iTunes accounts are based on where your credit card account is based. So if you're using a U.S. credit card account, no matter where you are, you can download U.S. content. On the flip side, you can't download European or Japanese-only content. (Like the "import" discs you'll see in good record shops in the U.S.)

On the flip side, you can't download European or Japanese-only content. (Like the "import" discs you'll see in good record shops in the U.S.) Good point, but you can also get around that by buying an account card. The Japan site accepts them, my friend's get a lot of their stuff that way. The good news, NBC is back on ITunes. The bad news- I just spent two hours updating all three machines with the new ITunes 8.0

For those who don't peek at the spoiler thread, Ausiello says that House will be on the cover of Entertainment Weekly on sale Friday. What I want to know is, if it's on sale Friday, how come I never get my subscription copy until Saturday, Monday, or sometimes Tuesday?

General article about House and what makes it good, with comments by David Shore, here at canada.com. Contains very minor spoilers for season 5. interesting excerpt: Shore wouldn't say whom he's courting to appear in episodes of House this season - the roles have to be written first - but he admitted it would be a wry wink-and-a-nod to House's fan following to find room for Laurie's longtime friends and acting colleagues - from their Cambridge University and Footlights Dramatic Club days - Emma Thompson and Stephen Fry. "Both of their names come up, but we have nothing planned. I would love to do something - but I don't want to have them turn up just for the sake of their turning up. First, we have to come up with a storyline that really works. That, for me, is the reason House has worked as well as it has over the years. For everything there is a reason.'' Sure, we've heard it before. But it's nice to know they are still thinking about it and want to do it right, if they go ahead with it. ETA: 7 HiRes promo stills of 502 are up at housedaily. Obviously spoilery (but nothing that hasn't made the rounds in the media).

For those who don't peek at the spoiler thread, Ausiello says that House will be on the cover of Entertainment Weekly on sale Friday. Which means I will get my copy sometime around December :(

LOL. I just listened to an interview with Dara Torres. She talked for like a minute about how her trainer hooked her on House, and she was watching the show while filing her nails the night before her 50m freestyle race, which she lost "by a fingernail" aka 0.01 seconds.

At the very end of tonight's Extra, there's a brief glimpse of Hugh's photoshoot for the Entertainment Weekly cover and a picture of the cover. Seated, heavier beard than normal for House (I think...), grey suit, pale blue? shirt and tie. I'd post a screencap, but the recording that would be easy to grab at the moment crapped out before it got to that point :(

And the hunt for EW outtakes begins...

I was hoping Extra would have a behind-the-scenes video on their site, but I didn't see anything earlier tonight.

I was about to say that what I liked best about the interview with Shore was that it didn't deal with shippiness, until I remembered it talked about House's friendship with Wilson. I am easily amused. Anyway, I wish he'd spoken more about the medical aspect but I liked that he said he's not swayed by fans or ratings, and spoke about portraying all sides of issues.

LE is pregnant. The House star, 41, has been telling friends she's having a baby with her artist boyfriend Giammario Villa. "Lisa is thrilled beyond belief that she's having a baby," says an insider. "She really didn't know if she was ever going to have a baby because she hadn't met the right guy, but then along came Giammario earlier this year to sweep her off her feet. She's finally at the right stage in her life and dating the right guy. Things just couldn't be any better!"

Wow, while i'm really, really happy for Lisa. :) I don't want to see no Huddy baby!

Mazel Tov, Lisa and Giammario. That's going to be a beautiful baby.

Wow, I wan't expecting to read this, this morning! Good for her, I hope everything goes very well for her.
