…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.

Here’s a video clip spoiler for tonight’s episode of CSI: Vegas. In it, Willows and Langston are investigating a crime scene with a dismembered FBI agent. Willows tries to help Langston remember that it’s important not to think ahead of the evidence. It’s a grisly crime scene, but the show looks like another great one!!

Episode 9.02 - The Happy Place
Air Date: October 16, 2008

The show begins with Sara and Grissom sharing moments in bed. As obvious as it is that they still care deeply for each other, he can’t convince her to stay in Vegas. His phone rings. It’s the lab.

A woman, Sprig Grenigier, leaps to her death from an apartment window. The team begins investigating the apartment and surrounding scene. They are unconvinced that Sprig committed suicide. Minutes before her death, she had received a phone call from a payphone across the street from the apartments.

Meanwhile, Grissom leads the investigation at the scene of a woman’s body in the alley behind a pawn shop. Her eyes have been poked and ruptured like a pair of grapes, as if by a pair of thumbs.

In this week’s season premiere of CSI: Vegas, the episode ended with a very emotional tribute to Warrick Brown…at his funeral. In this clip, we get to see a montage of scenes with Warrick and the tear-jerking eulogy delivered by Gil Grissom…

CSI: Vegas fans have been waiting (and even mourning) since the season 8 finale, when Warrick Brown was shot, to find out his fate. We know that Gary Dourdan is leaving the cast, but we still don’t know if that means he is going to live or die.

CBS Just released a spoiler/teaser video clip for tomorrow night’s season 9 premiere. In it, the cast members all talk about what it was like to film both the S8 finale and the S9 premiere. Apparently, they found it very emotional. After all, they’ve been a “family”, of sorts for over 8 years. It really must be hard to act out the loss of one of their own.

Check out this clip. I really enjoyed when Marg Helgenberger says that it was good to have Jorja Fox back for the episode because there had been an “overabundance of testosterone on the set.”

CSI: Vegas - Episode 9.01 For Warrick
Air Date: October 9, 2008

We have to wait until the season 9 premiere of CSI: Vegas to find out if Warrick lives or dies on CSI: Vegas. We do know that Sara (Jorja Fox) will be back for this episode, but we don’t know if it’s for his hospital vigil, his funeral, or his recovery. We do know that Gary Dourdan is leaving the show, but that’s all we’ve known. But today, CBS released another teeny, tiny tidbit of information about the premiere. Click on “Read More” for the scoop.

This week’s CSI: Vegas was not only funny and fascinating, it also had some pretty “hot” special effects! But have you ever wanted to know how they filmed a guy lighting on fire and still moving as the fire is extinguished? Well, CBS knew that and created this very cool behind the scenes video to show us.

Paul Guilfoyle, who plays Captain Brass and William Petersen, better known in the show as Gil Grissom, fill us in on some of the details as they talk to Julie Chen on the Early Show. The stunt man who actually did get ignited tells us and shows us just how he does it…and survives! Who knew he had to put on frozen underwear and a fake head? Great stuff:

William Petersen, Paul Guilfoyle

Episode 8.15 - The Theory of Everything
Air Date: May 1, 2008

This episode was good CSI fair, with some interesting twists, stupid suspects, and some classic smart talk –both kinds. Grissom and the team investigate a case involving a deer that has been shot with an crossbolt, potentially liquored up, and dressed up for dancing on the town.

Brass: Okay, so you got a DUI, resisting arrest, several new and unique wildlife violations. You’re in a truckload of trouble, Kyle.
Kyle: I… I… I found her like that.
Brass: In a cocktail dress?
Kyle: [laughs] I didn’t put no dress on her. I was taking her to the vet.
Brass: Sure it wasn’t a nightclub?

After Brass and Stokes question Kyle about the deer, and give him a breathalizer test, Kyle bolts out the door and down the corridor. After an officer had already sprayed Kyle –to no avail- with pepper spray, Brass, Stokes, and an officer come out of an elevator. Brass gives the order to “light him up”, and the officer shoots Kyle with his Taser. The charge, though, ignites the suspect, enveloping him in flames, and killing him.
