Marg Helgenberger’s Divorce Good News for CSI
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Divorce,
Marg Helgenberger has just won extra points in my book.
Instead of sticking with the “I wasn’t quite ready to let go of the character” excuse for her extended CSI stay (which Helgenberger did give), the CBS star chose to be quite candid.
Marg - who has played Catherine Willows since the show began in 2000 - says her divorce from longtime husband Alan Rosenberg is another reason why she agreed to return for another year.
“Well, there’s been a few changes in my personal life. My ex-husband and I are on very, very good terms, but the way the money was divided certainly had something to do with me deciding to come back for another season,” she explained.
The actress, of course, admits we should not feel sorry about her financial situation. “Yes, it’s been a very lucrative job for me, so this wasn’t something I financially had to do. It was something I wanted to do to build up my savings a bit more.”
Suze Orman would be proud.

CSI’s Gary Dourdan Pleads Guilty to Drug Possession
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drugs, Legal Issues,
Although he faced up to nearly 4 years in prison, actor Gary Dourdan managed to leave court today with only a slap on the hand.
The CSI star had been charged with three counts of felony drug possession after a police search of his car back on April 28. After pleading guilty to the Ecstasy and cocaine charges (a third for heroin was dismissed), the 41-year-old was ordered to complete a diversion program.
In a statement to the press, Dourdan’s lawyer said the star was, of course, sorry for his mistakes. “He very much regrets what happened, and he’s very embarrassed by what occurred, but he’s looking forward to moving on and getting back to work.”
So let’s see - instead of jail time, he gets 16 months to complete 30 hours of drug-education classes? What’s he going to do with himself in the meantime?

CSI’s Gary Dourdan Arrested for Drugs
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Drugs, Mug Shots, Breaking News,
Just a few weeks ago, TV Envy reported that Gary Dourdan would be leaving his post at CSI. At the time, it appeared the actor who had played Warrick Brown since 2000 had made the decision to leave on his own. But did he really?
Since that initial story, TV Guide hinted that Gary’s departure may have been prompted by studio execs. Why? Possibly because of an “ongoing problem personal to Dourdan.”
