Lisa Edelstein ain't coming back no mo' for season eight of House. Women, eh? Always leaving you when you're the highest-paid TV actor in the world.

With House season seven about to wrap up, Lisa Edelstein's announced that she's not signing on for the eighth and probably final run.

After much consideration, I am moving onward with a combination of disappointment at leaving behind a character I have loved playing for seven years and excitement of the new opportunities in acting and producing that lie ahead.
