SORT OF LIKE CASTING JASON LEWIS TO APPEAL TO THE STRAIGHT MALE DEMOGRAPHIC: L&O: Criminal Intent is losing its current female lead, Julianne Nicholson, for a time this fall due to maternity leave. The president of USA Network (the new owner of CI) thinks that her network has of late been "a little too focused on guys," and so she's looking to create strong lead female characters for USA's shows.

Um, Alicia Witt.
