Dustin Paddock is a network TV veteran with over a decade of prime time production experience under his belt. He is currently the Script Coordinator on FOX’s medical drama House. Dustin met me at Miracle Mile hotspot Sheddy’s in Los Angeles to discuss the highs and lows of the gig, why he refers to himself as “a closer,” and what Hugh Laurie is like in real life. More »
Naomi Campbell‘s got a billionaire boyfriend and he’s building her a house on the Turkish Isla Playa de Cleopatra. And he’s clearly into the Egyptian name of the island. How do we know this? Because he’s building the house in the shape of the god Horus’ eye.

Horrible Bosses comes out this Friday, and while having a bad boss sucks, a less-than-helpful coworker can be twice as bad. So today while you grumble at an unfair workload or someone who gets by while being chronically late, ask yourself if the guy in the cubicle next to you has ever brought a firearm into work, let a kid drown, or run a car into the boss’ home. It’s all about perspective. More »
Hey guess what? It looks like Lindsay Lohan‘s design aesthetic is a very fervent “pictures of myself, please.” The actress, under house arrest, was recently photographed in her home — and the shots gave us not one, but two self-obsessed portraits. Oh, actors. Here’s a gallery of other celebrities who have used their own visages as decoration. More »
This week we learned that Lisa Edelstein, who plays Dr. Lisa Cuddy on Fox’s House, won’t be returning for the show’s eighth (and probably final) season. The big question, of course, is how House (Hugh Laurie) will function without his boss/ex-lover, and if Edelstein’s exit may have hastened along this season’s House/Cuddy breakup. More »
If Fametracker.com still existed, Anne Dudek would be perfect for their “Hey! It’s That Guy!” feature. The actress has worked steadily over the last few years and created wildly different yet great characters on some of TV’s most popular shows, but she doesn’t have the name recognition of some of her less-talented peers. I’d say “Meet Anne,” but you probably already know her. More »
This week, I am clearly obsessed with the hair of every person on this show. Leah’s changes in every scene, Kieffer’s makes him look like a porcupine, and Jenelle’s probably smells like weed.
Also, I want MTV to branch out and put some of these girls on other shows. Leah’s baby issues would finally get a diagnosis thanks to the team on House, and Judge Judy would have Jo and Kailyn’s custody argument settled in about twenty seconds. More »
Mark Zuckerberg has a new home – And Gawker has the photos. It’s just a few blocks away from his old home and only slightly larger. Think billions of dollars, Zuck! (Gawker)
John Mayer‘s selling his Los Angeles home, located in the super fancy Pacific Palisades area, for an asking price of $1.3 million. That’s just a little but out of our price range, but it didn’t deter us from checking the place out. Aspirations! We’ve got a series of photos straight from inside the “Gravity” singer’s West Coast den of sin. More »
So Mark Zuckerberg is finally taking the big plunge and renting out his $7.6k-a-month apartment in Paulo Alto. The deets are all over at Gawker and his Craigslist ad if you want to see them, but basically it’s a “meh” building that you could get for way cheaper, if you didn’t want to live in the same building once inhabited by the Facebook founder and Justin Timberlake that Napster guy.
But if you have that kind of cash lying around for a 4-bedroom abode that smells like success and sleaze, here’s some necessary restoration changes that we strongly urge you to consider. More »
Cowboys And Aliens Is A Real Movie – Okay wait, so at first I thought this was a joke, or at least a comedy, but then I realized it was a very serious film about what if aliens visited the Wild West starring the guy from Casino Royale,13 from House, and Harrison Ford. Will see. (Videogum)
Oh Right, Those Midterm Election Results – Well, we didn’t legalize pot, sorry dudes. And here are the names of every Democrat who lost their seat in the House. (via The Awl)
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Early yesterday, Ricky Lake called 9-1-1 and told dispatchers her couch was on fire, and could be overheard telling her children that “Mommy had a mistake.” Actually it was her entire house that was on fire, and the phrase should have been “Mommy made a mistake.” More »

Lin Manuel-Miranda, who directed and starred in In the Heights (oh and he was on House a couple times, too!), recently got married. And the proceeding wedding toast makes everyone else who has ever tried to do some nice surprise for their bride look like a total schmuck. Check it out:

Gawker got a hot glimpse today inside of Lady Gaga’s $25k-a-month L.A. mansion, estimated at $16 million total. You know, usually when you’re riding on the crest of your celebrity status, you want to actually settle down and buy property, so that way when you fall victim to the (mostly) inevitably backlash, you can sell your property and survive off of the profit in your tiny bungalow for a couple years until your comeback tour.
Not so for Gaga: Despite the… More »

Devon Michaels (Bill on Gilmore Girls) guest starred in the March 9 episode of House. I admit I didn’t recognize him, even though I watched the episode! In the episode, ‘The Social Contract’, House and his team try to diagnose a condition that has a patient being a little more honest than he’d like to be.
Devon guest starred as Timothy Moore in the episode. Timothy is an author just ready to kick off his book tour. The to-be patient,… More »

Sherilyn was the mother of the troubled teen. The girl has been taunted and teased by her peers, so the doctors must rule out anything they could have done to her.
The episode just aired, so the… More »
