Ellen Degeneres' wife Portia De Rossi is thankful she's one half of a Hollywood power couple - because she wants to use her fame to "make a difference" in the fight for gay rights. The openly gay pair wed in 2008, taking advantage of the Supreme Court ruling which legalized same-sex unions[...] Read more!

House Rundown, "5 to 9"

post from BuzzSugar on 09 February 2010 08:45:00 AM. © BuzzSugar

This week's House is all about Cuddy! The show follows the harried single mom through a particularly stressful day at Princeton Plainsboro, and as such, we see the entire series of events from her perspective for a change a la the "Wilson" episode. My verdict: the woman is majorly ruthless. I knew it took big brass ones to deal with House, but she uses that same tenacity to negotiate with an insurance company and a thieving employee.

Not only did I enjoy the switch from the usual patient diagnosis formula, but it also raises a few interesting thoughts. Let's go over some key highlights when you read more.

I had no idea that Cuddy did so much work! We usually see her putting out fires with House, but this time around, we realize that she's having to keep the peace with everyone. I don't know how she does her job and puts up with House's juvenile antics. Did this episode give you a new appreciation for her?
What did you think about the single, multitasking mom angle? Props to the show for depicting a woman trying to "have it all," but somehow it seems borderline cliche - especially when she's taking care of her sick child in a ridiculously low-cut shirt.
I didn't believe for one second that Cuddy was actually going to quit the teaching hospital, did you? Still, it makes you wonder if they are trying to set her up for a spinoff.
Favorite House line of the night: "Ever notice how many porn sites have 'Mom' in the main domain name?" Oh, House, is your mind ever not in the gutter? Another great moment, courtesy of the doc: the massage station.
I would've loved to have seen more from the pharmacy tech Gail who stole $50,000 worth of drugs. What a nutjob!
Lucas kind of got on my nerves this week. He tells House about their sex life (!), he shows up for a quickie with Cuddy even though she's been running around all morning, and he can't even remember to turn the phone back on after a nap. She's just too mature for him (though he did come in handy for that flower microphone). Do you agree, or do you still like them together?
Did we really need that overly dramatized "yes!" scream after Cuddy got her 12 percent? I'm happy for her (come on, we knew she would succeed), but that was over the top.

So did you enjoy the deviation from the usual House episode? Has Cuddy proven herself worthy of her own show? Share your thoughts in the comments, or head over to the House! group to talk more.

This is the 15th in a series of interviews with Survivor Heroes vs. Villains cast members. Courtney and I spent a lot of time discussing her physicality in the game, from actual competition to her weight and the reaction to it. "I'm ready to go out and play in the dirt again," Courtney said. "I can't compete on the same level as the big guys, and I know that, so you have to just get... keep reading »

I'm not going to lie to you. I am one of those incredible bores who bangs on about 'class' all the time. I can't help it because regardless of what people say, it does matter - especially if you're many...

Review - How I Met Your Mother Season 5 Episode
15 Rabbit or Duck

post from The TV Obsessed on 09 February 2010 08:18:00 AM. © The TV Obsessed

The writers took a few ideas and ran with it very, very far. The result was an episode that was all over the place, bordering on fantasy several times, but extremely funny in the process. Being too weird isn't always the best direction to go, and yet HIMYM nails it the majority of times.

The bizarre rabbit or duck analogy comes into play after Ted randomly pulls out a book. Immediately, I saw a duck, and only saw the rabbit later. Either way, you see both eventually, and everyone sans Barney gets into a huge argument. Marshall likes rabbits better, but after a furious discussion, Marshall relents and admits ducks are better.

That set the base for the relationship stuff in the episode. At first, Don is the rabbit, but by the end of the episode, he's looking a lot like a duck to Robin. Ted gets Marshal and Lily to find him a girl to marry, but they forget and grab a girl from Barney's phone (more on that later). Ted chooses a rabbit and goes to a date with a girl he grabbed from Barney's phone prior to that. That too fails, and by the end of the episode he's sitting dejected on the couch next to Robin. They've gone down that road before, but they are so great together I was expecting them to kiss. Scenes like that shouldn't be allowed to exist knowing that it won't happen.

CBS's Super Bowl promotion of HIMYM was Barney at the Super Bowl holding a sign with his phone number. With millions of people watching, Barney got hot girl after hot girl and couldn't decide what to do. It's like a year of his life stuffed into several days. He can't juggle all these girls without going crazy. Maybe he'll learn his lesson. Nah.

Score: 9.4/10

Young adult novelist James Dashner sends Mr.
Media in deep with 'The Maze Runner'

Cover via AmazonBy BOB ANDELMAN

Recommendations are worth what you pay for them, so I don?t always accept them at face value.

But the same literary agent who turned me on to young adult novelist Sara Zarr two years ago thought I?d also enjoy James Dashner?s new YA book, The Maze Runner, enough that he sent me a copy without first asking. And Michael?who, in the interests of full disclosure, represents all three of us?even though there is hardly a bit of similarity between the work of these two authors, you read me pretty well so feel free to recommend something else.

The Maze Runner is the kind of book that teens and youthful readers of all ages in search of an appropriate follow-up to the adventures of Harry Potter will no doubt enjoy. It takes place in a fantastical, impossible place, develops a language of its own, and features characters you will instantly love?and hate. (Sorry, Gally.)

This is the first book in a trilogy from Dashner, who you may already know as author of the 13th Reality series.

(James Dashner website)

AUDIO EXCERPT: "The words in The Maze Runner are never used exactly as replacements for swear words. Their main intent was to give their dialogue a futuristic flavor and that they've been isolated and developed some words on their own."
