In case you didn't hear about it yet, but internist Dr. Kutner on FOX's "House" committed suicide in Monday's episode. This was hastily written into the script as the real-life Kal Penn is leaving acting for a while to go work for the Obama administration in the Office of Public Liaison. This also means no more Harold & Kumar movies for a while, so we're all sacrificing here - but seriously, congrats Kal and godspeed.

You probably know Kal Penn--at least by face--from cheesy contemporary "classics" such as Harold and Kumar go to White Castle and National Lampoon's Van Wilder. Penn, who worked on the Obama campaign, will now be the Associate Director in the Office of Public Liaison, acting as a bridge between the administration and the people, specifically those who are in arts and entertainment and Asian and Pacific Islander communities.

In a bit of a surprise, the surrogate pregnancy comedy target audience forgot that the movie was opening and spent their weekend eating a family-size bag of Doritos.

I think it will be hard for Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay to replicate the success of the original seems bigger, more absurd and ultimately less funny. Still, I'll be there. Probably a little buzzed, too.
