Lisa Edelstein Dishes on House Romance and Brangelina Stealing Her Food

Get the scoop on the actress's upcoming showcase episode "Five to Nine"

A little something you might not know about this Sunday's Golden Globes: Some people  (*cough*Brangelina*cough*) get fed, while others, like poor Lisa Edelstein, sit idly by wasting away.

As a concession prize, Lisa gets to be on one of the best shows on television. Not too shabby! And above, our favorite hot female doc dishes not only on the Brad and Angelina hierarchy but also what's ahead for Cuddy's love life on House.

Warning to fans: Yes, there will be more Lucas (Michael Weston). But it sure doesn't sound like a lasting thing!

Lisa and House executive producer Katie Jacobs also confirmed that Cuddy is going to continue striking out on her own as an independent woman of means, and get an entire episode focused on her.

Here's what else Jacobs told me about Cuddy's future:

"One of the great things about being an older show is that audiences are sufficiently interested in some of our other [non-House] characters to sustain a whole episode. So we did that, I think with great success, with Wilson [earlier this season], and we have coming up now an episode that follows Cuddy. It's called 'Five to Nine,' because unfortunately those are her hours."

The show is giving Ms. Edelstein a character-centric ep, says Katie, "because Lisa is just so completely multitalented. Our castmembers are wonderful dramatic actors, but they're also wonderful comedic actors. There's nothing really Lisa can't do, and it's a very cool episode. I'm excited about it."

The Cuddy episode "Five to Nine" airs Mon., Feb. 8 at 8 p.m. on Fox.

Are you OK with Cuddy spending more time apart from House? How do you feel about House season six? Hit the comments!
