Stars of the big and small screen got glam for the
People's Choice Awards in LA last night. Carrie Underwood won three awards, and Paris Hilton and Jewel won me over with their pretty dresses.
Nominees announcer Joshua Jackson wasn't in attendance unfortunately, but there were lots of other gorgeous guys to feast our eyes on.
Merry Christmas to all of you who are celebrating today! And to those observing other holidays this season, I hope your days are also warm, cozy, and bright — and maybe even filled with
some new goodies.
To help spread the merriment today, I called on one of Buzz's longtime favorites, Hugh Laurie.
This week's episode of
House just plugs along like normal — a confusing case, a blown diagnosis, maybe a little extra holiday spirit but nothing that out of the ordinary — until suddenly, in the final 15 minutes, it takes one big honkin' emotional turn. Maybe I should have seen it coming, but I was pretty surprised by all the twists this episode took, and it sets up some pretty interesting stuff for when House returns in 2009. Want to chat about it?
After last week's
big hostage episode, this week's installment of
House went for something a little smaller, and you know what? I liked it better. Almost every character got a storyline, and some of them were awfully clever.
At some point or another in our lives, we've probably all been frustrated with the medical system. But frustrated enough to stick up a hospital clinic and take hostages, promising to kill them if you don't get answers? That's what happens in this week's episode of
House, when a gunman (Emmy winner Zeljko Ivanek) bursts into PPH, counting Thirteen and House among his captives.
If last week's episode of
House felt
a little like a placeholder that might just be because tonight's episode is such a doozy. The reason: a gunman — played by
Emmy winner Zeljko Ivanek — finds his way to PPH, demanding to know why he's ill. As House producer Katie Jacobs
explained a while back, it's an episode all about the frustration and indignity of suffering with an undiagnosed disease.
The people you work with can become a sort of weird, twisted family — especially if you spend as much time together as the
House doctors do. It's great to have a close safety net when you need support, but it can also get a little too stifling sometimes. On this week's episode, a few of the doctors seek freedom from the PPH family, with varying results.
On this week's
House, a few of our doctors have some major fears to confront. We finally see Chase and Cameron together again, seemingly at a crossroads in their relationship. Meanwhile, House and Cuddy reach a crossroads of their own after their surprising kiss.
I know there was
important national business to take care of last week, but it's still a shame
House had to take the week off, because I've been so eager to see what would happen in the aftermath of
a certain long-anticipated kiss. Tonight, we'll finally get our chance, as House returns to find House and Cuddy (and Wilson) sorting through what exactly that kiss does or doesn't mean.
That's not all, though: This episode also brings Cameron and Chase together again, at long last, though we'll have to wait till tonight to find out what exactly this reunion entails.
