Most of television's crime dramas get their plots from current headlines, and NBC's 'Law & Order' is no exception. This time they are pilfering the news for Anna Nicole Smith's recent death.

Playing the fictionalized Anna Nicole will be film has-been and recent 'Skating With the Stars' alum Kristy Swanson, and her cohort in crime Howard K. Stern will be Jon Lovitz, of Saturday Naight Live fame. A character based loosely on Anna's mom Virgie Arthur and her half-sister Donna Hogan will also be included, while Larry Birkhead's role supposedly isn't being included.

The episode will air on 'Law & Order: Criminal Intent' in May.
