    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."

    In an interview on TV, the musician demonstrated his odd new workout, during which he stares in different directions and holds his gaze for 20 seconds at a time. He was taught the routine by an eye yoga expert at a hotel in India.

    McCartney says, "He told me eyes are muscles (and) are just like any other muscles, and they need exercise to keep them working properly. Spending so much time at computers or (watching) the TV or reading books, we are only using one set of muscles in our eyes. The yoga gives a workout to the other ones."
