Painless review by Andew Ryan.

Courtney Hazlett in “The Scoop” on msnbc.com talked to Lisa E. at an inauguration party in Washington for the Impact Film Fund Inside, though, I spoke to Lisa Edelstein of “House.” Edelstein’s journey to Washington from L.A. involved one emergency landing and 17 hours of travel; saying she was happy to be here is an understatement. Had to pump her for some info for the rest of the season of “House” (one of my favorite shows) and she said, “Cuddy’s got a baby now and House gets really, really, jealous.” Can’t wait. link

House MD 5x13 Preview #1 - preview of House S5E13, aired over closing credits of S5E12 ("Painless"). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WAUd9cfH_Q&feature=channel_page

The 100th Episode gets a little write-up in the new TV Guide (with Barack and Michelle Obama on the cover): Is anybody happy on House? That's the nagging question on this landmark 100th episode. The patient causing everyone to do some soul-searching: a famous cancer researcher who quit her job eight months earlier to find personal happiness, "doing what I want when I want." Cuddy, unhappy because work keeps her from her foster daughter, spends the hour pranking and punishing eternally grumpy House, who isn't buying any of this navel-gazing. Wilson is moping because he can't move on from the death of his girlfriend, Amber. Foreman believes "people have a right to be happy," but he may be the most miserable of all, as his manipulation of bedmate Thirteen's experimental clinical trial for Huntington's disease has unforeseen and potentially dire consequences. And what makes us unhappy, you ask? The complete absence of Cameron and Chase, who've been marginalized ever since House adopted his new team. Still, as long as this show keeps churning out fascinating diagnostic mysteries - and there's no end in sight - who's complaining? - Matt Roush

Slightly different than what we've already seen. Ausiello Spoilers from Entertainment Weekly. At chase_cameron House cures its "Chameron" problem Jennifer Morrison and Jesse Spencer's HMO must have finally caved, because next season-at long last- the in-love Drs. Cameron and Chase will once again be making regular rounds on House. "Significant, potentially game-changing stuff in the last half-dozen episodes this season," hints executive produce David Shore. As a result, the actors- who have only popped up sporadically in far-flung corners of the hospital since Dr. Crankypants fired them and hired new underlings - will be reintegrated in a big way. "I haven't been happy with ," says Shore. "The quality is still there, it's the quantity I'd like to see more of." He'll have no argument from "Chameron" fans, many of whom have taken their frustration out on Olivia Wilde's Thirteen, because they feel she's shanghaied the show with her romance with Foreman (Omar Epps) and struggle with Huntingston's disease. (They've even taken to deriding House as "The Thirteen Hour".) "It's unfair", says Shore. "One definitely has nothing to do with the other." For her part, Morrison admits that although the last two years have been creatively..er, stifling, she has never doubted that her patient load would grow. "There was a point at which Robert Sean Leonard wasn't working very much, then by the end of season 4 he was in every scene," she muses. "So there are always going to be ebbs and flows in terms of how much we're working." Spencer, meanwhile, is more blunt: "It's due time that they brought us back in more often."

From Ask Ausiello: Question: Please tell me that Wilson will have more screen time on House soon. I've been missing the guy lately. -- Ryan Ausiello: Dr. Crankypants' soul mate BFF gets some quality time in the 100th episode on Feb. 2 when he finally (and completely) makes peace with Amber's death. The landmark episode also finds one of the show's couples contemplating parenthood.

There is a wonderful photo of Hugh with the TVG synopsis of #100 that vitawash99 posted above. The caption is a quasi-spoiler. In the 100th episode, we learn that House has a pet name for his cane. (but it's too good to give away in advance!) All guesses to Spoiler discussion. :D

It's official: House and Cuddy will do the deed this season. Ausiello interviewed DS, KJ, HL, and LE at the 100th episode party. The link is worth reading even if you don't like the House-Cuddy pairing; there are some great quotes by Hugh.

Latest from Korbi: I like that Cuddy isn't living happily ever after now that she has her baby. She seems stressed and exhausted, which is totally realistic for a new mom. But I guess that will go away now that Cameron's taking over her work responsibilities. -CK Maybe not, actually. KTV reporter Marisa Roffman just asked Lisa Edelstein about this story line and she said it will continue: " is not the mother she thought she would be. She doesn’t know how to do her job, be a mother and take care of House all at the same time. She thinks she has to give something up, but she doesn’t know what that will be. It could be any one of those things. Or none of them. She really doesn’t know. She wanted for so long, but in episode, the reality of what mommyhood really is hits her. She’s unprepared." How long is Cameron going to be taking Cuddy's place as the Dean of Medicine? -Patrick House will actually drive Cameron away from her temporary job in just one ep. Cuddy has to come back much sooner than expected and she decides to make House as miserable as possible by pulling some nasty pranks that physically hurt him. But the cranky doc has a surprising method of dealing with Cuddy's anger... No, not seducing her. That won't happen till later this season. I'm so excited for the House-Cuddy (aka "Huddy") love scene. Any details? -Soon Lisa Edelstein seems excited for it, but said she doesn't believe it will really change too much: "I don’t think you’re going to see two people skipping away into the sunset. It wouldn’t be interesting. It’s David Shore writing this story. David Shore doesn’t want anyone to be happy, apparently." All everyone talks about is Huddy! Do you have any news on my favorite House pairing, Foreteen?- Lisa Things between Foreman and 13 will get serious, fast. In fact, Foreman is so crazy about 13 that he is going to switch her drug trial meds from the placebo to the real deal without telling her, risking his career and the clinical trial in the process. When she starts experiencing serious reactions to the actual medication, Foreman will come clean. A good portion of the 100th episode is spent trying to undo the damage the experimental drugs did to 13. But fans of Foreteen shouldn't fret, because she's far more forgiving of Foreman's actions than you might expect...
