Rihanna: Out in NYC
Rihanna: Out in NYC
Following an amazing showing at the 2008 MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto, Canada (where she won two awards and performed her new hit Take a Bow) Rihanna was spotted in New York City celebrating.
The “Umbrella” songstress looked very happy-go-lucky as she grabbed a celebratory dinner with some of her close friends at Da Silvano restaurant in Manhattan.
And she looked cute and colorful in a sexy green tank top and a floral print miniskirt with plenty of chunky jewelry and a pair of brown leather strappy sandals.
Now that she’s conquered the pop music world, it seems Rihanna is interested in expanding her horizons into the world of acting. According to press she’s prepping up for her big screen debut in “Mama Black Widow,” an adaptation of the 1969 novel by Robert Beck.
Why Jorja Fox is leaving CSI
It’s no secret that Jorja Fox, who plays Sara Sidle on CSI, is leaving the show this season. She has a contentious history with the show and was even temporarily fired during contract negotiations in 2004. But, why is she leaving?
Fox gave a quick interview to EW.com, explaining her departure. She’s leaving to broaden her horizons. The actress has been on CSI for seven years and is looking for something else to do. She says, “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.”
In past posts I’ve written about CSI, a lot of commenters have bagged on the Sara Sidle character and wished she would go. The sexual relationship between her and Grissom makes a lot of people’s skin crawl (mine included). Personally, I would’ve liked to have seen a more beloved character leave, but this is good too. CSI definitely needs a shake-up since it has had the same cast for all eight seasons.
Jorja Fox has five more episodes this season, with her final episode in mid-November during ratings. Producer Carol Mendelsohn says that those episodes will focus on Sara and build up to her departure. The build-up begins tonight, with a marriage proposal from Grissom.
