I think Samcro is getting ready to endure some really rough rides because it looks like some new blood will be playing by a different set of rules. Sure, Danny Trejo will be joining Sons of Anarchy for a little while in Season 4… and you know it’s impossible to picture him wearing a badge, but the other new additions all seem to be of the law enforcement variety. Rockmond Dunbar and Lamonica Garrett are the new law in town, and Monsters and Critics now brings word that Debi Mazar will be joining the FX hit for a multi-episode arc as Samcro’s federal parole officer agent.

If you’ve been a fan of HBO’s Entourage, then you probably recognize her as Shauna. If cooking is more your style, then you might have tuned in to catch her and her husband Gabriele Corcos on the Cooking Channel’s Extra Virgin.

It seems like Debi Mazar has been around forever, jump-starting her career in the mid-'80s as Madonna's sidekick in such music videos as 'Papa Don't Preach' and 'True Blue.' By the early '90s, she'd found her niche with roles in movies like 'Goodfellas' and 'Jungle Fever' playing the girl with the striking pin-up-style looks and thick Queens accent.

But Mazar is probably best known as Vincent Chase's sharp-tongued publicist Shauna on 'Entourage' -- and for her short-lived stint on Season 9 of 'Dancing With the Stars.' And her delightful cooking show, 'Extra Virgin,' was just picked up for a second season on the Cooking Channel.

Here, she dishes on the ups and downs of the three weeks she spent 'Dancing,' how her love of family and Tuscan food blossomed into a new...
