Kal Penn has left House to go work for the White House.Kal, who said he's always aspired to a career in politics, asked to leave the show after working on Obama's campaign, even though he loves acting.
Approaching executive producers David Shore and Katie Jacobs, Penn expressed his desire far in advance, which allowed the writers to craft his exit in an organic way - with a sudden, inexplicable suicide!
In regards to his new job, Penn said he'll 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."

Madonna dumps Jesus...
Supposedly Madonna got fed up when Jesus went back to his native Brazil and started spending time with a younger female model named Luciana.
A source tells the site, "She was drawn to Jesus. But it was just a bit of fun and she’s enjoyed herself. But she is growing bored of the relationship and her family comes first.
