Recently, photographers caught up with the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit dynamo as she and co-star Christopher Meloni filmed scenes for their hit series. The pair were both hard at work in New York City’s Central Park, a familiar location setting for the Big Apple-based series.

Although fans have to make do with SVU repeats for now, new episodes kick back in next week at 10pm EST on Tuesday, January 6. First up is another gritty outing called “Stranger.”

The episode focuses on Benson and Stabler’s investigation of a teenager with multiple identities who shows back up at home after going missing for four years. She eventually reveals she was held hostage as a sex slave during her ordeal, which leads the detectives to try and track down her abductor. In the process, they begin to suspect something is very fishy about the girl’s absence and even who she really is.

Sounds intense. Until then, enjoy the following photos of Mariska (and one of her with Christopher) looking as radiant as ever. There’s no denying it — she’s got some of the best genes and one of the loveliest smiles in the business!

Photos after the jump…

Goodness! Look at ‘em go!

That’s Blake Lively and Leighton Meester tearing each other apart … and then giggling in between takes later.

The pics at left and after the jump were snapped of the two Gossip Girl stars while they were filming a fight scene on-set recently in Brooklyn, New York.

Who do you think would win if the actresses and/or characters got into it in real life? I’d put my money on Blake/Serena due to to her height advantage. But then again, Leighton/Blair looks like she could be pretty sly if pushing came to shoving and slapping and punching and whatnot.

Either way, do these photos not make you even more excited to see the new season? Lots of additional girl-fight goodness follows the jump. I hope nobody got hurt during the fake fisticuffs — or, more accurately, extensive hair pulling and strangling.

This time, onlookers — or should I say gawkers in some cases (read below) — got to enjoy the presence of lovely Lipstick star Lindsay Price (Victory Ford), who was decked out in her best Madonna-inspired gear.

I’m all for the black camisole, short flouncy skirt, and fishnet stockings. But what was up with those shoes?! I can only hope she was traveling between locations or else Victory suffers a foot injury in whatever episode was being filmed.

Take a look at a handful of snaps after the jump featuring Lindsay in character on the streets of Manhattan. I absolutely love the first two shots. And somebody should have told that guy in the green shirt on the left side of the last photo to close his mouth and stop drooling.

Yes, Lindsay’s gorgeous, but control yourself! (Okay — he probably didn’t realize his picture was getting taken, which makes his expression even funnier actually. Busted!)

Of course, they’re in character as Bree and Orson while shooting some scenes for the upcoming fifth season of Desperate Housewives in Pasadena, California, though. And just look at all the preparation it took to get to that point!

(Simply follow the jump…)

It was Poppy time in New York City recently when photographers spied Australian actress and Without a Trace star Poppy Montgomery doing some outside filming for her hit CBS series. Poppy has played brave FBI Agent Samantha Spade on the crime drama since 2002, of course, and in real life she’s now playing mommy to her son Jackson Phillip Deveraux Kaufman, who was born last December.

The photos demonstrate that, unlike too many celebs and actresses, Poppy knows a healthy female body must have some meat and curves. I’ve always loved the fact that she’s not sickly skinny, and I hope she keeps it that way.

Yes, Grrl TV loves Poppy because she’s a talented real woman who looks like real women, and we also love that her birth name is — get ready for it — Poppy Petal Emma Elizabeth Deveraux Donahue. Goodness! Where in the world did Montgomery come from? (It’s her mother’s maiden name, just so you know I know).

Pictures of Poppy follow the jump, along with a couple of her co-star Eric Close (FBI Agent Martin Fitzgerald), also out filming, because I think he’s just fabulous to look at. And he’s working that car door, too, isn’t he?

All of the photos feature Bell, who plays troubled Elle Bishop, and her equally lethal costar Jack Coleman, better known as H.R.G. and Noah Bennet.

Take a look after the jump. The pair appears to arrive outside a building together, luggage in tow, get into an argument, and then split up, with an exasperated Elle/Bell ultimately catching a cab.

I’m surprised she doesn’t zap him with a few thousand volts of electricity. Or maybe the special effects department will add that part in later.

I think this is where Nico and Kirby (Nirby? Kico?) fans can exclaim, “Awww! Don’t they look so cute together!”

Mariska’s co-star Christopher Meloni (Detective Elliot Stabler) was working, as well, and his scenes feature the episode’s other big guest star, Beverly Hills, 90210 alum Luke Perry, who is clearly so busted in one of the photos after the jump.

The guest stars portray the foster parents of an abused child whose biological mother is played by Sara Gilbert (Roseanne). Catch the episode when it opens the show’s tenth season on Tuesday, September 23, at 10pm EST.

Photographers snapped the photos following the jump of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit star Mariska Hargitay (Detective Olivia Benson) shooting on location in New York City’s Meatpacking District. Lucky us, we also get to see guest star Julie Bowen, currently of Showtime’s Weeds, appearing in a couple of shots alongside Mariska.

Geesh! Both women are obviously gorgeous, but 44-year-old Mariska looks absolutely stunning, doesn’t she? I love the last snap, too — Mariska, Julie, and Mariska’s co-star Christopher Meloni (Detective Elliot Stabler) look thrilled to call it a wrap. I’ve no doubt the filming was a job well done.

Incidentally, Bowen plays the wife of Luke Perry’s (Beverly Hills, 90210) character, both foster parents to an abused child whose biological mother is played by Roseanne alumna Sara Gilbert. The star-studded episode will serve as the hit crime drama’s tenth-season premiere when it airs on Tuesday, September 23, at 10pm EST.

Now on to the photos…

There’s no way to know what’s going on during the scenes just by studying the photos, but the images clearly show that Wendy is pissed. Actually, she appears either shocked or disgusted at first and then pissed.

How pissed is she? Well, just look at David Alan Basche’s character Mike Harness struggling to keep up in the later snaps. I can’t wait to find out exactly what’s going down in those scenes, but we’ll all have to wait until September 24 when the sophomore season premieres.

Until then, follow the jump to get a load of Brooke in action.
