CSI: Miami actor Eddie Cibrian (Jesse Cardoza) is planning to take legal action against Life & Style Magazine for a false story they printed alleging that Cibrian cheated on girlfriend LeAnn Rimes. “Unfortunately Life & Style Magazine has chosen to go out with a story filled with inaccuracies and deceitful lies, presumably to titillate sales, but clearly resulting in harm to Eddie Cibrian and others,” the actor’s representative said in a statement. “This is irresponsible and wreckless journalism. Eddie has met with his attorneys and will be filing a suit for libel and other actionable grounds shortly. It’s a shame that Life & Style resorted to a story of this nature and they will regretfully now have to face scrutiny of untruthful reporting in a court proceeding.”

American Superstar and Fashion Wire Daily have posted pictures of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation actress Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows) at the red carpet premiere of the new post-apocalyptic film The Road at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre on November 4 in Hollywood, California. The film stars Viggo Mortensen and Charlize Theron and is based on the 2006 Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. One of the red carpet photos features Alan Rosenberg. As CSI Files previously reported, Helgenberger filed for divorce from Rosenberg in March after 19 years of marriage.

CBS has ordered additional episodes of all three members of the CSI franchise. This brings CSI: Miami up to 24 episodes, and CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and CSI: New York now have 23 planned episodes at this point. This news comes as the network announces that they are lowering the season order for Friday night series Numb3rs from 22 to 16 episodes. There is a rumour that Flashpoint will take the 10:00pm timeslot on Fridays starting in February, but this has not been confirmed.
