Mariska Hargitay is coming to Los Angeles for Law & Order

Mariska Hargitay was in town for a series of private appearances, including a dinner at Neiman Marcus’s Mariposa restaurant Sept. 1, to raise awareness and funds for the Joyful Heart Foundation, which she founded out of a desire to heal, educate and empower survivors of sexual assault, domestic violence and child abuse.

Mariska Hargitay, the beautiful Olivia Benson on Law & Order: SVU, is doing a guest spot on the new Law & Order: Los Angeles in order to help kick off the show.

“I got to work with them yesterday,” Hargitay told E! Online at the Emmys. “They have an incredible cast…I think it’s going to be strong right out of the gate.”

The storyline is going to be about the backlog of untested rape kits, she revealed. Evidently there are a lot of rape kits that never get tested because there’s such a backlog of them. Rape kits are the evidence that is taken from a woman’s person during a four-hour exam that is very invasive, right after she is raped. Having all that evidence never get processed is quite a tragedy, and Mariska’s foundation, the Joyful Heart Foundatin, is working to help rectify the situation.

So this role on Law & Order: Los Angeles is near and dear to her heart. The new TV show premieres September 29

She serves as president of the organization she founded in 2004, in part due to overwhelming response to the character she plays on NBC’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” New York City detective Olivia Benson.

Like, say, staying inside on Monday, clicking to MTV and watching six hours of "Jersey Shore."
It's like a day at the beach without all the sand.

ABC Family: Monday at 3 and 7 p.m., a double shot of the classic 1965 film "The Sound of Music," starring Julie Andrews.

Bravo: Sunday, 6 p.m.midnight, a mini-marathon of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent." Monday, 10 a.m.-midnight, a maxi-marathon of "The Real Housewives of New Jersey," 10 a.m.-midnight. (Inexplicably, it'll be interrupted 10-11 p.m. for an episode of "Thintervention.")

Beatrice Capra is the new celebrity Of Profetional Tennis

As an 18-year-old American earning a wild-card spot at the U.S. Open, Capra’s story bore a resemblance to that of Melanie Oudin, who made a stunning run to the tournament’s quarterfinals last year as a 17-year-old.

And after a 7-5, 2-6, 6-3 upset over France’s Aravane Rezai Thursday, vaulting Capra into the third round, Capra got her first taste at questions that are sure to follow if her run continues.
“I really look up to Melanie। I watched all of her matches last year and I was just so happy for her,” Capra said। “You know, it was really inspiring to me because I played her a year before and then she was getting to the quarters of a Grand Slam. It was just unbelievable and I was so happy for her.”

But for Capra, who was upset in the under-18 Nationals and didn’t think she would have a shot at the U.S. Open to begin with, her story is different.

Coming from a mostly junior tournament schedule, she said she lost in the first round of each tournament qualifier for WTA events she entered. She still doesn’t know if she’s going to go pro, currently taking a year off to decide whether she wants to attend college.
Unlike Oudin, that doesn’t come with the daunting expectations she said contributed to her loss on Wednesday. Instead, Capra said she likes the attention so far and thinks the crowd is on her side.

“They were awesome (Thursday),” Capra said. “When I was down in the first set 4-2, you know, I was thinking it was going to go downhill. You know, they really helped me and supported me.”
After a 6-3, 6-4, 6-3 victory over Andreas Beck, Federer talked about the advantage it gives him moving forward.

“It’s definitely an advantage I would think, yeah. ... it’s a dangerous court to play on and everybody has the last slam left to prove. I think that’s why it makes it really hard to win.”
A day after Victoria Azarenka collapsed on the court during a singles match, she and partner Dinara Safina pulled out of women’s doubles.

Azarenka and Safina were scheduled to face the ninth-seeded pair of Cara Black and Anastasia Rodionova in the first round Thursday.
On Wednesday, Azarenka, a 21-year-old seeded 10th in singles, was taken away in a wheelchair, then went to a hospital for tests, which showed she had a mild concussion. Azarenka said she banged her head in a fall at the gym before the match.
