Mariska Hargitay: TV Guide News

ABC Changes: Murder In, Trees Out | Roush Dispatch | 3/31/2008
Some head-scratching is in order upon looking at ABC's latest round of midseason shuffling. On one hand, I get why the network would try to give Women’s Murder Club some exposure on a night that isn’t Friday. But in announcing its return with three new episodes on Tuesdays at 10 pm/ET, starting April 29, you can’t help but wonder if the show is being given a favor after all. This scheduling puts it head-to-head against NBC’s powerful Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,... read more
SVU Boss: "Olivia Benson Finally Has a Boyfriend" | Today's News: Our Take | 3/18/2008
"And he was well worth the wait." That's the word from Law & Order: SVU executive producer Neal Baer, announcing the casting of Bill Pullman (Independence Day) as the new (and lucky!) guy in Benson's life. According to People, Pullman's character, Kurt Moss, is the editor of a fictional New York City newspaper, and first will be seen in the April 22 episode, the procedural's second post-strike outing.Mariska Hargitay is sure to be pleased. As she shared with TV Guide just last week, "I've... read more
Episode Recap: "Unorthodox" | Law & Order: SVU | 1/16/2008
For all you bloggers who want L&O:SVU to go back to investigating sex crimes I think we can all agree that the rape of a young boy is going to qualify.Now since Olivia was the featured detective in last week's episode it was pretty obvious that we'd be treated to a little Elliot Stabler tonight. But lo and behold who is that dapper chap standing next to him? Well if my eyes don't deceive me I do believe it's our long lost conspiracy minded investigator Det. John Munch. Haven't seen too... read more
Episode Recap: "Signature" | Law & Order: SVU | 1/9/2008
Well at least Mariska didn't look as orange this week so that's good but when Erika Christensen introduced herself as a Special Agent with the F.B.I. I had to smile. She looks like a kid to me. And maybe even worse...she sounds like one. Now the Traffic and Swimf@n star is 25 years old so I guess its possible for her to run an investigation in the hunt for the serial killer The Woodsman...no wait...it just seems kind of dumb. Tell me: am I alone here? Does everyone on this show HAVE to be... read more
SVU, Knight Rider and Other Short Cuts | Today's News: Our Take | 11/30/2007
Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi and America's Second Harvest are partnering on a charity auction featuring such gets as lunch with SVU's Mariska Hargitay, dinner with Heroes' Jimmy Jean-Louis and a visit with Food Network's Sandra Lee. Visit eBay.com/woodbridge for deets.... The fan site Jalopnik.com has photos suggesting that the new K.I.T.T. being used for NBC's upcoming Knight Rider movie/backdoor pilot is a 550 HP Ford Shelby GT500KR. Mind you, this K.I.T.T. shape-shifts, Transformers-like, so... read more
Episode Recap: "All Mine" | Reaper | 10/10/2007
Poor Sam. Now more than ever it seems he's stuck in a situation where his cowardice and insecurities (and yet not his poor choice of a role model) is keeping him from getting the things he wants. So far, we know that he wants to go out with Andi and that he believes his life is worth more than his job at the Work Bench, but he still doesn't feel totally comfortable soul-catching for Leland Palmer the Devil. But at least he knows he's pretty good at that last one, especially when motivated by... read more
Catching Up with the Good (Closer) and the Bad (TMZ) | Roush Dispatch | 9/11/2007
This week’s crackling finale of TNT's The Closer was a splendid reminder of why Kyra Sedgwick is so deserving of the best-actress Emmy this year (yes, she'll be getting it for last season, but the character was just as strong a year ago). Being on basic cable, it's possible she'll once again by upstaged in what is one of the more crowded categories — her five other nominees include Sally Field (my second pick), Minnie Driver and past winners (in order of preference) Edie Falco,... read more

$VU $tars $ign New, Big-bucks Deals | Today's News: Our Take | 1/25/2007
Although NBC is mum on the financial particulars, Variety reports that Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni have signed on for two more years of Law & Order: SVU, inking deals that provide them each with $6.5 million-plus salaries, and in Hargitay's case, makes her (at the very least) one of network television's highest-paid actresses. As L&O creator Dick Wolf says he is happy "that Chris and Mariska have decided to stay with a show that they’ve made an indelible stamp upon,"... read more

It wasn't a dream! I was so afraid I'd wake up this morning and find out that Mariska's Emmy victory was all just a figment of my imagination, but it happened, it really, really happened. And best of all, Marish and I shared a private moment at TV Guide's After Party that, well, wasn't technically private since the whole thing was captured in this exclusive video clip!

The not-so-little guy tipped the scales at 10 pounds and 9 ounces. Mother, son and me are all doing well — as is some dude named Peter Hermann. You're probably wondering why we haven't released the tyke's name yet. Well, Marish is pushing for Michael Thomas Ausiello-Hargitay-Hermann, but I feel that the multitude of names will... read more
