Well, it’s the hiatus between shooting the seasons of CSI: Vegas and the show’s stars have a lot going on. Even though they are not shooting CSI, they are often still working on other projects.

Also, when Laurence Fishburne was announced as a new cast member for the show, so many of us were incredibly excited because we’ve seen him in many, many movies before and know that he’s a mega-star. If you wonder what else he’s been in, be sure to check him out on IMDb sometime. But the things he has in the works right now are amazing, with a prime-time series too.

Here are all the films that CSI cast members have in the works, I know you’ll want to keep an eye out for them.

I found the most fun photo of CSI: Vegas star Marg Helgenberger that was taken at this year’s Kentucky Derby.

It’s a tradition for all the women to attend wearing their most impressive hat. I think Marg may just have the largest brimmed hat there! It looks like she had a great time.

According to Variety, the annual Monte Carlo TV Festival begins on Sunday in Monaco. And just like in years past, two fo the CSI series will compete for the title of most-watched TV drama, worldwide.

This year, CSI: Vegas, CSI: Miami & House MD will go head to head for the title. The nominations were chosen by the Producers’ Guld of America and one of them will bring home the title this year. I’ll keep you posted.

The fest has had to develop a new identity since it abandoned its market in 2001. CEO David Tomatis said Tuesday that it now serves as a networking event for producers and talent; a platform for international productions in its six competitive sections; and an opportunity for some 350 invited journos, mostly from Europe, to meet U.S. talent.

As a fan of all three of the CSI series, I see it as a 2 out of 3 chance of winning. Those are great odds!!

Here is a nice candid photo taken by paparazzi when CSI: Vegas star Marg Helgenberger was out doing what many of us do every day, walking her dog. The dog looks like it’s well behaved on the leash and seems like it may be a very sweet dog. I love photos that remind us that no matter how famous someone is, they are still regular people like the rest of us.

I know that we’ve already seen the CSI: Vegas 200th episode, but I just found this great clip of the cast at the party. It’s pretty fun because Marg Helgenberger tells that there are only four shows on TV these days that have made it to the 200 episode milestone, and only two of them have live actors. LOL!

George Eads talks a bit about Laurence Fishburne and how lucky the show is to have such a great actor join it. There are some fun candid shots of the cast enjoying the celebration too. I hope you enjoy it:

Here are some photos that were snapped of CSI: Vegas star Marg Helgenberger as she arrived to do the Late Show With David Letterman last week. I like the blue dress and think she looks as lovely as ever. She made the rounds to promote the big 200th episode, which was mostly centered around Laurence Fishburne’s character. I wonder why he didn’t make appearances for the episode too…?

Last night, CSI: Vegas star Marg Helgenberger was a guest on the Late Show With David Letterman where she promoted tonight’s 200th episode of the show. She looked as lovely as ever and they had a fun conversation.

She went on to tell Dave about her son being in college and the things that happened when he came home for a visit recently. Apparently, he brought some of his friends home for the visit with him and they must have had more “fun” than she expected…ahh, the college life… At least she has a good sense of humor about it.

CSI: Vegas star Marg Helgenberger recently did a public service announcement for stopglobalwarming.org. She gave her tip, driving a hybrid SUV, a totally unexpected and funny twist. I love it! And it’s great how she can make us laugh while she tells us how to help our planet. Check it out:

…a crime scene-decorated cake, that is!

Check out these fun photos of the cast & crew of CSI: Vegas when they celebrated their 200th episode yesterday on the lot at Universal Studios. The cake is hilarious! It’s a crime scene, complete with a chalk-body marking, crime scene tape and a magnifying glass. I love it!! It’s absolutely the most appropriate cake for the occasion.

And it looks like everyone except Gary Dourdan & Jorja Fox were there to celebrate too. Check out the photo with Laurence Fishburne, William Petersen, Marg Helgenberger, Paul Guilfoyle, Liz Vassey, George Eads, Eric Szmana, Lauren Lee Smith, Archie Kao, David Berman & Robert David Hall.

On Tuesday, William Petersen, aka Gil Grissom was honored with his own star on the Walk of Fame. For those of you who want to see it, it’s located in front of Musso’s & Franks Restaurant in Los Angeles.

And nearly all of his fellow CSI: Vegas co-stars were there to celebrate the occasion with him. I don’t see Lauren Lee Smith, Wallace Langham, Paul Guilfoyle or Gary Dourdan, But Robert David Hall, David Berman, Liz Vassey, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Marg Helgenberger and Archie Kao all were there.

Here are some cute photos of them at the event, including one where Petersen dusted the star for fingerprints! LOL!
