Emily Procter Becomes A Rock Star

CSI Files

Captain
<font color=yellow>Emily Procter</font> (Calleigh Duquesne) will be embarking on a second career as a rock star next week, when her band White Lightning is scheduled to play its first concert in Los Angeles.

"[It's] a power ballad cover band," Procter told Inside TV magazine (via the David Caruso Message Board). She's formed White Lightning together with <Font color=yellow>Annie Livingstone</font>, a former stand-in at CSI: Miami. Procter is the lead singer of the band, whose repertoire includes <font color=yellow>Bette Middler's</font> "The Rose" and Whitesnake's "Here I Go Again." Procter admitted, "I am terrified!"

White Lightning will be playing its first gig on Wednesday the 18th of May at the Largo in Los Angeles, where, somewhat bizarrely, their performance is listed as "Music/Comedy." But Procter seemed intent on taking things seriously. "We all are a little stronger than we think and sometimes it's OK to be petrified," she said. "I started White Lightning because I feel that if you have an inkling that you want to do something, you should just do it-because not doing it is harder to live with."

Even if Procter is turning into a rock star now, it won't be all sex, drugs and rock & roll for her. In fact, the actress also admitted to dreaming about motherhood. "Let's just say that I'm a person witha plan and [adoption] was part of my plan and I'm giving it some very serious thought," she said. Procter refused to say if her plans also included a potential father, but did hint she was out on the dating scene again.

Should CSI: Miami fans get worried, if Procter does follow through with her plans? Inside TV didn't mention whether the actress would be leaving the show if she were to become a mother, but Procter did say she'd have to scale back her work schedule in some way. "Ultimately, I always say not much gets in the way of human beings and what they want. If you want to be the best parent you can be, that would be a choice that would be very easy to make."

More from Procter, including word of the belt buckles she bought all of her Miami co-stars, and her favorite hobby of interior decorating, can be found in the May 9 edition of Inside TV. If you'd like to attend Procter's White Lightning gig, more info can be found at the official Largo site -- please let us know if you're going, as we'd love to receive a full report! Thanks go out to <font color=yellow>Carol</font> at the David Caruso Message Board for this!<center></center>
 
I actually went to the show last night. It was lots of fun and not what I expected.
 
well...actually..more of a mockrockstar..the whole band is a fictional entity in the sense that Emily and Annie are actully 'Britt and Vag' ....imagine 'Connie & Carla' in the airport lounge only doing power ballads instead of showtunes ;)
 
Does anyone have a little snippet of Emily singing? Coz I would really like to hear her sing, specially with her sexy southern accent! lol!! I 'love' her accent is soo cool!! Like all Americans have accents, & we Australians have accents, but Emily's accent is American AND its southern, which makes her accent even more sexy, & she's got like a southern drawl to it..if you's get what I mean....so what I'm asking is, does anyone have a recording of Emily singing coz I really wanna hear it. Thanks in advance.
 
mmmmhmmm... I got a clips of her doing a little singing from when she was on the ellen degeneres show, but it was more like warming up lol
