Watching House

Why, supporting the writers, of course! Check out this YouTube clip - I’m pretty sure it’s from the second or third of December (was put up on YouTube on the third) - about three minutes in, Hugh and Lisa visit the strikers, talk about House, grab a picket sign and stat walking. I always love hearing Hugh talk in his normal accent.

Hugh even has to worry about “police brutality” - check out the clip:

I’m not quite sure if they’re still filming or what Lisa means by the comment she makes about “changing a lot of stuff around” - what do you think?

I don’t know how I missed this the other day, but I did! Lisa was seen picketing with the WGA crew supporting their cause. I love her sign - and her boots - and her shades!

Unfortunately it doesn’t look like the stars’ support is going to help the strike end anytime soon. *sigh* - I guess singing, “All I Want for Christmas is New House Episodes” won’t help the matter any, will it?

Did you realize that they’re making a new Star Trek movie? Apparently I don’t do enough searching online, because I didn’t know that they were making a new Star Trek! This Star Trek is supposed to follow Captain Kirk and all of his friends as they go through the academy and beyond. Guess who’s playing the young Spock? Sylar from Heroes!

Jennifer Morrison has been confirmed and is, I believe, already filming. Sorry I couldn’t find a larger photo! Apparently Morrison is going to be playing Dr. Carol Marcus. Her character has a son with Captain Kirk! David is his name (I didn’t realize that Kirk had a son!! I really need to get out more!)

Neither Jesse Spencer nor Lisa Edelstein have any movies coming up, but Omar Epps is! He’s finished filming A Day In The Life and it’s been rumored that he’s going to be in Love Can’t Hide as well. Olivia Wilde has finished filming Fix and Hugh, of course, has Night Watchman heading to the screen soon.

No news yet on the writer’s strike, but I’m definitely a bit frustrated that there will be no more House soon! On the other hand, Hugh will get time to spend with his family, which is great! Ugh - two sides to every coin, right?

Lynn over at House Is Right is having a contest just in time for the holiday season! Wanna win a 30 dollar Amazon gift card? No problem! Just head over here and leave a comment (with a valid e-mail address) on that post, and Lynn will choose a winner at random in a few days! Nice!

As for House and the crew, I’m afriad I have very little information right now. I haven’t heard that Hugh has headed home yet, but he’s extremely private and may have snuck away while no one was watching. The last pic I have of him is from November 4th, when he headed to the No Country for Old Men premiere in L.A.

Lisa Edelstein, meanwhile, has been hitting the red carpet fairly heavily. Her last sighting was a week or so ago at the Lint Roller party. Looks like she brought another four legged friend! Awwww.

Omar has been off the scene (possibly due to his new baby), as has Jesse Spencer. Jennifer Morrison has been seen here and there.

So what are you buying for your loved one for Christmas? It’s always hard to pick - I stop and wonder, sometimes, what gift House would get Wilson or Cuddy for Christmas - that’s an interesting thought, isn’t it?!

Check out these interesting promo shots. They were done by Florian Schneider. Schneider is known for creating photos out of numerous shots. According to his website, he finds photos of backgrounds that he likes and matches the actors up, in the studio, to the way the scene shold be shot. Fox is one of his bigger clients, and he’s got photos of House as well as Nip/Tuck (another of my favorite shows).

These are definitely some different promo’s than we’re used to - my husband (who’s not a Jennifer Morrison fan) actually likes the way she looks in these shots. I think Lisa looks great! And for some reason Omar’s walking away from the building while everyone else is around it - hmmmmm….very peculiar.

Florian Schneider, House

WOW WOW WOW! That was an awesome episode! I was a bit worried about the new people, but I thought it worked! It almost gave an “ER” feel to the show, without really making it seem like ER, because we knew that most of the candidates would be gone quickly. Here’s the quickie recap!

The episode started with Captain Greta Cooper - she was flying (and crashing) a flight simulator because she started seeing strange colors. She later said she was “hearing with her eyes”.

Jump to House - he’s in a room with TONS of fellow candidates, asking them who the picture on the screen is.

House: Take a shot. I’m not going to fire you every time you give a wrong answer.
Applicant: Neville Chamberlain.
House: Wrong. You’re fired.

That’s pretty much how he whittled down candidates. Cuddy told him that he could only hire three, so House fired row D - until a cute girl came out and he says “I’m sorry - I was wrong - it’s not row D, it’s row C that is fired.”

He gets a page - from his own office. He heads to the office and finds Captain Cooper, who dumps $50,000 on his desk in order to cure her. She tells him that everything has to be off the books because she’s in line for NASA, and there are 100 candidates that are completely healthy right behind her waiting to take her place. House asks what’s in it for him, and she explains her symptoms, intriguing him.

He heads back to the fellows and introduces her as Osama bin Laden. He has some of the candidates run diagnostic tests while others break into her house and still others run to wash his car. One catty blonde says that she’s not washing his car and convinces the others to walk off with her. She returns a bit later, having used her wits to get others to quit so that there are fewer people to go against. Meanwhile House has three of the applicants put Cooper into a hyberberic chamber in order to make sure there is enough oxygen in her lungs. She winds up going into v-tach and Kai Penn (Kutner and number 6) brings in the defibrillator paddles, shocking her and causing a fire to break out on her chest. They get the fire out and her heart is now beating.

When they go to House’s office to tell him, he’s looking at something on the computer.

House: What, you’ve never seen the naked female form before?
13: I don’t think she’s seen it spooning with a dolphin.
House: Porpoise - Porpoise - there’s a difference you know.
13: Should we give you a minute?

And the countdown has begun! Just a few more days until Season 4 of House starts! YES! Five days. So, what can you do while you’re waiting for the new season? Well, you can rent all of the old seasons from Blockbuster and watch them…you can ponder how we got an idiot for a President…you can try to figure out how the new O.J. Simpson case is going to go…you can try to figure out what the old doctors will be doing whlie they’re on “hiatus” from the show…you can guess the sex of Omar Epp’s new baby (and the due date)…you can design a new cane for Dr. House…you can organize your closet…you can come organize MY closet (just avoid the outdated clothes that I’ve had since High School), you can bake that all-important fruitcake for the holiday season…you can start writing your holiday lists…you can figure out what you’re going to buy ME for the holidays (thank you - thank you very much)…OR, you can be a good adult and sit and wait patiently for the new season to begin…..

in the words of Hugh Laurie - BUGGER THAT!

House, Hugh Laurie, Season 4

*sigh* - House was completely shut out at the Emmy’s! Outstanding Lead Actor in a drama series went to James Spader (WTF?! - I love James Spader tons too, but WTF?!), and Outstanding Drama Series went to the Soprano’s. Ah well, the Sorprano’s last year was this year, so NEXT year, we’ll rock the house! Meanwhile, though, on to the photos!

Hugh looked good last night! Not all men can pull off that “scruff” thing.

And losing didn’t bring him down - he rocked the TV Guide AFTER PARTY instead!

Lisa looked GORGEOUS last night! I loved the dress! This woman definitely does NOT look her age!

Ack! First she dyed it, now she CUT it! Jennifer Morrison sporting a new ‘do at the afterparty.

Or IS it cut?! I can’t tell if it’s cut or just upswept - there’s no photos of her back end!!

Jesse looked somber on the red carpet, then…

Tried to pull off a “Gregory House” look at the afterparty…

But couldn’t manage it!

Omar and his lovely wife attended the gala - no pics of them at the after party, but I’m sure it was because his wife was too tired to hit it! And who can blame her?!

Jennifer Morrison, Hugh Laurie, Jesse Spencer, Omar Epps, Lisa Edelstein

THIS JUST IN: These House Season 4 promos ROCK!

This will definitely tide you over for a few days while I’m taking care of my daughter…

Enjoy!

Tons more below the break!

House, contest, Season 3

Lisa Edelstein was seen at the premiere of Bravo’s new show, Flipping Out (where the guy looks like he has some SERIOUS OCD problems).

She brought along a date!

I’m not sure WHAT kind of dog this is - if he’s a mutt, more power to her. I’m usually REALLY good at figuring out what breed a mutt is comprised of, but this one’s got me stumped! I see Chuwawa (I can’t spell that to save my soul), but I’m not sure what else!

Pictures of my bears will be up soon - after they have a little “photo shoot” LOL.

Lisa Edelstein, Flipping Out

Hear ye, Hear ye - we have photos from Season 4!! These are from the first episode, titled “Alone”.

House, Hugh Laurie, Lisa Eddelstein, Robert Sean Leonard, Season 4

Alright, we’ve got more information about Season 4!

Producer Katie Jacobs says:

“In the first episodes, House is alone and he is solving cases by himself. And Cuddy is pissed and (Wilson) thinks he is losing his mind. And Cuddy will insist, and eventually win, that he hire a new team. And he will do it in a very House-ian way. So essentially the truth is over the first episodes he’s going to call in all the resumes on his desk, it’s a very large number, I think 40, a large number, and we’re going to see who survives. We’re going to play a ‘House’ version of ‘Survivor.’

“We were on the phone with Fox, and we said, ‘We’re going to kind of play ‘Survivor’ with ‘House,’ and they said, ‘Don’t you mean you’re going to play ‘American Idol’ with ‘House?’�

Afterwards, FOX network decided to let the cast members have fun on the Santa Monica pier by shutting it down for their express use.

Apparently Hugh likes bumper cars!

I’m not sure HOW old this is, but it’s HALARIOUS!

On August 24th (9 days AFTER my birthday, dangit), House - Season 3 DVD’s come available from Universial Studios!

Wanna know what the Extras are? Of COURSE you do!
