New Actress Joins House - Jenn Lombardie51 days ago
E! is reporting that Amber Tamblyn is joining the cast in the upcoming season of House that will air starting in September.
Tamblyns character will appear in several episodes as a “brilliant and aggressive” med student. However being just a student shes not really qualified to practice medicine so I’m guessing that will cause several interesting plot twists.
Personally I look forward to seeing her, shes cute and frankly I think could add a lot to the show.

Hugh Laurie talks spanish in Schweppes commercials - Jenn Lombardie

I have to appaul Hugh for doing such a great job speaking Spanish in these commercials, although it’s no surprise given how well he fakes an American accent on tv.
The commercials aren’t really that great but they fit Hugh Laurie’s acting style perfectly.
Filming for the next season of House begins - Jenn Lombardie
78 days ago
It can often feel a bit strange given that our favorite tv shows are often filmed months in advance of us actually seeing them, so for us we just recently saw the finale for season 6 and expect the cast and crew to be off enjoying a well earned vacation.. But not so..
Today, Hugh Laurie and Lisa Edelstein were spotted on a beach in Malibu, shooting a scene for season 7 of House. Perhaps most surprisingly of all photographers snapped some pictures of Hugh sitting down with a really cute dog.
House is not a Home for Laurie - Jenn Lombardie
87 days ago
While many actors usually use the threat of leaving their hit show to increase their salaries, I believe Hugh Laurie may actually just mean it. Afterall for years he’s lamented the fact working in L.A has kept him away from his wife and kids for so long and who can blame him?
Personally I hope Hugh sticks it out for a few more years and Fox rewards him with a bigger salary just to keep the show going, but even I have begun to watch episodes of House and feeling like the show is becoming stale. Don’t get me wrong it’s still very interesting but I would also like to see Hugh Laurie go back to doing comedy as well.
House Writers Interviewed by Blog Critics - Jenn Lombardie
99 days ago
In the midst of preparing for season seven (the writers are not currently on hiatus), the three writers took a few minutes out of their packed schedules to talk to me by phone about the stunning season six finale and planning season seven.
Forgive me for starting at the end of the episode, but what an ending. And it was an ending no one knew about — it wasn’t even on the media screeners (which ended as House sits on the bathroom floor contemplating the events of the day — and his Vicodin). Why all the secrecy?
Peter Blake: Obviously, it was a big change… a big development in the direction of the series and we just didn’t want it to leak out.
Garrett Lerner: So we took a lot of effort not to let too many people know about the ending. None of the scripts that we handed out to the cast and crew or the writers included the final scene.
Russel Friend: Unfortunately the crew didn’t know the ending and thought they were going to be able to go home finally, and then we brought out those pages at around 2 a.m.
Was the final ending always a part of the original plan? Russel, your video blog (available in the iPhone/iPad InHouse app) caused quite a stir in the fan community because some interpreted what you said as meaning the final scene was added later.
Russel Friend: It wasn’t, although it sort of seemed that way on the video blog. When we first recorded the video blog, we still hadn’t told many people about the ending, so it couldn’t be on the video blog. But this had always been the planned ending for the episode. But we didn’t tell anyone except a very few people. Of course Lisa [Edelstein] and Hugh [Laurie], knew about it. And then after we filmed the ending, I did another video blog talking about the ending.
But the truth is that it was the planned ending for the season for months and months. We knew we were going to get to that point when they get together. It was just a question of how we were going to get there
Where did the idea for “Help Me” originate?
Russel Friend: I had this idea a couple of years ago. I’d read about a crane collapse on a townhouse in Manhattan, and it struck me that this could really be an episode of television, but didn’t seem at the time to be an episode of House because we don’t do those sort of ER type episodes. But then I wondered about having the crane operator being someone with a mysterious illness. And then we trap someone under the building as the person House has to take care of. Then, together, we came up with putting House through this whole emotional story series of things.
Garrett Lerner: I’ve thought for a couple of seasons that this would make a good season finale if we ever had to get House into a really dark place and then pull him out of there. I think it was around Thanksgiving that Russ presented it in the writers’ room, it was formally decided.
It’s an interesting juxtaposition: a big disaster scenario for this intimate personal story…
Garrett Lerner: This was always part of the pitch. That House is stuck with this woman. Her leg is trapped and we draw the parallels there.
Russel Friend: It almost forces House to really bond with a patient, which is also something we never do. House always has this objectivity about these cases and situations and it just felt like a great way to do it.
The way Hannah dies seems to add to House’s emotional torment. Does he blame himself for her death?
Russel Friend: Not for her death, but because he does everything he could — everything he is supposed to do — and she still dies. It still doesn’t work out well for him, which is reflected in House’s conversation with Foreman [towards the end of the episode]. This has been a common theme in the last few episodes of season six. If you do the right thing in the world, good should come out of it. House is trying to learn that lesson, and it hadn’t worked out so well for him. And here, he does everything right, and she dies anyway.
