'House' Actress Admits to Being a Club Kid:

House star Lisa Edelstein has a dark past - she was the New York party regular dubbed the "Queen Of The Night" by famed gay socialite James St. James. The actress, who now plays straight-laced hospital boss Dr. Lisa Cuddy on the hit medical drama starring Hugh Laurie, was once a wild child on the Manhattan party scene.

I've got to say I have no I have no idea what this means outside of what I just read on WikiPedia. Anyway...

Some talk of Stephen Fry being on House:

Amongst them was talk of him appearing in an episode of House with long-term comedy partner Hugh Laurie. Stephen said, "maybe the upcoming season will see me in it. I like the idea of playing either an even nastier doctor than Hugh, or possibly a cleverer one who's nicer and really p***** him off."

Some might consider it a spoiler, so that's how I'll mark it. Personally, it's nothing shocking (highlight below).

Being shot by an angry widower in the season finale won't trigger an epiphany for the cynical and sarcastic master diagnostician, says the Canadian-born creator of the hit show House. ...

Not that House doesn't have his own character flaws. The brilliant pill-popping doctor, who munches Vicodin for pain in his leg, will see his addictions escalate during Season 3.

"He's going to get in trouble with the drugs," said Shore.

There were fleeting moments last season when House appeared to show glimmers of humanity and decency. Don't get used to that.

MediaBlvd Magazine has a writeup/interview with Garrett Lerner, Co-Executive Producer and Writer of House:

Having worked on eight other television series before now, Lerner reveals that the hit Fox show House -- a medical drama that follows Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie), a maverick physician whose unconventional thinking and flawless instincts help those around him to overlook his non-existent bedside manner -- is by far his favorite. “It’s nothing against any of the other shows. My second favorite is probably Roswell, which was an incredible experience. There’s something magical that happens on very few shows, and House is one of those shows, where you’re just blessed with the perfect combination of actors. We’re allowed to tell stories that have ambiguous endings and embrace the gray areas. It’s just a magic carpet ride.” ...

Along with being his favorite job, thus far, Lerner says that House is also ideal because he loves the opportunity to write real world scenarios. “We wrote action stuff for a time, and there’s a certain fun to that. We wrote sci-fi for a time, and there is a magic in getting to do fantastical stuff. But, at the end of the day, I have the most fun writing real world stuff because it’s the easiest to relate to and apply your own life experience to. The thing that made Roswell so enjoyable was that the sci-fi element was small, and it was really an allegory for being an outsider, so it was relatable. As a writer, you’re delivering the best work when you’re stating something about how you experience the world.”
