Sorry, PopWatchers — you’re gonna have to kick off your Sunday with a shot of Gilles Marini in a towel. I’m really sorry about that. EW got an early peek at Gilles’ ass…ets on the next two episodes of FX’s Nip/Tuck. Starting Wednesday, Nov. 18, the Sex and the City star will appear as the new husband of Vanessa Redgrave’s recurring character, Erica (Julia’s mother).”He’s a little bit younger, not too too young,” explains Gilles, who filmed the episodes just before he started twirling around in purple chiffon on Dancing With the Stars, season 7. His Nip/Tuck character, Renaldo, is nothing like Luc, the sensitive artist/lover he’s currently playing opposite Rachel Griffiths on Brothers & Sisters. “This one is very, very bad,” warns Gilles. “He’s a player. He has an agenda. It’s Nip/Tuck — you have to expect that. You can assume fights, you can assume drama, you can assume Oh no he didn’t! That’s pretty much it.”
I’m trying to decide which of Marini’s best euro-sexy first names has been so far: Dante, Renaldo, or Luc. Oh screw that, I’m just gonna go with Gilles. Or, as Samantha Harris would pronounce it: Zheeeeeeeeeeel.
Check out this week’s issue of EW for even more First Looks.

yay i love nip/tuck and i love gilles too he is sooo hot!
I am so happy for Vanessa Redgrave!
Have never watched Nip & Tuck, but will certainly check out the episodes with Gilles Marini in them. Looking forward to him as a bad guy for a change.
He’s French, he has no hangup about his body. Did you see him in SATC? Oh my GAWD, that was one sexy man.
Nip/Tuck has been really good this season. I’m excited for Gilles to make an appearance. He is so gorgeous. My favorite DWTS “celebrity” of all time.
put gilles marini back on dwts for a special apperance and just dance for fun
Samantha Harris is moron. How is she still on that show? She is just terrible.
have you looked at Gilles Marini 2010 calendar… O M G

i think its hysterical that this guy is getting so much work just cause he showed his penis in sex & the city
I just watched Nip/Tuck from last week with Gilles and he surely was not the charming artist in “Brothers/Sisters”. Vanessa Redgrave looked awful and in great need of any kind of surgery plastic or metallic. Sorry to see this crazy show reaching its end.
Even though (and I have been noticing this with a other shows) the show becomes less and less about what the main focus was early on in the series, it’s still great. It still has that combination of the surgery, the drama it brings and the drama in their personal lives. In my opinion, it hasn’t lost what makes it a great show and hasn’t gotten cheesy or boring! Which leaves it all in all, very interesting and worth watching.
