Actors going into politics!
Just saw some very cool news! And this is a difficult post to write without giving away what happened on House last night. :) Uh... although the news has nothing to do with the show itself, don't click on the cut-tag yet if you're planning to watch the episode on DVR.
So, when Kutner killed himself, my first thought was, "Kal Penn must've wanted out." He already had a successful career when he joined the show, and I was always surprised he'd choose a secondary role on a weekly network series when he had so many other opportunities. Turns out I was right.
"House" actor leaves show to join the Obama administration.: "I'm going to be the associate director in the White House office of public liaison. They do outreach with the American public and with different organizations. They're basically the front door of the White House. They take out all of the red tape that falls between the general public and the White House. It's similar to what I was doing on the campaign."
Yay! That is really, really awesome, and I'm rather jealous that he has such an amazing opportunity. As much as it pains me to link to anything Aus writes, go here for the full interview. (And thanks to minim_calibre for the heads-up.)
Also, today's belly laugh, courtesy of Kanye West:
"Combs have been on the scene ever since humans had hair on his head. which is quite sometime? the date perhaps goes beyond the time of the old stone age. man being man and not a lion would not be content to let his mane run wild and free. so he had to find some ways to tame it. first on the list of combing operations must have been the use of fingers. so in a way the fingers are the first combs of history. today, combs are universal and no corner of the globe is without it."
