"House" creator David Shore has a
new series out May 2 on FOX, "Houdini
& Doyle." It's very good. Michael Weston (Lucas) stars as Harry
Houdini. He partners with "Sherlock Holmes" creator Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle (Stephen Mangan) to solve murders. Houdini is not only a magician,
but a skeptic, whereas Doyle is looking for proof of the supernatural.
Rebecca Liddiard plays Adelaide Stratton, Scotland Yard's first female
constable. It's a very fun show! Check it out.
If you loved "House", you'll probably love the new show "Backstrom" on FOX
starting January 22. It's really good, so watch it! Rainn Wilson of "The
Office" plays the lead character, a self-destructive police detective. He
reminds me a lot of House... wonderful cast and well-written show.

[EDITOR’S NOTE: HOUSE is preempted tonight.]
MONDAY, MARCH 5
[EDITOR’S NOTE: HOUSE returns to the schedule this spring.]
An announcement from HOUSE Executive Producers David
Shore, Katie Jacobs and Hugh Laurie, as well as a statement from Kevin
Reilly, President of Entertainment, Fox Broadcasting Company.
After much deliberation, the producers of House M.D. have decided that
this season of the show, the 8th, should be the last. By April this year
they will have completed 177 episodes, which is about 175 more than anyone
expected back in 2004.
The decision to end the show now, or ever, is a painful one, as it risks
putting asunder hundreds of close friendships that have developed over the
last eight years - but also because the show itself has been a source of
great pride to everyone involved.
Since it began, House has aspired to offer a coherent and satisfying world
in which everlasting human questions of ethics and emotion, logic and
truth, could be examined, played out, and occasionally answered. This
sounds like fancy talk, but it really isn’t. House has, in its time,
intrigued audiences around the world in vast numbers, and has shown that
there is a strong appetite for television drama that relies on more than
prettiness or gun play.
But now that time is drawing to a close. The producers have always
imagined House as an enigmatic creature; he should never be the last one
to leave the party. How much better to disappear before the music stops,
while there is still some promise and mystique in the air.
The producers can never sufficiently express their gratitude to the
hundreds of dedicated artists and technicians who have given so generously
of their energy and talent to make House the show it has been - and
perhaps will continue to be for some time, on one cable network or
another.
The makers of House would also like to thank Fox Broadcasting and
Universal Television for supporting the show with patience, imagination
and large quantities of good taste. The Studio-As-Evil-Adversary is one
of the many clichés that House has managed to avoid, and for that the cast
and crew are deeply grateful.
Lastly, the audience: some have come and some have gone, obviously. This
is to be expected in the life of any show. But over the course of the
last eight years, the producers of House have felt immensely honored to be
the subject of such close attention by an intelligent, discriminating,
humane and thoughtful - not to mention numerous - audience. Even the
show's detractors have been flattering in their way. Making the show has
felt like a lively and passionate discussion about as many different
subjects as could possibly be raised in 177 hours. The devotion and
generosity of our viewers has been marvelous to behold.
So, finally, everyone at House will bid farewell to the audience and to
each other with more than a few tears, but also with a deep feeling of
gratitude for the grand adventure they have been privileged to enjoy for
the last eight years. If the show lives on somewhere, with somebody, as a
fond memory, then that is a precious feat, of which we will always be
proud.
Everybody Lies.
STATEMENT FROM KEVIN REILLY, PRESIDENT, ENTERTAINMENT, FOX BROADCASTING
COMPANY:
While it’s with much regret, and a lump in our throats, we respect the
decision Hugh, David and Katie have made. A true original, on the page
and amazingly brought to life by Hugh Laurie, there is only one Dr. House.
For eight seasons, the entire HOUSE team has given us – and fans around
the world – some of the most compelling characters and affecting stories
ever seen on television. They have been creatively tenacious and
collaborative throughout this incredible run, and they are amongst the
most superior talents in the business. For all the above, we
wholeheartedly thank them, and the fans who have supported the show.

From tvline.com: Question: The wife and I are fans of House
and Game of Thrones and noticed the acting style, smiles and air about Peter
Dinklage and Hugh Laurie are very similar. We thought it would be great
pairing of actors if they could ever work together. Have you or anyone else
in the entertainment circles noticed this as well? —Brian
Ausiello: I totally noticed it while watching Sunday’s shocking GoT! Their
mannerisms and acting style are very similar, they totally need to do
something together. I’ll plant the bug in Hugh’s ear next time we meet for

FOX GREENS IT AND MEANS IT DURING EARTH WEEK
Go green with FOX this Earth Week! As part of Fox Broadcasting Company’s
ongoing “Green It. Mean It.” campaign, an initiative designed to raise
both viewer and employee awareness of environmental issues, FOX talent,
shows and employees are stepping up their efforts to help preserve our
planet. In addition to the numerous eco-friendly activities that the
network and its sister companies support year-round, FOX’s Earth Week
plans this year include:
· FOX Talent “Green Tips”: During Earth Week, FOX talent,
including Lisa Edelstein, Jennifer Beals, Chris Colfer, Martha Plimpton,
Christian Slater and Joshua Jackson, will appear in network and affiliate
on-air promos offering viewers helpful “Green Tips” on how to establish a
more sustainable lifestyle. Tune in throughout the week to HOUSE, GLEE,
RAISING HOPE, AMERICAN IDOL, BONES, FRINGE and other series to learn more
about environmental issues and what you can do to help. In addition, these
“Green It. Mean It.” talent tips were provided to more than 2,000 radio
stations for use in all day-parts throughout the month of April.
· www.fox.com/greenitmeanit : To better support the network’s
greening efforts, FOX has revamped and re-launched
http://www.fox.com/greenitmeanit, the network’s
dedicated “Green It. Mean It.” website. The site hosts videos, photos and
information to help viewers track the network’s achievements and learn how
they, too, can make a difference. Additionally, in an effort to promote
environmental awareness and energy efficiency,
www.americanidol.com will turn its homepage
black for Earth Day on Friday, April 22. The AMERICAN IDOL finalists also
share their green tips exclusively at
http://www.americanidol.com/
· Local Grocery Tote Giveaway: On Wednesday, April 20, FOX
employees will take shifts distributing free reusable “Green It. Mean It”
grocery tote bags outside of Ralphs supermarket at 10309 West Olympic
Blvd. in Los Angeles to encourage shoppers to avoid using paper or plastic
when carrying their groceries.
· Habitat For Humanity Build: FOX is a proud partner of Habitat
for Humanity of Greater Los Angeles. On Thursday, April 21 in Long Beach,
CA, FOX employees will join the organization in constructing affordable
housing for a family in need, using recycled and sustainable materials.
FOX Talent “Green Tips” are available at
http://www.fox.com/earthday for viewing and
sharing across social networks like Facebook and Twitter. Examples
include:
From HOUSE Mondays (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT):
* Lisa Edelstein – “Did you know that your home is a bigger polluter
of greenhouse gases than your car? Talk to your local utility company
about how you can get a free energy audit to reduce your utility bill
and combat climate change.”
* Omar Epps – “Next time you travel, consider a permanent tag for your
luggage. If travelers in the U.S. stopped using paper luggage tags
during their trips, 60 million sheets of paper could be saved per year.”
FOX’s Earth Week initiatives are only a small part of FOX’s ongoing “Green
It. Mean It.” campaign. For the past six years, FOX has hosted the FOX
Fall Eco-Casino party, a benefit for various eco-friendly charities,
including The Nature Conservancy, Habitat for Humanity of Greater Los
Angeles, Global Green USA, among others. Last year, FOX donated two solar
panels, previously used on the AMERICAN IDOL finale red carpet, to schools
in Los Angeles and New York. This spring, FOX will donate the solar panel
from its most recent Emmy Awards red carpet to an additional school. In
addition, the Environmental Media Award-winning TEEN CHOICE AWARDS
annually implements numerous “green” initiatives, including the use of
solar and natural gas power, a Woolly Pocket vertical garden as a
step-and-repeat and, in a red carpet first, cyclists generating power to
cool talent and the media.

xfinityTV.com recently caught up with Russell Brand at
a press event for his upcoming film "Hop" and I thought you might be
interested in the below item.
ITEM: Russell Brand goo-goo for.... Hugh Laurie?
With a wife like Katy Perry who would ever think Russell Brand would have
eyes for anyone else but in a recent interview with xfinityTV.com it seems
Brand has a bit of a crush on one of his "HOP" co-stars. No, we're not
talking about Kaley Cuoco, from 'The Big Bang Theory,' but rather "Dr.
House" himself Hugh Laurie. Brand told xfinityTV.com his one regret about
the movie was doing his work separately from Laurie. "I've never gotten to
meet Hugh Laurie, but I love Hugh Laurie," Brand said. "I'd show up in
'House,' on 'House,' under 'House,' by 'House' as long as Hugh Laurie's in
that house. I could play Siamese twins or something." Hopefully Laurie
will get to meet his biggest fan at the film's premiere on April 1st and
maybe he will make Brand's wish come through by getting him a guest role
on 'House.'

HOT FROM FOX...
AMBER TAMBLYN JOINS PRINCETON PLAINSBORO TEAM ON "HOUSE"
Emmy- and Golden Globe-Nominated Actress to Appear in Multi-Episode Arc
Season Seven of HOUSE Premieres Monday, September 20, on FOX
Amber Tamblyn has signed on to appear in the upcoming season of HOUSE for
a multi-episode story arc. She will play a brilliant and aggressive
medical student whom DR. HOUSE (Hugh Laurie) hires as a new team member
although she is technically not yet qualified to practice medicine.
Tamblyn's character will be confronted with the morally and ethically
questionable way that House practices medicine.
The seventh season premiere of HOUSE airs Monday, Sept. 20 (8:00-9:00 PM
ET/PT) on FOX.
With an impressive resume for a young actress, Amber Tamblyn's breakout
role was the title character in the critically acclaimed television series
"Joan of Arcadia." Her work on the show earned her both Emmy and Golden

PSYCH's James Roday & Dule Hill face EXTINCTION Find information below on
a new project by Psych's James Roday and Dule Hill [USA Network].
EXTINCTION
by Gabe McKinley
starring James Roday & Michael Weston
produced by Dule hill
directed by Wayne Kasserman
James Roday, star of the hit television series "Psych," and Michael
Weston of TV's "House" will play two friends on a reckless weekend in Gabe
McKinley's new play EXTINCTION, previewing Off-Broadway on Feb 13, 2010
prior to its official press opening February 17 at the Cherry Lane Theatre
in Manhattan. Wayne Kasserman directs.
Mr. Roday and Mr. Weston reprise their roles Off-Broadway in EXTINCTION
following its acclaimed, sold-out run this past fall in Los Angeles at the
Elephant Space theatre in Hollywood in a production praised by Variety as
"the creative meat of a truly talented writer...a very dark view of the
sexes." The L.A. Times wrote that the play "enters unexplored, murky
corners and is uniquely unsettling."
With a cast featuring James Roday, Michael Weston, Amanda Detmer and
Stefanie E. Frame, EXTINCTION is Mr. McKinley's play about what
transpires between two college buddies whose annual outing of
male-bonding and debauchery veers precipitously off course when unmet
expectations spiral into a volatile showdown.
EXTINCTION will be presented Off-Broadway by RED DOG SQUADRON in
association with the Cherry Lane Theatre. The actor Dule Hill, Mr.
Roday's co-star on "Psych," is also a producer of the play.

Hugh Laurie to Direct Episode of HOUSE
Hugh Laurie, star and executive producer of HOUSE, will direct an
upcoming episode of the hit FOX series scheduled to air this spring.
This marks the first time Laurie has directed an episode of HOUSE in the
more than 100 episodes produced to date.
"I am thrilled, daunted and honoured - with a 'u' - by this new
responsibility," said Laurie. "HOUSE scripts are Faberge eggs, and I
will try my very hardest not to drop this one on a stone floor."
"I've wanted him to direct since Season One. In fact, I can't believe
he's actually doing it," said HOUSE executive producer Katie Jacobs.
"There is no one more qualified to direct the show than Hugh Laurie. I'm
sure this is evident to anyone who's seen the show, but he is simply the
most versatile, talented, funny actor on TV today. Add to that an
impeccable feeling for the visual storytelling, and you have the makings
of a great director. I don't know how he's going to be in two places at
once, but that part we'll just have to figure out."
According to Jacobs, the episode Laurie is directing is "very intense
and truly a director's piece."
In addition to his many film and television acting credits, the
multi-talented, Emmy-nominated Laurie has directed television programs
and commercials, composed and recorded numerous original songs and
written articles for London's The Daily Telegraph newspaper. His writing
credits include the groundbreaking U.K. series he starred in with
Stephen Fry, "A Bit of Fry and Laurie." His first novel, "The Gun
Seller," was published in both the U.K. and the U.S. to critical acclaim
and has been adapted into a screenplay.
Laurie's performance as "Dr. Gregory House" has garnered him two Golden
Globe Awards for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series,
four Emmy nominations for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and
two Screen Actors Guild Awards for Outstanding Performance by a Male
Actor in a Drama Series. He has twice been honored by the Television
Critics Association with TCA Awards for Individual Achievement in Drama.
HOUSE is an innovative take on the medical drama in which the villain is
a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who
trusts no one, least of all his patients. The series also stars Lisa
Edelstein, Robert Sean Leonard, Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, Jesse
Spencer, Olivia Wilde and Peter Jacobson.
HOUSE is from Heel and Toe Films, Shore Z Productions and Bad Hat Harry
Productions in association with Universal Media Studios. Katie Jacobs,
David Shore, Paul Attanasio, Bryan Singer, Russel Friend, Garrett
Lerner, Thomas L. Moran and Hugh Laurie are executive producers.

House’s Hugh Laurie Gets Huge Raise
Hugh Laurie is getting a huge raise: The star of House is set to become one
of the highest paid actors on network TV.
Laurie, who has played the Vicodin-popping curmudgeon Dr. Gregory House for
four seasons, has signed a new deal that will pay him around $400,000 an
episode, confirms The Hollywood Reporter. The Brit's deal also includes
another year on the show (going through the year 2011), and a producing
credit.
House is currently Fox's highest rated drama, and Laurie's pitch-perfect
snarky performance has earned him two Golden Globes and three Emmy
nominations, including one this year. He joins the ranks of such sky-high
earners as Kiefer Sutherland (who earns close to $500,000 per episode) of 24
and CSI's departing William Petersen ($600,000).
