I see that they're still reaping the benefits of being television stars... but they shouldn't count on it for too long! Especially if she has August with her... "Law & Order" star can't escape her series"Celebrity buzz Posted by the Asbury Park Press on 10/30/07 NEW YORK (AP) — Like the rest of us, Mariska Hargitay can't seem to get away from the "Law & Order" series either. While in Hawaii, the actress from "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" turned on a television and the show was on. "I was like, "Argh, I can't get away from it.' I turned it off and ran outside and of course people were like, "Oh my God you're on TV right now!' " the television detective told Newsweek magazine for editions on newsstands yesterday. Being a celebrity sometimes has its perks, especially when the Emmy winner gets stopped by a police officer. "The cops in New York and L.A. have been, how shall I say, very patient. I've gotten a couple of warnings but they've been very gracious. There's definitely a bond, a rapport, with law enforcement," she said. "Special Victims Unit," in its ninth season, is part of NBC's long-running trio of "Law & Order" series. The original "Law & Order" is in its 17th season, while "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" is in its sixth year.

Here's what seems to be the accompanying article: Mariska Hargitay, Off the CuffBy Nicki Gostin | NEWSWEEK Nov 5, 2007 Issue Mariska Hargitay is back for her ninth season as Detective Olivia Benson, one of the toughest women on primetime, in "Law and Order: SVU." She spoke with Nicki Gostin. NEWSWEEK: DO you ever turn on the TV and say, "I can't believe it's on again."HARGITAY: I was in Hawaii and I flipped on the TV and it was on. I was like, "Argh, I can't get away from it." I turned it off and ran outside and of course people were like, "Oh my God you're on TV right now!" But still, ka-ching. Don't you get residuals?I don't know. Probably. What do you mean you don't know? That's how celebs get ripped off by their accountants. I don't like to think that way. Cops must love you. You must never get tickets.The cops in New York and L.A. have been, how shall I say, very patient. I've gotten a couple of warnings but they've been very gracious. There's definitely a bond, a rapport, with law enforcement. You had a baby at 42. What are the good things about being an older mom? I think you're just old enough to get it and appreciate it. When I was younger I was so much more focused on my career, trying to get ahead, will I ever make it, blah, blah, blah. And now I get to focus on August as much as I can. What are the downsides?The downside is I want to have five more. Tick tock.Yeah, a little tick-tocking action at work here. What about harder to bend down?Not yet, thank God. You speak a couple of languages. I can get by. I grew up learning Italian and Hungarian because we spent our summers there. But I don't use them as much. Really? You don't have much use to speak Hungarian?Exactly, right? Would you say after Zsa Zsa you're the most famous Hungarian actress?Without a doubt! But then again, who's your competition? You don't have to mention that part! © Newsweek, Inc.
