Watching House

On May 1st, there will be a special online auction over seven days for five specially autographed tees. One tee will be autographed by the whole cast, one cast photo signed by the whole cast, one House Season One DVD signed by Hugh Laurie, one House Season Two DVD signed by Hugh Laurie and one original House script signed by the entire cast.

To bid on one of these awesome items - or to win me one - go House Charity Tees.

I came across some halarious pictures of Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein modeling the “Everybody Lies” shirts for the House charities. What a great way to start the weekend! Enjoy!

He’s got that modeling pose down pat!

Looks like Lisa’s tearing her jacket off! I bet House wished Cuddy would do that!

I think Tyra Banks has been giving them lessons on how to walk down a catwalk!

There’s a new T-shirt available that has one of the best known House-ism right smack dab in the middle of it. “Everbody Lies” is emblazoned on these t-shirts. The nice thing about these t’s is that unless the person you’re talking to is a House fan, they won’t know what’s up with your shirt! It’s a great conversation starter AND a way to discover who has House in common!

The most awesome thing, however, is that all of the proceeds from this shirt go to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). Just one more reason to love House. I’m putting this shirt on my Christmas list!

Hi! My name is Randi and I’ll be taking over the House site for awhile. All you really need to know about me is that I have a *minor* house obsession…as in if I don’t get my weekly fix of House I get really, REALLY cranky!

Last year my best friend kept telling me that there was this amazing show I had to watch -

“It’s called House, and the Dr. is amazing. He’s exactly what I would be like if I were a male!”

Being that my best friend is one of the most outspoken and opinionated people that I have ever had the opportunity to meet, I wasn’t sure if I would like the show, so I ignored it.

Finally, this past fall, she talked me into watching the season premiere of House.

When he went over to the “paralyzed” girl and lit a lighter under her foot to prove that she was “faking” (which she really wasn’t), I knew I was hooked. That a doctor would do that is amazing. I immediately stole her Season 1 DVD and for two weeks lived and breathed House while I caught up.

Now it is set permanently on my DVR, and will remain there for as long as the show goes on!

I’ll have some thoughts later about what direction I think the show is going, where I hope it will go, and House Fanatics (of which I am proudly one)!

Until then, if there’s anything you want me to do some research or posts on, just let me know!

Airborne - originally aired Tuesday April, 10th, 2007, Season 3

It looks like they decided to really shake things up this episode placing House and Cuddy on a plane and leaving Wilson to direct the team on a hospital related case …

An older woman at her home, Fran, answers the door and greets Robin, a younger woman working for an “agency.� Robin quotes her a price of $1,000, satisfaction guaranteed, and when Fran goes to get the money and finds her cat up on the shelf, Robin slips into a slinky dress. Fran starts to get dizzy then collapses and Robin is unable to wake her up. She grabs the money then calls an ambulance.

Man - don’t get sick … I promised a recap for Wednesday and look how long it’s been. I’m sorry!

Ok here goes …

Fetal Position Originally aired: Tuesday April 3, 2007 on FOX, Season Three

Emma, a pregnant photographer arrives at a photo shoot for rock star Tyson Ritter, but she can’t read the writing on a prop chalk board. She’s starts slurring her speech and says she’s having a stroke before passing out.

Cut to the hospital where House visits Emma, who is lying in her hospital bed. He runs some tests and determines her kidneys have shut down, and resolves to find the underlying cause of the stroke. Emma is interested in taking photos of House, and the staff is interested in House’s photo. House has the staff run tests to determine if she has a clot in her heart, while he discusses his vacation plans, and Cameron wonders why House didn’t say anything about seeing her and Chase together. They confirm House’s diagnoses and prepare to put in a balloon to clear the clot.

I normally have a nice recap of the latest House episode waiting for you when you visit the site on Wednesdays, but this time I’m afraid I ran into technical difficulties.

Yes I saw the episode, but I was taping it on my PVR at the same time as I watched the show. My PVR messed up the recording. I managed to find a later showing of House and I’ve taped that with my fingers crossed.

I like to watch an episode once and get a general impression. Then I play it again as I write up the recap. The episode I taped was playing quite late. I’ll review it sometime early today and post the recap of the episode when I’m done.

Sorry about that folks. Please come back later in the day?

I was reading an article on PR-Inside that said that our favorite grumpy TV doctor, Hugh Laurie, hates having his photos taken by paparazzi. Why? Well it seems that he feels that each photo that’s taken steals a little bit of his soul.

We know that Laurie has been struggling lately with the fact that he’s stuck in L.A. filming his hit show while his wife and children continue to live in England. He misses his family and I would image that being apart for long stretches would stress even the best of marriages.

Now, we are also learning that along with the personal stress that his growing fame has put on his marriage and personal life, he also hates the idea of other people poring over images of him.

Aw Hugh, we do that because you are such a talented actor. It also doesn’t hurt that you are ruggedly good looking.

Laurie explains “I have this weird superstition about the camera stealing part of your soul… If the photographer has something, you must have lost something. The idea that any image of you will be looked at and distributed and pored over and commented on is depressing. You feel intruded upon.”

Well that does make sense. I know some people don’t care if their picture is taken or what happens with the photo after it’s been taken, but I’m one of those people that really doesn’t care to have my picture taken either. Funny isn’t it that I used to do extra work in films and commercials and acted on stage, yet I too hate my photo being taken?

Unfortunately for Hugh, with fame comes camera shots and tons of images. Out of courtesy to Mr. Laurie I will not post an image of him in this article.

How do you feel about your photo being taken?
