NCIS GOES HAWAIIAN

Aloha! Vanessa Lachey makes history as the first female lead in the NCIS franchise with the premiere of NCIS: Hawai’i (Sept. 20 on CBS). She’ll star as Jane Tennant, a single mom who’s risen through the ranks of a maledominated system to now lead the NCIS Pearl Harbor team. “What is different about me than the other NCIS leads? I am not as handsome and charming as them,” jokes Lachey, 40, a former Miss Teen USA who has appeared in numerous TV series, hosted various competitions and reality shows and most recently appeared in the recurring role of

Tara Barnett on the sitcom Call Me Kat.
