Eddie Cibrian Cut from CSI: Miami

Here’s some not-so-celebratory news for recent birthday boy Eddie Cibrian.

The actor, who turned 37 on Wednesday, has been axed from CSI: Miami, a year after he joined the cast of the hit CBS show, according to reports.

Cibrian’s contract has reportedly not been picked up and sources say original cast member Adam Rodriguez — who, like Cibrian, had a stint on Ugly Betty — is returning full-time this fall, EW.com reports. CBS declined to comment.

The good news for Cibrian? Leaving Miami-Dade means he’ll have plenty of time for other TV projects.

As his girlfriend, singer LeAnn Rimes, Tweeted Thursday, “Sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together. Every story has and end, but in life every end is just a new beginning.”

Perhaps the couple should do another Lifetime movie?

Fall TV Premieres: Monday Night

Today marks the official start of the 2009/2010 Fall TV Season, even though we have seen several shows premiere throughout the networks since August.

Jones) starting to drive and date.

Eddie Cibrian is Committed to Being a Devoted Father

After filing for divorce from his wife, actor Eddie Cibrian – who is now romancing country star LeAnn Rimes – is asking for privacy and saying he remains committed to his young sons.

"From the outset I have made a conscious decision to try and keep this matter private and not discuss it in the press. While my wife and I are dissolving our marriage, we will work together to parent our two children," he says of sons Mason, 6, and Jake, 2. "I love my boys very much. I want only the best for them and am committed to being a devoted father."

The CSI: Miami actor's statement, issued Thursday, comes after Rimes and Cibrian went public with recent dates, including a game of golf and a Kings of Leon concert. Earlier this week Cibrian filed for divorce from former model Brandi Glanville, citing irreconcilable differences.

Glanville has talked about her heartbreak over the demise of her marriage and said she sensed the attraction between her husband and Rimes when they filmed their Lifetime movie Northern Lights last fall. But Cibrian insists: "I will continue to be respectful and sensitive to this issue by not doing interviews about this ongoing private matter. I wish everyone would do the same."

Eddie Cibrian Addresses Personal Drama

It hasn't been easy being Eddie Cibrian: In March, the actor landed at the center of a scandal when he was accused of having an affair with LeAnn Rimes (which he denied). And in July, his manager revealed the actor and his wife had separated.

Now, Cibrian, 36, who was seen spending time with Rimes, 26, last month, is speaking out about his personal drama.

"I don't know how people perceive me," he tells Entertainment Tonight in a recent interview. "What I do know is when you reach a certain point in your career you're placed in this unfair fishbowl."

The newest CSI: Miami cast member, adds, "Things unfortunately get magnified. We are all human, we are all not perfect."

Cibrian does not discuss his relationship with Rimes (who is separated from husband Dean Sheremet), but references his two kids, Mason, 5, and Jake, 2, as well as his estranged wife, Brandi Glanville, who has spoken openly about her husband's alleged infidelity.

"The fact is I love my family dearly, and I'm a great father," he says. "It just saddens me that this is hurtful and being played out publicly."

Cheryl Ladd Guest Stars on CSI: Miami

Cheryl Ladd has signed on for an episode of CBS's CSI: Miami in which she will play a woman who lives by "The Cougar Code."

Shooting her part this week, Ladd plays a wealthy wife who acts the charitable matron on the outside but dates much younger men in her private life. Joining her as a guest star in the episode, which will air in October, will be singer and actress Tia Carrere, 42, who competed in the second season of Dancing With the Stars in 2006.

Ladd, 58, famously embodied Kris Munroe, sister to Farrah Fawcett's Jill Munroe, in Charlie's Angels.
