Watching House

The Australian Yahoo has an interesting story up now…they’ve got a story saying that Jennifer Morrison broke Jesse Spencer’s heart by bringing her new boyfriend onto the House set!

According to the story, Jesse had been trying to bring the romance back to life by wooing (I love that term) Jennifer back slowly but surely. The story goes on to say that Jennifer broke Jesse’s heart by showing up on the set with a new boyfriend!

According to the “source” (I love these anonymous sources…we should name them all “deepthroat”): “Jesse was completely taken aback to discover that Jennifer has a new man and he was visibly shocked when he clapped eyes on the guy. The fact that the guy Jen had with her was a very tall and handsome model-type just added to the obvious pain Jesse suffered after seeing them together. He’s an emotional guy so it’s no surprise that he would take the sighting pretty badly.”

Now this story has created some interesting discussion. The most interesting part being that the show hasn’t been being filmed in quite awhile, so this would’ve had to have happened a few months ago to make the story plausible, in which case, WHY has the story just surfaced?

I do believe that the two are split up, and that sooner than later we’ll see Jen with a new guy, but I tend to wonder about the reporter’s sources on this one….

STAR magazine has got a story up about different celebrities living with long distance relationships, and guess who’s one of the couples chosen? Hugh and Jo.

There’s just one problem - who’s that woman they’ve got next to Hugh? There is much debate going on about whether the woman in the photo is Jo or if it’s Hugh’s publicist!

For about an hour now, I’ve tried to discover if it truly is Hugh’s wife and she’s just lost a LOT of weight, or if it’s his publicist: one problem - I can’t figure out who his publicist is! I’ve got info on his agents, but no name on his publicist!! Anyone know? And what do you think…is this Jo after a lot of weight loss, or did Star get something wrong again (SHOCKING!)?

Earlier this morning I pointed out an article that discussed Hugh and his family spending their holidays in the Caribbean. Apparently the paparazzi followed them as well! Hugh and his kids were caught on camera by an enterprising paparazzi. While I’m a tiny bit upset by these, I’m not TOO mad, because they’re fairly grainy, which means that the paparazzi was using a long lens, so at least they were trying to let him and his family enjoy themselves. Even Brad Pitt has told the paparazzi that he doesn’t mind their taking photos of him, as long as they stay back and use a long lens.

There are those, however, who feel that showing these “private” photos of any of the cast is invading their privacy. I know you can’t make everyone happy all the time, but I’m going to at least try! I’m putting these photos under the “more” section, so that if you do not want to see them, you don’t have to - and for those that want to, enjoy!

Okay, sorry I’ve been absent for awhile - in our house, Christmas comes big, and it takes awhile to clean up and recover from it! Plus my husband has been home from work for a week AND we got a Wii, so we’ve been really busy - it’s all been fun, but definitely busy! I haven’t even sat down at the computer in days. I’ll do more research later to discover how everyone else spent their Christmas, but there’s a quick blurb about Hugh spending Christmas with his family in the Caribbean.

Why is it that celebrities go somewhere warm for the holidays? I live in Vermont, and a Christmas without snow just feels wrong! To see the whole story, head here.

I’ll do some more research today and try to discover what the rest of the crew has been up to this holiday season!

It seems as though the last debacle has caused two sides to form: those that believe that Vanessa has encroached upon the privacy of the Laurie family, and those that do not believe that line has been crossed. Many are wondering where, precisely, I stand. I’ve been trying to think what House would think, and House would have no problem with all of the observations. He would, however, be extremely intrigued to discover who Vanessa was, so that he could decide if she was a bored housewife who had too much time on her hands or an obsessed fan stalking her favorite actor. And how would Hugh feel?

I don’t know. It’s much easier to put yourself in the place of a fictional character, because you are given insight into their depths during the course of the story. House gives us the opportunity to learn who Dr. Gregory House is, so that we can easily anticipate (most of the time), how he will react. It is all too easy for us to begin to believe that our favorite actors are truly like the characters they portray. For instance, I always believed that Noah Wylie, from E.R., seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I began believing that he was just like his character was, and was shocked when I saw him play a bad guy in Strong Enough. He played a bad guy so convincingly that I was forced to look twice at his Dr. Carter character on E.R. to see how I could have misjudged the actor so much.

Hugh Laurie is, in my opinion, an actor’s actor. He can play a nice guy, or a not-so-nice guy. He can play a healthy soul, or a damaged one. He can pull off comedy just as well as he can pull off drama. I believe that his fame with House is still settling around him, and has yet to become comfortable. I believe that he’s one of the types of men who will never be comfortable with his fame. He acts for the sake of the art, not for the popularity like some of the new Hollywood twits we have to put up with.

So how would Hugh feel? I’m not sure - which is why I took the information down. I put it up mistakingly and did not mean to harm or anger anyone. As an apology, I dredged up this very, VERY high quality photo of Hugh shot by Matthew Ford. This photo, to me, shows just a few of the many, many sides of Hugh Laurie. If you’d like to see how large this photo is (and have high speed), click on it..it’s HUGE!

I will return tomorrow, having learned from my mistakes, and will keep searching out the best information about the show and all those associated with it.

Oh - and to the one person who has yet to receive her flame walking cane, I am so sorry. I have tried contacting the company that gave them to me and he has not answered…I greatly apologize that you did not receive your cane and take full reponsibility for it.

I want to apologize publicly to Vanessa. She was just trying to give me a few interesting tidbits and suddenly found herself being hounded by Hugh’s fans. I have taken down all of the information and hope that she will still visit the site to say “hello”.

Did a little digging today and look what I discovered?! THIRTEEN pages of Hugh Laurie pics! Some I’m sure you’ve seen before, but others are ones that have been rarely seen. This is one of my new favorites:

Want to see a bunch of pics? Head here - enter Hugh Laurie in the search box, choose your country (USA even if you’re somewhere else), and you’ll see tons of new pics!!

Enjoy!

Sorry I was absent yesterday guys - you know how life is! I live in Vermont, actually, and apparently there is a HUGE snow storm due here tomorrow, so you may not hear from me then, either, if it knocks my satellite out. Anyway, enough about me - here’s what’s going on in “Hugh” land!

You take the man out of Hollywood and he immediately starts looking British again! That’s alright, we love Hugh when he’s in his “brit” mode, don’t we? Hugh popped up at Covent Garden two nights ago wearing a beautiful, LONG jacket and a slight smile. Honestly, can you look more british than he does right here? I doubt it!

I’m going to guess that he’ll be home until after the New Year, so maybe we’ll get a few more shots of him hanging around in his homeland.

Meanwhile, Hush has had a reaction to being nominated for the Golden Globes - oh - wait - did I forget to mention that?! Well hang on tight, if you hadn’t heard, because we’re headed BACK to the Globes this year! Hopefully we’ll kick some butt! House was mentioned twice, for Best Drama and for Best Actor in a Drama Series - here are what the show is up against:

I’ve never seen any of the other shows, so I’m not sure how stiff the competition is - what do you guys think?

Anyway, here’s what Hugh had to say about being nominated as lead actor in a drama series: “I’m extremely honored to be included in such company. But now, especially now, I have to emphasize how much I owe to David Shore and all the writers on ‘House.’ Without them, I wouldn’t even know how to finish this sentence without….you know…”

Leave it to Hugh to bring the Writer’s Strike into the equation - it’s no wonder we love this man!!

Lisa Edelstein gave a great interview to Jewish Woman magazine recently - I love reading her interviews because she’s such an open book. There are some people, like my husband Scott who runs WWE Daily, that keep everything close to them. Lisa is very open and loves speaking about her life and her experiences. Here are a few excerpts from the great interview:

You were a live wire in the 1980s New York club scene, where you were dubbed “Queen of the Night.” What do you remember most about that time? Does the Queen live on today?

[laughs.] Does the Queen of the Night ever really die? Now I’m the queen of 4:30 in the morning, when I get up to practice yoga before I go to work. The people were really special to me during that time; there were a lot of phenomenal people of great talent whom no one will ever know. A lot of them died when AIDS first hit New York.

You turned 40 this year; did it feel like a milestone?

It certainly is a moment in your life where you reflect. One thing you realize is that there are ideas that you’re given by your parents about what life is supposed to look like, and then there’s the life you make for yourself, which doesn’t necessarily go in the same direction. I expected to have children by now but I don’t, and yet, the life I have is exactly what I wanted. In terms of desiring children, it’s hard to know if it’s your own desire as a woman, or if it’s cultural, or hormonal or physiological, some biological drive… I have a hard time finding “me” in all those things. I’ve decided if I end up not having a baby of my own and I still have this tremendous urge to be a mother, there are plenty of children who need mothers.

Pick a favorite on-screen boyfriend: Jason Alexander (on Seinfeld), James Spader (on The Practice), Ben Stiller (in Keeping the Faith) or Rob Lowe (on The West Wing).

The West Wing was a great moment in my life, because I was madly in love with Rob Lowe in high school. So it was one of those moments when you wish you could go back in time and show yourself what your life is going to look like. I was miserable in high school so it was such an achievement to find myself in bed, in my underwear, with Rob Lowe.

You are noted as often for your looks as you are for your talent. After a couple decades in show business, what sort of perspective have you gained on Hollywood beauty pressures?

It’s funny; I’ve never thought I was known for my looks. It’s a little weird, very flattering, but I’m the one who has to wake up and look at myself in the mirror every morning. I try to just enjoy the compliment and let it go as fast as I can, because everything changes. I want to age. I want to be an old lady. If I want to be an 80-year-old woman like my grandma Gertie was—and she was a fantastic woman—I have to be okay with getting older. The hard thing about this business is you have to look at yourself a lot more than other people do. People get a bit obsessed because there’s too much attention placed there, just by nature of the work. This is Hollywood. There are teams of hair and makeup people and photographs are touched up. It’s image-making; it’s always been that way.

I really love this interview! To read the whole thing, check out Jewish Woman’s Magazine here

Some news for ya folks! First of all, the bad news - looks like the first new episode of House will air on January 29th - BOOO. It’s the Christmas/Holiday (let’s be politically correct here) episode and is called A Wonderful Lie - a title that I absolutely LOVE.

It will be starring Janel Moloney as a patient who has a strange relationship with her daughter.

And now for some holiday cheer from yours truly - I’m not sure HOW I missed these photos, but I’ve got them now, and guess what? They’re large enough to be backgrounds! Just click to enlarge and right click to save as! I know I’ve got one of these up as my new backgrounds - care to guess which one?

You may remember last week when Chase was the object of discussion at TV Guide. The Jeer of the week was all about the fact that Chase hasn’t been seen very much on House in the fourth season. Granted, he’s had some great lines when he’s been on, but there hasn’t been enough of everyone’s favorite Aussie to keep people happy.

Now BuddyTV is letting all of us House fans vote about which character we miss the most! You can go here to vote.

Let me weigh in on this. Do I miss Cameron? Not really - I actually like Hadley better, because even though she’s very like Cameron in that she’s compassionate and the “voice of reason”, she doesn’t have that whole “fawn all over House” thing, nor does she come off as snobbish. I don’t know why, but Cameron just comes off as a huge snob - someone I couldn’t be friends with. I could see myself being friends with Hadley.

Do I miss Foreman? Nah - he’s actually better this season - his dark moods have disappeared and he’s lightened up, which makes me happy. He’s a good compliment to House, especially when House sees Foreman emulating him, whether on purpose or accidentally, and tries to poke fun at it.

Do I miss Chase? YES! GOD yes, and not because he’s sexy as all get-out. Chase always had great lines, and I loved that he would sometimes seem like the “tattle-tale” - you wanted to hate him, but it was so hard to because he was never doing anything maliciously! I did get kind of annoyed with the relationship between him and Cameron (read: I dislike Cameron fairly intensely), so I thought he deserved more. I’d really like to see him with Hadley, actually! I can see that being a great relationship!

So I’ve voted, and so far it looks like the House fans agree with me! As of right now, 71% of the vote is for Chase and 13% for Cameron - poor Foreman only has 1% of the vote…awwww

Go forth and vote Chase fans!

Okay, last time was just a fluke - Hugh’s back in London for real this time. From what I know, the actor arrived today in London. He took a cab from the airport and is seen taking his change from the driver in these photos. Hugh definitely looks like he had a long and tiring flight - I hope he gets some rest during this vacation time!!

And this is believed to be the home of Hugh and his family! It looks absolutely beautiful, but I’m not quite sure if it is the home or not. If it is, it’s definitely big enough for the family!!

Alright - I apologize - I was wrong!! Quite a few of you have contacted me and have said that it’s not Bill, but Charlie that Hugh is walking with, and that they’re in L.A., not London. I did a bit more research (sorry I threw that up so quickly without researching this morning), and yes it’s Charlie, and YES it’s L.A.!

Check out this photo I just found that shows Charlie getting out of the Lincoln town car - looks like Charlie’s saying something to the driver (probably thank you), while Hugh carries one of Charlie’s bags. The license plate is a California plate, and on the sign in the other photo, the phone number goes back to an LA realtor.

Sorry guys!!

So this explains why Hugh had two passports, but why is Charlie in L.A.?! Why isn’t Hugh in London with his family?! I’m concerned…any ideas, guys, why Charlie would be in LA right near the holidays and Hugh isn’t in London yet?!?!

Thanks for giving me the weekend off guys - we had a huge birthday party and then finally got the Christmas tree up! I finished up my Christmas cards and came down with a cold just to top everything off :). But a good nap seemed to have made things a bit better. Now, on to the important stuff - House news! Go down past the pics for information about someone who is COMPLAINING about Hugh Laurie!

Hugh has definitely returned back home - how do I know? Because the paparazzi tracked him down yesterday hanging with his son. I think that this is Bill, his 16 year old son. The two were seen hanging in London. How great that he finally gets some time with his family!!

In other news, Hugh is being criticised! Yes, criticised!! NW sent me a link to a site called the Blue Pencil. This was written by a person who caught their first site of House, which is great! Everyone needs to watch House at least once, right?! HOWEVER, this person is complaining about Hugh’s English!! WHAA?! Okay, Hugh Laurie speaks beautiful English, and he manages to pull off an American accdent extremely convincingly! So what does this writer have to complain about?

House says to his team: “I send you out for exciting new designer drugs–you come back with tomato sauce.” Such an accomplished actor would not make the obvious to-may-to vs. to-mah-to mistake (thank you, George and Ira Gershwin, for so many things!). But his word stress gives him away: instead of the American to-MAY-to sauce, Laurie says to-may-to SAUCE. It’s just not plausible. I suppose a New Englander of a certain generation - think Julia Child - might conceivably use the British stress, but not combined with the American vowel. And House’s character is in the middle of Jersey, where the Julias of speech do not commonly roam freely.

You’re complaining because of the way he says tomato?! Are you serious?! This is a man who manages to sound EXACTLY like an American and you’re complaining because he says one word differently? Tomato, tomat-oh, let’s call the whole thing off, okay!?

Happy Holidays everyone - and for a nice treat I’ve got some great pics of Hugh! Looks like he hit LAX yesterday in order to head home (I’m presuming). It’s been remarked, though, that it looks as though he’s carrying TWO passports. Mmmmmkay. I’m not quite sure WHY it looks as though he’s carrying two passports, but DAYUM he’s hot here.

I’m a woman who likes scruff, but he looks really, really sexy without scruff as well! And guess what - these photos are large enough to use as a background on your computers! YES!

I’m going to disappear for much of the weekend. My son’s 7th birthday was yesterday and tomorrow we’re going to be celebrating with tons of his friends here at our home, so we’ve got a LOT of cleaning and preparing to do! Hope you enjoy the photos!
