We're breaking down the Emmy nominees, one category at a time, and now we — that's you and me — are looking at the lead actress in a drama. Will it be a veteran nominee, or one of the deserving new faces to the race? Check out who you guys think deserves the Emmy, and I'll let you know my opinion as well. And don't forget to vote on my Emmy ballot — you could take home a prize too: an Apple iPad!
Lost's Desmond wasn't kidding about seeing him in another life: Henry Ian Cusick is returning to TV this Fall! The actor has just signed on for a role on Law & Order: SVU as a graphic artist who flirts with Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay). I don't know how I feel about watching Des put the moves on anyone other than Penny, but it's nice to see yet another Lost star make a career off the island! One request: please, please let him keep the accent.
This week, Law & Order: SVU announced something of a casting coup, saying it had gotten Robin Williams to guest-star on the show's 200th episode on April 29. It was already a big week for news about cameo appearances, anyway, as we're now counting down the days till Britney's big appearance on How I Met Your Mother.
Show producers seem to especially love getting big-name guest stars for milestones and key ratings periods, like the February and May sweeps — and I expect we'll be seeing more guest stars this spring as shows try to drum up some attention in the aftermath of the writers' strike. I'm wondering: Do you like it when big-name actors or personalities show up on your favorite TV shows? Or do you just find it distracting?
Want to gruffly tell your Valentine that you're dangerously in love? These tongue-in-cheek valentines are perfect for all the Law & Order: SVU fans in your life, or fans of irony in general.
The SVU Valentines Set I (shown above) includes such gems as "Guilty! Of Being My Valentine," while Set II (which is new this year) has quips like "I 'Huang' to Be With You," and "You're Extra Special."
The cards are available individually for $3 each, or as sets of five for $10, so to have them in time for V-day, click here.
"Law & Order: Criminal Intent" starts its seventh season tonight, but you'll have to look on USA — not NBC, where it aired for the past six years — to find it. The show's original episodes are now airing on that network (which NBC owns), with repeats airing sometime later on NBC. It seemed like the perfect time to ask you "L&O" fans which version of the series is your favorite.
