First William Petersen, now Gary Sinise…sort of.    Steppenwolf  Theatre  co-ounder Gary Sinise returns to Chicago with his Lt. Dan Band to preform at the theaters “GALA 2009: A Celebration of the Season of the Imagination, on April 18.”

Guests can expect a sneak peak of the 2009 season.  “The evening kicks off with a unique performance inspired by Steppenwolf’s production of The Tempest, directed by ensemble member Tina Landau and featuring Steppenwolf ensemble members,” said a theater press release.

Gary’s band, which regularly preforms for troops,can expect “700 of Chicago’s corporate, civic and cultural leaders.”

I’m sure we can expect William Petersen to show for the gala.   He’ll play Hamm in the Endgame during the 2009-2010 season.   I hope his return to theater won’t  preclude him from popping into CSI every now and them. It seems that CSI fans have a lot to thank Stepponwolf  Theatre for.

Simpson-Wentz plays Lila Wickfield, “a 21-year-old hotel cleaning lady who is working her way through community college, and Wentz will play her boyfriend, Chester Bryon.”

To my knowledge this will be Pete’s first major acting gig. CSI is really working the Gen Y Taylor Swift is set to make a guest appearance on a the original series.   CSI:NY will be Ashlee’s first major role since the birth of the couple’s daughter Bronx Mowgli Wentz in November.

Melina Kanakaredes hung out the the Golden Globe Style Lounge. Celebs usually pick up some sweet swag at these pre-awards-show lounges and parties. Looks like Melina is no exception. She is signing a bottle of Little Black Dress wine which usually means a bottle will be auctioned off for charity. Stay tuned.  I’ll alert if it goes up for auction.

Well I’m back after a winter hiatus.  Luckily there wasn’t much CSI news while I was gone.  Hopefully you all had a happy and healthy holiday season.

On to the latest news. Hill Harper is set to anchor presidential inaugural coverage. The cable network plans extensive coverage of the 44th presidential inauguration. In addition to Hill, the broadcast will be anchored by “former CBS The Early Show host Rene Syler and Jeff Johnson, who hosts a weekly BET news program.”

“This is an opportunity to be the best we can be,” BET’s programming head Stephen Hill. “We see this as an opportunity to inform and inspire our audience, which is what we always try to do.” The network will focus on those who’ve traveled from across the country to attend.

I wonder how much time will spend the air? He was/is a huge Obama supporter so I’m sure he’s been invited to some of the festivities.
