Marilyn Manson's Ex-Wife Dita Von Teese Guest Stars on CSI
by Richard Sharp
Dita Von Teese, retro pin-up model, burlesque dancer and ex-wife of Marilyn Manson, guest starred in last night's episode episode of "CSI."
According to TV Guide, "We meet her character — Ellen Whitebridge, a shy schoolteacher with a fascination for forensics — when she brings her students on a field trip to CSI headquarters. Greg (Teese's real-life pal Eric Szamanda) is intrigued by the brainy beauty and asks her out on a date. That's before he finds out about Ellen's naughty nightclub alter ego, Rita Von Squeeze. Then, in a series of flashbacks, Teese plays Ellen's murdered grandmother, who was also a burlesque performer back in the day."
Though Van Teese has delivered her fair share of...er...performances, this was her first foray onto the small screen. Did the slinky, inky chanteuse prove too much of a sexpot for CBS? Or will "Rita Von Squeeze" take network TV by storm?
