CSI Triva tidbit

Veritas means truth is honesty and truthfulness in Latin.

In Roman mythology, Veritas (meaning truth) was the goddess of truth, a daughter of Saturn and the mother of Virtue. It was believed that she hid in the bottom of a holy well because she was so elusive. Her image is shown as a young virgin dressed in white.

Jorja Fox recently attended the launch of the new book Thanking The Monkey: Rethinking the way we treat animals. Jorja, a longtime vegetarian and animal right’s activist chats with Access Hollywood about recycling and going green. (The ever cute Emily Deschanel from Bones makes and appearance as well.)

The book itself looks to be a fun primer on being kinder to our furry friends:

Thanking the Monkey is light on lectures meant to make you feel guilty if you’re not a leather-eschewing vegan. It lets you have fun as you learn about Paul McCartney’s love of lambs and why Prince won’t wear wool. You’ll meet Fall Out Boy’s Andy Hurley and Pete Wentz—and their favorite traveling companion, Hemingway, Pete’s dog. You’ll read why Natalie Portman, Alicia Silverstone, and so many of those skinny but not bitchy actresses won’t eat or wear animals. And you’ll laugh over dozens of cartoons from Dan Piraro’s Bizzaro to other animal-friendly comics.

Marg recently did her annual duty for What a Pair benefit at the Orpheus Theater in Los Angelas. What a Pair features celebrity duets and benefits breast cancer research. This is a yearly thing for Marg. One year she even sang with Jorja. You can still support the effort by buying a t-shirt or donating at the What A Pair site. This year she preformed again with Diana Harris,

I know we’ve all seen this a million times but it’s always fun to revisit this montage of David Caruso one liners since we are on Miami hiatus. You can’t beat the David Caruso wonderful cheesiness with a stick.

Note: Sorry I haven’t posted in a while. Life has gotten in the way. Hurrah for being back on track. On to some sobering news.

Gary Dourdan plead guilty today to possession of coke and ecstasy. Heroin charges were dismissed. In exchange for the no jail time, Gary agreed to attend a 16-class treatment program. The program isn’t considered rehab. According to TMZ, Gary’s already signed up for the program. Good for him.

Gary’s charges stem from an April 28th incident in Palm Springs where he was found sleeping in his car on the wrong side of of the road. Police described Gary as disoriented and confused. He was booked on suspicion of heroin, cocaine, ecstasy and prescription drugs possession. God’s speed to Gary. Hopefull this starts a better chapter in his life.

David Caruso and Emily Procter talk about the season finale. Going Ballistic airs on Monday, May 19.

Eric and Jorja’s PSA is part of the 30 Days for a Million Voices campaign. The US Campaign for Burma unveils a spot every day(usually they are a bit early) and encourages people to sign up and support the Burmese people. Here’s bit about struggle.

The people of the Southeast Asian country of Burma are locked in one of the world’s great freedom struggles. The country’s military rulers, the State Peace and Development Council, have run the country with an iron fist for the past 19 years, after they assumed power from a 26-year socialist dictatorship. In 1988, students, professionals, and others launched a nationwide uprising aimed at bringing an end to authoritarian rule during which millions of people courageously marched on the streets, calling for freedom and democracy.

The military responded by gunning down thousands of demonstrators and imprisoning thousands more in one of Southeast Asia’s most bloody episodes in recent history. The leader of the demonstrations, Min Ko Naing (pronounced Min Ko Nine), has been held behind bars ever since, where approximately 1,400 political prisoners remain. The most recognizable face of Burma, 1991 Nobel Peace Prize recipient Daw Aung San Suu Kyi (pronounced Daw Aung Sawn Sue Chee), has been in and out of house arrest and prison since 1988. Presently, she is held under house arrest.
