It’s one thing to hate House for his indefensible actions at the end of last season that saw the not-so-good doctor purposely crash his car into Cuddy’s dining room, but it’s another thing entirely to hate his real-life alter ego Hugh Laurie. Or at least that was our takeaway following a brief one-on-one with affable actor who was kind enough to take the time to submit to a few probing questions with regards to his show’s upcoming eighth season at Fox’s recent Fall launch. Don’t believe us? We defy you to not fall for the best thing to come out of the UK since Harry Potter when he says “House was a very naughty boy” in his intoxicatingly appealing British accent. Seriously. See for yourself after the jump. [Read more…]

LUTHER Returns Sleeker, Sexier and Scarier Than Ever
For fans of LUTHER, the galvanizing British police procedural, the second season comes back strong and with a vengeance. It is a no-holds-barred intense drama with thrilling mystery and agonizing moral dilemmas. The first episode flawlessly weaves the stories of a serial killer seeking his 15-minutes of fame by staging random murders, the life of young call-girl who may or may not need saving, and a sociopath who identifies so strongly with our hero, that she will literally do anything for him — including stalking the killer he hunts.
LUTHER revitalized standardized story-telling by upping the ante in its first season; for LUTHER has never been afraid to peer into the darkness and see what peers back. [Read more…]

We Preview the Pain that Awaits Connor Paulo’s Declan Porter on Tonight’s Episode of REVENGE
After spending the better part of four seasons embedded amongst the poisonous backstabbing Upper East Siders that inhabited the not-so-wonderful world of GOSSIP GIRL, actor Connor Paulo knows a thing or two about revenge. Or so he thought. For as it turns out, the scheming likes of Blair Waldorf and Georgina Sparks have got nothing on the rich and powerful denizens of the Hamptons. So just what’s a boy to do? Well, we recently had the opportunity to catch up with affable actor to find out just that. See for yourself what Paulo had to tease about the pain that awaits his character — both of the physical and emotional variety — in ABC’s maddeningly addictive new series REVENGE, after the jump.
