MURDERING MARISKA!

SVU killing Hargitay character because star makes too much

- 

BELOVED TV cop Mariska Hargitay is being given the bum’s rush after 25 years on Law & Order: SVU, according to insiders who blame heartless bean counters determined to dump her fat, $500,000-per-episode paychecks in the wake of rising costs fueled by the recent actors’ and writers’ strikes!

Incredibly, cheapskate bigwigs offered to keep Mariska — who built the crime show’s huge popularity — if she agreed to a massive pay cut, insiders dish.
