The Courier Mail has an interview with Omar Epps with House being a major subject, of course.
AFTER two seasons playing Dr Eric Foreman on House, Omar Epps decided it was time to change the way he approached the role.
"I am not watching the show this year," Epps says of the Channel 10 medical drama.
"I was getting too comfortable with the character and that was making my performance forced instead of just being in the moment, so I have had to become a bit detached from it.
"By watching myself on the show, the mannerisms and subtleties of the character were getting emphasised and I just didn't know it, so this way I am keeping it creatively fresh.

No shock here: Fox has renewed House for a fourth season.
With the breaks we've had this season, it feels like we're already there.

02/14: House Breaking for 3 Weeks

As you probably figured out if you watched the preview of the next episode after last night's episode, House will be breaking for 3 weeks. How many breaks have there been this season?!
02/13: Episode 60 - Insensitive
Posted by Patrick
The preview, from FOX:
HOUSE DIAGNOSES AN INJURED YOUNG WOMAN UNABLE TO FEEL PAIN, AS HE AND THE TEAM SEARCH TO FIND THE SOURCE OF HER CONDITION ON “HOUSE,” TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 13, ON FOX
It’s Valentine’s Day at Princeton-Plainsboro and the ER is short-staffed due to a snowstorm. House encounters Foreman’s latest patient, Hannah, who has sustained injuries from a car accident with her mother, Abby. House notices that despite her best efforts to act injured, Hannah is not feeling a bit of pain. House determines that Hannah has an incredibly rare condition that makes her completely insensitive to pain, and he takes a special interest in her case. He orders further testing to see if Hannah has any serious injuries from the car accident that she may not be able to feel, including an unnecessary procedure that causes Cuddy and Wilson to question his motives. Meanwhile, Abby undergoes surgery for her own injuries sustained in the car accident. Hannah refuses further examination and demands to see her mother, but House has little sympathy. She and House argue about which of their lives is worse, Hannah who is impervious to pain or House who suffers from pain constantly. When Hannah passes out and her temperature spikes, the doctors realize that Hannah is much sicker than they had thought. The team takes drastic measures in an attempt to inflict pain on Hannah to measure her pain threshold, but her condition only worsens. House adamantly pushes for a spinal nerve biopsy that could leave her paralyzed, a risky procedure in which few see the benefit, especially Cuddy and Wilson, who accuse House of pushing the test to get information that may benefit his own pain management. As Hannah’s body deteriorates without her so much as flinching, House works through his own chronic pain to find out why this young woman cannot feel any pain at all in the “Insensitive” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Feb. 13 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT). (HOU-314) (TV-14 L)

From Hal Boedeker:
At 9 p.m., Fox's "House" needed no ratings medicine: 24.9 million watched Golden Globe-winner Hugh Laurie. CBS' "The Unit" fared best against the towering doc: 12.4 million watched the military drama. The rest: NBC's "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" arrested 8.8 million, ABC's "Primetime: The Outsiders" pulled in 7.4 million; and The CW's "Veronica Mars" was the choice of 2.4 million.

The description of tonight's episode, from FOX:
HOUSE IS ON A MISSION TO GET HIS HANDICAPPED
PARKING SPOT BACK; HOUSE AND THE TEAM TAKE ON THE CASE OF
A TEENAGE GYPSY WHOSE FAMILY REFUSES
ALL MODERN MEDICAL TREATMENTS
ON “HOUSE” TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6 ON FOX
16-year-old Stevie Lipa is admitted to Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital with a serious respiratory condition and internal bleeding. Oddities of his case land him under House and the team’s care, but at the moment, House is irritated to learn that new hospital researcher Dr. Julie Whitmer has been assigned his handicapped parking spot by the hospital entrance. Since she’s in a motorized wheelchair (and he has to walk), he asks her to give up the parking spot, but she refuses. House, determined to get a parking spot closer to the hospital entrance, appeals to Cuddy, who dares him to prove how much he wants the spot by spending one week in a wheelchair – a bet House takes on. As the team tries to get personal history information from Stevie, they can’t seem to get a straight answer out of him, and it’s revealed he’s from a family of gypsies. Stevie’s parents arrive with homeopathic remedies; they won’t consent to House and the team’s suggested course of action, and refuse all modern medical treatment. As Stevie’s body continues to bleed internally, Foreman makes the risky decision to sidestep Stevie’s parents and appeals directly to the teenage patient, putting his medical license on the line while asking Stevie to lie to his parents in the “Needle in a Haystack” episode of HOUSE airing Tuesday, Feb. 6 (9:00-10:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX. (HOU-312) (TV-14 L, S)
