Watching CSI

Update: You can learn more about Jorja’s Season 7 contract status HERE.

Alright so I think we are all caught up. You have all the stories, promos, pics and details that I have up to this point. Now let’s get to some serious discussion. Don’t worry. I’ll still be your source for all kinds of juicy CSI dirt.

The biggest news in CSI world right now is the possibility of Jorja Fox Leaving. It’s all over the net including

Here
Here
And Here

Everyone seems to have an opinion about whether Jorja has put her Johnette Hancock on the dotted line.

Living Dolls(7×24) may or may not be a cliff hanger. Only you spoiler people will know although the Post article says it will be open ended….whatever that means CSI doesn’t have a history of cliffhangers but there’s a first time for everything and Grey’s Anatomy has proved to be stiff competition and they might need a boost.

CBS refuses to comment.

Jorja’s people say they are in negotiations.

In this interview Jorja said that as far she knew everyone would be back.

Oh yeah and we also know that Grissom has to come clean about he (or is it him)and Sara during the season finale because Sara goes missing.

There are also some some telling Grissom Sara scenes ahead according to the Leapin Lizard promo pics. (See below)

What does it mean?
It means that Jorja is either in great position of strength or terrible place of weakness. I prefer to go with the later. When Season 7 started William Petersen was our real concern. We thought he wasn’t coming back and most rabid fans weren’t happy but they understood he wanted to pursue other things.

Shock of shocks he renewed and Jorja seemed to be the hold out. Or is she?

Maybe it’s all good and they are trying to sucker us in for the finale. Guess what PTB? It’s so working. Most people are up in arms that Jorja might not come. There are those few wet blankets that would be happy to see her go. I’ve never been clear why Jorja haters continue watching the show in the first place.

My general take is that Jorja will be back next season. What’s yours?

Nifty interview about Jorja and one of her dogs. As many of you noted this is William Petersen’s boxer mix in the Grissom Sara promo. Thanks to the people at Celebrity Dog Watcher.

Who knew he was Rasta? I did know he was high during last summer’s press junket. From Philly.com:

Gary at the Grammys

West Philly native Gary Dourdan, of “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” confesses his love for weed to Philadelphia magazine’s Rich Rys in May’s Exit Interview. Dourdan says he has an appreciation for the herb because he’s a Rastafari. “Everyone I know smokes weed,” he says, adding that “Everybody thinks I’m the guy who knows where the good weed is.” Do you? Rys asks. “I actually do,” says Dourdan.

He’s co-starring with Vincent D’Onofrio. Lots of hair products will be needed on this film. Vin’s the dad. He’s the son. I believe they’ll start shooting in May with a 2008 release date.

TITLE: THE NARROWS, Feature Film.
EXEC PROD: Michael Nozik
PROD: Leslie Urdang, Ami Armstrong
DIR: Francois Velle
SCR: Tatiana Blackington.
Shoot Dates: April, 2007 (in New York).

STORY: The film is about 21 years old Mike Manadoro struggling to find his place within two worlds; the life he wants, as an aspiring photographer and promising NYU student, and the life his father seems to want for him: making fast money running dangerous, mysterious errands for the neighborhood mobster.

Marg Helgenberger(say that three times really fast) is co-staring as Kevin Costner’s wife in summer flick called Mr. Brooks. Here’s the IMDB blurb:

Consider Mr. Brooks. A successful businessman, a generous philanthropist, a loving father and devoted husband. Seemingly, he’s perfect. But Mr. Brooks has a secret — he is an insatiable serial killer, so lethally clever that no one has ever suspected him — until now. Earl Brooks (Kevin Costner) is a man who has managed to keep his two incompatible worlds from intersecting by controlling his cunning, wicked alter ego, Marshall (William Hurt), whom he blames for his wrongdoings. But now, as Mr. Brooks succumbs to one last murderous urge, an amateur photographer (Dane Cook) witnesses the crime. Suddenly Brooks finds himself entangled in the dark agenda of an opportunistic bystander, as well as hunted by the unorthodox and tenacious detective Tracy Atwood (Demi Moore). Can Mr. Brooks outsmart his adversaries and conceal his shocking double life from his wife (Marg Helgenberger) and daughter (Danielle Panabaker) or will someone expose his crimes and his identity once and for all?

A Summer flick with an Keven Costner and Demi Moore. Go Marg. I love thrillers so I’ll definitely be there. The trailer looks great.
