Jorja Fox leaving CSI

“I will remember you….will you remember me…” is the beginning of a sad preview to tonight’s episode of CSI. While the Sarah McLachlan song is a favorite, it also reminds me about the moment when TV fans will see Jorja Fox leaving CSI.

It seems to be a fitting tune for this episode, titled Goodbye & Good Luck. Jorja Fox plays Sara Sidle on CSI. Since it was not until late last year that I started to pay more attention to CSI, I am not ready for her departure. Her character is interesting to me and will definitely be missed. Members of CSI files have posted comments left be other fans expressing how Jorja Fox leaving CSI will affect the show. One of the fans (named Joe) stated that CSI will not be the same without Jorja Fox and the character that she played. This fan continued to say that her talent makes it easy for viewers to sympathize with her, as Sara Sidle is most complex and emotive character on the show. He also revealed a fear that CSI will lose its heart and become a cold rock of boredom and mediocrity without Sara Sidle.

While I have not seen most episodes of CSI, I can understand how people could become attached to Sara Sidle and enjoy Jorja Fox playing that character. I found out about her departure back when they were trying to find the miniature killer. While Jorja Fox’s reason to leave the show is valid, I still think that it is too soon. The TV squad posted on an interview where the actress said she wanted to pursue other opportunities. Now, some may not understand this reason, being that CSI is a hot show that is doing well. Why would someone want to leave a great TV show? Well, the same post from TV Squad quoted Jorja Fox saying "If I thought the show was on its last legs, I would've tried harder to stay the course. But I feel like it's going to be around for a while, so I don't want some of those dreams to pass me by." That makes sense to me.

All actresses (or anyone for that matter) who want more variety in their roles may not want to do the same thing forever. Jessica Biel left 7th Heaven when the show was in its prime. Still, she did her thing and the departure ended up working out well for her career. We may see Jorja Fox in another TV show that is not like CSI at all, or in a blockbuster movie one day. When that time comes, I am optimistic about the level of support that she will have from her fans. I for one, am willing to be supportive. Jorja Fox can do great things.

Still, what are we going to do without Sara Sidle? Aside from her character alone, I was happy about the relationship between her and Gil Grissom (Played by William Peterson). Sure, workplace romances are not that hot because they can cause lots of trouble. However, there was something about them together that made me believe that two people could truly be happy with each other. That belief was taken to a higher level when he proposed marriage and she accepted. It does not seem like that marriage is going to happen or even that their relationship will last based on the preview for tonight’s episode of CSI.

This is all just too sad. I will be tuning in when CSI airs tonight. It appears to be the ending of one of the shows beloved characters and actresses. However, this will not be the end of my keenness for Sara Sidle and the actress Jorja Fox. As the song goes, I will remember you. Will you remember me? Farewell to Jorja Fox.

CSI airs tonight on CBS at 9:00pm.

Ellen Pompeo Married in City Hall


Hollywood actress Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, music producer Chris Ivery just got married. It is official guys(and gals), she is taken.

The Star of Grey's Anatomy married her boyfriend of three years at City Hall in Manhattan, NY last week. The city's mayor was a witness.

This non-traditional ceremony may seem a bit abnormal for the average celebrity. Usually the stars go all out for their weddings, inviting their friends, family, other celebrities that they like and stars that they dislike just possibly just to rub it in that they are so fabulous. A wedding at city hall is so informal, but it may be the best way to tie the knot for some couples. Just think of all the money that can be saved. It is interesting that only a few city officials witnessed Ellen Pompeo getting married instead of at least one close friend or family member. The same goes for her new husband, Chris Ivery. Where are the guests? That is what some fans may be thinking.

No matter what they chose to do and how people may feel about it, the wedding of Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery should make a lot of fans realize that it may not always be important to have everyone and their mother come to congratulate a couple as they take vows in expensive attire, in an expensive venue and eat small portions of expensive food. This wedding is great because it is not about celebrity and not about other people. It is about a couple who loves each other and wants to be together. This wedding was about them, and that tops most high-end celebrity weddings that end in divorce a few months later.

On another note, I wonder how old Chris Ivery is. Ellen Pompeo is 38 and she looks great. Chris Ivery looks good and fit, but he appears to have a lot of grey hair. Could it be that Ellen Pompeo floats more toward the geriatric crowd? Who knows. Still, they seem like a great couple. Congrats to Ellen Pompeo and Chris Ivery on the union that was made recently. May they have a long and happy marriage. No, for real, PLEASE do not get divorced. We do not need another Hollywood breakup.

Free Advice for Lindsay Lohan

Even if she may not be taken seriously now or liked much because of her trouble with the law and drinking issues, Lindsay Lohan can still become one of the greatest young stars.

Start a Blog
Tons of media outlets are covering Lindsay Lohan and her constant drunken antics. Many public citizens have negative thoughts about the Hollywood actress. One of the best things that Lindsay Lohan could do for herself is start an online blog. This will give fans a chance to find out true information from the source of these constant rehab visits and trouble with the law. Britney Spears has reportedly posted an online journal that speaks about her recent behavior.

While Britney’s meltdowns have caused a lot of criticism regarding her parenting skills and career, a personal journal helps her maintain a loyal fan base. Lindsay Lohan could take some notes from Britney Spears’s negative publicity and try to adjust her own public image. By starting a personal blog of her own, Lindsay Lohan could gain more understanding and possible support from the public. The blog would certainly attract millions of users since she is a very popular celebrity. In time, Lindsay Lohan may even become sober from being too busy writing blog posts to drink.

Open a Nightclub
This may be a long shot when it comes to attracting visitors, but Lindsay Lohan could run a great nightclub. The actress already parties and drinks heavily. Why give all of your money to someone else’s establishment? Based on her behavior, alcohol and partying is more important than winning Oscars and promoting movies. Therefore, it would be great for Lindsay Lohan to have a second career plan if her acting gigs dwindle. Fellow celebrities will more than likely attend the nightclub, making it good for business. The fans and enemies of those celebrities will want to be in the same nightclub, so there is a money-making opportunity available for Lindsay Lohan.


Invest in a Beer Company

If Lindsay Lohan is going to continue to drink heavily, she might as well invest in a good alcohol company. Many people who have problems with alcohol spend most of their money on drinks. When she is old and no one wants to cast her in a movie, Lindsay Lohan should have a decent cushion to pay for her wild and luxurious lifestyle. There is no need to let liquor companies have all of your money. This is especially true if you need it for bail money and additional car insurance.

Become a Spokesperson for Charity
No matter how many times Lindsay Lohan goes to rehab, it seems that those visits do not benefit her. The public seems to have given up on her where the alcohol problem is concerned. However, Lindsay Lohan could still fully recover from her alcoholism eventually. One of the best things that she could do when that happens is become a spokesperson for charity. By doing public service announcements to deter teens from drinking and riving, Lindsay Lohan could put a positive spin on the public’s perception of her. Since she would be sober in this case, her messages against underage drinking are more effective.
