• As CSI Files previously reported, legendary actor Ed Asner is on the Emmy nomination ballot for his guest stint in the New York episode "Yahrzeit". The actor told The Hollywood Reporter why he chose the role: "I spent a week rehearsing staged readings at a Jewish community center where the amount of pay is bupkis. If I'm willing to do that for a nice piece of writing, I'm certainly willing to do it for a TV script that knocks your socks off."

• Petersen attended the Chicago premiere of Public Enemies, the new film about legendary bank robber John Dillinger. The actor said the key to taking down Chicago crooks is to "Shoot 'em. That way you don't have to try 'em."

• Forbes made a list of the top 10 potential superstars who scored high in audience likeability but low in awareness. Six of the 10 people are from broadcast network series. These actors are not familiar to the average television viewer, but they are popular among viewers of their individual series. CSI: NY's Hill Harper (Dr Sheldon Hawkes) and Miami's Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne) made the list, along with three other CBS actors: Michael Weatherly and Cote dePablo from NCIS, and Cobie Smulders from How I Met Your Mother.

• Robert Hallowell will be the new Head Hairdresser for the upcoming season of CSI. Hallowell will be designing hairstyles for the cast, and he will also work with some of the stars. The hairdresser said Marg Helgenberger (Catherine Willows) is "gorgeous with perfect alabaster skin and stunning cinnamon red hair." (Source: Hair Boutique.
