K-Fed, Mayer, Bonaduce Under "CSI" Scope

Her body was a wonderland--now it's a crime scene.

Swoon-worthy crooner John Mayer, along with slightly less swoon-worthy reality bad boy Danny Bonaduce, has signed on to appear in the first half of CSI's two-part season premiere, kicking off Sept. 21.

Adding to the guest star bonanza is none other than Kevin Federline, whose last small-screen outing, the widely mocked Teen Choice Awards performance, could serve as a cautionary tale for white boys everywhere.

Luckily for TV owners, this time around Britney's other half will eschew the music and instead, according to People, portray an arrogant, thug-like teen who harasses Nick (George Eads) and Warrick (Gary Dourdan) as the duo attempts to investigate a crime.

"This is pretty much my first time acting," he told the magazine. "It's the first time I've actually had a speaking role."

As for how he landed a role on the most watched show on TV, Federline says no audition was necessary and, accordingly, his performance, which he's currently filming, will "be more of a natural thing."

"I was doing stuff for the Teen Choice Awards and got the call while we were rehearsing and I pissed in my pants! I was excited right off the bat. It's the only show that I really, really watch."

At least now that Chaotic is canceled.

Federline's star turn is tentatively slated to air in October.

Mayer, meanwhile, will appear as himself in the Nielsen-dominating procedural, and will perform two songs from his upcoming third studio album, Continuum--"Slow Dancing in a Burning Room" and his current single, "Waiting on the World to Change."

His serenades will wedge themselves into the decidedly grim action when Catherine (Marg Helgenberger) and Nick's investigation leads them to a Las Vegas nightclub where the Grammy winner will grace the stage.

In addition to Mayer's small-screen turn, former Partridge Family thesp Bonaduce will also appear in a role to die for.

The former child star, who's better known of late for Breaking Bonaduce and assorted offscreen shenanigans, will appear as an ex-rocker turned murder victim.

The top-rated drama's seventh season premiere, "Built to Kill," revolves around the murder of an aspiring dancer backstage during Sin City staple Cirque du Soleil's KA show. The two-part premiere also ups the dramatic ante by finding leading lady Catherine and her family the potential targets of another crime.

While Mayer's cameo appearance will last just long enough to plug his forthcoming release, it's sure to be more successful than his last attempt at TV fame. Last year, he hosted a music-comedy show on VH1, the imaginatively titled John Mayer Has a TV Show, which lasted just one episode.

Last week, meanwhile, Mayer kicked off a 32-date coheadlining tour with Sheryl Crow in Pittsburgh. The tour runs through Oct. 14 in Atlanta.

Continuum is due out Sept. 12.
