Dawson's Creek Cast Member to Join CSI: NY

Dawson's Creek cast member Kerr Smith has signed on to join the cast of CSI: NY this Fall as both an expert in forged documents and a new love interest for Melina Kanakaredes' character, Stella. So far, I can't picture the two of them together, but I'm sure they'll make it work.

The show's executive producer Pam Veasey said, "Well, he pretends to be an expert in forged documents. He has a mysterious background that we are slowly developing. He's a love interest who has an ulterior motive."

Smith was also on the short-lived show Justice.

Scott Wolf, Marisa Tomei and James Van Der Beek - What Do They Have in Common?

They're all heading back to work. Former Dawson's Creek star James Van Der Beek is going to be in ABC's new show, Football Wives. The Nine's Scott Wolf is going to play head litigator in a new comedy for ABC and Marisa has inked a deal with CBS as a novelist in The Rich Inner Life of Penelope Cloud.

Tom & Katie Party Hardy

Tom Cruise was a presenter at the Oscars last night, but I didn't see his wife, actress Katie Holmes. They did appear together, however, at Vanity Fair's post-Oscars bash. For once, Tom looked debonair and quite cleaned up, much like his Top Gun days. Hair finally trimmed, he looked quite handsome. And Katie? Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Marriage has obviously done wonders for her fashion, which has come a long way since her days on the WB teen angst drama, Dawson's Creek.

Another Celebrity Wedding

Although we are literally knee-deep in celebrity gossip, eating, breathing, sleeping it every waking minute of the day, every once in awhile, there's a celebrity wedding and Madison and I will look at each other, scratch our heads and go, "Who?" Such is the case with this one. People Magazine is covering it, so they must be celebs, but they're new to us.

Soccer star Landon Donovan (who has been to the World Cup twice) married actress Bianca Kajlich on New Year's Eve at the Bacara Resort in California. Bianca stars on the comedy, Rules of Engagement, and has also appeared on Dawson's Creek and Boston Public (both shows I watched religiously, but I don't remember her).

Their wedding included In-N-Out Burgers and karaoke for everyone, reminiscient of a certain Britney Spears wedding, I may add. Bianca told People Magazine, "Words couldn't possibly do the night justice. It really is best remembered in our hearts."
