Take a peek behind the scenes as CSI: Miami honours a fallen teammate. (Spoilers and embedded video after the jump!)

As CSI Files previously reported, Miami will lose one of its own when season seven gets underway. The end of the episode will feature a tribute to Jesse Cardoza (Eddie Cibrian). “We are out by the lovely Pacific Ocean, pretending it is the Atlantic Ocean, playing basketball in honour of our fallen hero,” Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne) told Entertainment Tonight.

“When a cop dies, it is a heavy blow whether you knew him or didn’t know him, worked with him or didn’t work with him,” Adam Rodriguez (Eric Delko) said. “Anytime you do a job where your life is on the line every day and somebody pays the ultimate price, it is a heavy thing to deal with.”

Leading man David Caruso (Horatio Caine) agreed. “It is part of the job. You always feel you are prepared [for the loss], but then it is a real shock,” he explained. “The thing that matters about the shot that we take at the end, is that the scene it has to validate his life.”

You can watch the video, which offers a glimpse of the tribute game, embedded below:

As CSI Files previously reported, CSI: Miami‘s Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne) is expecting her first child later this year with musician Paul Bryan. The actress is currently sporting a prominent baby bump, which leads people to wonder if she might be having twins. “[W]hen I say no they’re like, ‘Are you sure?’” Procter told E! Online with a laugh. “The other one I get is, ‘Is your due date wrong?’ But no, I still have three months.” When it comes to pregnancy food cravings, Procter isn’t interested in the old pickles and ice cream combination. “Fruit,” she revealed. “Lots and lots of fruit. Lemon ice cream, lemonade, lemon anything.”

Hill Harper (Dr Sheldon Hawkes) posted another gruesome picture from the morgue of CSI: New York. Set designer Will Batts posted a picture of a balcony that will appear in an upcoming CSI: NY episode.

CBS has launched a new website called The Art of TV on DVD, which offers previews of the special features available on the upcoming DVD box sets for 18 different series. The section for each member of the CSI franchise includes clips from the following featurettes:

• CSI: Crime Scene Investigation: “Killer Tales: Season 10 of CSI” and “Lab Rats: the Saga Continues”
  

• CSI: Miami: “Twist of Eight: Season in Review” and “Blast to the Past”
  

• CSI: New York: “Seeing Stars” and “A Killer House”
  

The site also includes detailed descriptions of the special features available on each box set, the release date and a link to pre-order the DVDs.

CSI Files previously reported that Emily Procter (Calleigh Duquesne) is expecting her first child with musician Paul Bryan, and the pregnancy will not be written into the upcoming ninth season of CSI: Miami. In order to cover up the actress’s baby bump, Procter is “spending a lot of time sitting down” while the show films.

Offscreen, Procter is thinking about the environment as she plans for the baby’s arrival. “[I'm] not really buying much for the baby,” the actress told Mother Nature Network. “I’m using primarily hand-me-downs and making a changing table out of a table I already had. I’m trying not to use as much, being really conscious of the amount of garbage I’m going to make.”

The addition of veteran actress Sela Ward to the cast of CSI: New York is something fresh for the actress—and hopefully a jolt of new life for the series.

As CSI Files previously reported, Ward is joining the cast as former FBI agent Jo Danville. The character joins the New York Crime Lab after Stella Bonasera (Melina Kanakaredes) leaves to run her own crime lab in New Orleans, Louisiana. Being a part of the CSI franchise is a different experience for Ward. “It’s going to be a whole new world,” the actress told Entertainment Weekly. “On Sisters, I was always in the kitchen, saying things like ‘Could you pass the cookies, Georgie?’ Now I’m going to be doing this and…oh my. I’m just stepping into a room I’ve never been in.”

Although Ward is taking Kanakaredes’ place in the cast, executive producer Pam Veasey was adamant that the actress (and the character she plays) is not simply a replacement. “We wanted to make this a unique character for Sela,” Veasey explained. “It was all so unexpected but invigorating. She’ll help revitalize and jump-start our show. We get to reintroduce it and maybe attract new audiences, now that it’s on Friday.”

With Steve Carell's impending departure and the ongoing search for a new boss , it's clear that the seventh season of The Office will be a franchise-defining period for the mockumentary series.

Today's lead question was crafted so nicely that I decided to forgo the usual introduction to the column and let reader Melanie Mackin do it for me: "I've been watching too many CSI television shows, because here's the problem:" The crime: Sopping wet carpet.

Before summer began, no one had heard of Montana Fishburne. But the daughter of Oscar-nominated actor Laurence Fishburne, now the main guy on "CSI," was eager to make a name for herself.

Aftermath of a tragedy: In the season premiere, Derek is back at work treating a patient and feeling invincible on Grey's Anatomy .

Having no prior exposure to the world of Yuna Kagesaki's shojo comedy horror manga, Chibi Vampire , I initially wasn't sure how newbie friendly Tokyopop's new short story collection, Chibi Vampire: Airmail , would be.

Millions of people catch Desperate Housewives as it serves immense fun and entertainment to its admirers.

In at least one respect, this year's Emmys were much more colorful than last year's. CBS' broadcast of the 2009 Primetime Emmy Awards came under fire due to what critics called a noticeable lack of cultural diversity.

I've always wondered why television networks don't make better use of crossover appearances.

A/N 1: Okay - READ ME - very important!  We hope that these stories will tie into the episodes of S.11...in an attempt to keep Gil/Nick up and running alongside everyone, and everything, else in S.11.  From an idea by gotstoked .

So, for the sake of these fics...Gil has followed Sara back to Las Vegas in the aftermath of last season's finale.  Nick is shot and Ray is stabbed, so Gil comes back to moonlight with the CSI's. 

In our AU version - Nick and Gil have a history -and this is the backstory. It will be finished and posted in the next few days!  It will then unfold over the coming months in line with the episodes (we hope)!   What we do want to say is that because of how we’ve written and posted, we had (at first) no idea of what we were each going to write and we noticed that some plot (!?) inconsistencies crept in...we’ve addressed some of them so please don’t pay too much attention!  Enjoy the ride!
