"I would like to defend. That might be incredible to win consecutive,Inch she informs TVGuide.com. "But honestly I do not really consider that. We have got a lengthy route to go before I'm able to even contemplate it.Inch After landing in the bottom two around the second week, the happy couple continues to be continuously enhancing and Manley thinks they are able to win everything. But exactly what do they have to go completely? Plus: Get Johnson's undertake the Maks-Len fracas. Take a look at photos from Dwts What have you got available for Halloween? Kym Manley: We have got an audio lesson that's type of Halloween-based. We now have the cha-cha after which we are doing they tango with J.R. [Martinez] and Karina [Smirnoff], and Nancy [Sophistication] and Tristan [MacManus]. Team dances will always be a lot fun. ... We are calling ourselves Team Money. I do not fully realize why. It's from Broadway Week it is all about the cash. Another team has got the paso doble. I believe it will likely be really close between us. Everyone got your greatest score for the tango, so David ought to be confident with it, right? Manley: Yeah, exactly. Which was good score, so hopefully we'll have the ability to prosper with that certain. We are attempting to focus on some actions and connect the small things so hopefully we score is going to be better still than our [individual] score. But for the cha-cha, David's clearly never done that yet. We'll need to get his sides moving there, getting into the rhythm and all sorts of. David provides extensive natural rhythm and lots of it's looking to get him to harness it. What is your opinion he still must focus on? Manley: I believe he's way too hard on themself, so she has to begin thinking in themself and getting that confidence. With this, I believe we're able to certainly go completely. How can you help him gain confidence? It isn't like it is a step you can preserve practicing again and again again to nail it. Manley: Right. It's difficult. It's only a matter of me building his confidence up and making them happy about this every single day. It's lots of repetition where I need to enter into his mind to ensure that all this feels second character. We work six, seven hrs each day every single day. We've not were built with a break because the show began. That's just the actual way it goes and that is the way you get results. Read Maks' Dancing blog I felt like things really switched around for you personally following the second week whenever you were within the real bottom two. Manley: Yeah, we understood i was almost from the competition and we have really switched things around since that week. I believe he recognized that, "Wow. This might finish anytime,Inch therefore it kind of gave us second existence. Also within the third week, he danced for his daughter, that was clearly extremely important and inspiring for him. Barbara Ann stated that they thinks we're able to be challengers, and so i think yesteryear couple of days happen to be excellent for David's confidence too. We have to keep that momentum going. She has a lot souped up that sometimes I believe he will burst in the center of a dance. Do you believe way? Manley: [Laughs] That's one factor we must really attempt to contain! His energy might get a bit too crazy, so this is a large challenge for all of us - locating the excitement and exuberance, although not allowing it to get free from control. Which of his enhancements have impressed the most? Manley: His technique and the form, particularly in the ballroom dances. His posture is really far better. He was getting a genuine problem together with his frame and posture within the beginning, but he's really got that repaired now. Many people are centered on chasing after and dethroning J.R. Are everyone or are you currently centered on her? Manley: Just from experience, the very best factor to complete is to pay attention to yourself. It may sound clichéd, but it is true. You cannot control others and also you can't get swept up in cure does great. You need to attempt to perform the best you are able to each week and hopefully you'll finish up within the final and never even understand it. Social Energy Ratings: Team Maks or Team Len? Choose a side, people! What have you think about Maks speaking to Len? Manley: I am talking about, you receive enthusiastic about what you are doing. We put a lot of hrs in it, and so i guess Maks got very enthusiastic about everything. Maybe he could've stated it in a different way, however i get where he was originating from. He's put a lot life blood in it, and i believe he was much more attempting to defend Hope [Solo]. Chaz Bono also were not impressed with the idol judges. Do you consider they've become unnecessarily harsh through the years? Manley: I do not think so. They are there plus they do their jobs, and often you do not like that which you hear whatsoever. Which is difficult if you need to return and then try to discover that confidence again to carry on. I'm not sure - I am remaining using this whole factor! What have you think about Chaz departing? Manley: He was amazing. I really like Chaz. He only agreed to be adorable. We are really likely to miss him. He did this kind of amazing job each and every week he went. He really had a lot of fun doing the work too. He deserved to become there much like everybody else does. Your and David's impressions each week are amusing. Are we able to expect a different one now? Manley: [Laughs] We love to to get involved with figures each week therefore we just did Grease. You will need to wait and find out what we are going to get this done week. There has to be a Scream homage somewhere, right? Manley: I understand! We'll need to do that!

Hungarian parliament debates film law

BUDAPEST -- The Hungarian parliament is debating a new Film Law, which is expected to streamline the state's film funding process. Drafted by Hungarian-born Hollywood film producer Andrew Vajna, who was appointed a government commissioner to oversee industry reforms in January, the bill centers fund allocation out of a single office called the Hungarian National Film Fund, and will use revenue gained from one of two national lotteries for funding. Eighty per cent of the lottery revenue will be devoted to domestic filmmaking. The selection of projects to receive public support will be made by a five-member film board, which will review all submissions forwarded by a team of 14 readers. If selected by the board, projects can receive either script development or production funding, depending on whether full scripts or treatments were submitted for evaluation. Under current arrangements, veteran film and TV industry professional Agnes Havas is the managing director and a board member of the Film Fund. Other board members include Vajna, screenwriter Reka Divinyi, producer Peter Miskolczi and academic Andras Balint Kovacs. Marking a shift in the way film production may be viewed in Hungary in the future, the Film Fund will fall under the control of the National Industry Ministry, instead of the Ministry of Culture. The bill could pass parliament as early as Friday. Contact the Variety newsroom at news@variety.com

UPDATED: Source Nicole Scherzinger & Lewis Hamilton Spli

First Published: October 23, 2011 6:28 PM EDT Credit: Getty Premium Caption Lewis Hamilton and Nicole Scherzinger arrive at the 2011 National Movie Awards held at Wembley Arena, London, on May 11, 2011LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Rumors of Nicole Scherzinger and her longtime beau, Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton, splitting are true, a source close to the singer now tells Access Hollywood.

Herzog holds court at DGA

HerzogWerner Herzog likes living in Los Angeles but the German director won't become a U.S. citizen -- unless the nation does away with the death penalty. "I'm a guest in your country and not one to tell you what is right and wrong," said Herzog during Saturday morning's keynote address at the 7th annual Film Independent Forum at the Directors Guild of America headquarters. "I cannot become a citizen of a country that has capital punishment." Asked whether he would change that belief were his wife to be murdered, Herzog responded, "Under no circumstances should the state be in the position to kill anyone." The death penalty was a frequent topic during Herzog's hour-long appearance, which included clips from his documentary "Into the Abyss," centered on two men on death row for a triple homicide in Texas. IFC releases "Abyss," which premiered at the Toronto Intl. Film Festival, on Nov. 11. Herzog, who's directed over 60 films, said that because of time restrictions on the interviews with inmates, he had to be particularly straightforward in the interviews. "On Death Row, they can spot a phony a mile away," he added. Herzog assembled only 10 total hours of footage when he started editing, a process that was so stressful that he took up smoking and limited himself to five hours a day of work. He told the audience that it's crucial to edit quickly in order to stay focused, noting that he completed the editing on "The Bad Lieutentant: Port of Call, New Orleans" within two weeks after completing shooting. Herzog urged the audience to take a similar approach in filmmaking, noting that by keeping an eye on daily cash flow on "Bad Lieutenant," he discovered that costume costs were far too high due to purchases of duplicate outfits for players with only a few lines. That film, he noted, came in $2.6 million under budget and two days early. "If you do that, you're going to be taken seriously," Herzog added. In response to a question about whether he'd do anything differently, Herzog was emphatic in the negative, responding, "I accept all my errors and all my films are full of errors." He then noted that he throws away all the out-takes, adding that because it's expensive to store footage and counter-productive to do so, adding, "A carpenter does not sit on his shavings." Herzog's working on a four-part "Death Row" documentary for TV into December and will then portray a villain opposite Tom Cruise in "One Shot." "I'm always good as a debased villain on the screen," he added, evoking laughter from the audience of 200. The director also denied that he's reckless, despite his reputation, by asserting that no actor's ever been injured in any of his films. And he urged the audience to take advantage of the lower costs of filmmaking. "For my first eight films, I used a camera I'd stolen," Herzog admitted. "You now have access to high quality cameras and you can edit on a laptop. You can do a film for $10,000." As for financing, he suggested working outside of an office and being in an intense enviroment, quipping, "Be a bouncer in a sex club." Asked about his worst job, Herzog responded by recounting as an 18-year-old parking lot attendant during the Oktoberfest in Munich. "Dealing with 3,000 very drunk people at night is not fun," he noted. Herzog concluded by praising Los Angeles, noting that he'd opted to live in Southern California after concluding that San Francisco was "too chic." "I had to be in the city with the most cultural substance," he asserted. "In 15 years, everybody will be saying that about Los Angeles." Contact Dave McNary at dave.mcnary@variety.com

Hollywood Flashback: American Cinematheque Honoree Robert Downey Junior. Makes His Mark in 'Less Than Zero'

This story first came out inside the March. 21 problem in the Hollywood Reporter. When Under Zero opened up up in November 1987, The Hollywood Reporter referred to as it a "lame adaptation" of Bret Easton Ellis' novel getting a "bogus designer plot on top from itInch and mentioned "box-office prospects look dismal." It could produce a meager $12.4 million in your area but was the breakout film for Robert Downey Junior., then 22. PHOTOS: 'The Avengers': New Photos From Marvel's Superhero Film Just before making what's converted into a cult film of ྌs teenage decadence, he'd done Saturday Evening Love a season and numerous movies, like the Pick-up Artist with Molly Ringwald. THR gushed that his cocaine-addicted Julian was "easily the most effective performance" in Zero, worth a supporting actor Oscar nomination "notwithstanding the fact Academy voters aren't most likely probably the most nimble in organizing for youth movies." (Downey wasn't nominated but later got a lead actor nom for 1992's Chaplin.)

"There's this kind of vulnerability to his performance," states Avnet. "You will see it within the eyes. As well as the more he tries to hide it, the higher it's there." Downey will probably be feted by American Cinematheque Friday. Up next for your actor: Warner Bros.' An Online Detective: A Game Title Title of Shadows, due 12 ,. 16.

Gibgot developed several aircraft aircraft pilots with Silverman at NBC, plus it was Silverman who connected a celebration while using author and Susan Downey, who runs her husband’s production company that was setup at Warner Bros to develop star automobiles for Downey Junior. Gibgot most recently shipped the Oliver Stone hourlong drama pilot Darkhorse for Foreign exchange. He’s repped by attorney Stewart Brookman.

25 Things You May Not Know About 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'

Everyone thinks they know 'Breakfast at Tiffany's,' the classic, urbane romantic comedy released 50 years ago today, on October 5, 1961. The film that cemented Audrey Hepburn's reputation as an all-time fashion icon, set the bar for every NY fantasy/romantic comedy from 'Barefoot in the Park' to 'Sex and the City,' and gave birth to a thousand Manic Pixie Dream Girls (or at least 25 others). Yet there's a lot you may not know about the movie -- who the real-life Holly Golightly was, how radically different the film might have been if 'Breakfast' author Truman Capote had gotten his way, why the Oscar-winning song 'Moon River' almost got cut from the film, which classic outfits Hepburn herself came up with, how many cartons of cigarettes the tobacco-loving characters smoked on-screen, and what Mickey Rooney has to say about his still-controversial performance. 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' - Trailer 1. Who was the real-life Holly Golightly? So many women have been named as possible inspirations to Truman Capote -- including Gloria Vanderbilt, Oona Chaplin, writer/actress Carol Grace (who became Walter Matthau's wife), writer Maeve Brennan and model Suzy Parker -- that Capote called the whole speculation "the Holly Golightly sweepstakes." He claimed there was a real Holly, a woman who lived downstairs from him when he was a writer who'd just moved to NY in the early 1940s (like the autobiographical narrator of Capote's tale), though he never identified her by name. A NYer named Bonnie Golightly filed an unsuccessful lawsuit against Capote claiming he'd based the character on her. 2. As George Costanza learned during a memorable 'Seinfeld' episode where he watched the film instead of reading the book for his book club, there are a lot of major differences between Capote's 1958 novella and George Axelrod's screenplay to the 1961 movie. There's the setting (the 1940s, not the contemporary 1960s), the nameless narrator (called Paul in the film), Holly's age (she's still in her late teens in the story but played by 31-year-old Hepburn on-screen), Holly's fondness for marijuana (gone in the film). Holly's bisexuality (ditto), and the wistful, ambiguous ending (replaced in the film by a conventional romantic happy ending). Most of all, there's the sense many readers get that Holly is a professional escort, for taking money from wealthy men whom she sometimes sleeps with. In interviews, Capote described Holly not as a prostitute or golddigger but called her an American geisha girl. The film downplayed any suggestion of prostitution, with Paramount publicists issuing statements like, "The star is Audrey Hepburn, not Tawdry Hepburn." 3. Capote envisioned his friend Marilyn Monroe in the part, but her acting coach, Paula Strasberg, talked her out of it, saying the role's call-girl-like nature was bad for her image. Others supposedly in line for the role included Jane Fonda, Shirley MacLaine and Kim Novak. Capote was a friend of Hepburn's but thought she was miscast. So did Hepburn herself, until director Blake Edwards persuaded her she could do it. 4. Blake Edwards pleaded on his knees with the producers not to hire George Peppard as the male lead. (Steve McQueen was considered but was unavailable.) Indeed, Peppard tried to play the role as a traditional matinee idol, not a vulnerable, flawed, naive young man. So said co-star Patricia Neal, who played Paul's sugar mama (known in the film as "2-E"). She and Peppard had been friends before the filming, but she wrote in her memoir that she was put off by his apparent desire "to be an old-time movie hunk." (Later, of course, Peppard would age into that more standard, macho kind of leading man, most memorably as the leader of TV's 'The A-Team.') 5. How did Edwards manage to shoot the memorable opening scene, in which a taxi rolls down an empty 5th Avenue at dawn, Holly gets out in front of Tiffany's and she nibbles on a Danish while gazing longingly through the jeweler's window? There are two conflicting accounts. One said the scene was hampered by challenges -- a gaggle of gawkers longing for a glimpse of Hepburn, the star's dislike of Danishes, and an accident that nearly electrocuted a crew member. Yet Edwards said the shot was relatively easy, with the busy thoroughfare suddenly clearing up as if by divine intervention. "It was as if God said, ''I'm going to give you a break now, but for the rest of your career you're going to have to live off this one,'" he recalled. At a recent screening of the movie, Edwards' widow, Julie Andrews, said the director (whom she would marry nearly a decade after 'Breakfast') claimed he got the shot in one take. 6. For a movie so associated with Manhattan, very little of it was shot there. There were only about 8 days of location shooting, including inside Tiffany's, which opened on a Sunday for the first time in decades to allow filming, though 40 armed guards and several Tiffany's sales clerks were on hand to prevent pilferage. 7. The party at Holly's apartment, like much of the film, was shot on a Paramount soundstage. A signature Edwards sequence -- he would go on to shoot memorable parties in the 'Pink Panther' movies, '10,' 'Victor/Victoria,' and of course, 'The Party' -- it took six days to film. The extras playing the guests were all friends and relations of the director, Andrews has said. According to studio notes, the revelers consumed plenty of real champagne, as well as 120 gallons of soft drinks, lots of party food (hot dogs, cold cuts, chips, dips, and sandwiches), and 60 cartons of cigarettes. Even that didn't generate enough smoke, so Edwards brought onto the set a smoker of the sort beekeepers use. 8. It's never explained why, at the party, Hepburn is wearing a gown made from a towel. A scene that was cut from the final release has her taking a bath when the party breaks out, and she's forced to improvise a gown. 9. What's the movie's connection to 'The Flintstones'? It's Alan Reed, who played gangster Sally Tomato. He was also the voice of Fred Flintstone. 10. Buddy Ebsen had all but retired when he was persuaded to play Doc Golightly, Holly's estranged husband from down South. His brief performance is said to have landed him the role of Jed Clampett on 'The Beverly Hillbillies,' which made him more famous than ever and extended his career by decades. 11. Hepburn's husband, actor Mel Ferrer, seemed to exercise a near-Svengali-like control over his wife during the production. Neal recalled dining with the couple at their home, an evening that included a very light meal and ended practically before sunset; she remarked that now she knew how Hepburn stayed so thin. Ferrer also tried to influence his wife's performance, until Edwards took her aside and insisted that she treat him as the film's sole director. After that, Ferrer behaved like wet blanket; upon seeing the finished film, his only compliment to his wife was, "I liked your hat." 12. Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer composed 'Moon River' with Hepburn's limited vocal range in mind, having heard her sing in 'Funny Face.' There was talk of having Marni Nixon dub her vocals (as she would do a couple years later in 'My Fair Lady'), but Edwards decided that Hepburn's own plain, unvarnished rendition of the song fit the character better. 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' - 'Moon River' 13. "Over my dead body!" That was the response to a Paramount executive who wanted to cut the song from the film. It's not clear who said it, however. One account says it was Hepburn, another says it was the producers. 14. Hepburn worked with designer Hubert de Givenchy to craft her costumes for the film. One result: Holly's iconic little black dress, one of the most influential fashion choices in cinema history and a must for nearly every woman's wardrobe ever since. (Yes, it was Coco Chanel, not Givenchy, who invented the little black dress, but it was the version Hepburn wore that made the garment a fashion staple.) Christie's auctioned the original dress in 2006 and sold it for $923,000 (one of the highest prices ever paid for a piece of movie memorabilia), with the money going to support the construction of a school for the poor in Calcutta. 15. Despite her reputation for elegance, Hepburn enjoyed relaxing in a turtleneck and jeans. Which is what Holly wears while lounging on the fire escape and singing 'Moon River.' 16. You'd never know from Holly's willowy figure that Hepburn had given birth to son Sean just three months before shooting. As a hobby, the new mom took up knitting. 17. Hepburn caught a cold after spending four days in studio-made rain shooting the final sequence. 18. The one part of the film that makes audiences cringe today is Mickey Rooney's performance as Holly's neighbor, Mr. Yunioshi. Aside from the insult of having a non-Asian performer play a Japanese man by wearing yellowface makeup, Coke-bottle glasses, and buck teeth, there's also the performance's consistent sense of caricature and stereotype. In a 2008 interview, Rooney said Edwards hired him as a veteran comic actor and directed him to play the character broadly, and that if anyone had taken offense at his portrayal -- like the Asian-American activists who got a free public screening of 'Breakfast' in Sacramento yanked in favor of the more anodyne 'Ratatouille' -- it was news to him. "Never in all the more than 40 years after we made it -- not one complaint," Rooney said. "Every place I've gone in the world people say, 'God, you were so funny.' Asians and Chinese come up to me and say, 'Mickey you were out of this world.'" He added that if he'd known the performance would offend people, "I wouldn't have done it." 19. The film reportedly cost $2.5 million to make. (Some $750,000 of that reportedly went to Hepburn, making her one of the highest-paid actresses of the era.) It earned $4 million in the U.S. upon its initial release and $14 million over its lifetime. 20. Consumers responded almost immediately to the film. Besides the black cocktail dress, Holly's coat and purse became widely copied. Animal shelters reported a rise in demand for ginger tomcats like Holly's cat (whose name, of course, was "Cat"). The soundtrack album went to No. 1 and stayed on the Billboard chart for two years. 21. 'Breakfast' earned Oscar nominations for Hepburn's performance, Axelrod's adapted screenplay, and for art direction. It won two prizes, for Mancini's original score and for Original Song ('Moon River'). They were the first two Oscars of Mancini's career; he'd ultimately win four times out of 18 nominations, and he would compose music for Edwards on many more movies, notably, the 'Pink Panther' films and 'Victor/Victoria.' 22. In 1966, there was a Broadway musical version, starring Mary Tyler Moore and Richard Chamberlain. It closed after just four performances, becoming one of those legendary flops that -- if as many people who claimed to have seen it actually did -- wouldn't have been a flop at all. 23. In 1969, ABC commissioned a pilot for a TV series, a sitcom called 'Holly Golightly' that starred Stephanie Powers and Jack Kruschen (as Joe the bartender, a character from Capote's novella that didn't make it into the movie). The network ultimately declined to pick up the pilot and make it into a series. 24. The property made it to the stage once more as a straight play in 2009, on London's West End. Anna Friel (the cult TV series 'Pushing Daises') played Holly. 25. In 1995, the band Deep Blue Something had a hit with a Hepburn-inspired song called 'Breakfast at Tiffany's.' The lyrics actually had more references to 'Roman Holiday,' but songwriter Todd Pipes thought the reference to the more iconic tale of Holly Golightly would make a better song title.

Nancy Grace on Amanda Knox Verdict: It is a Huge Miscarriage of Justice

Nancy Grace Nancy Grace thinks Amanda Knox is guilty, and she told Access Hollywood that she was "very disturbed" she was freed.After the Italian appeals court overturned Knox's murder conviction Monday, it didn't take the legal commentator and Dancing with the Stars contestant long to voice her opinion."I think it is a huge miscarriage of justice," the 51-year-old former prosecutor said. "I believe that while Amanda Knox did not wield the knife herself, I think that she was there, with her boyfriend, and that he did the deed, and that she egged him on. That's what I think happened."Amanda Knox freed, murder conviction overturnedAnd would she consider inviting Knox on her self-titled HLN show?"I'm not trying to get Amanda Knox's first interview because ... my show does not pay for interviews in any way. I think whether she gets paid outright or whether it's a licensing fee for a photograph, that's the way a lot of networks get around paying for interviews," she said. "Second, I don't think she's going to tell the truth anyway, so what's the point?"

6 Burning Questions From House's Season 8 Premiere

House [WARNING: The following story contains spoilers from the Season 8 premiere of House. Read at your own risk.]House's Season 8 premiere once again proved the show's mantra: People don't change. Even in prison.Fall Preview: Get scoop on all your favorite returning showsDr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) was the same old curmudgeon he always is, whether he was expressing (false) remorse for running his car through Cuddy's house to the members of his parole board only because that's what they wanted to hear or making another doctor's diagnosis look stupid. But even if House is the same old House, the premiere, which found the good doctor trying to save a mysteriously afflicted inmate while also scavenging to find 20 Vicodin pills for a jailhouse gang leader, proved the world around him certainly has changed. For starters, by episode's end, he's still behind bars!So, when's he getting out? And what's in store for his return to Princeton-Plainsboro? Check out some of our burning questions.1. Why is House still in jail?Creator and executive producer David Shore assures us the show won't become a prison series, but he says he felt strongly that the show had to punish House, both for crimes of the past (ramming Cuddy's house with his car) and present (disobeying orders, inciting a prison riot, etc.). "We want the consequences to be real," Shore says. "It's really important to us that we play the truth of the situations and follow up on them. If House f---- things up, he can't just get rewarded for that."House Season 8: Will House's time in the slammer change him?2. So, when is he getting out?Fear not, the good doctor will be sprung in next Monday's episode. But, Shore says, "Episode 2 takes place a considerable amount of time after Episode 1. There will be an acknowledgment that time has passed. He gets out under unusual circumstances, but not without having spent more time [in prison]."3. Did House not hire a lawyer on purpose?As Dr. Adams (new series regular Odette Annable) pointed out in the episode, House probably could have negotiated a much shorter prison sentence (or avoided the pokey all together) if he'd hired a lawyer. But he chose to represent himself and do the time. Did he secretly want to be punished? Shore says... maybe. "House is one who is always willing to pay a price for doing something," Shore says. "He'll avoid it if at all possible, but he recognizes that he has to pay prices."4. Why would House hire Dr. Adams?As we've been told, Annable's character will eventually end up on House's staff. But as we saw, her diagnostic skills seemed a bit lacking at the beginning of the hour. Shore says her good deeds - she gives House the Vicodin he needs and disobeys her boss in order to prove House's theory right and save her patient - outweigh her rookie mistakes. "She starts off being very cynical about House, but by the end of the episode, she surrenders her job in order to support House's position," Shore says. "That's a rare and courageous thing to do, and I think House recognizes that. He recognizes that she's the type of person he wants on his team and has to have on his team."House Season 8 scoop: Cuddy fallout, new blood and a return to the show's roots5. Might he also just need an ally?As the episode pointed out at least three or four times, House is currently "peepless." Apparently, reckless endangerment can cost you friends. Although House will ultimately win Wilson (Robert Sean Leonard) and the rest of his team back, it can't hurt to have at least one person in his corner. But Dr. Adams won't be the only new face; Episode 2 also introduces Charlyne Yi's Dr. Chi Park. "She winds up on House's team because she did something she shouldn't have done," Shore teases. "That incident, which you'll learn about in Episode 2, serves to define that character to a great extent."6. When will meet the new Dean of Medicine?With Lisa Edelstein's departure from the show, there's a new boss at Princeton-Plainsboro. Shore, of course, wouldn't dare spoil the surprise, but he promises the Dean's identity will be revealed in Episode 2. "I think it's a somewhat surprising choice, but I do think it makes sense," he says. "I think people will enjoy it."What did you think of the House premiere?
