Law & Order: SVU star admits he had NO clue who Sabrina Carpenter was when she guest starred on show
'[She] was actually on Law & Order when she was a kid. I actually did scenes with her,' the 67-year-old rapper-actor recalled to Us Weekly on Saturday.
'I didn't know who she was, but now they're like, "You don't know you were in a scene with Sabrina Carpenter?" I'm like, "Okay, cool. Got it, got it, got it." But now, she's a superstar. Obviously, she was a great actress.'
The 26-year-old pop star was only 11 when she portrayed child pornography/sex-trafficking victim Paula in season 12, episode 12 - titled 'Possessed' - who gets interviewed by Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) in her two-minutes of screen time.
Ice-T (born Tracy Marrow) and his wife of 23 years - Nicole 'Coco' Austin - share nine-year-old daughter Chanel Nicole Marrow, who's a fan of Sabrina's.
'Chanel likes Carpenter,' the Grammy-winning gangsta rap icon noted.

'I don't have any ins in her world. All my ins [are] already her uncles and aunts [from Law & Order: SVU]. I think we took her to see Olivia Rodrigo. She likes her [and] she likes Billie Eilish.'
Last month, NBC renewed the long-running police procedural for a 27th season, so fans will get to see a lot more from Ice-T's NYPD Sergeant Odafin 'Fin' Tutuola.
The dimpled hip-hop star is scheduled to perform at Reggie's Rock Club in Chicago next Saturday.
The Manchild hitmaker got her first break starring in the Disney Channel shows Disney Fairies, Sofia the First, and Girl Meets World before moving on to Orange Is the New Black and Girl Meets World.
Sabrina also got a leg up in the industry thanks to her being the nepotistically-privileged niece of The Simpsons star Nancy Cartwright.
Carpenter divided audiences with the new controversial cover for her upcoming seventh studio album Man's Best Friend - dropping August 29 - which features her provocatively kneeling beside a man with a fistful of her hair.
'I'm living in the glory of no one hearing it or knowing about it, and so I can not care. I can not give a f*** about it, because I'm just so excited,' the two-time Grammy winner told Rolling Stone last Thursday.
'It wasn't written from a place of "How do I one-up myself?" or "How do I re-create something else?" It fed me, and it fed a lot of other people in the world.
'It felt true to me, and it felt authentic to a lot of other people. It's rare that those line up ever, let alone more than once. It unlocked my brain to know myself more and more.'

Sabrina is next scheduled to resume her $33.2M-grossing, 72-date Short n' Sweet Tour on July 5-6 at Hyde Park in London.
Carpenter has been a singer for the last decade, but her career got a major boost in 2023 while serving opening duties for Taylor Swift.
The Pennsylvania-born blonde bombshell - who gets 65.1M monthly listeners on Spotify - originally taught herself how to play piano and guitar with YouTube tutorials.

Ellen DeGeneres supports Rosie O'Donnell after Donald Trump threatens to revoke her citizenship
Ellen DeGeneres showed her support for Rosie O'Donnell, whose U.S. citizenship was put under threat. On Saturday, President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social: 'Because of the fact that Rosie O'Donnell is not in the best interests of our great country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her citizenship. She is a threat to humanity, and should remain in the wonderful country of Ireland, if they want her. God bless America!' On Sunday, Ellen shared the president's post and gave a shout-out to the 63-year-old comedian: 'Good for you @rosie.' Ironically, Ellen and Rosie have never shared more in common, being former TV titans who both left the U.S. following Trump's re-election last November. The show of support happened months after Rosie accused Ellen of never saying 'anything political in her life'. Rosie told Us Weekly: 'I've never really known Ellen to say anything political in her life, so I was surprised to read that she left because of President Trump. Like, that shocked me, actually. I've been a political person my whole life, not better or worse, it's just a different way to be in the world. I was very clear about the reason why I was leaving.' 'It's not like we're tenaciously opposed to each other. We're just very different people. We have had some stuff in the past that we never resolved. And not in any way as, as partners or lovers or anything like that, just as friends and comedians, but I wish her the best. I seriously do.' Reaction: Ellen shared the president's post and gave a shout-out to the comedian Rosie's 'past' comment was referring to when Ellen told Larry King that she didn't know Rosie and was not her friend, which deeply upset her because they were close in the nineties. 'Ellen wrote in a text, "I'm really sorry and I don't remember that,"' Rosie said in 2023, adding: 'It would never occur to me to say "I don't know her" about somebody whose babies I held when they were born. It wouldn't be in my lexicon of choices to ever say. When she was in a perplexing situation and people were saying things about her, I said, "Let me stand next to you and say that I'm Lebanese, too". When it was a downward media time for me, she didn't do anything.' Ellen is reportedly 'never coming back' to the States after moving to a farmhouse in the Cotswolds, England where she and her wife Portia de Rossi are raising chickens and goats. Career end: Ellen notoriously got 'kicked out of show business for being mean' after her former self-titled daytime talk show ended following 19 seasons after being hit with racism, workplace bullying, and sexual harassment claims in 2022 Meanwhile, Rosie and her child Dakota 'Clay' O'Donnell are getting used to life in Dublin, Ireland and she's 'in the process' of getting Irish citizenship. In response to Donald's latest diss, Rosie shared four posts on Saturday. She said: 'Hey Donald, you're rattled again? 18 years later and I still live rent-free in that collapsing brain of yours. 'You are everything that is wrong with America, and I'm everything you hate about what's still right with it. You want to revoke my citizenship? Go ahead and try, King Joffrey with a tangerine spray tan. I'm not yours to silence. I never was.' Reaction: In response to Trump's latest diss, Rosie spoke out on Instagram on Saturday Rosie also called Trump a 'mentally ill, untreated criminal' and 'a sexual-abusing liar out to harm our nation to serve himself'. She continued: 'This is why I moved to Ireland. 'He is a dangerous old soulless man with dementia who lacks empathy, compassion, and basic humanity. 'I stand in direct opposition all he represents - so do millions of others. [Are you going to] deport all who stand against [your] evil tendencies? [You're] a bad joke who can't form a coherent sentence.'

The British singer-songwriter, 34, was open-mouthed with delight as she watched the action unfold at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, near New York. Fist bumping with happiness, Rita cut a casually stylish figure in a black and pink silk scarf, which she accessorised with a pair of gold hoop earrings and a necklace. The star kept her eyes protected as she watched the action unfold with a pair of black sunglasses, opting to wear her long hair down for the event. She was described as the team's human lucky charm by her photographer friend Rosie Matheson, who shared the star's celebrations on Instagram. Following the victory, the boys in blue were presented with the World Cup trophy by President Donald Trump. The British singer-songwriter, 34, was open-mouthed with delight as she watched the action unfold at the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey However, they looked confused when the president failed to leave the podium during their celebrations, with Cole Palmer appearing to ask, 'What is he doing?' Rita's appearance at the game came after she showcased her toned midriff in a skimpy white top as she travelled on the subway while exploring Brooklyn on Friday. The singer appeared to enjoy riding on the public transport around the New York City borough. For her outing she stepped out in a white sheer long-sleeved top which she layered over a matching bralette. She paired her top with some casual light blue low-cut flared jeans which she paired with black flip flops. Adding a hint of glamour, she toted around her belongings in a large black Hermes bag. To accessorise, the songstress wore a quirky mental ring and a pair of black tinted sunglasses. Alongside her Instagram post, she penned: 'Brooklyn Bridge 9pm.' Rita recently revealed how Beyoncé has always been her 'protector' as she discussed being hit by speculation that she was 'Becky with the good hair'. Beyoncé's smash hit 2016 album Lemonade featured poignant lyrics about cheating and she sang about the mysterious woman in her track Sorry. Fans widely speculated it referred to alleged infidelity by Beyoncé's husband Jay-Z with a woman called 'Becky', and theories began circulating online about her identity. Rita found herself at the centre of the rumours as she was wrongly accused of having an affair with Jay-Z, with the singer forced to hit back and deny the claims. Now, Rita - who was represented by Jay-Z's Roc Nation label at the time - revealed she was so upset by the claims because Beyoncé has always been her 'protector'.
