Here's a fun game: A long-overdue Marvin Gaye biopic is finally in the works; who plays Marvin?

One caveat: No picking Rent's Jesse L Martin, because he's already been cast in a competing Gaye biopic that seems to have fizzled into nothingness. We say it should either be Wood Harris from The Wire, or, if he's up to it, John Legend.

Jesse L Martin, aka Detective Ed Green, last night appeared in his final episode of Law & Order, the gradually worsening drama in which he starred for nine wonderful seasons. His swan song revealed that the famously squeaky-clean Green had a secret history of violence and gambling addiction, and the narrative was pretty good until the kind-of-corny deus ex machina spoiled the ending. Since so many of you weirdos tape television now, we won't tell you what happens, but do give it a look.

ED GREEN IS DEAD? "'Law & Order' veteran Jesse L. Martin is expected to leave the long-running NBC drama after nine years. Anthony Anderson is in final negotiations to come on board and fill the void left by Martin's departure."

"…ESPECIALLY HEINOUS. IN NEW YORK CITY…" They're filming Law & Order right outside Jossip's offices! Someone put their hands on me and said, "You can't go that way." I objected! Objection sustained.

Later, a co-editor heard, "It’s that black guy." Detective Green? Probably, but no visual proof.

Stabler, alas, nowhere to be seen.
