Last night was the official opening of the new Hearst tower, the green and glassy behemoth on Eighth Avenue. Pretty much every media power player was in attendance: Oprah, Martha Stewart, Dan Rather, Katie Couric (awkward!), Governor Pataki, and...Christopher Meloni? Sure, the actor might not carry much weight in the media world, but Cathie Black just LURVES Law & Order: SVU. Seriously, she can't get enough!
