Some folks from the Mother Nature Network attended this past weekend’s 2010 Festival of Arts – Pageant of the Masters, and while they were there, they bumped into Marg, who was also attending the event. Here’s the write-up they did on her, which included a brief discussion about gardening, water conservation as well as a few details about the upcoming season of CSI.
“Marg Helgenberger, who we also bumped into at the event, is into gardening and water conservation. “I’ve got a drought-tolerant garden with succulents and a lot of gravel. It’s not that thirsty,” said the actress, now shooting season 11 of CSI, premiering Sept. 23 on CBS. This year, she’ll become romantically involved with one of the show’s recurring characters, Detective Vartann (Alex Carter). She’ll also take part in the multi-network Stand Up to Cancer telethon on Sept. 10.”

Thanks to AAM forum member, LilyStarbuck, a scan from the latest issue of the UK National Enquirer has been uploaded to our gallery. I don’t normally post tabloid ‘news’, but this one has some spoilers for CSI Season 11, especially as it applies to Catherine and Detective Vartann, so I thought it might interest folks. The rest of it appears to be taken piecemeal from the TV Guide interview Marg did in July where she discusses her intention to leave CSI at the end of Season 11. Click the scan’s thumbnail to view the full-sized image in the gallery. The text from the scan is printed below.

CBS issued their press release for the second episode of the new season today. I spy a ‘teen Catherine’ and a ‘young Sam Braun’ in the guest cast list, so I’m very excited to see this episode.
