No airdate has been set for the proposed episode.

The 40-year-old actor –best known for his role as Sayid Jarrah on the ABC series – will begin shooting his scenes in the next week in New York, according to TV Guide.

Details of Naveen’s role are still under wraps, but his episode is scheduled to air in January 2010.

Next Friday’s episode was inspired by the headline-grabbing parents and their child armies, Law & Order Executive Producer Rene Balcer told Access Hollywood on Tuesday.

In the episode, a family patterned after The Gosselins,of TLC’s Jon & Kate Plus 8 fame, battle it out with a single mama of multiples created in the image of real-life foe Nadya Suleman.

“Two families with multiple kids [compete] to land a reality TV contract,” Balcer says. “Out of that, a murder occurs and then, as the episode goes on, suddenly our lawyers get roped into the reality TV show…..It’s sort of inspired by the phenomenon — shows about multiples,” he explains.

“There’s lots of kids. There’s …Oh God, I don’t know if we hit 20, but we come pretty close.”

Wentworth Miller — formerly of Prison Break — will make a guest appearance on the upcoming eleventh season premiere of the NBC crime drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

Wentworth makes his SVU debut on September 23.

Wentworth Miller will make a guest appearance on the upcoming eleventh season of the NBC crime drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.

(Let’s hope he takes his shirt off!)

The British-born actor, who played Michael Schofield in the now-defunct FOX series Prison Break, has been cast as NYPD Officer Nate Kendal — a hero cop who rescues a rape victim, TV Guide Magazine is reporting.

Wentworth Miller will appear on the season premiere of Law & Order: SVU, airing September 23 @ 9PM on NBC.

The stars of the show, who had been in a pay dispute with network bosses, signed new deals to remain on the show as Detective Olivia Benson and Detective Elliot Stablerfor two more years, Entertainment Weekly reported on Monday.

Mariska Hargitay reveals what caused her to be hospitalized twice with a partially collapsed lung earlier this year.

“I’ve been doing my own stunts on the show for 10 years. I fell wrong, basically. I collapsed my lung doing a stunt,” the Emmy-winning star of NBC’s Law & Order: SVU told People.com at a dinner in Manhattan for the American Ballet Theater on Monday.

After her second hospital stay in March, Mariska says she’s as good as new. “I’m 100 percent,” she told added. “I’m back to my old self.”

Check out this preview of next week’s episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, entitled “Selfish,” which features guest appearances by Hilary Duff and Gail O’Grady.

When a child goes missing, her irresponsible young mother (Duff) becomes the prime suspect. The “Ripped From The Headlines” storyline was inspired by the murder of Caylee Anthony, the Florida toddler whose 22-year-old mother has been accused of killing her.

Oh no! NBC is threatening to replace Mariska Hargitay and Chris Meloni on the beloved crime drama Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, industry insiders revealed to MSNBC on Wednesday. We hear the stars have become locked in a bitter contract dispute with the network after demanding a raise; Meloni and Hargitay already earn $350,000 per episode for their roles as Manhattan’s stylish crime fighting twosome Benson and Stabler.

MSNBC wrote on Wednesday:
Last week, NBC closed a deal with L&O boss Dick Wolf for an 11th season of “SVU” — which, at 10.5 million viewers, remains the Peacock’s No. 1 scripted show. That opened the door to a new round of negotiations with the stars, whose $350K-per-episode contracts will expire in May. Yet a source close to the matter said talks stalled when the duo — who, like in their previous negotiations, are banding together — attempted to go after back-end profits, a perk that’s almost never granted in the L&O universe (although exceptions were made for Vincent D’Onofrio and Chris Noth).

Television tattles doubt SVU producers will make good on their threat to drop the show’s two lead actors, particularly since the Benson and Stabler characters’ chemistry has an intricate subplot of the show.

“I don’t think in this environment, there’s any chance they could re-launch the show with both of them gone,” says a high-ranking exec at a rival network. “It’s a horrible time to retool a show. They already have to change the time-slot, because it’s not going to be airing at 10 pm next season….”
