Who wants to keep the doctor away?


On Friday's episode of the Ellen Show, the incredible guests Jennifer Anniston and Kenny Chesney (give me a country singer and I'll watch your show!) were accompanied by TV Guide's Sexiest Man.




My first conscious introduction to Mr Sexy himself was one night last year when I begrudgingly sat down to watch a show someone so desperately wanted to watch. As a smack to my stubbornness, Fox's House M.D. soon became my favorite show.

I say 'conscious' because surprisingly, I have met Hugh before. In fact, as well as being a British soap star, Hugh Laurie has littered children's movies. In 1996's remake of the cartoon 101 Dalmations, we saw Hugh play the infamous Jasper, one of Cruella's men. A year later, my sister's absolute favorite movie (and my least favorite) The Borrowers saw Hugh as the Police Officer. He even played a part in Spice World! I do remember him being the father in Stuart Little and soon, we'll be hearing his voice in the soon to come to theatres cartoon Valiant.

If you haven't already started tuning in to watch House on Tuesday nights at 10:00, then you're really missing out (screw The Amazing Race). And don't just watch Fox for the pretty face. The show is really great too! Mix CSI and ER (or Grey's Anatomy) and you have House. I'd also suggest catching the brilliant Hugh Laurie's British accent if you ever get a chance to. He sounds exactly like Matty! (Or maybe Matty sounds like him!)


*edit*
(Dan thinks I have a crush on both Hugh and Matty. Although they both have fantastic accents and are sexy to boot, I will only admit to being in love with one man.)

Dan, you're anonymous now?

I don't sound like Hugh Lawrie!! He's from Cambridge (ish) and is well posh. I am from Cardiff and am a commoner.

It is surprising you've never heard of him before as Hugh Lawrie has been a huge comedy actor over here for nearly 30 years I reckon, he's very famous. If you ever get a series called Blackadder over there, definately tune in, it's brilliant.

However, it is reassuring that you love only me and not Dan or Lawrie.

ahhh, well I never really noticed him before this time. Now that I *have* noticed Hugh, I have realized the British comedy which started off his career.

But you do sound like him - or at least a little bit (what I mean to say is that neither of you talk like I do!)

Okay so here's the thing Dan and Matty. When Laura says "I will only admit to being in love with one man." She sadly does not mean either of you for her one true love is for Hugh Laurie. I understand that being men you may be oblivious to the fact that she just wrote an ENTIRE blog on him, with some darn sexy pictures if I do say so myself. Not only that though, she is dedicated to watching a whole hour of him every week. She checks him out for a full hour! And he isnt even there to converse with, she just watches him(sounds like a creepy stalker to me)! Not only that though she also downloads every other chance possible to see this beast. Now, I know you guys are jealous, but I admire your self-control in not going and killing him.
With all my love,
Amy

The boycott was short-lived. Though you're in no less trouble.

Okay, so I've watched House since it started... and I never realized that he was the father from Stewart Little.. he just always seemed rather familiar to me. However, unlike you, I am in no way in love with this man. I find that he is interesting on the show.. but he's a little old and really not to my liking. But Laura really.. would you want to be Laura Laurie? how weird is THAT!

Laura said...

Ha, or rather, Laura Louise Laurie.
:D I can't even TYPE that! :D
