Make Dr. House confront his own inner demons and what does it get you? Your own series.

Oh, if this isn't a match made in TV heaven, I don't know what is: Gilmore Girls creator Amy Sherman-Palladino has tapped fast-talking Parker Posey to star in her Fox pilot The Return of Jezebel James. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the indie darling will play an infertile book editor who asks her estranged kid sister to have her baby. "I can't believe it's happening," AS-P said of landing the picky actress. "The character runs the gamut of emotions from laughing to flipping out to breaking your heart in 22 minutes, and only one in a zillion people has enough skill and charm to pull that off. Parker Posey is that person." I couldn't agree more.

Feeling out of his league (and bored by this straightforward case), House tries to remove himself from the situation, but Eve won't let him go. And thus begins our quest to see House find a heart. Others may find it touching. I find it to be trite.Eve wants to talk. About anything — the weather, maybe. House wants to disappear, as much from clinic duty as from this patient. Hiding out at the jogging park, a place Cuddy would never think to look, or even in an exam room with a paid-off patient, House avoids connecting with Eve — for to connect with Eve is to find oneself. Gah! I’m not much for cloying ...

How does a gal go from kissing the Sexiest Man Alive to unsettling the most vexing physician alive? Actress Katheryn Winnick demonstrates just that on the next new outing for Fox's House. The episode doesn't air until next week, but Winnick was nice enough to offer TVGuide.com a sneak peek at her "controversial" story line — one which promises to shed light on a long-dormant secret of the dark doc's.
