Cuddy and Cameron “valley girls”

by Randi

I’m so, SO sorry! I’ve been badly neglecting this site this summer - I apologize profusely! I’m slammed with work right now, but am also digging up some juicy details about the next season, and the actors, so until then, enjoy this hilarious scene between Cuddy and Cameron, which was re-taped with the two actresses acting like “Valley Girls”

Thanks to my girl Jaime for the link!

Big Celebrities at Fox Party!

by Randi

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!

House in America

by Randi

I got a desperate email from a reader this morning who was providing me with the news that Hugh has, apparently, purchased a house in the United States. She also asks that I refrain from posting images or the address of the property.

“I think Hugh deserves a bit of privacy, don’t you?” she asks.

Yes, I do. I will refrain from posting these photos, or from saying where you can see them. I wanted to write about him purchasing a house in the US, however, because I hope it means that he will no longer have a rocky relationship with his wife or kids. I am hoping that this means that Jo and the family will be moving over here, at least part of the year, so that they do not have to be separated as much as they usually are. Hugh and his family deserve not only privacy, but also the ability to be able to spend quality time together.

Hugh and British Slang

by Randi

My lovely husband was being..well..rather lovely tonight and looked up some Hugh news. What he found was a hilarious video of Hugh and Ellen trying to figure out what slang meant from each other’s country! You definitely have to take a look at it!

Information and Spoilers for Season 5

by Randi

Are you going through House withdrawal yet? This is about the time of year when I get a bit relaxed about it. It’s been months since I’ve seen a new episode, and I know that a new one is still months away, so I tend to try to block it out of my mind, simply for sanity’s sake.

This website, however, requires that I do a bit of thinking about the actors and the next season. It’s a painful process, I assure you :).

Anyway, thanks to faithful reader Anzelique, we’ve got some spoilers for the next season! First, check out this YouTube…if this doesn’t whet your whistle a bit for some new House episodes, I’m not sure what will!

Next, we’ve got some photos of Hugh and Robert on location filming last month, working on an episode entitled “Birthmarks”.

It is also rumored that the private detective who is going to be working around the hospital has a crush on Cuddy! Woo…wonder what House will think!

Have you heard any new spoilers House fans?

I’m SO SORRY You Guys!

by Randi

What started as taking a day or two (or five) off, turned out to be a huge catastrophe!

Let me explain.

The company that this website is owned by is named 451 Press. It seems that the servers were getting hit with too much traffic, so, like the freeway on the 4th of July weekend, it shut down.

But now we’re back! And I promise I won’t go away for so long again! Its true, absence really does make the heart grow fonder, and I really missed talking to you guys on a daily basis! So, to make up for my long time away, here are some wallpapers I dug up just for you! I’ll be back later today with some spoilers and some great information on House and Hugh and the whole crew!

Interview with Lisa Edelstein and Cuddy Strip-Tease (Finally)

by Randi

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.

Lisa Edelstein’s New Boyfriend

by Randi

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:

edelsteinboyfriend.jpg

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?

Update On: Robert Sean Leonard

by Randi

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!

robertgaby.jpg

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*…

Hugh Laurie as a Chipmunk?

by Randi

I’ve been neglecting this site since the season ended - its always hard to keep readers when the season isn’t going, and its hard to write when you know that NO ONE is reading, but I just couldn’t resist this -

My good friend Jaime, whom you can find here and here (among a variety of other places) sent me this link and it is absolutely hilarious! I”ll be digging up some new news later today - and Hugh will be hitting the red carpet soon for his movie - come back later! I promise I’ll have some interesting stuff for you!

House’s Slot for Fall and Ratings for Finale

by Randi

Well, the House finale did well. How well? The season-finale of House at 16.16 million viewers and a 5.7/14 among adults 18-49. That is an amazing score.

House came in third, below American Idol (when will that show die?) and Grey’s Anatomy when it comes to the top DVR shows.

So what about fall? We’ve got TONS to talk about when it comes to next year, including some questions that people have. To begin with, House will be airing on Tuesday evenings at 8 pm.

Next we’ll get to a few questions. The first comes from Chiodo -

do you know which was the symptom that Gerg saw BEFORE the crash?? he can’t know kidney failure before the crash happened…which was the misterious sympthom??

I believe that the only “symptom” he saw was the pills, which wouldn’t have freaked him out, except for hte bus crash. My assumption is that his brain put together the bus crash and the pills and he knew that Amber was going to be in trouble.

Elvis Orlando FL asks -
I dont understand y wilson is mad at house . they wert having and afair House cant be resposible for the bus axident?

There are many theories about whether Wilson will stay mad at house, but one thing is fairly positive - Wilson is upset at House because he believes that if Amber wouldn’t have rushed out to give House a ride, she wouldn’t be dead.

And finally for today, we’ve got Allie, who noticed a few things about the previous post written by Dr. Scott -

The word amantadine is lowercase, because it is generic. The common brand names are Endantadine, Gen-Amantadine, and Symmetrel. And the term for the seizure is “grand mal” not “gran mal.”

I do not expect a doctor to be able to spell anything, however, because doctors are completely unable to spell. They are also completely unable to pronounce anything correctly, so I suppose we should be grateful he is writing and we are not listening to him.

Allie, medical transcriptionist ;)

Thank you Allie! Please, anyone, let me know whenever something is messed up - we all make mistakes :)

Clip from Wilson’s Heart and the Medicine

by Randi

I’m still a bit…shell shocked? Is that the right word? I’ve been trying to figure out what will happen to House and Wilson and I honestly just can’t right now! Even though I had assumed that Amber would die, I was really surprised at how it happened. And I was kicking myself in the butt later when I realized why she was at the bar - it was a simple explaination and no one seemed to think of it! First, here is one of my favorite clips from last night, where House has to choose to get off the bus or not (and if anyone has any other clips from this episode, leave a comment here and I’ll put it up! Thanks!).

Next, the medicine. Polite Dissent has been known to pick apart the logistics of the medicine and Dr. Scott has once again pulled apart the medicine in Wilson’s Heart.

The writers are correct in that Amantadine is poorly cleared by dialysis, and there have been deaths reported on the medication. The dose for the flu is 100MG twice a day. The only size pill Amantadine comes in is 100MG, so Amber taking two means that she was overdosing herself on it, so she bears some of the blame for this.

What happened to Amber ventricular fibrillation? Did she really remain in v-fib all the way to the hospital until she was cooled? That’s unlikely. Plus, the longer she remains in v-fib, the longer the nasty chemicals Wilson was worried about will build up. Defibrillating early is still the best shot.

Heart-lung bypass and “protective hypothermia� don’t work like that. They’re designed for short-term use, like surgeries. They are rarely used longer, for transplant patients for example, but you don’t keep cranking down the temperature.

The mitral valve is not in the pulmonary vein; it’s in between the left atrium and ventricle. Unless House is suggesting sticking a finger through the pulmonary vein, and then into the heart itself to reach the mitral valve. That’s a disaster waiting to happen. And how is sticking a finger in a major vein a good idea? How are you going to get the finger in there without cutting a big hole in it?

“Diet pills don’t cause jaundice,� that may be true, but blunt trauma does cause liver damage -– like from, I don’t know, a bus accident that destroyed both of her kidneys.

Even if deep brain stimulation could restore memory (and I see no indication in the medical literature that it can), there would be no way to target a specific memory. It’s also performed under general anesthesia (the patient is asleep), and the results are not instantaneous.

That wasn’t a complex partial seizure House suffered, that was a gran mal (tonic clonic) seizure.

So what did you think about the episode? And about Dr. Scott’s discussion about the medicine?

Wilson’s Heart Recap - House Finale

by Randi

Show starts with a “previously on House� segment, showing what we discovered last episode.

Wilson finds Amber and her heart is racing – she’s all cut and bruised and she has a lot of problems. House is there trying to figure out what is going on as well. House wants to move Amber, but the doctor doesn’t want him to.

Doctor – You’re not her doctor, you can’t move her.
House – No, but her husband can.
Wilson – Move her.

Wilson and House are on the ambulance – House is trying to help her, Wilson is trying ot figure out why she was on the bus. Amber goes into V-fib and before house can shock her, Wilson says that it will hurt her heart more if he shocks her. He says instead that they slow her heart down by icing her down and put her on bypass so that House can have more time to diagnose her correctly.

heartideas7.jpg

House – This is not a solution. All you’re doing is pressing pause.
Wilson – It gives you more time to find a diagnosis. House, this is Amber! Please.
House – Cold saline solution.

The rest of the recap (and there is a lot) is under the tag so that those who don’t wish to be spoiled don’t have to read the whole story…

Wilson’s Heart - House Finale - TONIGHT

by Randi

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.

Figuring Out the Future

by Randi

So what do you think will happen on the finale on Monday? There are a few different ideas. Here are some -

Jake says:

House saves Amber. Somehow, sometime. I say that he actually risks his life for her. Remember the pilot? House took the case because Wilson said it was his cousin. I say that House will try to save Amber because of Wilson.

If not that, I say that he might let her die so he can have his Wilson time. I doubt that though.

Interesting Jake…

Davis says:

I think that amber on the bus with house was not a coincidence. I think house wanted to talk to amber privately (or amber to house) but did not want Wilson to know, so they went to the bar. I think Amber refused to ride on the back of house’s bike so she had the bar tender take away house’s keys. When the bus got hit it, looked like amber was talking to house, and she could have been telling him something important. I think she (being an independent person) was going to ask Wilson to marry her. Since House is such a big part of Wilson’s life she would need to ask for his blessing (or approval) to marry Wilson. I don’t know if house would be okay with that, but that is one of my many theories

Here’s the promo for next week:

Want my theory? Below the cut!
