So much for Angela's self-imposed celibacy.

The Bones character will give in to temptation early next season, and the lucky individual she'll get into bed with is someone with whom viewers are familiar.

Actress Michaela Conlin describes her new sex partner as "hot," while adding that she heard about her character's upcoming bedroom dalliance from Bones creator Hart Hanson at a recent Fox party.

"I didn't expect that. It's been six months for Angela," Conlin told TV Guide Magazine, referring to Angela's previous relationship with Roxie.

This time, Hanson confirms, her partner will be male. So start placing your bets, readers:

Will it be Hodgins? Jared Booth? Someone else?

Meanwhile, Conlin and her co-stars recently posed for a season five promotional photo (below). The Fox hit returns, with a slightly off-kilter Seeley Booth, on September 17.
