The very lovely Mariska Hargitay and the super hot piece of man meat Christopher Meloni are in New York filming scenes for the new season of Law & Order:  SVU.

Not  to discount the great show that SVU is, but would it be asking too much to have Christopher Meloni running around shirtless a whole lot more a la Matthew McConaughey?

As a side note did you know that Christopher and Mariska each earn about $395,000 per episode? Ca-Ching!
