More Marg news to share. May marks National Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month and Marg will be serving as a celebrity champion and award presenter to actress Teri Garr, who has MS, at the May 18th gala event. As part of National Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, the Caregiving Club has posted an interview where Sherri Snelling spoke to Marg about her recent exit after 12 years as star of TV’s drama series, CSI, and how she is stepping into the spotlight as a champion for those living with MS, a disease which claimed her father’s life almost 25 years ago when Marg was just starting her acting career.
Here are some excerpts from Marg taken from the interview:
“My dad was a young man when he was diagnosed with MS – he was so full of life and to see this disease overpower him in such a short time was really sad and devastating.”
“While I am so proud of the progress made in breast cancer treatments and the small role I could play in helping people, multiple sclerosis just doesn’t get the kind of attention as other diseases so I want to shine a spotlight on this disease which is so devastating for families.”

Now that I’m home from work and can research properly here are more details about Marg’s upcoming turn as a celebrity judge on HGTV’s Design Star. I was hoping she might turn up on multiple episodes, but it looks like it’s a one-shot deal:
Episode Five: “Happy Birthday Hollywood Party”
Airs Tuesday, June 26, at 9 p.m. ET/PT
Judges: Marg Helgenberger, award-winning actress from CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,
Genevieve Gorder and Vern Yip
“To celebrate the 125th Anniversary of Hollywood, the finalists work with the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to create several lounges for a star-studded party. Each lounge must be inspired by famous design styles of the past, such as Hollywood regency and art deco. For this
week’s on-camera challenge, the finalists’ public-speaking skills are put to the test as each contestant will present their design concept to the party attendees. As one of the newest recipients of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star and Emmy award-winning actress Marg Helgenberger joins Genevieve Gorder and Vern Yip to see which lounge shines the brightest.”
There’s also a short video clip on the HGTV website. You can catch a quick glimpse of Marg, but she doesn’t say anything. Watch here.
Celebrity judges, showbiz-inspired design challenges and an impressive exhibition of creativity await viewers of the returning HGTV Design Star. Premiering on Tuesday, May 29, at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the series’ seventh season highlights talented interior designers, stylists and artists as they compete to win their own HGTV show. David Bromstad, the network’s charismatic and original winner of the popular reality competition, is back for a second season as mentor–this time also assuming the host role. Each week, HGTV designers Genevieve Gorder and Vern Yip are joined by special guest judges including Kardashian mom Kris Jenner; entrepreneur and TV personality Daisy Fuentes; CSI: Crime Scene Investigation star and Emmy award-winning actress Marg Helgenberger; Entertainment Tonight host Mark Steines; and multi-platinum recording artist and home remodeling expert, DIY Network’s Vanilla Ice. The series also features appearances by other HGTV hosts, including Sabrina Soto (The High Low Project), John Colaneri and Anthony Carrino (Kitchen Cousins), and reigning HGTV Design Star, Meg Caswell (Great Rooms).

I have just updated the gallery with some scans of an interview that Lifetime Magazine did with Marg for their premiere issue back in 2003. I hadn’t been able to locate a copy of this magazine for years but finally got lucky at a recent community yard sale. I don’t normally even do yard sales, so I think it was fate that I did this time and found this goodie for my collection. As always, click the thumbnails to view the larger versions of the scans. Enjoy!
Looks like Marg is still enjoying her downtime since leaving CSI. The paparazzi caught she and her boyfriend Alan out enjoying a bicycle ride in Venice yesterday. Completely random but I really love her bike helmet! Click the thumbnail to view the photos in the gallery.

After over a month with no news to report, we finally have a little something to share with fellow fans. Marg and her boyfriend Alan were spotted last night at the Los Angeles premiere of the film ‘Marley’, which took place at the Arclight Theater in Hollywood. I’ve posted a few photos to the gallery for now, but am enjoying a little post-tax season day off today and will do a more complete update afterwards. Enjoy and thanks for your patience!
