On Wednesday’s Law & Order: SVU on NBC at 9p Kathy Griffin will be playing Babs, a lesbian activist whose group members are being murdered. While Detective Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is protecting her, Babs misreads the signals and kisses her. That kiss has to be the most awkward same-sex kiss on TV so far, but I think it was suppose to play out that way. Even as uneasy as it felt, I am sure there will be a lot people who will be using the :10 second rewind feature on their remotes to watch it over and over again.
BTW there are two new episodes of Law & Order: SVU this Wednesday, one at 9p and one at 10p. This will be first time SVU will air in its old timeslot since the failed Jay Leno experiment.
Before Mariska Hargitay was a detective on Law & Order: SVU, she was pre-med student on Freddy’s Nightmatres. Thankfully the 24 year old actress lost those huge glasses she wore in that 1988 episode.
BTW a bonus BTWF at 11:11 in: Before Shiri Appleby was a mother of a teenager on Life UneXpected, she was an awwwdorable 9 year old actress in that episode!
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay, 42, gave birth to a baby boy Wednesday at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California. It is her first child with her husband of almost two years, actor Peter Hermann. The baby boy weighed in at 10 pounds 9 ounces and was born a week after his expected due date via C-Section, a hospital source tells Us. Hargitay’s father, actor Mickey Hargitay, and brother were at the hospital as well.
The couple met on the set of Law & Order: SVU. Hermann, 38, appeared most recently in the film United 93. Hargitay won a Golden Globe Award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series in 2005 and as well as the 2004 and 2005 Emmy Nominee, and 2004 Screen Actors Guild Nominee for Lead Actress. She is also the daughter of the late screen siren Jayne Mansfield.
