[*]The Lt. Dan Band will this Saturday perform in the Chicago Ridge Summer Festival. The band features New York's <font color=yellow>Gary Sinise</font> (Mac Taylor) on the bass. Admission is only $8 dollars at the gate.

[*]Sinise is also one of the many celebrities involved in the foundation Veterans of Foreign Wars, which is solely devoted to supporting active U.S. military. The foundation recently launched its official website.

[*]<font color=yellow>George Eads</font> (Nick Stokes) recently talked about the fact that CSI received no acting nominations at the Emmy's. "All I've read about is how awful it is that that one actress from Desperate Housewives didn't get nominated," he said. "Well, no one in our cast got a nomination and we're watched by a lot more people."

[*]A poster of the <font color=yellow>Melina Kanakarades</font> (Stella Bonasera) movie Into The Fire has been posted at Divine Providence, a website dedicated to the Greek actress. Into The Fire will hit theatres in New York on September 23rd.

[*]If you live near Des Moines, Iowa, you can check out novelist <font color=yellow>Max Allan Collins's</font> play Eliot Ness: An Untouchable Life, which will be presented on August 18-27 at The Des Moines Playhouse. Ness tells the story of <font color=yellow> Eliot Ness</font>, who was hired by President <font color=yellow>Herbert Hoover</font> to bring down Chicago's most famous mafia don, <font color=yellow>Al Capone.</font> Visit the author's official website to learn more about it.

[*]A series of vintage articles have been added to David Caruso Fans.com. The latest updates includes featurettes on <font color=yellow>David Caruso</font> (Horatio Caine) by Entertainment Tonight, and CSI: Miami focused articles by the Pittsburgh Post Gazette, South Florida Sun Sentinel, and Entertainment Tonight.

[*]Screen caps of the Miami episode "Legal" have been added to JustAdam.net. The images are centered around <font color=yellow>Adam Rodriguez's</font> Eric Delko.

[*]Tonight, the Malaysian channel AFN will air the two hour season finale of CSI, "Grave Danger." If you live in the country, check out a review of the episode, in which the author explains what to expect in terms of quality. The report is spoiler safe, but not entirely spoiler free.

[*] CSI isn't the only series in the franchise being scrutinized for having too much violence. According to the Herald Sun, the close-ups and storylines showcased on Miami and New York make the two series too gruesome and violent for primetime TV.

[*]The new procedural series Bones has been compared to CSI numerous times, but <font color=yellow> Kathy Reichs </font>, the main character's real-life persona, admitted the show will be more realistic than CSI. According to Reichs, the main focus will be, "working on plotlines, trying to put the science into them and keeping the science honest." That means, no DNA analysis done in less than 53 seconds. Bones revolves the work of forensic anthropologist Temperance Brennan who, in her spare time, writes novels about a forensic anthropologist named Kathy Reichs.

[*]<font color=yellow>Nick Damici</font>, who portrays Det. Patrick Colton on CSI: New York has landed the starring role in the indie horror film Mulberry Street. The actor also co-wrote the movie, which will begin filming August 15th in New York City. The film tells the story of six characters trapped in a downtown building while a borne virus spreads on the city streets outside, causing the human population to change.

[*]In South Florida, colleges are trying to keep up with the amount of students who are becoming interested in crime scene investigation as a career. But the students are finding crime scene work it's nothing like it looks on TV. "While there's fun and glamour in the forensic sciences, there's also a lot of menial work," said <font color=yellow>Jeannette Perr</font>, a doctoral student at Florida International University. "Sometimes the police bring you the evidence in a bucket, and you have to put it all together."

[*]In the Netherlands, CSI: Miami and CSI: New York will be moving to the television station RTL 5. RTL 4 will keep the original CSI.

[*]In Canada, companies are doing everything they can to motivate their employees, including entering Canadian Outback, a program which allows employees to spend some time outdoors to relieve stress. One of the programs is CSI: Canadian Outback, in which teams work together to navigate their way to a series of crime scenes. Participants search for clues and hand in their evidence upon completion. The challenge is to solve the mystery.

[*]President of the Screen Actors Guild <font color=yellow>Melissa Gilbert</font> will walk away from the job this fall, and <font color=yellow>Alan Rosenberg</font> is one of the candidates for the job. The real-life husband of <font color=yellow>Marg Helgenberger</font> (Catherine Willows), Rosenberg guest starred in the CSI episode "Weeping Willows" this season. Other contenders include actors <font color=yellow>Morgan Fairchild</font> and <font color=yellow>Robert Conrad.</font>[/list]<center></center>
 
George Eads (Nick Stokes) recently talked about the fact that CSI received no acting nominations at the Emmy's. "All I've read about is how awful it is that that one actress from Desperate Housewives didn't get nominated," he said. "Well, no one in our cast got a nomination and we're watched by a lot more people."

Awww... George sounds a little bitter. Reasonably so, of course! I love it when actors are blatantly honest about what they think of how things turned out. Oh well... CSI is too good for that anyway.
 
Finally, one of the cast members is saying what we're all thinking! I'm with the guy 100%!

In the very least they should have gotten the best drama nomination. And if I could ask for only a little more, one of the leads (Marg or William) should have gotten one. And in my perfect world, George would get one for best supporting actor, but I know that would have been asking a lot of the lame Emmy people! :rolleyes:
 
Hey thanks!

Kind of a bitchy little internet rag though, huh? They were cutting evrybody up. I'm not exactly a Jennifer Love Hewitt fan but man, that was sort of mean.
 
I agree with George. I'm not a big fan of awards shows and the like in the first place because they rarely reward the deserving.
 
I read somewhere..and I will look it up..that Marc Cherry said that the other actresses that were nominated had friends in the voting members, so that made things a little easier for them.

Guess George isn't much of a brown-noser..since it appears to be not what you know, but who you know that gets you far in Hollywood.

And it may not be true that he said it..

I totally agree especially about George getting one when I saw "Grave Danger", I thought for sure he would be nominated. But thats the Emmy's for you.

Yes, and unfortunately we don't live in a perfect world. And I totally agree with George. So what if ONE actress from DH didn't get nominated? Boo hoo, cry me a river. At the very least, GE should've been nominated for Best Supporting Actor and CSI for Best Drama.

I'm glad that someone's finally speaking up about it.
