Recycled LL? That’s not cool

Sarah Palin’s new Fox News show will premiere tonight without a planned segment featuring LL Cool J.

The debut episode of “Real American Stories,” a series profiling inspirational Americans, was originally set to include a clip of the rapper/actor.

But he complained that the network was reusing a 2-year-old interview he did for a previously planned series of the same name.

“Fox lifted an old interview I gave in 2008 to someone else and are misrepresenting to the public in order to promote Sarah Palin’s show,” LL Cool J, starring in CBS’ “NCIS: Los Angeles,” posted on Twitter. “WOW.”

The network replied in a statement Wednesday: “(A)s it appears that Mr. Smith does not want to be associated with a program that could serve as an inspiration to others, we are cutting his interview from the special and wish him the best with his fledgling acting career.”

“SVU,” s’il vous plait

Isabelle Huppert is poised to join the ranks of acclaimed French actresses who have graced “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit.”

Huppert is expected to guest star in the season finale as the mother of a kidnapped child.

Her career’s going uphill

Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn is thrilled about her upcoming bit part on the “Law & Order” season finale.

“How many people get to appear on their favorite TV show?” she says.

Vonn will play an administrative assistant with a vital clue in a terrorism case.
