'Southland' Lives To Fight Crime Another Day

The Los Angeles-based cop drama hoping to replace the scheduling hole left by ER has recently discovered that it will be returning for a second season. NBC has ordered 13 episodes of the series, starring young hottie Benjamin McKenzie.

Ben's all grown up these days, having graduated from the hard knock tween existence on The O.C. into the role of Office Ben Sherman.

For whatever reason, I just can't get enough of crime dramas lately. I'm still a little sad that FOX has yet to produce the police show I'm most dying to see, which is Hot Cops, as a spinoff from Arrested Development that I just no conceived in my head. Isn't it the best when instinct kicks in?

Benjamin McKenzie's Cop Show 'Southland' Replaces 'ER'

Well hello there, Officer Young N. Brooding.

O.C. star Benjamin McKenzie is all grown up and enforcing the law and stuff. His new show, Southland, has the tween starring as a police officer and the series will be taking the place of longtime series ER.

The drama will focus on a police unit in downtown Los Angeles, specifically centering on McKenzie's character. And yes, it will be a gritty crime drama, but we're guessing there will be plenty of opportunity for Benjamin to get all TV heartthrob on us.

Mickey Rourke Has Wrestled Himself Back Into An Acting Career

Look at me and my punny title. But seriously, Mickey Rourke's had a rough couple of decades and even though we might tease him for looking deranged and sexually confused, we really are rooting for the guy, whose critically acclaimed film The Wrestler just premiered in Los Angeles with real fake wrestler Roddy Piper in attendance.

I got to feeling nostalgic and went on YouTube to see old clips of Mickey from back when he was young and frisky and holy hell, he was hot. Definitely shady in a "you really should head straight to the free clinic immediately after we do it" sort of way, but still, he had his charms and I'm hoping this awards season treats him well.

Marissa Tomei was rocking a hot electric blue dress, looking gorgeous. She apparently plays a stripper in the film and the last thing I need is to be taking my boyfriend to see a movie where she's working the pole. I bet she's a regular at those damn S-Factor classes that I wish had never been invented. Still, I might have to go check this joint out. The trailer looks good.

Featured in the gallery: Mickey Rourke, Evan Rachel Wood, Jared Leto, Darren Aronofsky, Darius McCary, Roddy Piper, 50 Cent, Ciara Marisa Tomei, Edie McClurg, Lisa Rinna, Harry Hamilin, Maggie Grace, Benjamin McKenzie, Bai Ling, Rachel Weisz, Jimmy Jean Louis and Chazz Palminteri.
