilities to find Connor, putting Jane in a painful position."

Williams, 41, is best known for her work as Lindsay Dole on The Practice and most recently as Dr. Gillian Foster on Fox's Lie to Me. She has also appeared on Scrubs, Men in Trees and Criminal Minds. Williams' episode is slated to air Oct. 6. (4.03 Pretty Red Balloon)

 

Also, for anyone who struggled to read the article, I've done a transcript now in the Comments section of the photograph.

 

 

Excerpt:

Cosying up with actor Simon Baker inside his trailer, it seemed the opportune time to pop the big question. Is this Aussie actor as good as the character he plays - the Mentalist's Patrick Jane - at gleaning information from people in an ever so unorthodox way?

 

The razor sharp mind and wit of his character are not needed on the set of the for the next 15 minutes, which gives me quarter of an hour to gather some of Baker's secrets - and upcoming plots - for 20/20 viewers.

 

"Nice ring..." he says, pointing to my engagement ring.

I blush. He laughs. Simon Baker, it appears, has mastered the technique both inside and outside of the Warner Brothers Studio; he just successfully threw me off my game.

Sorry, I don't know which ones.
