Huguette Clark, a 104-year-old copper heiress, reportedly passed away this morning at Beth Israel Medical Center, where she's lived for the past two decades. With her advisers still under investigation for plundering her fortune, this is a Law & Order episode waiting to happen.

Think whatever you want about NBC's Law & Order franchise. I know it has its adherents. But I think it's a gross, stupidly written collection of shows that passes off profound human suffering as casual entertainment. Every time I accidentally stumble onto it, some five-year-old is playing with Legos and describing how…

Well, it seems that not even a return from a four-month hiatus following a massive round of retooling could spark much interest in the West Coast edition of Law & Order.

Deadline reports that NBC has canceled their 20-years-running mainstay Law & Order, one year shy of a primetime record. No comment from NBC yet. Mostly this would be terrible for New York theater actors, cutting paying gigs by a third!
