You may know her from Pretty Little Liars where she plays ‘Spencer Hastings’ 
House executive producer Katie Jacobs has explained how the show will deal with Olivia Wilde’s absence.
Wilde, who plays Thirteen, will miss several episodes of the new season because she is working on the movie Cowboys & Aliens.
However, Jacobs told Fancast that House will include a storyline explaining Thirteen’s departure and eventual return.
“It’s linked to narrative,” she said. “When Thirteen does come back, it’s not like she’s just going to be sitting in the office doing a diagnosis. There’s a real reason why she had to leave – it’s surprising and juicy and it deepens her character and our understanding of her.”
The new season of House will premiere on September 20 on Fox.
It has been more than six months since the earthquake in Haiti, and I still remember the moment when I heard what had happened. Sitting, stunned, on the set of “House,” I felt my stomach plummet. How could I go on working? I knew that the hospitals and schools where I stood only weeks before had little chance of surviving such a horrific beating. I also knew there must be thousands dead. I could never have imagined the number would reach as staggeringly high as 300,000. What followed was a month of sleepless nights, hot tears, desperate pleas for donations, and a constant stream of bad news from our friends on the ground in Port-au-Prince.
But amidst all the disbelief, anxiety, anger, sadness, and frustration, I found a deep well of hope. The world pulled together to offer help, arms held outstretched, pledging not to forget. In that moment I was proud to be a part of an organization that was in a position to offer real, effective assistance to those who needed it most.
So many of you were generous, raising funds immediately to help Artists For Peace and Justice, and other worthy organizations, provide critically needed care. APJ representatives were able to get into the country immediately to provide humanitarian relief, bringing surgeons, medical equipment (such as Morphine, so that amputations would no longer have to be performed using only Motrin) and other emergency supplies. This would have been impossible if not for the donations we received in that first week.
Because we had maintained a presence in Haiti for a year before the earthquake struck, we were soon able to re-focus our efforts on our long term goal of education for the poorest children, while at the same time building a rehabilitation clinic for youngsters who lost limbs and needed prosthetic limbs. This project is ongoing, and recently, when I was back at St Damien’s Pediatric Hospital with Father Rick Frechette, where APJ Haiti was born, I marveled at the clinic’s in-house factory, where tiny arms and legs are built before being individually fitted, so that the children can receive physical therapy, and begin to move forward with their lives.
I got my hands on this and wanted to share it with you guys 
Last summer I was lucky enough to join a small group of journalists in Vancouver to visit the set of ‘Tron: Legacy.’ It’s hard to say exactly how excited I am for the long-awaited follow-up to its groundbreaking but box office-deficient 1982 predecessor – perhaps it will suffice to reveal that I’m currently stretching out a pair of childhood ‘Tron’ Underoos to wear on opening day.
But even if being on this particular set weren’t personally fulfilling, it would no doubt be a professional highlight of the career of virtually any film journalist. An extensive exhibition of the production offices and department designs, followed by interviews with cast and crew members and, finally, a tour of the set itself, offered some of the most comprehensive and revealing behind-the-scenes looks in recent memory. And then there was meeting Daft Punk, although sadly there’s no photographic or audio evidence to confirm that particular personal moment of fulfillment.
While a list could probably climb into triple digits were I to parse out the secrets and slip-ups of the filmmakers (not to mention see the finished film), we’ve assembled a collection of 10 essential details we discovered on the set of ‘Tron: Legacy.’
1. ‘Tron: Legacy’ earns its subtitle precisely because it pays tribute to the landscape and mythology of the original film.
Producer Sean Bailey explained that any follow-up owed an enormous debt to the characters and universe writer-director Steven Lisberger created decades ago. “We felt like we owed, at least in my opinion, a few things: light cycles, Jeff Bridges, lit suits; and most important, I felt like when I went into that movie in 1982, as a kid I just remember the movie screen looking unlike any movie screen I’d ever seen before.”
2. When Bailey recruited first-time director Joe Kosinski to tackle the project, he did so with not only the blessing but also the active participation of original ‘Tron’ creator Steven Lisberger.
Lisberger, who plays a small role in the film, explained in the craft services tent why he declined to take on the follow-up himself. “After 30 years, I don’t want to compete with myself,” he said. “And technically, I am not on the level of Joe Kosinski. Joe has a network of people that he works with, and if I brought my network in, it would be a little bit like one of those Clint Eastwood movies where all the old guys go to space. [But] it’s a generational thing, which is that it’s almost as if Tron was waiting for you guys who were 10 when you saw ‘Tron’ One, to be 40 and have a 10-year-old kid that you could take to ‘Tron’ and say, this is what blew my mind and now I’m going to have it blow your mind.”
3. Jeff Bridges was game to reprise his role as game designer Kevin Flynn after hearing a pitch from Kosinski, but was particularly reassured after hearing that Lisberger would be around to keep things connected to the first film.
Bridges said that Kosinski showed him what he’d previously done, and what he wanted to do on Legacy. “He made this wonderful pitch on the story, where it was going, and that was intriguing to me,” he remembered. “[Then] he showed me his commercial reel. He’s out of commercials, and I saw some of the technology that he had available to him that he could use. The first [movie] was cutting-edge technology at that time, and this one certainly is for this time. And it’s a whole different way of making movies.”
Describing the 26-year span between the release of ‘Tron’ and the start of production on ‘Legacy,’ Bridges revealed that Lisberger’s unpredictability made the process feel like old times. “It seems like we had a long weekend, basically, because Lisberger is very involved in this one,” he said. “Which is great — having the source of the material still engaged. I think it gave us all a lot of pressure, because he’s such a wild cat, but it’s also kind of grounded in that first movie that was so unique and everything.”
