David Morse in TV Guide

Monday, March 24th, 2008

MorseHouse.jpgHello House fans! I’m sorry that I disappeared for a bit, but there hasn’t been much news House wise, and the family kind of took over the house for Easter. But fortunately a little bit of news has come my way about House, so I’ve got something to share! The most recent TV Guide has an interview with David Morse, and they touch a bit upon his appearance on House! My husband’s favorite actor is David Morse, so he was ecstatic when he saw that David Morse was going to be in a few episodes, and even though he hated that he was a “bad guy”, he loved watching him. So what did TV Guide ask Mr. Morse?

TVGuide.com: How did it feel to stick it to Hugh Laurie’s curmudgeon on House?
Morse: [Laughs] Right now it feels painful because there are so many people who hold it against me! I had worked with David Chase, who ran Hack, and when they came up with the idea of a character who could stand up to Hugh Laurie’s character, he called me to see if I would be interested. I had not watched the show, so I mentioned it to some people I was with, and they said, “You have to do it!” It is such an unbelievable show and this character frankly needs somebody to go after him and put him in his place. So I said I’d give it a shot. It truly was great fun. Hugh is just amazing, and he really is a formidable character to go up against.

I know that, for awhile, he was one of the most hated people in the House world, but I’m sure we can forgive him now, right? Right?

Hugh Animated?!

Monday, March 17th, 2008

Okay, apparently I’m a moron (don’t tell my husband I said this, or he’ll lord it over me). I didn’t realize until this afternoon that Hugh is playing the voice of Dr. Cockroach, Ph.D. in DreamWork’s newest movie, Monsters vs. Aliens, coming out in 2009.

How sweet is this! Hugh will be a cockroach! Ha! The synopsis on IMDB states:

When a meteorite from outer space hits a young girl and turns her into a giant monster, she is taken to a secret government compound where she meets a ragtag group of monsters also rounded up over the years.

I love watching animated movies (I have 2 children and am subjected to them on a weekly basis), and I can’t WAIT to hear Hugh animated! Any guesses on if he’s going to have his regular accent or if he’ll put on his American accent?!

I think that’s Hugh’s character, right on the tall girl’s arm, dressed in the doctor’s coat. Ha! He eschews a coat when he’s playing House, but his animated character wears one! How funny is that?!

Hugh’s acting alongside some great names, such as Reese Witherspoon (Susan Murphy / Ginormica), Paul Rudd (Derek), Keifer Sutherland (General W.R. Monger), and Stephen Colbert (The President).

House Loves Soaps? *gasp and shock*

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

The other day, Ausiello made a statement that had all House fans in shock.

Sex and the City studmuffin Jason Lewis has signed on to guest-star in a pivotal post-strike episode of House that will reveal a shocking secret about Doc Crotchety: He’s a closeted soap fan!

Wow! Gasp - shock - Dr. House likes soap operas?!?! Holy moly! Since when?

Apparently Ausiello realized shortly afterwards that he had made a mistake and instead then posted this:

JasonLewis.jpgSex and the City studmuffin Jason Lewis has signed on to guest-star in a pivotal post-strike episode of House that will reaffirm Doc Crotchety’s obsession with dayime television.

According to my candy-striped Princeton Plainsboro mole, House suspects that his favorite soap star (Lewis) may unknowingly be sick when he starts exhibiting strange symptoms on the air. Not one to wait around for the mystery ailment to cure itself, House takes matters into his own hands. I’ve got $100 that says he barges onto the set and causes a scene, prompting Cuddy to channel her inner Linda Blair.

Any takers?

Well ya know Ausiello, since you’re always right, and an obvious House fan, I think I’ll take that bet!

But, on the other hand, Jason Lewis - HOOOTTTTTT!!

Thanks to Anzelique for the reminder to post this hilarious story!

Lisa and Jesse All Over!

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

Not only were Lisa and Jesse at the Handle With Care Charity even the other day, they’re popping up all over the place! First, Lisa was spotted at the Future Fashion L.A. Cocktail Reception on the 13th. A few people have said that she looks like she’s lost weight - I’m not sure…what do you think?

And Jesse - oooooh Jesse - recently did a photo shoot for Cosmo magazine. All I can say is - Mmmmmm….

There and Back Again

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Hugh was spotted in LAX again on the 9th, coming back from somewhere. I’m going to take a wild guess and say that he escorted his wife home to London, saw his children for a short time, then came back to attend the charity function and work on House. I love these photos - I love that he’s got headphones on and that he is sort of smiling, but has one hand clenched a bit. I also love the lady sitting in the back by the bank machine that looks “oh so happy” to be there. If I happened to catch Hugh, you’d never see me with a face like that…actually, you’d probably see me laying prone on the ground!

Why I’m Drooling on Monday Morning

Monday, March 10th, 2008

I get Hugh and Jesse on Monday morning! Oh what a way to start off the week! Hugh, Jesse, and our lovely Lisa made it clear that the House crew is back in town yesterday by going to the “Handle With Care” charity event that was set up at the Sofitel Hotel in Los Angeles in order to benefit IU-Kenya and Ampath. Jesse was actually the host! Way to go Jesse!!

handle1.jpg

Some people on the blog-o-sphere are discussing Jesse’s hair and how long it is. What do you think about it? I’m still undecided - I didn’t care for Lisa’s top, but it was great to see her again! It’s been a month or two since I’ve gotten any good photos of her! What I love, though, is that the scruff is back, which means that House is definitely, definitely filming again! Hello Dr. House! We missed you!

Enjoy the photos!

House Spoiler and Song

Thursday, March 6th, 2008

Wow! It’s been an exciting few days in my house - one of my walls is getting demolished and turned into a half wall (my step-dad is a carpenter - yay!), so things have been a bit messy. Fortunately some of my readers have taken up the slack for me - thank you guys!! First, only because it is not a spoiler, Mick found the song! Remember the song that was played when House was firing during the final round of competition? Everyone was looking for that song. A few short months later and Mick has discovered someone who played it in Australia! It is a perfect rendition of the song - have a listen!

Secondly, if you would like to know a spoiler about the season finale, click more - if you are one of those people who hates to know what is giong to happen ahead of time, click away from the website now…

Hugh Laurie and Astrology

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Hughsexyresiz.jpgThe lovely Beth has put up a very interesting reading that was done by known astrologer Jonathan Cainor to Hugh. During the reading, he says that Hugh is and extrovert, unusual, larger than life, quick witted, full of confidence, loves the limelight. Beth says that she is surprised that Hugh later says that he isn’t anything like this.

We, however, know better, don’t we dear readers?

Hugh definitely does not love the limelight. If he could act and never have to deal with the paparazzi or with all of the things that he has to deal with due to his popularity, he would be one very happy man. I would say that he is definitely larger than life and quick witted, but not really an extrovert - he doesn’t do it for attention, but rather because he thoroughly enjoy it. Head over here to see the video and let me know if you think that the astrologer is right on the money about Hugh, or very mistaken?

Hugh and Jo for a Spin

Monday, March 3rd, 2008

First of all, it is now verified that Jo is with Hugh in LA. Hugh and Jo took a little spin on his beloved motorcycle around Los Angeles yesterday. I know that some of you do not like to see these kinds of photos because you feel like the paparazzi should leave them alone (a point that I agree with most times), so I’m putting the photos of the two of them below the cut. If you’d like to see them, just click more! And yes, they are great photos…

House VS WWE?!

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

You know, there are some days where I smack myself in the forehead. See, we all know that a new House is starting on April 28th (THANK GOD), but what makes me a moron is that I just assumed that the 28th was a Tuesday. Because House has been on every Tuesday since…well…forever, so it only makes sense that April 28th be a Tuesday, right?

Wrong.

April 28th is a Monday, and according to what I’ve been reading, House will be airing on MONDAYS for the rest of the season!! On one hand, I think Monday is a great day, as it gives me something to look forward to during the beginning of the week. On the other hand, MONDAY?!

Monday in my house = RAW.

wwehouse.jpg

My husband writes for the WWE Daily, and Monday nights always find us on the couch - him writing down the Raw results, and me either doing some work or watching a DVD on the laptop until it is time for me to type in the Raw results (because I’m a lovely wife like that). What will we be doing now on Mondays?! House begins at 9 p.m., as per usual, and so does RAW! Believe it or not, Raw gets amazing stats, with hundreds of thousands of viewers every Monday night. It is one of the top shows on Monday night primetime. Will House be able to hold up against the warriors in spandex that appear on Raw every Monday night?

I have a feeling that Monday nights after the end of April will now find my husband on the couch and me in the bedroom cuddled up with the laptop - but at least I’ll have my House!!
