Here are the rest of the House cast members telling their takes on the last portion of the 5th season of House. (With the obvious exception of Robert Sean Leonard. I wish he would do more of these types of things.)

House star Omar Epps tells us how it felt to film the scene with Kutner’s death. Then he gives us his view of the Foreteen relationship…very interesting! And I love how he discusses House’s addiction and drug use history. I think you’ll enjoy this clip:

And here, Lisa Edelstein tells us what she thinks Cuddy’s role was when Kutner died. She also addresses House’s emotional crisis and the relationship between House & Cuddy.

I hope you’ll join with me in sending very happy birthday wishes to Peter Jacobson who plays Chris Taub on House. Today is his 44th birthday.

Did you know that Hugh Laurie stays in his American accent all day when he’s on the House set? It seems perfectly logical that he would, but see what reaction Peter Jacobson had when Hugh spoke in his native British accent one day on set.

In this interview with Hollywood 411, Peter also talks about how the fellow cast members have reacted toward him as one of the “Newbies” on set. See why he thinks that Dr. House is so popular, even though he’s such a grouchy, snarky character. And find out the surprising fans he discovered recently:

Episode 5.16: The Softer Side
Air Date: February 16, 2009

In this episode of House it looks like the leg pain has finally become so intolerable that House will start to try to deal with it in a new and more dangerous way. Knowing that he’s a Vicodin addict and has done everything from drop acid to sticking a knife in a socket up until now, there’s no telling what his new “treatment” will consist of…

And the patient is another child whose parents aren’t honest with House…gee, what are the chances of that?

Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard, C) and Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein, R) are surprised to learn that House (Hugh Laurie, L) has found a new way to treat his leg pain in the HOUSE episode “The Softer Side” airing Monday, Feb. 16 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Episode 5.14: The Greater Good
Air Date: February 2, 2009

To get us excited about the House 100th episode that will air on Monday, FOX has released a bunch of promo video clips. It looks like things between Foreman & Thirteen are going to get rough and Thirteen is going to have health issues…perhaps even be blinded. And the patient tells why she stopped practicing medicine to work in a restaurant kitchen. I actually can identify with what she says…who among us hasn’t at some time in our life asked ourselves if there was something else that would make us happy? And the fact that Cuddy & House go on some sort of escalating retaliation looks fantastic! This looks like a very cool episode!

And here are the Photos and the Press Release for the episode.

Episode 5.14: The Greater Good
Air Date: February 9, 2009

Here’s the FOX press release for the next episode of House, the 100th episode. In this episode, I think I most look forward to Cuddy’s retaliation against House. I saw a promo clip (I’m trying to track it down for you) where House trips and falls on his face with the cane sliding across the floor away from him. Since I know he’s not really disabled, it looks like a very funny scene and I know that Hugh Laurie will play it to its most hilarious!

Press Release:
100. A SEMIPERFECT NUMBER. A SEMIPERFECT MAN.
“HOUSE” CELEBRATES MILESTONE 100TH EPISODE
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2, ON FOX

The prognosis is excellent for the brilliant, anti-social anti-hero Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) and his colleagues at Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital as HOUSE celebrates a milestone 100th episode Monday, Feb. 2 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

In the 100th episode, “The Greater Good,” House and the team take on the case of a woman who collapsed in the middle of a cooking class. When they learn that the patient gave up her career as a highly renowned cancer researcher in order to pursue her own personal happiness, the members of the team question their own happiness (or lack thereof). Meanwhile, Thirteen (Olivia Wilde) begins to suffer serious and life-threatening reactions to her experimental Huntington’s Disease clinical drug trial, and Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein) retaliates against House and gives him a taste of his own medicine.

Over the course of five seasons, House has proven no bar is too low and has shocked those around him with the lengths he will go in order to prove he’s right – from faking brain cancer to score drugs (“Half Wit”) to pulling a hair out of his father’s corpse to test the DNA (“Birthmarks”) to kidnapping his favorite soap star because he’s convinced the actor has an illness he doesn’t yet realize (“Living the Dream”).

Many notable guest stars have appeared on the show over the last 100 episodes including Academy Award winners Mira Sorvino and Joel Grey; Emmy Award winners Sela Ward, Cynthia Nixon, John Larroquette, Željko Ivanek and Charles S. Dutton; recording artists/actors Dave Matthews, LL Cool J, Brandy and Fred Durst; as well as David Morse, who received an Emmy Award nomination for his role on HOUSE. Other notable appearances include Ron Livingston, Anne Dudek, Carmen Electra, Julie Warner, Greg Grunberg, Chi McBride, Samantha Mathis, Lori Petty, Michael Michele, Jason Lewis, Kurtwood Smith, PRISON BREAK star Dominic Purcell and John Cho, who stars with HOUSE series regular Kal Penn in the “Harold and Kumar” films.

Winner of three Emmy Awards, including an award for creator and executive producer David Shore (Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series), HOUSE has been honored with 17 Emmy Award nominations, including three for Outstanding Drama Series and three for Hugh Laurie (Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series). The series received the 2006 Humanitas Prize for the episode “Three Stories” and received two Golden Globe Awards for Laurie (Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Series) and [two] Screen Actors Guild Award[s] for Laurie (Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Drama Series) as well as a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination (Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series), two Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Television Series, Drama, two consecutive People’s Choice Awards for Favorite TV Drama, a People’s Choice Award for Hugh Laurie (Favorite Male TV Star) and an NAACP Image Award nomination for Outstanding Drama Series.

Episode 5.15: Unfaithful
Air Date: February 9, 2009

Well, it looks like things are going to get tense for Foreman & Thirteen around the hospital. House is going to give them some sort of an ultimatum…that doesn’t sound pleasant at all. And Foreman’s covert actions regarding Thirteen’s treatment in his clinical trial are still to be discovered. On the other hand, treating a priest who is hallucinating sounds like a classic and fascinating theme for House to play with. I can’t wait!

House (Hugh Laurie, L) gives Thirteen (Olivia Wilde, R) and Foreman (Omar Epps, C) an ultimatum in the HOUSE episode “Unfaithful” airing Monday, Feb. 9 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.

Of course, the men from House were looking hot at last night’s SAG Awards too. I can’t find any photos of Robert Sean Leonard there, but all the rest of the House guys were definitely there. I like the pictures of them smiling, so I waded through all those scowling ones to find you these. Don’t you agree that they look so much more handsome when they smile? Why don’t they realize that?

Yes, the cast and production people who bring us House had yet another celebration for their 100th episode of of our favorite show. This one is different from the others in that they have a new charity t-shirt to promote to raise money for the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI). It’s the second in their series of House-ism t-shirts to raise money for the charity and I like this one even better than the first!

My friends will tell you that my own personal motto for years has been that Normal is highly overrated. And now, it seems that House thinks so too! How exciting! You know I’m ordering a shirt! If you want one too, be sure to go here on the NAMI web site to get yours. You’ll also feel good, knowing that you are helping a very worthy cause!

But that’s not all. The cast and executive producers all wore the new House-ism t-shirts for the party and here are a bunch of great photos of them in the shirts:

Episode 5.14: The Greater Good
Air Date: February 2, 2009

This is the much-anticipated 100th episode of House. As promised, Foreman & Thirteen will run into some ethical issues with Foreman’s clinical trial and Thirteen’s treatment for Huntington’s Disease. Cuddy will be dealing with trying to balance work and caring for an infant and the patient will obviously be hiding something very critical to the case. Can you tell that I’m looking forward to this one?

House (Hugh Laurie, R) and Cuddy (Lisa Edelstein, L) come to an understanding in the HOUSE 100th episode “The Greater Good” airing Monday, Feb. 2 (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) on FOX.
