Jennifer Love Hewitt Signs on For Law & Order: SVU

The deal is all but signed!  She might be single and she might not have her own show… but Jennifer Love Hewitt is about to sign on for a role on Law & Order: SVU.  Mariska Hargitay’s character, Olivia Benson is going to get a promotion on the show and Hewitt is going to fill that spot.

Mariska Hargitay Adopts Baby Girl

Mariska has made it clear that she’s going to be cutting back on her hours… and that is obviously happening but she’s keeping her salary in tact.  This being said, she’s got her deal for the 13th season locked in.  On the other hand, Christopher Meloni has not signed on.  He wants a raise and NBC is cheap as hell, so we know this is going totake a bit to clear up.  I don’t think they will let him go though.

What do you think of Jennifer Love Hewitt joining the cast?  Good things?
