Watching House

On Monday those fans of Cameron and House are going to be extremely happy, as it looks like our intrepid ER physician and our favorite cranky doc are going to be getting some great scenes together! The next episode is entitled Saviors.

Staff at Princeton-Plainsboro, particularly House and the team, try to deal with the recent tragedy while Cameron presents House with the case of an environmentalist who collapsed in the middle of a protest.

The premiere of Monsters VS Aliens was last night and Hugh showed up for it! He hasn’t been at the many premieres around the world yet, but he did manage to get to this one. And it looks like Jesse Spencer came out to support his House co-star!

The day before, Jennifer Morrison was seen running at a charity marathon. I’m still not sure what charity it was for, but I do know it looks kinda weird getting ready to run a marathon with huge hoop earrings in!

Hugh managed to sneak into the SAG awards and guess what? He won for best actor in a drama! I’ll put the Youtube up of his speech (which is hilarious) as soon as I can find it!!! Congrats Hugh!!

House, unfortunately lost for Best Dramatic Series….dang it.

Looks like the House crew has showed up enforce at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards! Or, for us normal people, the SAG awards. Even Kal Penn is there! So far we’ve got Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, and Kal, and I’ll keep adding photos as they arrive, although I’m wondering if Hugh is going to sneak in the back door again as he did for the last award!

Good luck Hugh and House!

WOW! I love the photo of House holding Cuddy’s baby! How adorable is that?!?! Contrary to what many people think, I’m actually looking forward to seeing how House deals with this new addition into Cuddy’s life.

House treats a special education teacher whose seemingly inherent goodness is actually a pathology.

Think this will be a good episode?!

The above photo is seriously HQ and is awesome when in full size - and would make a great desktop! Click on it to check it out in HQ

To start with: congratulations to the entire cast and crew of House for winning the People’s Choice Award for Best Television Drama! You certainly deserve it - although I don’t classify House as a drama, more as the best hour of TV on all week (although I am starting to get almost as hooked on Fringe…thanks to it showing after House for so long.)

Let’s get down to business now, shall we? I got the HQ images of our lovely House ladies so that we can see how bad the damage was…and for a few, it was pretty bad. Let’s start with my favorite fashion victim lover, shall we?

Jennifer Morrison, step on down!

At first glance I thought “oh - she’s wearing a nice little silver dress. Appropriate length, good color, nice!” then I took a closer look. My guess? Jennifer headed to New York City for the New Years Eve ball dropping ceremony and decided to steal a few pieces off of the ball because she was “inspired”…either that or she took down the disco ball she had in her apartment and decided that some recycling was in order.

Seriously, what was she trying to accomplish with this dress? Yes, the color and length are great, and the shoes are killer - her hair looks good and even her makeup is fine, so why strap yourself into a dress that looks like it was a castoff from Janet Jackson’s canceled tour? (maybe THAT’s where she got it from…)

One thing that you don’t see from the front is this:

She.Has.No.Curves. The dress suggests curves from the front but once you see the side you realize that there’s nothing to her! Apparently she’s decided to drop even more weight since Olivia came on board and out-skinnied her, because I don’t remember Jennifer ever looking this thin.

Come on down Olivia Wilde!

At first glance this dress is extremely classy. I love how wispy it is and how it reminds me of classic Hollywood with a modern twist to it. I absolutely adore her arm bands and her makeup is flawless. I even love how a simply ponytail looks great with the dress. The only complaint I have is that she looks to skinny! Come on Olivia - put a little weight on! On one side it looks like the dress is hanging a bit, but I think that it’s just the fabric draping in a strange way. I just wish I could see what her shoes look like!

Hello Lisa Edelstein! (sorry - was unable to find any HQ versions of her entire dress)

Nice long black dress - classic. A little peek-a-boo down at the bottom of the dress, which I adore, and a matching bag - nice. How can you go wrong with a long black dress?

Like this.

Dear God! It looks like she snagged the plant holder that my grandmother used to use to hold her spider plants with! You know the one - it’s the same one almost every grandmother had - the thickly braided one that holds the spider plant suspended in the air so that the vines can drape down and annoy you? And your grandmother got bonus points if hers had beads in it (my grandmother’s did).

And then, as if that weren’t bad enough, there’s round shiny things on her chest?! What happened Lisa?! First the dress that the 70’s forgot and now this hot-grannie style top?

And let’s not even point out that during her portraiture sitting she had a little something right there….

It was not a good night for Jennifer or for Lisa. But there was someone who managed to look absolutely fabulous (aside from Olivia and all the men, that is)…

Jesse’s girlfriend? Looked hot! I love the dress, and I especially love the little handbag that she’s got going on as well! She looked really, really good.

All the men looked great, including your favorite and mine, Omar Epps (his suit was great but his attitude was sorely lacking.)

Here’s a few videos of the wins last night, in case you didn’t get the chance to see them. Let’s hope that we not only win on Sunday, but that Lisa and Jennifer get nicer dresses!!

Hey guys! How was your vacation?! Mine was good - lots of presents (for the kids, of course - although we did splurge and buy Rock Band 2), lots of food (too much!) and lots and lots of time playing with the kids. School, however, is now back in session and it’s time for me to get back to work!

I’ve been periodically checking the normal sites for pictures of the celebs out and about and really haven’t found much. Looks like they’re keeping to themselves this holiday season, and who can blame them?! But the award season is getting started (This Sunday are the Globes!), so expect TONS of photos of the celebrities dressed up! Let’s just hope that Jennifer is having a good fashion day instead of a bad one!

I actually have spent quite a bit of time catching up on old House episodes. There were a few I had never seen - all old ones, of course. One episode I was looking forward to seeing in particular was the one with Michelle Trachtenberg - I never seem to be able to catch it, but I did and it was awesome!! Thanks to USA’s marathons, the hubby and I have been able to curl up on the couch every night and watch an episode or two of House. Thanks USA!

New episodes, however, will start again on January 19th, which you’ll see, once you look at your calendar, is a Monday. This has been a source of debate in our home since the idea of House on Monday nights was brought up at the end of last season. My husband watches WWE’s Raw and actually runs the WWE Daily site for 451 Press. This means that on most Monday’s he dominates the living room. We do have a TV in the bedroom, but both of us want to watch our show on the big TV, so it looks like we’ll be doing a few games of rock, paper, scissors!

The next episode is called “Painless”, and the only information I have about it right now is this:

House and Cuddy are both fixing up their homes, while Foreman has a difficult choice to make.

Hmmm - difficult choice? About Dr. Hadley, I presume? I’m guessing they either have to stop dating or she has to stop the treatment - and from the look of Lori Petty (LORI PETTY! WOOT! Love you Lori! If you happen to stumble upon this, email me, will you?! I’d love to talk! You’re one of my favorite actresses!!) sorry - there’s a bit of fan-girl hiding inside of me who pops out at the mention of Lori Petty (WOOT!), anyway, from the look of her character, it looks like she’s getting better on the treatment - would Hadley continue her relationship or choose to continue the treatment? Hmmm…of course I could be completely wrong and Foreman’s choice may have more to do with figuring out if he should keep that ugly hairy-thing hanging down from his chin area or not. (that beard-type thingie is giving me the creeps guys! It looks like it’s ALIVE!)

Here are some promo pics - and don’t you love the picture of House on the official site’s main page? Gotta love it!

Hi guys! I’m so sorry I didn’t get this preview up yesterday like I wanted to - my best friend bought me a ticket to see New Kids On the Block in Boston and by the time I drove home from there it was 4 am, so I was catching up with sleep and trying to get my work caught up! In order to pay for my sins, I’ve included not only the synopsis and some photos, but a few sneak peak videos as well! Looks like the PI Lucas is back this round and one of my favorite little-known actors, Breckin Meyer (Clueless, anyone?) will be on tonight - yay!

Remember to come back for the review right after the show tonight! (We’re watching it live tonight so that we can watch Iron Man after…)

A struggling artist (Breckin Meyer) taking part in three drug trials to pay his bills is also suffering from something that’s altering his perception and threatening not only his livelihood but his life as well. Meanwhile, House has Lucas (Michael Weston) look into the private lives of his team, including Taub, whose marriage is in trouble.

So I’ve been watching the Emmy’s since a bit past 8 (long day) and so far, no Hugh? I’ve been looking for pictures of him through Wire Image and through other sites and I’ve seen none?!?! Have you?

Here, however, are tons of photos of Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Morrison, and Olivia Wilde arriving at the Emmy’s. My opinion? Their dresses all look great, but my favorite would have to be Lisa’s. She looks beautiful - and the new haircut?! Nice! What do you think?

More photos and news as I come upon it!

Update: new photos of Omar Epps and Kal Penn…

Are you excited? Are you excited?!?!?! Tonight’s the season premiere of HOUSE!!! Remember - House is on Fox tonight at it’s new time, 8 EST. What’s up for tonight? Tonight’s episode is called Dying Changes Everything - here’s the premise:

Eight weeks after the death of his girlfriend, Amber, Wilson is still mourning her death, and his relationship with his best friend House is shattered. Needing to make a change in his life and give himself time to recover emotionally, Wilson resigns from Princeton-Plainsboro. He is forced to decide if House is a destructive force in his life, while House has to determine if he’s responsible for the death of his best friend’s girlfriend. The team must push forward as they encounter a case involving an assistant to a high-profile executive, who is a textbook “Type A” personality. The team suspects that the patient’s symptoms stem from her obsession to constantly please her demanding boss. However, her shocking medical condition forces the team to rethink their initial diagnoses and see the case through House’s eyes. Meanwhile, Cuddy attempts to salvage the irreparable rift between House and Wilson, and Thirteen struggles to treat the patient objectively without bringing the reality of her own medical condition to the case.

Here is the extended trailer for tonight’s episode (edited to add - I don’t think that it’s just for the first episode, as a number of the preview shots from the next two episodes look to be in this trailer as well…unless it’s one of those “to be continued…” shows…hmmm) along with some great promotional screen shots!! Enjoy, and remember to come back later tonight for the recap (which, in my true fashion, will surely be long and with lots of quotes!)

Would you believe that I took a trip to Tahiti for a month where I did nothing but watch House reruns and sip fruity drinks with umbrellas in them? No?! I wouldn’t either. Actually what happened is really benign - the last month of the summer just got away from me. Between all of the normal everyday life stuff, a lot of not-so-great things happened and, the next thing I knew, it was the middle of September. I apologize greatly for taking a month (or so) off, but please know that I’m here! I’m back! And now that the kiddos are back in school (one is in preschool which just started) and the new season is rushing right up to us, I’m ready to get the show on the road!

One of the good things that happened since I’ve been gone is that the gurus at 451 Press changed the layout a bit here, so I can post tons of pics in a little gallery, making it easy to see new pictures of the show, which I love.

There are TONS of things to discuss so let me gather my thoughts and I’ll be back with some spoilers and other information about the new season - I’m also working on getting some stuff for giveaways (yay), so make sure you keep coming back!

For now, here are some HQ photos from the season promotional photo shoot!!

Fox’s All Star Party at the Pier had some huge stars! All the Fox celebrities showed up, including Hugh, Omar, Olivia, and Kal! Absent were Jesse Spencer, Jennifer Morrison, and Lisa Edelstein (and RSL, who’s never at these parties).

Unfortunately this year I don’t see any pics of Hugh on bumper cars, but there is a cute one of the three new ducklings!

It’s so odd - I’m so excited to see tonights episode, yet I’m sad as well, as I know that this is the end of the season! This is one of those bitter sweet moments. Even more interesting is that we all hated Amber (aka Cut Throat Bitch), and now that we are kind of enjoying her presence, she may die! There are a few things I want to address, though, before the episode tonight.

1 - Will Amber Die?

I DON’T KNOW!! A friend of mine was on chat this morning going, “and House will save her, of course”. Ummm - no of course. Plenty of characters have died on this show, which means that we can never know if someone will make it, and what better way to shake things up than to kill someone off?

2 - Amber is House’s daughter/sister

WHAT? House doesn’t have any siblings, and as far as we know, no children (and Amber would have to have been born when he was very young). And then you’re forgetting a big thing - House M.D. isn’t a soap opera. This one I just don’t see happening.

3 - Why does Amber take the bus?

THIS is, perhaps, the biggest question. But then we have to remember that we don’t even know for sure that Amber has a car, we’re just assuming she does. Maybe she takes the bus all the time?

Alright, so she probably has a car - why, then, is she on the bus with House? It probably has a lot to do with why they’re together…

4 - Why does House say “You want me to risk my life to save Amber?”

A lot of people are assuming that this means that House is going to undergo a surgery in order to save Amber…something like a kidney donation or what have you. I tend to think that he’s going to risk his life in order to get his memory back to figure out what the clue was that he noticed before the bus accident, not that he’s going to give her a kidney or anything.

5 - Why does Wilson say “You can’t do this”?

Haven’t seen the new promo yet? It’s quick, but MaryKir (the wonderful woman) caught it - head on over to her site to see the new promo that aired last night.

I took some screenshots from that promo that may give us a spoiler as to what is going on (with House, you never know) - I put them below the cut so that those who do not want to spoil the surprise don’t have to. But remember - a screen shot doesnt’ necessarily show us what is giong to happen, although I have a bad feeling that one of these shots does.

(more…)

First I had the “all the info in one place” post a few mintues ago, and now I’ve got even MORE information! Apparently my brain has escaped the confines of my head lately to not catch all this stuff. Big news first: Hugh will be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno on Friday, the 25th!! YES! If you’re not a night owl, set your DVR to record! I’ll try to snag video of it when it becomes available for those who can’t catch it.

Secondly, there are some candids of Hugh floating around during shooting for the show the other day. Looks like they’re shooting outside? Hmmm…this could be interesting. You can see him chatting it up with a crew member and playing with a baseball (someone said it was a cricket ball, and I honestly don’t know what a cricket ball looks like!).

Dr. House needs to take a round out of me, as I’ve been seriously slacking lately. I think that happens when I haven’t seen a new episode in a few weeks (or MONTHS dang it). I’ve been doing the quick search for news, but not much has popped up. There are a bunch of spoilers going around, which many readers don’t like so I’m avoiding for the moment, and there is the news that Cameron and Chase will NOT be going back to the regular team.

Say what?

That’s right. Creator David Shore said in an interview recently that while Chase and Cameron may get a bit more screen time than they had before, they will not be rejoining House’s regular team. In an interview with The Watcher, David Shore had a few interesting things to say - such as this little gem of wisdom:

I’m going to say something you’re readers aren’t going to like, but as someone running a television show, you have to be very careful – people think they want something and they do want something, but it’s not what they need, shall we say, and it’s not what the show needs. It’s great that they like those characters.

And the show as a whole falls into that. And so yes, I changed it. A little bit. And you have to be really careful with these things. It’s a real challenge. You want people to want more of things. You have to be careful on what you deliver.

He’s got a good point, but at the same time it still left me feeling like “Oh - you know what we want better than we do, huh?” But then again, he’s the one raking in the millions, not me!

He also was pretty quiet when the interviewer asked him if anyone was leaving from the show.

Something is happening at the end of this year which I think is pretty significant. I’d rather not say what it is.

Huh?! Oh now my interest is even more peaked! You can see the entire interview here. We’ve only got 10 more days until the new House episode!! Then we’ve only got four left until the end of the season. Here are a few pics from Mr. Nice Guy, the episode airing on the 28th of April, and under that you’ll find the synopsis for all of the rest of the episodes.

April 28, “No More Mister Nice Guy”: “House thinks an emergency room patient has a bigger problem than the E.R. initially diagnosed based on the fact that the patient is ‘too nice.’ Meanwhile, House and Amber (guest star Anne Dudek) are at odds vying for Wilson’s (Robert Sean Leonard) time and attention in an all-new episode.”

May 5, “Living the Dream”: “In an all-new episode, House is convinced that one of the actors (guest star Jason Lewis) on his favorite soap opera, ‘Prescription Passion,’ has a serious medical condition, but has to take matters into his own hands when both the actor and House’s own team dismiss his assessment, believing that nothing is wrong with the soap hunk.”

May 12, “House’s Head”: “In Part 1 of the two-part season finale, House is in a bus accident and loses four hours of his memory. He slowly pieces together that a fellow bus passenger was exhibiting signs of a deadly illness. But the details of who it is or how House got on the bus in the first place are locked inside his brain, and he’s desperate to add up the fleeting flashes in order to save someone who might not even know he or she could be dying.”

May 19, “Wilson’s Heart”: “In Part 2 of the two-part season finale, clues inside House’s head hold the key to a patient’s condition, and House’s friendship with Wilson is tested beyond limits as murky memories from the bus accident the night before threaten to change their lives forever.”

Thanks to the lovely Angelika, who got them from the beautiful Hugh Laurie.net, we’ve got a few desktops! Thank you Angelika for e-mailing them to me!

I’ve also got a couple that I’ve been using but, unfortunately, can’t remember where I got them from. If I’m posting your wallpaper without permission - I’m sorry! But they’re too good to not share.

*updated*I am SO SORRY! I put this up late last night and didn’t see that the name of one of the creators was right on the picture!! 3kelvin has got a number of different wonderful wallpapers, and has even got a great section that shows some of the great clothes that House wears! Check it out here! - again, sorry 3kelvin!
