CSI Files previously reported that Eddie Cibrian (CSI: Miami’s Jesse Cardoza) planned to take legal action against Life & Style Magazine over a fake story claiming that the actor cheated on his girlfriend, LeAnn Rimes, with Scheana Marie Jancan. Jancan claimed to be an ex-mistress of the Miami actor and said Cibrian would cheat on Rimes with other women. Life & Style ran a story in October that suggested Cibrian and Jancan were dating behind Rimes’ back.

It is now being reported that Cibrian has filed a $1 million lawsuit against the magazine for defamation. In the suit, lawyers claim the articles “falsely portray Eddie as being unfaithful to Ms. Rimes, as currently being in a romantic with Ms. Jancan, and as having abandoned his children.”

Earlier this year, CSI Files reported that the unsigned band Scars on 45 had their song “Beauty’s Running Wild” featured during the wedding between Danny Messer (Carmine Giovinazzo) and Lindsay Monroe (Anna Belknap) in the CSI: New York episode “Green Piece”. Thanks in part to the exposure on New York, the band has now been signed with Chop Shop, a label that is affiliated with Atlantic Records. They signed the deal this week and will fly out to Los Angeles, California to mix the debut album they recorded earlier this year.

“We are on a bit of a high at the moment,” said singer Danny Bemrose, who wrote the song. “It all kind of stems from the CSI thing. It has been in the pipeline and we have been in negotiation between lawyers – it’s more of a relief now it’s done and dusted.”

The 2009 International Emmy Awards will take place on Monday, November 23, and CSI: New York’s resident coroner, Robert Joy (Dr Sid Hammerback), will be a presenter at the event.

CSI: New York’s Hill Harper (Dr Sheldon Hawkes) will be the guest speaker at the 2010 Black Achievers celebration in Louisville, Kentucky on February 27.

The latest episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation split leadership with Grey’s Anatomy on Thursday, November 19. “Lover’s Lanes” was down from last week’s crossover episode, but it pulled in 14.95 million overall viewers to win the hour.
