I would so pay money to see these guys jam! 

Here’s some fresh House prattle for you kids: The show has recruited former Hackster David Morse for a multi-episode arc. According to exec producer Katie Jacobs, Morse’s character — a cop named Michael Tritter — will face off with Hugh Laurie in a battle of egos. "House is going to piss off the wrong guy, and that guy just happens to be a cop," Jacobs reveals. "[Tritter’s] really going to hold House accountable. We’re going to have some fun with that."

House’s Lisa Edelstein, who plays hospital administrator Lisa Cuddy, had a little naughtiness on her mind, too. She suggested how her character’s relationship with House (Laurie) should play out: "I’d say we should have a one-night stand that fails miserably. But that’s just me." Laurie said he doesn’t want to know what’s going to happen on the show. "I don’t even want to know what’s going to happen after lunch," he joked. When asked how life has changed since the show got so big, he said, "If I had a life, I’m sure it would be very different. I go from 6 in the morning till 10 at night — work, work, work. Then I watch a TiVo’d version of American Chopper while I eat my cold spaghetti, and I go to bed. That’s my life." When the show was on hiatus, he did "a big fat nothing. I went back to England, and I walked the dog and played the piano."

Hugh Laurie Faq 

As much as I want that to happen, that normally is the death to a show ie Moonlighting, Who’s The Boss, The Nanny and so on.

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.

She says, "What excited me about the club scene was that the people were as different on the outside as I felt on the inside. I just needed to be around people who were expressing themselves."

Edelstein confirms she was Lisa E in the new issue of TV Guide, but she insists she was just a teenager out for a good time and she never got caught up in the seedy drug world St. James wrote about in his book "Disco Bloodbath," which was later turned into the film Party Monster.

She adds, "I’m not saying there weren’t drugs, but the violence that my friend James St. James wrote about in Party Monster came later. I did learn a huge lesson about celebrity, because I had just enough to experience being adored – and then hated."

 Because she did make it afterall.

HOUSE star LISA EDELSTEIN refused to change her name when she first arrived in Hollywood, because she wanted to pay tribute to family members who had died in the Holocaust. The Jewish New Jersey girl admits she lost out on roles because casting agents feared she’d be "too ethnic", even before they agreed to meet her. But Edelstein never considered adopting a more starry moniker. She says, "Most of my parents’ families were killed in the Holocaust, and it would be denying my family line (if I changed my name). It didn’t stop me. I have a great career."
