Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Chris Meloni wouldn't mind at all if Dets. Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler finally acted on their hot L&O: SVU chemistry. Meloni told TV Guide magazine, "I'd like to see Benson and Stabler get together...but I can’t let that happen. Mariska [Hargitay] and I have been a wonderful, solid married couple now for 10 years—we see each other more than our families. It's just nice to get a different dynamic in there every once in a while." As for his ongoing contract negotiations, Meloni said, "I wish I could enlighten, and I'm not being coy about it, but I really don't have anything to say." Do you think SVU can survive without Chris and Mariska at the helm?

American Idol: Simon Cowell discussed the Idol lineup of judges on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and said, "I think certainly next year everyone's going to be back...Absolutely." Do you want to see more of Kara DioGuardi?

The Office: We're still obsessed with this promo for Thursday's new ep of The Office. OK, fine, Pam says, "We're getting married today," but what does it mean?!

James in New London, Conn.: What can you tell us about Lie to Me? Is it coming back? What's up for the finale?

We caught up with the show's main man, Tim Roth, today, and he says that a season two pickup is not only "looking good," but there's also a chance that his real-life pal Jennifer Beals might just stick around to continue playing his ex-wife, Zoe. "I think there's probably every chance. I hope so. I think she's fantastic, and I think there's room to really expand on that character and expand on their relationship, so I hope that's the case," he says. Whether that means reconciliation for the onscreen exes is another thing. There's always the chemistry between him and Kelli Williams' character. "That is an element, definitely," he says. "It comes up a little bit more in the season finale [on May 13]. The possibility is a little stronger in that one. Yeah, that seems to be in the wind."
