Video:Grissom Proposes to Sara?!

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

csi_l.jpgThe spoiler first appeared on EW prior the Thursday’s show. Still, the promo of Grissom actually proposing to Sara at the end of the ep sent shock waves through the CSI fandom. Next week’s episdoe (The Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp) will indeed feature Gil asking Sara to marry him. Well..it’s more like he suggests they get married. CBS has actually released a clip of the proposal as well as a promo that is entirely based on the Grissom-Sara storyline. Looks like the TPTB have invested heavily in this sometimes controversial ship. They are even using fandom vernacular like GSR.

Much is unclear right now. Is this an actual proposal? If so, will Sara say yes? Has the fan effort to keep Jorja Fox on the show worked? Is Jorja even planning on leaving the show permanently?

We won’t know until the season plays out but something big is bound to be in the works. What? We’ll just have to stay tuned. The clip and promo are below.

Grissom Sara Promo Stills from ‘The Case of the Cross-Dressing Carp’

CSI Miami ‘Bang, Bang, Your Debt’ Promo Stills (6×4)

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

First glimpses of Speedle’s return dead ahead. It’s interesting that Delko has on the white and Speedle is dressed in black. What’s the symbolism there? I see Jake is back to battle for Calleigh’s affection. Well he doesn’t have to battle does he? It’s Delko that’s at a disadvantage considering that Jake and Calleigh went on vacation together. Enjoy.

Dress Like a CSI for Halloween Part One

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

Want to look like a genuine CSI for Halloween? This is the first part of our CSI Halloween Costume Guide. I know we are all busy so our first costume suggestion is easy peasy.

Generic Field CSI Costume

Our first option is a generic CSI Las Vegas style. These people actually look like they are going to work on a crime scene. First you’ll need your jumpsuit. Amazon has a CSI jumpsuit on sale for $36.99.

csi-jumpsuit.jpg

You can also snag a matching baseball cap from Amazon for only 6.99. I have no idea where to get those awful hats Grissom and Catherine have been wearing lately so don’t ask.

csihat.jpg

Next you’ll need your kit. Of course you can grab a generic tackle box but what fun would that be? I say spring for this baby over at e-Toys. It’s a little pricey at $59.99 but man it’s got everything to you need for a night of crime fighting including gloves which I suggest you us for your costume.

csifield-kit.jpg

Blood splatter on your gloves can be tricky and sticky but I think we should go for it. You can try this yummy recipe for your very own homemake blood.

  1. 1 c. Karo Syrup
  2. 1 Tbsp Water
  3. 2 Tbsp Red Food Coloring
  4. 1 tsp Yellow Food Coloring
  5. Mix together in a mixing bowl and you’re done. Try adding blue or yellow for a different shade.

Top off your costume with sensible black shoes or boots and you should be ready to go. This weekend I’ll unveil what you need to be a Sexy CSI.

Other costumes suggestions around 451 Press include a fun Battlestar Galactica Fleet costume at Watching BSG and a bevy of Tom Cruise looks at Tom Cruise Watch.

Gary Sinise Extends Contract

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

garysinise.jpgLooks like we can look forward to having Mac Taylor around through the 2010-2011 season.

Studio previously had an option that locked Sinise to “CSI: NY” though spring 2010. In exchange for adding another year to that option, CBS Par has bumped up Sinise’s salary to around $5 million per year. That put his per-episode fee in the low-$200,000s range.

Melina Kanakaredes is currently renegotiating her contract, but no deal has been made.

Jorja Fox an Marg Helgenberger Virtually Walk for Breast Cancer

Monday, October 8th, 2007

galtogal2007.jpg

Jorja and Marg have joined the Gal to Gal Virtual Walk to improve the lives of those diagnosed with Stage IV breast cancer. The Gal to Gal Virtual Walk was created by Jeanne Fitzmaurice, founder of Design-her-Gals(grooviest stationary ever!), in 2005 when she realized that most breast cancer money raised goes to research, prevention and treatment for earlier stages.

margwalk.jpg

To join the walk you design an avatar for a $3 donation, dress yourself, add a personal story and then watch your virtual self walk from Boston to San Francisco against a changing landscape.  There are currently over 4,800 people walking the 31-city virtual route. Organizers hope that number reaches 1 million walkers.

If you sign up for the walk please send me the link or screenshot of your avatar. I’d love to feature our readers.  Click on the screenshots of Marg and Jorja to get a better look at their virtual selves.

Video: Second Jorja Fox Flyover Campaign

Saturday, October 6th, 2007

jorjfoxflyover1042-copy.jpg

Thursday, Jorja Fox fans dispatched another flyover to the CSI offices at Universal City in California The wording was a bit different from the first which read “Keep Jorja On CBS”. This one actually read “Keep Jorja on CSI.” In addition to the flyovers, there has also been a letter writing that included dollars to “help” CBS pay for Jorja’s raise along with daily flower and plant deliveries to Jorja’s trailer.

The gifts prompted a thank you note from Jorja herself. In the note our favorite vegetarian said the flowers really brightened her week. Apparently she was (or is) filming a tough episode. I gotta tell you this ups the Jorja-Fox-awesome-points in my books. You can learn more about the Jorja Fox campaign HERE.

On to the the video.
