Helena Bonham Carter and partner Tim Burton live in separate houses but are still very much a couple, she attempted to explain to a bemused Jay Leno on 'The Tonight Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC). "We do visit each other," she quipped.

He asked whether they slept in separate bedrooms in those respective homes. Well, they have two children together, so obviously not all the time. But "he snores and I ... talk in my sleep," Carter said. Leno asked if her sleep-talking made any sense. "Apparently ... I use long words. He has a dictionary by his bed," she joked.

This season, Law and Order was looking for a way to get some new energy and interest in the long-running NBC Emmy-winning series, so on the judicial end of the show, they promoted Sam Waterson's Jack McCoy to DA and cast Linus Roache as Assistant District Attorney Michael Cutter. Roache is one of those familiar faces that you've seen on other shows, maybe a movie or two, but here on Law and Order he's making you sit up and take notice. At least that's how it is for me. After watching the first two new episodes when the show returned recently, I wanted to know more about this guy. For starters, why did he remind me of a young Bobby Kennedy?

Well, it turns out that Linus Roache played Robert Kennedy in the mini-series, RFK. The Kennedy connection was even alluded to in last week's episode; at the end of the show, after McCoy had to defend his decision to prosecute overzealous New York City cops by taking the stand in open court, Roache's character, Cutter, gives him a tie pin that once belonged to RFK. With the last line of the show, Cutter says, "I found it on EBay."
