Chris & Mariska So Very Unhappy With New L&O Guest Stars

Exclusive

By now you've heard the news: The season finale of Law & Order: SVU won't be about a father who kills his wife and baby, but rather the trio of celebrity guest spots. Star Jones is popping up as a prosecutor, Nancy Grace plays herself, and Ludacris is … well, we're not sure what he's doing there. Maybe he's the one who finds the body in the opening scene?

Either way, while the network is expecting a ratings boost, not everyone is thrilled with the new additions. A NBC source tells us SVU stars Chris Meloni and Mariska Hargitay are anything but pleased about the new arrivals.

Says our insider: "It's the season finale. They wanted [the last show] to be about them … and now [producers] are bringing in all this star power. They're pissed." Adds our source: "Mostly, it's about Star Jones. Nobody wants her on the show. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how her agent got her [this role]."

To which producers replied – in the imaginary conversation we just had with them – "Chris and Mariska just got huge pay raises. Tell 'em to fuck off."

    Ludacris played Ice-T's character's (Fin's) nephew* in a previous episode. Though Law and Order recycles actors pretty regularly (in a season one episode of the mothership show S. Epatha Merkeson was a crack mother and Jerry Orbach was her lawyer, for example)**, Ludacris is too big a name to have him play anything other than what he's already been.

    *to start, we learn, through plot twists, that they may be even closer.
    **I'm a big Law and Order dork. I'm going to go drink myself to oblivion now.

    I love L&O……..love Chris and Mariska………..I hate Star Jones and Nancy Grace…………..am I upset? You bet!
    Why do tptb think these two harpies will contribute anything to a great show? Ludicris did well in the role of Fin's son, IMO.

    It's probably better for Jones to take the role than run the risk of their having a look-alike imitate her; then people will *really* start laughing. At least this way she gets the publicity and the role (does she have a SAG card? that may be why she took this).

    Knowing Dick Wolf, she's probably not getting more than double-scale plus 10% and car service to and from the studio. And she's probably providing her own clothes.

    BTW, Ludacris was *wonderful* in his last SVU, a terrific actor. I'm looking forward to seeing his work again.

    I hate f'n Mariska Hartigay. She's such a huge bitch….always ranting about something. She's lucky she's on that show. I'd rather watch Star Jones a hundred times over that that hag. BLAH!

    No. 30 Deb in MI. says:

    MSNBC reports “A federal grand jury on Thursday indicted a Missouri woman for her alleged role in perpetrating a hoax on the online social network MySpace against a 13-year-old neighbor who committed suicide. Lori Drew of suburban St. Louis allegedly helped create a false-identity MySpace account to contact Megan Meier, who thought she was chatting with a 16-year-old boy named Josh Evans. Josh didn't exist. Megan hanged herself at home in October 2006 after receiving cruel messages, including one stating the world would be better off without her.” This is one of the same types of crimes Nancy Grace did against the late Melinda Duckett, and Nancy and CNN are alleged to have paid out tens-of-millions in dollars to settle this lawsuit against them. With a ordered-contingency against discussing the crimes of Nancy Grace in this case, CNN was not able to respond to MSNBC’s repeated requests for further comments and explanations. Nancy should definitely be in prison for these and other crimes she has committed against real victims. Click on the Link to help give Nancy a hand.
