Before Lin-Manuel Miranda was winning over critics on Broadway, he won over the biggest grouch House, M.D. How lovable was the 29-year-old in that 2009 episode?
Tell me I am not the only person who was shocked to find out that Hugh Laurie was British? He did such a great American accent on House, I thought he really was a Yankee. Turns out he has a problem saying that baseball team’s home state’s name like a true person from The States. Today on Live with Kelly and Ryan, he revealed that he hard time saying New York with an American accent. Which is interesting because House took place one state down and you would think New Jersey would be harder to say. But I am NYer, I think everything about Jersey is worse!
Believe or not had Sarah Jessica Parker said no to Sex and the City, Lisa Edelstein was all set to play the role. She told Access Hollywood, the contract was signed and she was ready to go. But as we know SJP said yes and Edelstein wound up starring in House and Girlfriend’s Guide to Divorce years later.
Could you imagine if Sarah Jessica said no and Lisa was Carrie Bradshaw? Would that mean that Parker would’ve been Cuddy? Could you imagine how hot things would’ve been between House and her?
In the long run, everything happened just as it was supposed to because I can’t imagine anyone else but them playing their roles. Can you?
Last year Jimmy Kimmel Live staged a reunion between the female Friends and now he did the same for George Clooney with ER. The only people that were missing is well everyone else who was on the medical drama. Instead he found a substitute to put on his scrubs again, Hugh Laurie brought House back for one night only.
After watching Doug Ross and House try their worst to save the ABC late night host’s life, I think they need to have medical sitcom together. It isn’t like Clooney didn’t do comedy called ER before he did the serious one and Laurie is just a genius in everything he does.
One final note, I didn’t realize how old Clooney got since I saw him back in the hospital.
Jason Sudeikis was recently on Watch What Happens Live, and Andy Cohen asked him to come up with a few questions for his fiancee when she was on the Bravo show. Yesterday, when Olivia Wilde was on the show, it was time for her to play Plead the Fifth.
The first question that her baby daddy asked her was, “Olivia, what’s the wildest place you’ve done the deed?” Opting not to answer that question, she plead the fifth. A mistake she quickly regretted when she realized what his next question was. He asked, “Olivia, you’ve played a bisexual character, more than once, have you ever dipped into the lady pond in real life?” She was horrified as she realized there was no way to get out of the question. So she responded to him by saying, “I appreciate all people.” Cohen took that as a yes even though she never responded.
I hope Sudeikis remembers what it was like to have sex with Wilde because he is not going to get again anytime soon for asking her those question on national television.
