Hugh Laurie! Jessica Simpson! They're Big Overseas

Who says success is measured only by Hollywood's terms?
In France, House star Hugh Laurie is right up there among such literary luminaries as Jean-Paul Sartre, Jules Verne and, oui, Victor Hugo.
The British star's novel Tout Est Sous Contrôle, a translation of his 1996 thriller The Gun Seller, is currently No. 2 on France's best sellers list, according to global news agency Agence France-Presse.
The novel, a James Bond-like spy spoof, has sold more than 100,000 copies since its release in February by a little-known French publishing house Sonatine.
And though the success comes 13 years after it was original published – and in another language – Laurie will happily take it.

Reading minds is a super power that really comes in handy for a down-on-his-luck cop like Matt Parkman, the role actor Greg Grunberg plays on NBC's Heroes.

House's Hugh Laurie

Hugh Laurie was still sleeping when he got his Emmy nomination, but after a 5:39 a.m. phone call from his publicist, he says, "I woke up blushing!" The British House star – a veteran of slapstick comedies ( Stuart Little, 101 Dalmations) – earned his first nod for his lead role in the FOX hospital drama, playing the curmudgeonly but brilliant Dr. Gregory House. PEOPLE caught up with Laurie, 46, just after the announcement.
