Daniel Day-Lewis will live rough, break bones and work through pneumonia to get inside his characters. It may be absurd, he says, but then, he's in an absurd business. He talks about his latest film, Nine
The Daniel Day-Lewis interview is set for Friday and then it's set for Saturday. It's at 3.30pm; it's at 1.15pm; it may not happen at all. Inside the swish London hotel, the press handlers are all hunched over their clipboards while Italian journalists keep tripping over TV cables in the corridor.

Oscar and Emmy nominee Lena Olin will guest-star on an episode of "Law & Order: Svu" later this season.
Olin will play the attorney for a billionaire (Richard Burgi of "Desperate Housewives") who becomes entangled in a kidnapping case in the episode, NBC says. Russell G.
