Watching House

You know, I kept saying I was going to grab the Cuddy strip-tease and put it up online for everyone, but I kept forgetting! We have it on our DVR, so I can watch it there and forget to look for it online. FINALLY we have the strip tease, or the Lisa Edelstein strip tease or pole dance - whatever you want to call it. I call it: sheer genius.

Lisa also gave a short interview to E!’s Kristen , where she talks about Cuddy, House, and the strip tease and Hugh. Here’s a little excerpt:

Could you tell us something fun about the lap-dance scene?
We filmed for about four hours, and there were several moves that were left out in the final edit, which were my favorite. I rehearsed for about two weeks with a special trainer who does not train strippers but trains women to do that kind of dancing for themselves or for their husbands or wives, however they may roll. It was a little scary, but it was a lot of fun.

How did Hugh handle it?
Hugh was so wonderful. I did it for him before we shot it because I was so worried. It’s a whole different relationship than what we have as friends working together. So for Hugh and the director and producer of that episode, I did a personal lap dance and showed it to them, and Hugh was incredibly supportive, like a cheerleader. There was nothing about what he did that made me uncomfortable. He appreciated it as a man, up to the level that he could and should in a way that was not inappropriate. I felt beautiful, and it ended up being a really lovely experience.

Ummm - wait - what’s this? Lisa Edelstein showed up at the Monte Carlo Television Festival on Saturday with someone who definitely, definitely doesn’t resemble her boyfriend. The last information I have shows that Lisa was dating Petri Räisänen, as shown below:

So who, then, was Lisa with in Monaco on Saturday?! Whomever he is, he looks much more attractive, nice, and approachable to me! Does anyone have any idea who Lisa’s new beau is?

I also run the Brad Pitt Watch site for 451Press, and do you know that I was contemplating the other day why it seemed so much less intimidating to run that site lately. I think its because there are only 2 people I have to worry about with that site - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. With this site, however, there are tons of people to watch! Hugh, Lisa, Jennifer, Jesse, Omar - well - not so much Omar, but everyone else! So I’m going to try to bring tidbits a few times a week about the different actors and what is going on. Let’s start with Robert Sean Leonard!

Everyone is saying that he deserves to be nominated for an Emmy this year for his acting in “Wilson’s Heart”, and I heartily agree. Robert did an amazing job as a Wilson who has his heart breaking, and who is torn between his best friend and his girlfriend. On the “real life” homefront, there is some more good news!

According to reports, Robert and his fiancee, Gaby Salick, will be married in August! Reports are a bit conflicting, however, as some are saying that Gaby made it into the Olympics, while others are saying she did not, and I haven’t been able to sort that out yet. But reports are clear that before the end of the summer, the two will be married!

Robert recently did an interview in a German horse magazine, Das Pferdemagazin. I’ve been able to find a few bits and pieces of the interview translated - take a look!

Do you have contact with horses? Have you ridden for a role before?

I like horses but, if I am too near to them, my hands and my face begin to itch! I am probably allergic. They are huge and have gigantic teeth! But I have learned that one can give a horse an apple without losing any fingers.

I have had to gallop in the film ” Much Ado about Nothing” over a hill with many other actors. My horse “Dusty” has continuously bitten in my foot. I think I was too tall for her. In any case I had to sit heavily upright as our director has demanded. Therefore the scene is filmed into slow motion around the eight seconds film time to get. None of us actors could sit correctly at the same time together.

Remember - if you find any information about the House crew, feel free to let me know! A quick search shows that while some of the actors have movies coming out in the fall or next year, it looks like there are no premieres for the House crew this summer *sob*…
