What Happened To Olivia Benson’s Sex Life?

Zack Rosen — Wed, 16 Feb 2011 13:35:00 EST

If you want to try something interesting, watch Law and Order: Special Victims Unit non-chronologically. It can be quite eye-opening. My boyfriend and I needed a predictable, non-committal show to get us through our December doldrums. With Angel and Veronica Mars behind us, and the wonders of Skins yet to be discovered, we turned to that old stand-by of Law and Order. Like the Mexican restaurant near my parents' house, where I can go at age 9 or age 25 and always get the same thing, SVU‘s comfortable familiarity gave us a much-needed bland distraction in the coldest of months.

Did Ellen DeGeneres try to trick Mariah Carey into admitting she's pregnant? Mariah was a guest on Ellen's show, and after Ellen asked and got a vague response, she busted out the champagne, saying, "You don't have to answer that. Let's just toast with champagne." Mariah got flustered and said, "I can't believe you did this to me, Ellen," and pretended to sip the bubbly. Knocked up? [Yahoo News via E!]

"It doesn't seem as if that's going to be a choice she'll make… Michael (Patrick King, director) and I never talk about it. That doesn't mean that won't be part of the story. We just haven't figured it out. It feels a little bit manipulative to toss that into the mix, because she seems so pointed in a different direction." [Daily Express]

Art Imitates Life

Dodai Stewart — Thu, 15 May 2008 14:20:00 EDT

Last August, a crazy online dating story with twists and turns garnered a lot of attention. I (Dodai) wrote that it was "bizarre, completely epic" and "seemingly made-for-the-big screen." The gist of it: A man creates an online profile of a hot young soldier and "meets" a hot young girl via IM. They get engaged, never realizing that each is not whom they claim to be. Last night, Law & Order's episode seemed to be inspired by the tale! Watch a recap here. [Hulu] More »

Stars Put Best Foot Forward At Costume Designers Guild Awards

Jennifer — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 10:30:00 EST

Yesterday film and television actors alike turned out at the Costume Designers Guild 10th Annual Awards in Beverly Hills to pay homage to the people who sew their pockets shut: costume designers. And on the whole, the female stars in attendance looked good! While Gabrielle Anwar — don't pretend you don't remember Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken! — went for a look more heavy on the costume than the fine design, Jane Kaczmarek, January Jones, and Law and Order's very pregnant Elisabeth Rohm all looked smart and sleek. (J.Lo could really take a page from Rohm's book. Although that point is probably moot, if the gossip columns are to be believed.) And then there were the "What were they thinking?" women: Angelica Huston, Ginnifer Goodwin, Kristen Chenowith. The full Good, Bad, and Ugly, after the jump. More »
