We were catching up with Law & Order: Criminal Intent tonight and at one point, Detective Robert Goren is talking to a former Marine. He asked former Marine where he did training and former Marine answers, "Parris Island." Ha! Of course, Parris Island is familiar to Goren's portrayer Vincent D'Onofrio, who played Private Pyle in Full Metal Jacket. Goren responds, noting that Parris Island has changed a lot. Maybe the L&O:C! writers will work in......

The Daily News has a feature on Chris Noth, who will forever be in Gothamist's heart as Detective Mike Logan, in spite of a magical though increasingly bloated stint as Mr. Big, the apple in Carrie Bradshaw's eye. It's all because he'll be back on Law & Order: Criminal Intent for a second season. Last season, Noth and Annabella Sciorra traded off episodes with Vincent D'Onofrio and Kathryn Erbe, but now Noth's new partner will......

It's pretty cute to know that Marc Anthony keeps his wedding pictures on his laptop! The NYPD's Major Case Squad just busted the guys who tried to extort Anthony and Jennifer Lopez for $1 million in return for Anthony's laptop and wedding video.

While this graffiti stencil caught by callalillie captures the mystique of Detectives Goren and Eames of Law & Order: Criminal Intent, it turns out that there needs to be an addition. Chris Noth, aka Detective Mike Logan from Law & Order's first five seasons, will be a permanent cast member of Criminal Intent this fall. He and Vincent D'Onofrio will be splitting the episode load as lead detectives on the case (D'Onofrio has had......

News that our favorite Law & Order detective portrayer, Jerry Orbach, has prostate cancer is upsetting, but we're glad that he has been responding well to treatment and we'll send him our prayers. That said, Gothamist never wants to think about Jerry Orbach's prostate again; we rather think of pithy one-liners that Lennie Briscoe would say. But if Jerry even needs some cheering up, Gothamist would be happy to gather up a crew of people......

It's our version of the circus coming to town: Law & Order: Criminal Intent filmed near our work this past week. What they would need to do at some undisclosed Midtown location is beyond us, though we were able to find out that the episode will be called (at this point) "Mislabeled" and that it will air on February 22. Gothamist was most interested in the trailers, whose inhabitants' identities were purposefully deceptive. One......

I've liked Vincent D since Full Metal Jacket- he has that sort of slightly unhinged intensity down cold. Plus, he seems smart. And it's not just the giant head. CNN.com - The man with the meaningful stubble - Feb. 3, 2003 [Jen, 3PM]: Funny you should mention Vincent D. - I just saw Happy Accidents, this romantic comedy with a sci-fi bent that he stars in with Marisa Tomei. We need more Vincent D.......
