FALL & 'ORDER'
BRITNEY BABY BOBBLE ENDS IN 'L&O' MURDER
Adam Buckman[/i]
September 12, 2006 -- BRITNEY Spears and her husband are not going to like this.
On the season premiere of "Law & Order," a wannabe rapper - who happens to be married to a wealthy young starlet with a reputation for being careless with her newborn baby - becomes the prime suspect in the killing of an NYPD detective.
The episode - the 372nd in the series and titled "Fame" - ushers in the 17th season of "Law & Order" on Friday, Sept. 22, at 10 p.m. on NBC.
In the show, the would-be recording star, nicknamed J-Train (real name: Justin Smolka, played by Wayne Wilcox), and his famous wife, Sky Sweet (Barbara King), bear a number of similarities to Spears and her husband, Kevin Federline, who is derided by many as an unrepentant moocher who married Britney for her fame and money.
The show - a copy of which was obtained by The Post - has Britney/Sky complaining about paparazzi who photographed her dropping her baby in Central Park and, at another time, photographing the baby when Sky left her in the car alone for a few minutes while she ran into a coffee shop for a frappuccino.
Plotlines on "Law & Order" have long been "inspired" by real-life newspaper stories, but for this episode, gossip columns evidently served as source material.
In one scene, The Post's Page Six is referenced when Sky complains that she's too tired to talk to the police because her baby has been keeping her up all night. A detective replies by citing a Page Six story that said Sky had been out partying every night.
Despite occasional references to real newspaper columns, every episode of "Law & Order" - including this one - carries the disclaimer, posted right at the beginning, that states, "The following story is fictional and does not depict any actual person or event."
And it is true that Federline - nickname: K-Fed - has never been accused of murdering anyone, much less a policeman.
He has been accused of murdering a number of rap lyrics, however. And in this episode of "Law & Order," J-Train is arrested by Det. Ed Green (Jesse L. Martin) and his new partner, Det. Nina Cassady (Milena Govich), right after recording a verse of rap that is so obscene it cannot be reprinted here (although it is apparently suitable for airing on NBC).
Besides examining the relationship between celebrities and the press, the episode introduces the Cassady character and a new assistant district attorney, Consuela "Connie" Rubirosa (played by Alana De La Garza of "CSI: Miami").
