OLIVIA WILDE SHOOTING DOCUMENTARY IN NAIROBI

Hollywood actress Olivia Wilde is in the country to shoot a documentary for an American media portal called PBS (Public Broadcasting Service). On Saturday, the actress known for her role in blockbuster movie Cowboys and Aliens and TV series House was in Kibera.
In her twitter account on Friday afternoon, the actress posted: “I'm in Kenya with PBS and Nick Kristof shooting a doc for Half The Sky!! Tomorrow we head into the slums to interview female entrepreneurs.”
On Saturday (September 3) Olivia was at the Jamii Bora Trust in Kibera know for it’s initiative in getting over 50 street beggar families in Nairobi out of poverty and building a better life for their families.
Anyho, PBS is the most prominent provider of television programs to U.S. public television stations.
The documentary Half the Sky, based on Kristof's book of the same name will highlight how women turn oppressive situations into opportunities. He is a two-time Pulitzer Prize winner who writes op-ed columns for New York Times.



In his blog post about the PBS documentary deal in May this year, Nick wrote: “Sheryl (his wife) and I will be traveling with various celebrity actresses for filming on location about issues ranging from human trafficking to girls’ education. I’m sure that some people will be wary of celebrity involvement, and I understand the reason for the wariness. But on the other hand, celebrities are a fabulous way to get the attention of people who don’t otherwise show much interest in issues of global poverty.”
The show will be aired in US TV stations in March 2012.

WILL EDI GATHEGI BE THE NEW DR CUDDY IN HOUSE

Kenyan born actor Edi Gathegi now based in the USA might just be looking at a new role in the medical drama House as the new Dean of Medicine at Princeton Plainsboro. Dr Cuddy who was played the role of both boss and love interest to Hugh Laurie’s Dr. House has left the show.
TVLine reported that it will in fact be someone viewers already know. Although it hasn’t been revealed who will be getting the big job at Princeton Plainsboro, it will be one of seven possibilities. Edi who played Dr Jeffrey Cole is one of them.



The names mentioned as the possibilities are:
Dr. Jeffrey Cole, played by Edi Gathegi, who was another contestant in the hiring competition but was cut for siding with Cuddy.
Dr. James Wilson, played by Robert Sean Leonard, Dr. House’s long-suffering best friend.
Dr. Eric Foreman, played by Omar Epps, an original member of House’s team who once actually was his boss for a brief time.
Dr. Robert Chase, played by Jesse Spencer, another original team member with questionable ethics.



Dr. Chris Taub, played by Peter Jacobsen, who managed to make the cut when House decided to make hiring a new team member into a strange competition.
Dr. Sam Carr, played by Cynthia Watros, ex-wife to Dr. James Wilson and not exactly a favorite person of Dr. House.
And finally, Edward Vogler, played by Chi McBride, whose brief stint as the man in charge at Princeton Plainsboro left some serious bad blood between him and Dr. House.
