The star of the long-running NBC show "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" is a frequent presence along the sideline at MSG, with Knicks star Jalen Brunson calling the actress "my favorite person ever." What better co-sign could a fan ask for? Hargitay is far from the only major name from the world of entertainment making sure to get prime seats for the Eastern Conference finals series against the Indiana Pacers. Director Spike Lee, basically ever-present in courtside seats, is embedded in the fabric of Knicks culture thanks to a 1994 playoff battle that saw the director and Indiana star Reggie Miller carry on a war of words.

Mariska Hargitay reveals her biological father's identity: 'Living a lie my entire life'
Mariska Hargitay reveals her biological father's identity: 'Living a lie my entire life' Show Caption Hide Caption 'Law & Order': Christopher Meloni explains Mariska Hargitay friendship "Law & Order: Organized Crime" star Christopher Meloni chats with USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa about the friendship he has with Mariska Hargitay. Mariska Hargitay is opening up about a family bombshell. The "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" star, 61, reveals in her new documentary "My Mom Jayne" that her biological father is actually Italian singer Nelson Sardelli, not Mickey Hargitay, the man who raised her. According to Vanity Fair, Hargitay says in the movie, which premiered at Cannes Film Festival on May 17, that it was "like the floor fell out from underneath me" when she saw a photo of Sardelli in her 20s and instantly knew he was her biological dad. Mariska Hargitay's mother, the late actress Jayne Mansfield, became romantically involved with Sardelli in 1963, amid her divorce from Mickey Hargitay. Mansfield and Hargitay reconciled toward the end of 1963, and Mariska Hargitay was born in January 1964. Mariska Hargitay turns to true mystery: Her mother, Jayne Mansfield Speaking to Vanity Fair, Hargitay said she "went full Olivia Benson," referring to her "Law & Order" character, when she was 30 and introduced herself to Sardelli after going to see him perform in Atlantic City. She recalled telling him, "I don't want anything, I don't need anything from you ... I have a dad.'" She said, however, that she would go on to develop a bond with Sardelli, who appears on camera in the film. In "My Mom Jayne," Hargitay explores the story of her mother, who died in a car crash in 1967, when the future "Law & Order" actress was 3. In a prior announcement, Hargitay described the documentary as "a search for the mother I never knew, an integration of a part of myself I'd never owned, and a reclaiming of my mother's story and my own truth." She added, "I've always believed there is strength in vulnerability, and the process of making this film has confirmed that belief like never before." Speaking to Vanity Fair, Hargitay said she struggled to navigate "knowing I'm living a lie my entire life" after learning the truth about her parentage. She said the movie is also a love letter to Mickey Hargitay, who died in 2006. She shared that there is "no one that I was closer to on this planet" and reflected, "I'm Mickey Hargitay's daughter − that is not a lie." Reunited! 'Law & Order: SVU' stars Mariska Hargitay, Chris Meloni photographed together at NBA game Following the film's Cannes premiere, "My Mom Jayne" is set to debut June 27 on HBO and will be available to stream on HBO Max.

'Law & Order' & 'SVU' Renewed for Fall on NBC
Is Law & Order and Law & Order: SVU coming back in the fall? That's the question fans have been asking NBC as the shows awaited their fate for the 2025-2026 television season. NBCUniversal's 2025 Upfront Presentation isn't scheduled until Monday, May 12, but Variety confirmed the fate of the two beloved Dick Wolf series. Law & Order is expected to return for its 25th season and SVU will be back for its 27th season. They were the last of Wolf's shows to get renewed after all three of the "One Chicago" series learned that they were returning for another year on May 5. If that wasn't enough, Christopher Meloni is also keeping Wolf Entertainment's legacy thriving on Peacock with Law & Order: Organized Crime, which is currently in its fifth season. The Law & Order cast, including Hugh Dancy, Tony Goldwyn, Odelya Halevi, Mehcad Brooks, Reid Scott, and Maura Tierney, are expected to be back. But, SVU will see some cast changes. Mariska Hargitay, Ice T, and Peter Scanavino are coming back, but Juliana Martinez, who plays Detective Kate Silva, and Octavio Pisano, who plays Detective Joe Velasco, are out for Season 27. No reason was given for their departure and neither actor has commented about their exit so far. As one of the most prolific broadcast network creators, Wolf has also been a pioneer in the procedural drama space. 'It's very comforting to know absolutely what the legacy will be into the future,' he told Variety in 2022. 'This company has produced and has clear ownership [stakes] in the longest-running dramas in the history of television. I don't think anybody's ever gonna catch us. And it ain't over.'

Law & Order: Organized Crime's Eli Turns a Complicated Situation Fatal — Read Episode 4 Recap
It can't be easy, being Det. Elliot Stabler's youngest child and trying to forge a career in the New York City Police Department — and it's sure not going to get easier after this week's Law & Order: Organized Crime. Eli takes action in the hour's final moments, and that action is likely to make things much more complicated, and potentially a lot more dangerous, for his pop as the season continues. Read on for the highlights of Episode 4, 'Promesse Infrante.' More from TVLine Law & Order: Organized Crime's Danielle Moné Truitt Teases a 'Come to Jesus Moment' Is On the Way for Someone in Bell's Squad Room Law & Order: Organized Crime Flashes Back to Stabler's Time in Italy, Complete With Appearance By [Spoiler] - Read Recap Is Law & Order: Organized Crime Losing an Original Cast Member After Five Seasons? PIETRO JOINS THE FAMILY BUSINESS | At the top of the episode, Stabler is talking to a therapist. Bravo, Elliot! You're finally dealing with decades of trauma and grief, learning to forgive others and yourself and — oh wait, this is a department-mandated session, and you'd rather have food poisoning than talk about your feelings a minute longer. The shrink doesn't love Stabler's insistence that 'compartmentalization' is going to get him through like it always does, so she gives him a conditional release and says she wants to keep seeing him for the next three months. Later, at the office, Stabler admits to Bell that he doesn't know yet if Isabella Spezzano is involved in the criminal activity they're investigating, but he's pretty sure her older grandson, Roman, is. Meanwhile, Reyes gets word that the destabilized Los Santos organization is looking for some new members, so he goes undercover with the gang. As we know, Roman definitely is involved in the family business, and he soon has younger brother Pietro involved, as well. And when Pietro's twin sister tells Isabella that something's off about Pietro, Isabella searches his room and finds a gun. WHO'S WATCHING STABLER? | Since the Spezzano's church seems to be ground central for the crime ring to recruit teens, Stabler pays a visit to the parish priest, Father Antonio. As they both sit on opposite sides of the confessional, Stabler is up front about the fact that he's a cop and he's going to do everything he can to stop the violence. As he leaves, someone watches him go on security footage. 'Who was that?' an unseen person asks the man watching the video. 'Someone who should be dead,' he answers. Meanwhile, Los Santos accept Reyes into their operation and give him a pretty awful beat-down as part of his initiation. He's later able to give Bell some intel: A man named Angel Acosta is Los Santos' new boss, and they're preparing for a strike against the Camorra. CASA STABLER HAS A VACANCY | Stabler returns home to find Becky and Eli moving out of the apartment. They found a spot in Randall's building, they sheepishly tell El, who isn't pleased. In their defense: They did just get shot at on their own front steps, no? Shortly after they go, Isabella swings by. Elliot mentions the imminent attack, which scares her, but she doesn't offer any specific information about the Camorra. At the office the next day, Bell knows about Isabella's visit, which causes Stabler to guess that Eli (who saw her on his way out) mentioned it to his field training officer; word traveled, and now NYPD brass are involved, worried that Stabler is in too deep. He counters that he's pretty sure Isabella's stop-by was a strategic tactic to glean how the investigation is going. Bell trusts him but warns him to keep things with his Italian informant under control. Stabler later brings Father Antonio into the station for questioning; he's made a lot of trips to Naples lately, though he claims they were just to tend to his elderly mother. Unbeknownst to him, Isabella watches from the other side of the two-way mirror and identifies him as a Camorra member who was a friend of her brother's and who could be serving as his eyes and ears while Rocco is in prison in Italy. 'IT'S MY TURN NOW' | Not long after, Los Santos and the Spezzanos get into a nighttime shootout; Reyes ends up with his gun trained on Pietro, but none of the Los Santos members are looking, so he (obviously) lets him go. By the time the police get there, there are a bunch of dead bodies and no suspects to nab. Eli is working the crime scene's perimeter; Elliot storms over and asks him about talking about Isabella with his superiors. Eli admits it came up during a conversation with his FTO… who's standing right there and shuts down the conversation. After Pietro doesn't come home and the police bring Isabella to her local station, Stabler tells her about the boy being at the scene of a violent crime. This causes her to lay into Roman at home, demanding that he and Pietro cut ties with the Camorra. He says it's not that easy, and informs her that he's the new head of their family. 'You lost the right to make decisions for us,' he sneers. 'It's my turn now.' ELI ACTS | Everything comes to a head when Stabler confront Roman at the brewery that's serving as a front for his crime operation. Pietro is there, too. Bell is able to give Stabler a tiny heads-up that Los Santos are on their way; when the other crime ring arrives, a shootout ensues. Roman takes a bullet and runs out the back of the building. Pietro gets Reyes in his crosshairs just as the uniformed officers arrive; the teen is incredibly freaked out but also won't drop his weapon. And when he doesn't, a just-arrived-on-the-scene Eli shoots Pietro in the chest, killing him. 'He was going to… he was going to,' repeats a stunned Eli, who can't seem to fathom what he's just done. Stabler orders the other officers to take his son outside, realizing that this mess of a case just got a lot more complicated. Now it's your turn. What did you think of the episode?
