Yesterday CSI star Marg Helgenberger, 50, filed for divorce from Alan Rosenberg, 58, her husband of 19 years. Rosenberg, also an actor, is currently the president of the Screen Actors Guild. The two met in 1984 and married in 1989. They separated in December 2008. They have one son, who is 18 years old.

Helgenberger cites irreconcilable differences in her filing. She is asking for spousal support and petitioning the court to deny him the same. I don’t know anything about the couple’s entire finances but it does strike me as strange that a star on TV’s number one drama is asking for spousal support. Being the SAG president must be a sweet gig.

Speaking of SAG, does anyone think Helgenberger and Rosenberg might have split over his zeal in pushing for an actors’ strike during a severe economic recession? The timing seems suspect, is all I’m saying.

After a two week hiatus for NCAA basketball, CSI returns with new episodes starting April 2. Let’s hope Catherine Willows doesn’t investigate a case where a middle-aged woman is suspected of murdering her estranged husband.
