You Couldn't Make It Up: Actor Hugh Laurie Becomes L'Oréal's New Male Cosmetics Ambassador
Age: 52.
Appearance: Ageing like a fine red wine.
You mean because he's worth more with every passing year? No, I mean because he seems to get better-looking as he ages.
Why is that? Perhaps because the lines under his eyes make that impish yet world-weary stare all the deeper and more alluring. Maybe the three thick wrinkles of his forehead are a three-line whip to the female libido, and the ash-grey specks in his unkempt hair are like hallmarks on silver, assuring us that this is a man who has lived long and loved hard and who knows, above all, what it is to be a man.
Or maybe? Or maybe it's because he's started wearing makeup.
Really? Well, he's just become the new male cosmetics ambassador for L'Oréal, which would be a fairly odd thing to do if you'd never actually used the stuff.
And what will he do as ambassador? State visits? In his own words, he'll be standing tall as a man "[not] afraid to proclaim that using cosmetics can be a very masculine decision after all". That and posing for some glossy photographs.
Does he need the money? Unlikely, given that he's the highest-earning actor on US television, at a rumoured $400,000 per episode for his starring role in medical drama House.
Then why is he hawking male beauty products? Maybe he just very strongly believes in the rights of men to wear makeup.
As in "Foundation is the foundation of a just society"? OK, not that.
Then what? Maybe it's all part of his plan to constantly reinvent himself. He has, after all, already made the transition from comedian to heart-throb actor via novelist, director and blues singer.
Sure, but that doesn't explain the male cosmetics bit. Then, to quote the finest song he ever wrote: "Well then, I guess, it's just a mystery."
Do say: "Because I'm worth it . . ."
Don't say: ". . . specifically, $400,000 an episode, and clearly that's still not enough.
"Стареет как хорошее красное вино - становится лучше с каждым годом. Почему? Возможно, потому что морщинки под глазами делают этот шаловливый и одновременно утомленный взгляд еще глубже и завлекательнее. Может быть, три глубокие морщины на лбу - это трех-хвостая плетка для женского либидо, а седые пряди его непослушных волос - словно проба на серебре, говорящие, что этот человек прожил долгую жизнь и познал глубокую любовь и знает, что значит быть мужчиной. И т.д."
Мне ее переводы очень нравятся Мне до святости- 3 шага- оторвать рога, отпилить копыта, вырастить крылья
Это не волчанка Лиза Кадди ушла от доктора Хауса Статья целиком здесь
Убийственная статья... Такое ощущение, что автор или не смотрел сериал, или смотрел под какими-то стимуляторами...
Вот парочка выдержек:
Quote
Самой Лизе Грегори тоже время от времени снится. Правда, ей представляются другие ситуации - например, в одном из снов Кадди вместе с Хаусом отстреливается от боливийской армии.
Один раз приснился... Но автору виднее, поэтому - время от времени
Quote
Кроме того, в конце пятого сезона Лиза помогает Грегори избавиться от зависимости от викодина. Правда, зрители отнеслись к этому достижению Кадди неоднозначно. Многие сочли, что вместе с зависимостью Хаус потерял и часть своей привлекательности. Поэтому позже привычка Грегори глотать колеса вернулась.
Мутная какая-то статья, такое впечатление, что Лиза автору чем-то насолила Может он какое пари из за нее проиграл? Мне до святости- 3 шага- оторвать рога, отпилить копыта, вырастить крылья
Жжесть Хотя, в принципе, после градусника, засунутого в ягодичную мышцу, я уже ничему не удивляюсь от наших Ну и, ессно, все обитающие на форумах основные слухи по поводу причины ухода собрали

BEVERLY HILLS, CA--Hugh Laurie knows how to make an exit. The star of House blasted away from the TCA press tour hotel in his fire engine red, '66 Ford Galaxie 500. The Hilton car jockeys left it parked right outside the front door as Laurie worked press tour, promoting PBS's Let Them Talk--A Celebration of New Orleans Blues, set to premiere Sept. 30. It allowed for a quick getaway as Laurie bolted the stage and made a B-line for the exit, avoiding questions about that weird House finale and the departure of Lisa Eidelman.

Первое интервью Лисы после ухода из Хауса Exclusive: Lisa Edelstein Opens Up About Her 'Disappointing' House Exit and Good New Gig
A funny thing happened to Lisa Edelstein soon after the news broke that she wouldn’t be returning to House this fall: She started getting phone calls. A lot of phone calls, from people who wanted to work with her. “It was a really nice feeling,” she tells TVLine in her first interview since tendering her resignation from the Fox hit back in May. “It was a new position for me, and it was very exciting.” One of the first overtures to come her way was made by the producers of The Good Wife, who offered her a three-episode arc as Celeste Serrano, a lawyer with ties to Josh Charles’ Will. As she began work on the CBS drama this morning, the actress called from the set to discuss her new gig and reflect on all things House — including her sudden exit, the shocking season finale and whether she’d ever return as Cuddy.
TVLINE | Three months later, how are you feeling about your House departure. It was very sad and very disappointing and a really difficult decision to make. But ultimately I felt like it was the best thing for me to do for myself and for my business. I’m really looking forward to some of the great things I have on my plate right now. That’s pretty much what I’m focusing on. It’s interesting to throw yourself back out there into the world after you’ve had such an amazing job after seven years. You get cushy about it, and you lay back and you let yourself be taken care of for a while. And having to get your hustle back on is both terrifying and really exciting.
TVLINE | Given how the season ended, I’m guessing you didn’t walk away with a sense of closure storyline-wise. No. Definitely not. It wasn’t an expected turn of events — for anybody. But that’s what happens sometimes.
TVLINE | What was your reaction to that finale? [Laughs] People were really up in arms! They thought House was trying to kill Cuddy. I totally understand their argument. How could you drive a car into a house where you know that your friends are, where you know there’s a child, and not think that? It really is homicidal. Although in the script it didn’t read that way because it was very clear that [Cuddy and her friends and family] had left that room. It’s still a very extreme thing to do. It definitely pushes the envelope quite a bit.
TVLINE | Did you think it was out of character for House? The problem is in order to affect any kind of change for a character like that you have to go to extreme places, [but] maybe it was too extreme for the audience. It’s just not that kind of show. Was it out of line in terms of the creative path? No. It makes sense on just a purely creative level. But in terms of it being on a network television show, I think it went too far for a lot of people.
TVLINE | The show picks up this fall with House in jail. Do you think that’s a fair punishment? [Laughs] I guess so. I don’t know.
TVLINE | If this turns out to be the show’s final season, would you be open to returning as a guest star? I haven’t talked to anyone over there so it would seem unlikely. Who knows what I’ll be doing. I have a lot on my plate. I wouldn’t want to answer that and get anyone’s hopes up. It doesn’t seem like that’s the direction anyone is going in.
TVLINE | It sounded like that was the direction David Shore was going in when I spoke to him recently. Well, I can’t have a conversation with David Shore via Michael Ausiello. [Laughs] It might be a bolder move for someone to pick up a phone.
TVLINE | What can you tell me about your Good Wife character? It’s already out there that she has ties to Will. She has a history with Will. She’s a lawyer with pliable ethics. [Laughs]. She really enjoys the gamble and the game of law. She’s also a professional gambler. She’s been playing for a long time and she has a history with Will in that world as well. So everything that she does is all about the risk, and it’s really fun — especially [in contrast] to Alicia [Julianna Margulies] who has to be so held together. This woman doesn’t have any of those rules in her life.
TVLINE | Rumor has it Celeste and Will were former partners. I don’t know anything about us being business partners. I know that we gambled together. I know that we have a romantic history.
TVLINE | Is it possible your three-episode arc could be extended? Who knows? I like [the length of the stint] because I’m here for a solid month and then I’m available to go back to work in Los Angeles. But I love working, so if they want to continue with this character we’ll see what happens down the road.
TVLINE | What’s next? I hear you’re developing a few things. Can you say anything about that? Not yet. There’s a project I’m doing on my own that [has required] so much research that I feel like I’m getting ready for a dissertation. And I’m also working with a producer on a possible new series. So it’s all very up in the air at the moment, but my creative juices are flowing. I really want to get more into the producing side so I can participate a little bit more.
TVLINE | Would the ideal scenario be producing a series that you’re also the lead of? I don’t care if I’m the star. I really like to be part of an ensemble. Hugh [Laurie]‘s life is extremely limited by those 14-hour days, and to add producing on top of that is a big task. I more just want to use my brain as much as I possibly can.
Лиске грустно и тяжело было уходить... Что за мазохизм??? Зачем тогда себя было мучать? Осталась бы...

Все так! Неужели Шор надеялся, что это можно как-то по другому расценить?
