And Emmy makes three! Amy Poehler has yet another reason to celebrate this summer. In addition to her lead actress nomination for her portrayal of quirky government official Leslie Knope on NBC’s “Parks and Recreation,” she and her husband, Will Arnett, are expecting the arrival of their second child next month (their first son, Archie, turns 2 in October). Poehler talks with THR’s Leslie Bruce about the nomination, her dream role and her plans to get post-baby red-carpet ready.

THR: If you could step into the character of any of your fellow lead actress nominees, comedy or drama, who would it be and why?

Poehler: Mariska Hargitay from “Law & Order: SVU.” First of all, I would just like to step into Mariska’s body. She and (co-star Christopher) Meloni were shooting in New York the other day and I waddled past them, all pregnant, and they looked so badass. Mariska had a badass, well-tailored pantsuit on with a very visible gun. I want to wear a very tight pantsuit with a visible gun and lean over, and whisper in a perp’s face, “You aren’t allowed to hurt those little girls anymore.” That’s what I want to do. I really want to rough up a perp.

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. — July 21, 2010 — Actress Paula Patton (”Precious”) will be joining the cast of “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” for a multi-episode stint as ADA Mikka Von, it was announced today by Creator and Executive Producer Dick Wolf.

Patton, who was nominated for multiple honors including the SAG Award (ensemble), NAACP Image Award (Supporting Actress) and the Critics Choice Award (ensemble) for her role as Ms. Blu Rain in the Oscar winning film “Precious,” will play a charming and savvy ADA who works with the Special Victims Unit on the Wolf Films/Universal Media Studios series, entering its 12th season on NBC.

“Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” premieres September 22 in a new time period, Wednesdays at 9:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on NBC.

“When I saw Paula Patton give that terrific performance in the multi-Oscar nominated Precious, I knew she’d be perfect for SVU’s new Assistant District Attorney — she’s funny, warm and witty with a penchant for justice. And it happened. She’s starting in episode five. How cool is that?” executive producer Neal Baer said.

Patton is currently filming Sony’s Jumping the Broom and other credits include the feature films “Just Wright, Dj Vu and Swing Vote.
