Hugh Laurie appeared at a special question and answer session with fans of House in LA yesterday, now officially the most popular fiction show on television across the world! His costar Robert Sean Leonard joked about Hugh's grumpiness on set, saying, "He's every bit as complicated as House and absolutely every bit as misanthropic and miserable which makes me love him very, very much. It really makes him a joy to be around."

The start of Summer means the return of my Five Questions series, where I reflect on the most recent seasons of some favorite shows and chat about their challenges for the future. Today, I'm posing some questions for House, also known as "the world's most popular show."
How long will House stay hospitalized?

Grumpy, witty ol' Dr. House and his team have won over audiences all around the world, according to a poll conducted by ratings agency Eurodata TV Worldwide. In 2008, Fox's House apparently "gathered more than 81.8 million viewers in 66 countries, representing a potential 1.6 billion viewers."

Hugh Laurie was spotted at LAX yesterday, managing to walk through the terminal mostly undetected with his rather bushy beard and cap pulled down low over his eyes. Having worked with buddy Stephen Fry for many years, Hugh's been seeing a lot of him at work more recently, thanks to Stephen's guest starring role on Bones, which films in the next studio to Hugh's series House! Hugh's been speaking out about Stephen's obsession with Twitter, and how he doesn't understand it, saying:
"I think if people were able to take these 140 characters and develop a poetic Western form - a haiku of our own in which all human existence could be compressed into those 140 characters - that would be a satisfying thing, but that's not what I see when I read them."

After last week's episode of House, I wondered how House would cope in a world where he was no longer on drugs. I was also curious to see what would happen to the sexual tension between House and Cuddy now that they've apparently done the deed. How did it all go down in Monday's season finale?

This week's House finds House still struggling with his hallucinations of Amber and wanting to get them out of his head for good. That sends him to his friends for help — with intriguing consequences. Meanwhile, Cameron asks Chase a potentially relationship-changing favor, and House's team works on a case alone.

For the second year in a row, House seems to have really kicked it up a notch at the end of its season. Last year, the fantastic plotline was the death of Amber and the way it disrupted the bromance of House and Wilson. This year's killer story once again involves Amber — but now, she's back as some kind of apparition, haunting House and giving voice to some of his meanest and most devious thoughts.

Back when Amber was competing for a job as one of House's fellows, I sometimes thought of her as House's perfect counterpart — his mirror image. Well, I didn't mean it literally! But in this week's House, Amber is essentially haunting our cranky doctor, showing up as a hallucination and speaking his thoughts.

Five shows in their fifth seasons have celebrated the shooting of their 100th episodes — and all with some kind of awesomely huge (or, in the case of Lost, intricately detailed!) cake. Check out my slideshow of pictures from 100th episode celebrations for Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, House, Lost and The Office. They all look so delicious!

Hugh Laurie was spotted in London over the weekend, keeping his fitness in check by taking a run with his gorgeous pet dog. His TV show House is moving home in the UK, as Sky1 will be airing it from its fifth series which starts this summer on the channel, while Five keeps the rights of the first four seasons. Lets not forget that Hugh's also a published author, and his novel The Gun Seller —a spy spoof was published in the UK in 1996 — has sold more than 100,000 copies in France since its release in February by a little-known new publishing house!
