Now that Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has been renewed for Season 14, star Mariska Hargitay wants her character Olivia Benson to find long-lasting love.
"Ada Haden (Harry Connick Jr.) made her realize that there is hope," Hargitay told TVGuide.com at her fifth annual Joyful Heart Gala. "She was so broken and in pain and devastated with the departure of Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni), that the truth is, now that he's gone I think there's room. With him there I think she had blinders on and now she's going, 'Wait a minute there's a whole other world out there.'"

Debra Messing, Ice-t, Coco, Sam Ronson Party With Mariska Hargitay For Real-Life Special Victims
10 May 2012 9:21 AM, PDT | TheFabLife - Movies | See recent TheFabLife - Movies news »
I’m sure almost every night in New York and Los Angeles, there is a room that contains handfuls of celebrities, bankers and society ladies clinking glasses and pledging thousands to some cause or another. But, though I have been to a whole lot of those kinds of soirees, I feel like the one I went to last night, a benefit for the Joyful Heart Foundation at Cipriani Wall Street in NYC, is a little bit different from the others. I can’t imagine there are many other events where you would see Ice-t and Coco meet wide-eyed teenagers, Debra Messing loudly promising to kiss a stranger, Samantha Ronson teaching a Christie’s auctioneer how to hold a mic, and Hilary Swank dancing in her seat as Harry Connick Jr. improvised lyrics in praise of Mariska Hargitay.

Mariska Hargitay in for Law & Order: Svu Season 14, if Svu Rolls On
22 April 2012 6:55 PM, PDT | Boomtron | See recent Boomtron news »
A ray of light is bringing hope to Law & Order: Svu and the possibility of a Season 14 now that Mariska Hargitay has signed a new deal with NBC, ensuring her presence on the show if it is renewed for next season. Her presence is likely paramount to a renewal, since they already lost Christopher Meloni last year when they couldn’t come up with a good enough deal for him. If they were to lose Hargitay a year later, I would say it would be lights out for the 13-year old series.
According to THR, Hargitay’s deal will add a whopping $500,000 to her bank account every episode. It’s also worth noting that just because Hargitay has signed a deal to return it doesn’t mean Svu will be renewed. Viewership has gone down considerably since Meloni made his exit after 12 years on the show, and it doesn’t »

Will 'Svu' Be Back? Mariska Officially Signs On For More
20 April 2012 7:04 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
If "Law & Order: Svu" returns for Season 14, series star Mariska Hargitay will officially be a part of it. Although the star confirmed plans to stick around in a video presented to reporters in January 2012, Hargitay's new deal only officially came together recently, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
"I'll be back. I can't leave this show," Hargitay, who has played Detective Olivia Benson since the show's 1999 debut, said in January. "I'm having too much fun."
According to THR, Hargitay's new deal does not mean the show will be back for a Season 14. The long-running Dick Wolf drama recently hit series low ratings.
"Law & Order: Svu" has gone through a rebirth of sorts after a cast shake-up. Christopher Meloni left the NBC procedural after Season 12 and newbies Kelli Giddish and Danny Pino joined the fold for Season 13. "Svu" also got a new showrunner when Warren Leight joined the series.

Law & Order: Svu Sneak Peeks: Chloë Sevigny Guest Stars Tonight
Last week we were treated to a terrific episode of Law & Order: Svu wherein Olivia had to revisit one of her past cases and learned that she had elicited a false confession. The episode ended on a rather sad note when Olivia and Da David Haden (guest star Harry Connick Jr.) ended their burgeoning relationship because he had been appointed to a review panel where he would be forced to investigate her former cases.
In tonight's all new episode of Law & Order: Svu, Diane Neal returns as Ada Casey Novak and Chloë Sevigny guest stars. Sevigny plays a woman who is raped while video chatting with her husband who is in Hong Kong on a business trip. He watches the rapist attack and abduct her, but it's his mother who notifies the police. The police descend on the victim's house »

In HuffPost TV's exclusive preview of "Justice Denied," (Wed., April 11, 10 p.m. Et on NBC), the past comes back to haunt Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and threatens to derail her new relationship with Haden (Harry Connick Jr.).

DVD Review: Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Renee Zellweger in 4-Film Collections
3 April 2012 12:44 PM, PDT | HollywoodChicago.com | See recent HollywoodChicago.com news »
Chicago – What’s an inevitability when a company like Lionsgate gets access to a film archive like that of Miramax (besides the wonderful wave of Blu-ray reissues that has seen recent HD releases of “Amelie,” “Shakespeare in Love,” “Swingers,” and more)? DVD collections! Three of today’s biggest stars, all three Oscar winners, are getting the 4-film collection treatment from the company this week with some definite fan favorites in each set. Pick your favorite.
“The Nicole Kidman 4-Film Collection”

Personally, it’s no contest. Nicole Kidman is not only the best actress of the three but gets the best 4-film treatment even if she’s the only one for which her Oscar-winning role (in “The Hours”) is not included. However, she was nominated for one of the performances in this set and I would argue could have easily been nominated for »

William Levy Turns Up The Heat On 'Dancing With The Stars' (Watch)
27 March 2012 11:12 AM, PDT | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »
William Levy turned up the heat for the second week in a row on last night's 'Dancing With the Stars.'
The strapping Cuban hunk and his partner Cheryl Burke were tasked with dancing the Quick Step, and even though the Cuban heartthrob said he'd never heard of the dance, he and Burke managed to score a 25, which put them at number two on the leaderboard behind Katherine Jenkins and Roshon Fegan, who both earned 26s.
Burke was thrilled with their score, and pointed out that it's an improvement over last week when the duo nabbed 24 out of a possible 30 points.
"We improved from last week and that's my goal, to slowly climb up the leaderboard and that's what we did," she said, adding that her partner can perform a multitude of dances. "I think he has both styles. He can really do the ballroom and the Latin really well. »

'DWTS': Is crowd pleaser William Levy an early favorite?
26 March 2012 8:49 PM, PDT | EW - Inside TV | See recent EW.com - Inside TV news »
It’s only week two of Dancing with the Stars, but if the ballroom screams for Cuban soap star William Levy are any indication, the “Brad Pitt of Mexico” might be on his way to win the mirror ball trophy.
Bold statement? Sure, but until you sit near the studio where Dancing is taped and hear the catcalls from the audience, you can’t possibly understand how manic American women (and some men) are for Levy.
“I have no words to explain how good it feels,” Levy told reporters afterwards. “When I was a little boy and I was in Cuba, »

'Dancing With the Stars': William Levy is the 'Harry Connick Jr.,' 'The Artist' in the ballroom
26 March 2012 8:28 PM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Latin telenovela star William Levy turned in another wonderful performance on "Dancing With the Stars," though ballroom dancing is definitely not as strong for him as Latin dancing. But still, he and partner Cheryl Burke lit up the floor on their quickstep.
Carrie Ann and Bruno were very excited about it, calling him "the Harry Connick Jr. of the ballroom" and "The Artist," respectively. Len was not quite as high on the routine, saying, "I thought you had good movement and posture, you needed cleaner footwork, you lacked body contact ... good, not great."
The scores reflected that, as Carrie and Bruno both gave out nines and Len gave William a seven. What did you think, "DWTS" fans? Which judge did you agree with? »

'Finding Your Roots' uncovers kissing cousins Kyra Sedgwick, Kevin Bacon

Genealogy has enjoyed a renaissance on reality shows such as NBC's "Who Do You Think You Are?" and that can be attributed in large part to Harvard scholar Dr. Henry Louis Gates Jr., whose PBS specials including "African American Lives" and "Faces of America" helped shed a light on the fascinating ethnic backgrounds of many different people.
This passion that Gates has to, as he says, "get into the DNA of American culture" now continues on a larger scale in the new 10-part PBS series "Finding Your Roots With Henry Louis Gates, Jr.," which airs Sundays beginning March 25 (check local listings).
It wasn't until DNA technology really broke through in the early 2000s that Gates could really dive into his research. Originally working with African-American history, Gates has expanded his testing into a wide range of cultures and people, and in this series he again teams up with a number »
