423 EPISODES LATER – MARISKA HARGITAY STILL LOVES HER JOB

Apparently Mariska Hargitay KNOWS how lucky she is to star on a successful one hour TV series, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, for almost 20 years – but she didn’t let the long hours interfere with her happy private life. Mariska actually met her actor husband Peter Hermann when he guested on the show and they married in 2004. Mariska has been so affected by her role on the show that she started a charity to help “special victims” of sexual assault, domestic violence, and child abuse. So far they’ve helped more than 5000 victims. Above, Mariska and Peter took their kids, Andrew, 7, August, 12, and Amaya, 7, to a NY Knicks game. Jayne Mansfield would have been proud of her daughter.

FORMER LAW & ORDER STAR RICHARD BELZER IS CLEARLY BREAKING THE LAW

118797PCN_RichardBelzercut

Comic and retired detective from Law & Order: SVU, Richard Belzer pulled a fast one by breaking the law while having lunch at Nello’s with friends in New York. The TV detective is known for being crazy about his dogs and rarely leaves the house without one of them. He’s active in the North Shore Animal League and always urges fellow actors to adopt dogs rather than buy from a breeder. Above, he appears to have a new pet concealed on his lap in the restaurant and we all know that’s against the law! But we wish it wasn’t.

DENNIS FARINA WAS EQUALLY BELIEVABLE AS A COP OR A GANGSTER

#dennisfarina #janetcharlton

We always felt a tiny connection with actor Dennis Farina because he spent 18 years (‘67 to ‘85) as a Chicago cop and we grew up there. (Don’t know if he was one of those cops who expected bribes, but many of them did in those days – and they all seemed to be big and have deep voices, unlike Los Angeles cops.) Dennis started out as a police consultant for director Michael Mann and got into acting. He always retained his thick Chicago accent and played gangsters and police officers with equal gusto in numerous movies and TV series. His death from a blood clot was sudden and hopefully painless, but we will miss him. (Above in Law & Order with Michael Imperioli)

JAY MOHR IS UNLIKELY CHOICE TO PLAY CHARLIE SHEEN BASED CHARACTER

“Law & Order: Criminal Intent” is jumping on the Charlie Sheen bandwagon and they’re featuring – of all people- comic Jay Cox Mohr (yes, he took his wife’s last name.) To avoid Charlie’s wrath, they’re making the character an incredibly successful and popular rockstar designer who makes tons of money and parties like there’s no tomorrow with few consequences. According to Deadline/Hollywood the plot includes a murder at a party full of cocaine and pornstars. Jay is an odd choice for two reasons: he looks more like a midwestern businessman than a playboy, and he lacks any fashion edge, to put it mildly. But he DID marry Playboy model Nikki Cox, so that gives him a little credibility.

ICE -T AND COCO HAVE THEIR OWN LITTLE SPARTACUS

Ice-T’s glamorous wife Coco dropped by the “Law & Order” set (in her white Cadillac) and brought their new baby- a tiny four week old bulldog puppy. Coco can’t get enough of her little “Spartacus.” Hopefully her husband won’t get jealous because the puppy’s getting all the cuddling. Spartacus was the talk of the set and he was introduced to a full grown bulldog but they didn’t make a connection.

Kathy Griffin is getting final make up touches before she films her scene on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. She’s playing a strident lesbian activist, which is not so much of a stretch. She’s an unexpected casting choice because there is nothing funny about this show. Kathy LOVES having the opportunity to act – but can she keep a straight face? Can we?

Law & Order’s Richard Belzer obviously doesn’t mind having his picture taken. He was only too eager to pose with his little poodle/fox terrier mix dog named Bebe. He takes Bebe everywhere. We’re not sure if Richard is showing off his velvet pants or his best friend but we know an adorable dog always gets paparazzi attention. Richard looks like he could be one of the Rolling Stones.
