The whiny little bitch that fucked up his own career and is now looking for someone else to pay for it. Asshole.

Fantastic
Isaiah Washington just figured out a way to make me like him even less. Fantastic. The notorious homophobe and all around douche-bag is now suing Grey's Anatomy. That's right, suing. Why? No, it's not about that incident with T.R Knight, or him getting fired. He's suing because Grey's Anatomy featured his image in a newspaper clipping on last week's episode. Yeah, Grey's Anatomy portrayed the character of Dr. Preston Burke (who they own) in a newspaper clipping announcing that the character (who they own) had won a prestigious award. And now, Isaiah is suing. Sorry, but I really don't think he has a case, considering he signed his life over to them when he decided to be a part of the show and be the character that they made up. Personally, I think he's looking for any excuse to get the money that he should have gotten from the show, you know, had he not completely fucked it up by gay bashing his co-star. Too bad.

Another Poll For My Lovely Readers
Recently, Katherine Heigl has once again taken up her fight to get out of her contract with ABC to leave the show that made her famous, Grey's Anatomy. This is only the third time I have heard about Katherine trying to ditch the show for a glamorous movie career. She first threatened to leave the show over a salary dispute when the show was relatively new. Then she wanted to leave the show for her budding movie career, even though she referred to one of the movies that sky-rocketed her to fame as sexist, and was an alternative option for the lead role in another one after the director's first choice bowed out. Katherine Heigl is pretty much an all around spoiled little brat who, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to leave the show that brought her fame and recognition. Katherine has been acting in two-bit movies and unknown roles since 1992. Now that she's finally famous, she's all too eager to shit all over the show that got her there. So what do you think about Katherine leaving Grey's? Is the show better off without her or is the loss of Isobel Stevens going to be disastrous for the show? Share your thoughts in a poll!
By Far The Best Episode I Have Seen In a While
Well done, Grey's Anatomy. You are finally back on top again. You know what you're doing and I love it. You've been giving a few lackluster episodes for the past couple weeks, but this past week, you have renewed my faith in the beacon of awesomeness that is and always will be Grey's Anatomy.
Now, the episode kicks off with a ghostly reminder of a past character; Dr. Preston Burke. He has won some kind of super special, hard to actually attain, surgical award. Now, being the good friends they all are, Mer, Izzie and George do their best to shield Cristina from discovering the news that has been posted on the Bulletin Board. However, once she sees it, she is immediately overcome with a mixture of hurt and jealousy. She barely pays attention while Dr. Hahn explains a super rare case of a patient in need of a heart transplant, who just happens to be in a plastic bubble to shield her from infection in the weeks before her transplant. Dr. Hahn notices Cristina's absolute lack of interest and asks if she would rather be in the morgue today. Cristina, to everyone's surprise, agrees to go to the morgue, where she... get this... SINGS. Like a Virgin by Madonna, to be exact.
Izzie's continues to serve absolutely no purpose this episode. She is the only one who knows that Ava isn't actually pregnant with Alex's baby, and yet, she doesn't tell him because it would be entirely unethical to reveal her patient's test results to someone who is not her patient... even if it is Alex. And even if Alex is getting ready to throw his whole life away on a lie.
Meredith's therapy is going fairly well, until her therapist explains to her that the sentence "He's with Rose" [he being McDreamy] should bother her. Because everyone, apparently even her therapist, knows that Meredith should be with McDreamy, not Rose. However, Meredith is hell bent on being totally okay with McDreamy and Rose as a couple, despite her incredible need for McDreamy getting in the way of her working functionally with him. They are now on their fifth clinical trial tumor patient, who just happens to be a gay soldier. None of their trial cases have survived and McDreamy believes it is because they haven't saturated the tumor enough with the virus. And so, they plan to inject the virus in two places of the tumor, however, they have to inject the tumor at exactly the same time... to be completely in sync. And there is this incredible moment during the procedure where Meredith is injecting the tumor with the virus too quickly and McDreamy tells her to look at him and they eventually sync up completely just with their unspoken connection. Ah, it was fantastic.
But, the part that actually made me cry was the love story the two gay soldiers. It was so tragic and beautiful. Since they are both in the Army, it is impossible for them to be openly in love. Don't ask, Don't tell policy and all that. Not to mention the soldier-with-the-brain-tumor's homophobic father. Anyways, the father catches the two of them making out and banishes his son's boyfriend from the room. But he doesn't leave, he just waits downstairs. The soldier with the brain tumor has an opportunity to talk to him before he goes into surgery, but he refuses the offer because he thinks he is protecting his lover by not outing him with the Sergeant right there. (i'm not entirely sure why he is present there, but whatever). Unfortunately, the soldier dies in surgery and there is this heart wrenching moment when his father allows his boyfriend in for one last time to say goodbye. And he bends and kisses him so tenderly that it just broke my heart.
Adelle, the chief's wife, is apparently the nurse's union representative. The nurses are on strike because McSteamy is such a man whore and has slept with pretty much every nurse in the hospital. And so, to avoid a lawsuit, Adelle suggests that every employee in the hospital record every sexual relationship they have had with any other Seattle Grace Employee. Hilarity, of course, ensues. First, the Chief enlists George to be "intern to the Chief", an entirely fictional position, but a great way to convince his wife that he isn't as busy at the hospital anymore and that he may be changing for the better. Basically, he uses George to try to win back his wife. George's mission, as the Chief's intern, is to go around collecting all the sex forms from all the employees. Rose awkwardly tries to explain to George that she doesn't need a form, because well, she's not sleeping with McDreamy, but she quickly changes her mind when McSteamy reams her out for using sex as a weapon and a way to keep McDreamy interested. She then hunts George down to ask for a form, and then sets off to find McDreamy so they can go home for the night together. But, burn of all burns, McDreamy wants to stay at the hospital with Meredith for "the patient". The Chief singles Bailey out as the only one to not fill out the form because he assumes since she's a single mother that she is never going to get laid ever and that the very idea that she could be sleeping with someone else in the hospital is funny. She, obviously, goes on one of her Bailey tirades and rips the chief a new one. Alex, forgets to put Lexie's name down on his form, which immediately enrages Lexie. Not exactly an unreasonable reaction, since no one really wants to think that they are forgettable in bed.
Callie and McSteamy are still doing the horizontal tango, but after being called out for being a man-whore, he wants something more with Callie; someone to talk to. Callie is having no part of it, as she only really wants his body, and not to hear him speak. Hahn is pissed that Callie is blowing her off, but surprise of all surprises, it's not because she wants in Callie's pants, it's because she doesn't have friends and got used to Callie's camaraderie. Crazy, I know.
This episode was crazy good. This is the first episode since the second season to actually make me tear up. I commend the writers for doing such an amazing job this week. And even the previews for next week look awesome. Ah, the Grey's I always knew and loved is slowly returning to us. And thank the TV Lord above for that.

Patrick Dempsey on Ellen
Patrick Dempsey was on Ellen this past week and in case you missed it, of course, your friendly neighborhood blogger has it for you. Honestly, I could never get enough of Patrick... not even if I tried, so I can only hope you appreciate him as much as I do. I can only assume you do since most of you (over half) decided you would want McDreamy operating on you in surgery in a recent poll.
So here it is, the clip of Patrick Dempsey on Ellen.
So here it is, the clip of Patrick Dempsey on Ellen.
I have no idea what to caption this with because 1) it's kind of self explanatory and 2) if you don't know who Patrick Dempsey is, I just do not know what to do with you.

Hope
The theme for this week's Grey's Anatomy was hope. You know, kind of like the feeling you felt as day by day went by without a recap of the last episode. But fear not loyal readers, finals are slowly coming to a close and with it, more free time to devote to Grey's.
Let's begin with Addison. She returned to Seattle Grace this week with a new and improved L.A outlook on life. Which she expressed through hugs. Hugs for Meredith (who stole her husband) and hugs for Alex (who she slept with and experienced much awkwardness with). She even had a Ghandi quote or two for Izzie. I understand the surgical purpose she served this week, but what other purpose did she serve really? To remind everyone of all the awful stuff that has happened? Perhaps the most awkward moment was when she proudly declared what a happy couple Mer and Der made when she first saw them in the hospital. Yeah, that was a fun moment for all involved. In addition, she stirred up all the feelings Bailey has been trying to hide about her husband moving out of the house. And finally, she pointed out to Callie that she and Erica were acting as if they were a couple. And Callie, being thoroughly weirded out by this decided to act all crazy and go sleep with McSteamy at the end of the episode to... i don't know, prove she was straight or something. Hahn, obviously, looked on with growing jealousy. The practical reasons for Addison being there was a baby who's heart was developing outside of it's body. And, though I was sure this 'visit' was going to be the segue to reincorporating Addison into the show, she ultimately refused the Chief's offer to let her return.
Now onto Meredith and Derek. They are working together on a clinical trial to cure Brother A's (from last week) tumor, which is gradually getting worse. Before they go into surgery, Brother A is completely blind and trying to hook up his wife with hot, single doctors. Mer and Der are completely professional the entire time, though Derek reminds Meredith not to get her hopes up about this experimental surgery. And although he is obviously referring to the actual surgery, I can't be sure he wasn't figuratively referring to their relationship.
May I point out that there was almost no reference or screen time to Derek and McSlutty nurse at all except for a moment when Addison asked who McDreamy was banging now, and McSlutty happened to be standing right next to her. Awkward moment #5 for Addison.
Ava (or Rebecca, if you rather) returned to get a pregnancy test. Oh, and guess who she thinks the father is?! That's right, our very own Karev. Turns out, she's not really pregnant after all, though neither of them know that, and Karev spends the day getting emotional over babies and the prospect of being a daddy. Though, of course, he's not half as sensitive to Ava about it.
Cristina continually tries to steal the sparkle pager awarded to Meredith in the last episode, so that she could get in on Hahn's surgeries. Hahn is still being a cold hard bitch to Cristina, and flat out refuses to teach her, praise her or congratulate her. Hell, she barely maintains courtesy. Cristina demands to know why and Hahn is once again condescending, but she later admits to Addison that Cristina reminds her of herself at that age. Why that's a bad thing, I have no idea.
Izzie tries too hard to fit in with George and his intern friends. But obviously, the interns don't really want to hang out with their boss. Again, Izzie feels inadequate. And reckons that feeling of inadequacy by finally acting like a boss while her interns watch. She essentially tells a patient to shut it so she can explain all her options. By the way, the patient is an HIV patient who happens to get pregnant. Expecting that there is no way she could have this baby without passing it to the baby, she assumes her only option is abortion. Since Izzie is too nice, the first time she explains the alternate options, she doesn't really get the point across that there is a 98% chance that the baby will be born completely healthy with the right prenatal care. I don't know about you guys, but I think Izzie is starting to lose her usefulness. Yes, she was always the surgeon with the best bedside manner, but now she doesn't even do that right. She is constantly second guessing herself, feeling inadequate to the residents, but out of place with the interns. She really should just stop trying to fit in and be the Izzie that I know and love. Go fall in love with another patient, sweetie. Please.
Really, that's it. It was a boring episode. And even though I was actually pretty busy for the past couple of days, this episode was so boring that I sort of dreaded having to write a review for it.

The lovers and "leave her"s

When you think Disney, you obviously think... Grey's?
Disney has decided to release the blu-ray disc of Grey's Anatomy, starting with the complete fourth season, to be released September 9, 2008. They're starting with the fourth, and (i'm guessing) working their way back. All I know is they plan to release all seasons, starting with the fourth. And just in case you aren't a fan of blu-ray, the run-of-the-mill DVD of Grey's Anatomy fourth season is being released the same day.
September 9th, 2008. Mark your calendars!
Awww, my favorite couple.
Awww, my favorite couple.
Spoiler Alert
Now that our beloved show is back on TV, the internet is practically flooded with spoilers about the upcoming episodes. The newest spoiler to hit the internet involves two of our favorite doctors, Callie and McSteamy. Yes, it has been done before. Sure, they've already done the nasty, but the latest rumors are that Callie and McSteamy are going to take their naughty extra-curricular activities and make it legit by becoming an actual couple. This latest bit of information has many implications.
Callie and Hahn are probably not going to be a couple.
unless, of course, Grey's Anatomy takes it to a level they've only flirted with in certain character's fantasies: the threesome. However, how all three of them can carry on a real relationship with each other is kind of beyond me. You see, this isn't Hedda Gabler, and triangular relationships are just not done these days, as far as I'm aware. (I'm sorry for that literary reference. I just took my Lit Final...)
The writers might be gearing up to have Callie and Hahn fight over McSteamy.
and wouldn't that just be the craziest plot line. I don't really see Hahn lowering herself enough to get involved in a chick fight over a piece of man candy. And really, let's be honest, McSteamy does not need anyone to boost his ego. He clearly already thinks pretty highly of himself.
The Hahn-McSteamy hints that the writers have been dropping will probably cease
and thank the holy lord for that. That relationship is like the stuff of my nightmares. Hahn is scary. Like, really scary. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be surprised if she had a dungeon in her basement specifically for torturing kiss ass interns and the men she views as below her. Think chains and leather. Ew.

The GLAAD Media Awards Were on Saturday
The GLAAD media awards (that is, gay and lesbian alliance against defamation) were held on Saturday and guess who was a speaker? That's right, our very own T.R Knight, also known as Doctor George O'Malley. T.R spoke about Lawrence King and Sammie Williams Jr., who were murdered for their sexual preference. T.R also shed light on a Sally Kern, Oklahoma State Representative, who has been quoted as saying that the 'homosexual agenda' is responsible for destroying our nation and has compared gay and lesbian men and women to terrorists.
In addition, T.R Knight observed the annual day of Silence on April 25th, 2008. The day is in honor of those gay and lesbian men and women who have been silenced over the years by oppression and hate crimes. The point is to vow to stay silent all day to emphasize just how loud their forced silence is. Though I did not participate this year, I was active in the day of silence every year in high school. Way to go, T.R Knight. It is a wonderful thing you are doing, bringing attention to the silent oppressed. The fight is not over until those like Sally Kern realize the extent of their ignorance.

Isn't he just such a cutie?
The Surgical Poll Results Are In
Last week, I asked you via poll which surgeon you would trust to cut you open. And it seems our dearly beloved interns turned residents just do not have your vote of confidence. The highest ranking surgeons were well established in the surgical world of Grey's Anatomy compared to the relative newcomers. Dr. Shepherd (McDreamy) and Dr. Hahn were the highest ranking surgeons, with McDreamy beating the pack easily. The results are as follows.
Out of thirteen votes, 7 (54%) decided they would like McDreamy to be there savior. And I certainly don't blame you. I would easily place myself in McDreamy's capable hands. And you can take that any way you want to.
2 of you (15%) chose the next best, Dr. Hahn. And I really don't know what you guys were thinking. Hahn might be capable, and extremely good at her job, but have you been paying attention to how she treats the family? Goodness! No bedside manner to be found anywhere.
With one vote each (8%), the new residents filled out the rest of the votes, with notable exceptions. George and Izzie got no votes. I blame it on this whole 007 business. And Izzie, well, she just spent the last episode putting a patient through excruciating and unnecessary procedures all in the name of winning a surgical contest. Serves her right.
The three that did get a vote were Meredith (of course. I mean, she is the namesake of the show), Cristina (another shocker...) and Alex. Yes, some people want Alex Karev to do surgery on them. And well, why not? He has been referred to as the underdog by more than one person as far as I can tell.
Bailey also got a vote. But the other residents that received no vote at all, quite surprisingly, were the Chief, Callie and McSteamy.
Thanks for voting you guys. You have no idea how exciting it is to slowly watch participation in my polls go up.

A really cool picture of our winner, complete with carefully placed advertising.

Hypothetical Hospital Stays
Alright, let's say you are seriously injured. I mean, really sick. Let's just say you're surgery sick. And through no fault of your own and with a little bit of luck and maybe some magic, you end up at Seattle Grace Hospital. Who would you want to operate on you? And I don't mean that kind of operate, you pervert. I mean seriously slice you open and tool around with your insides. Who would you pick to be your surgeon?
If someone's missing from the list, you can post a comment to share your opinion. And if you wanted to make things really fun, post a comment telling us what you think you would need surgery for!
Sorry, Fridays make me a little giddy...

Who Let the Dogs Out?
Finally! The much anticipated return of Grey's Anatomy. I celebrated Thursday, April 24th as if it were a national holiday. I canceled plans, I amassed all the necessary food assortments (that being junk-food and soda) and sat my butt on the couch a full half hour before the show started. I didn't want to miss a thing. And I have to say, even knowing a good deal of what was supposed to happen during this show, I was still surprised. Grey's Anatomy never disappoints.
Anyways, the show begins with the usual Meredith voice-over. This one is about how we're not much more than animals... blah de blah de blah. I really do hate those Meredith voice-overs. Apparently, it has been five weeks since in TV land since the faith healer and baby Tuck's unfortunate tangle with the bookcase. The residents are living in the hospital due to a surgery contest with a point system (you see, living in their own homes might result in them missing out on an awesome surgery worth lots of points). The resident with the most points gets some kind of fancy prize. Meredith is in therapy, which obviously made me almost giddy. But she's not there for McDreamy, oh no. The fact that he is all lovey dovey with Nurse McSlutty has nothing to do with it. Although, I must say this, McDreamy seems more indifferent to this relationship than Nurse McSlutty, who proudly proclaims to Lexie at the nurse's station that she loves him. Yeah, ok... A bit over the top, don't you think?
Callie and Dr. Hahn are like BFF now. I must say though, that there are some pretty strong lesbian undertones going on in their friendship. Maybe they're just close, but I don't know. I sense something juicy.
McSteamy just doesn't know what to do with himself now that Dr. Hahn and Callie are off doing their thing and completely ignoring him. And on top of that, he's a little jealous of McDreamy's new relationship with Nurse McSlutty, who he doesn't like at all. He was under the impression that after the Addison/Meredith triangular cluster[bleep] of love, that McDreamy and he were going to hang out and be single men together. And now he's lonely. I have two things to say about this plot-line. One, McSteamy is quickly becoming one of my favorite characters. Because he looks out for his buddy and he doesn't like Rose. Now, if he out-right hated her for no good reason, well, I might not feel the same. However, he just doesn't feel right about her and wasn't shy about vocalizing this to McDreamy. My hero! And two, McDreamy certainly does move from one relationship to the next, doesn't he? And I'm not talking about ending one relationship only to start a new one. That considerate, albeit disjointed way of dating just isn't for him. He'd like to sail from one relationship right into the next without all that being-single-for-five-minutes business. Think about it, he was still technically married when he started that stuff with Meredith. And he was still with Meredith [technically] when he tongue wrestled Nurse McSlutty. Damn boy, take a minute to breathe between women. Good god!
Moving on, there is still a little bit of unexpected tension between George and Izzie now that the Gizzie affair is over. And thank God for that (the end of the relationship, not the tension). Several different times Izzie makes some passive aggressive comments about her instincts being all wrong (what with her deciding to sleep with a married man and all) and George is now living in one of the grossest apartments I have ever seen, with Lexie. Lexie and Meredith have this almost sisterly bond over Lexie's sticky fingers, but as soon as Lexie tries to get personal, Meredith becomes all business and distant. I have faith that they'll work it out eventually. Not that I expect them to giggle over boys while braiding each other's hair or anything, but I hope one day, they will be able to communicate in a sisterly way.
I suppose it's time to actually talk about the patients. I mean, this is a medical drama, after all. The meat of the medicine is directed at this one group of campers who have been attacked by a bear. Two brothers and a wife. To make this a little easier to understand, since I have no idea what their names were, I'll name the brothers Brother A and Brother B. Ok now, Brother A is married to the girl there. He married this chick after 10 days of knowing her. She's a middle-class waitress, and I guess he's supposed to be loaded or something. Brother B is just there to be a wicked cool patient. We don't really know anything about his personal life. Anyways, Brother A, Brother B and wife decide to go out into the wilderness to camp. Brother A decides it would be a good idea to reach out and touch a baby cub, which prompts Mama Bear to come and tear the everloving crap out of everybody. Brother A has a hole in his hand, meaning you can actually see through it. Wife is missing part of her head, meaning her skull flap is just kind of hanging out on the side of her head. And Brother B's intestines are on the outside of his body rather than on the inside. And what's really weird is, Brother A drove all of them to the hospital instead of waiting for an ambulance. The other patient is just an old man with an ankle injury.
Now, keep in mind there is a surgical contest going on. So not only are the residents trying to pick the grossest cases, but they are also trying for a point system. The points I caught were 1 point per stitch (Brother B needs about a hundred of them) and 80 points for solving a medical mystery (Izzie thinks ankle man probably has a serious disease no one will catch because they're all focused on the ankle). Cristina is ahead in points when the patients roll up. She picks Brother B because all those stitches will seal the game for her. However, Bailey (who is officiating the contest) decides Alex and Cristina will share him. Alex has a chance to catch up to Cristina if he can do more stitches than her, which seems likely since she has to leave every hour to give Dr. Hahn an update about Brother B. Meredith gets Brother A, who seems to be a pretty straight forward case. However, as she learns more about his erratic behavior (like touching a baby cub when he knew better, marrying a woman he only knew for 10 days and driving everyone to the hospital rather than wait for an ambulance), she starts to suspect that Brother A has a tumor that is affecting his judgment. And guess what, if she's right, she's solved a medical mystery and she wins. Izzie spends her day trying to find some kind of life threatening disease in the man with the ankle injury. She orders tons of unnecessary and rather painful tests (including a spinal tap) and leads this man to believe he's dying from some unheard of disease all so she can solve a medical mystery and win the contest. Turns out, the guy only has the flu. He's appropriately unhappy about this.
Brother B dies because, well, his insides became his outsides and not many people can handle that kind of stress to the body. Brother A actually does have a tumor, which can't be operated on, and wife just gets her head sewn up and everything is fine. Meredith wins the surgical contest because of Brother A's tumor, although she doesn't seem very excited about it. Her prize is a red and white striped sparkly pager. A magic pager it seems, because it gives her the power to decide which surgeries she wants in on. Basically, this pager gives her the power to take someone else's patient if she wants it. Oh, and obviously, she'll be the first resident paged. The other residents are obviously unhappy about this, but I'm sure they'll all get over it.
All in all, this was a really good episode. Gross, bloody and appropriately sentimental what with all the freeze frame shots of McDreamy and Nurse McSlutty engaging in PDA right in front of Meredith. Meredith is handling this break-up with McDreamy much more maturely than she did the others. When Izzie and Cristina try to console her, as best friends are likely to do after a breakup, by calling her mean and awful, Meredith tells them to stop. Because Nurse McSlutty isn't an awful person (I beg to differ) and she has accepted that she and McDreamy are over. She's in therapy to deal with her many many issues and she even brings herself to consult him about a possible treatment for Brother A's tumor, even though it is painfully obvious that she would rather talk to anyone else. I'm pretty proud of my little Meredith. Being all adult and mature and actually trying to get healthier. I could just pinch her little cheek.
Essentially, I loved it. I loved all of it. And it was nice to have a quick Grey's fix after such a long withdrawal period. All is right with the world. Grey's Anatomy, we welcome you back with open arms.

Will The New Episode of Grey's Anatomy Live up to the Hype? - The Results
So the results of yet another fantastic poll created by yours truly are in. Awhile ago I asked you guys if you believed that the new Grey's Anatomy episode will live up to the hype, or if the writer's strike has ruined television for all of eternity. And you all answered with a resounding yes, Grey's Anatomy is going to rock. In fact, there was no other alternative according to you, as 100% of the responses were in support of the new episode, and everyone's favorite show, returning to the air as soon as humanly possible.
And the countdown has begun. Grey's Anatomy will return in:
6 Days!

Depressing Thought It May Be
It is time to look ahead to the end of season 4. This will air on May 22nd and surprise! will last 2 hours. From 9 until 11, everybody's favorite show will say goodbye to yet another season in style. I'm not sure what the season finale would be about, what will happen or who is getting kicked off this season (I'm kidding! Totally kidding, Grey's Gods. Let us lose no more characters). But the basic point of this post is that season 4 is, in total, 17 hours long. So, despite the writer's strike, season 4 actually will turn out to be fairly decent, length wise. And the return of Grey's Anatomy will be about a month long before it leaves again for the summer. I'm not sure how the re-runs of the season will sustain us throughout the summer. Hopefully, I'll have a life on Thursday nights this summer and it won't really affect me. Now, I realize I'm rambling. So, in case this made absolutely no sense whatsoever, I shall sum up.
I hope you enjoyed this little newsy tidbit.
- Grey's Anatomy is returning April 24th, but it over for the summer on May 22nd
- The season finale will last 2 hours. Yay!
- In total, season 4 or Grey's Anatomy will be 17 hours long. Meh.
I hope you enjoyed this little newsy tidbit.
A somewhat morbid looking picture of the Grey's Cast
The Big Day Is Almost Here
The new episode of Grey's Anatomy waits for us just around the corner. Most of us are nearly giddy with excitement. I know, for my part, I've been spending the last couple weeks brushing up on Grey's Anatomy Season 3. And here, brushing up means laying in bed for hours on end watching episode after episode while my roommate rolls her eyes at my intense lameness. Don't worry, Grey's hasn't become such an obsession that it's messing with my schoolwork... well, not yet anyways.
Anyways, since it's been a pretty slow couple of weeks news-wise, I've started to wonder whether the time lost will make a difference to Grey's Anatomy fans. Did the writer's strike turn you off television completely? Do you think Shonda Rhimes has had enough time to write a truly fantastic 'welcome back viewers' episode yet? Or, is your faith in Grey's Anatomy and all it's dark and twisty characters so strong that you do not doubt for a minute that the triumphant return of Grey's Anatomy to television will be enough to inspire ticker-tape parades and eventually lead to statues of all the residents that stand 30 feet tall in the heart of Hollywood? I want to know what you think. So, of course, I made another poll. Yippee! I've been starting to miss those little suckers, you know?

6 Weeks Later: The Spoiler Edition
Heads Up Everyone! There are spoilers afoot!
More spoilers are being released, and though they are not really all the juicy or interesting... or really "news", I will do my civic duty and post them here. Well, you've been warned. If you keep reading and you don't want to know what's happening next, it won't be my fault.
And I think that's pretty much the gist of it. Tune in April 24th to catch all the action as that will be the premiere of the new episode!

- Callie and Hahn will be rooming together. I have no idea what happened to the whole Cristina/Callie roommates idea. Maybe I missed something?
- Lexie and George will be living together as roommates as well and apparently their new digs aren't that great. This is probably a result of Izzie and George finally realizing months after everyone else did that they are icky as a couple.
- The residents, minus Meredith, will be competing in a surgical contest. I have no idea what that means or even what the ethical logistics are. But I do know that Bailey (of all people!) will be judging the contest. WHAT?!
- McDreamy is dating McSlutty Nurse. Gross.
And I think that's pretty much the gist of it. Tune in April 24th to catch all the action as that will be the premiere of the new episode!

Ellen Pompeo IS Alive
Now, since Grey's Anatomy has gone off the air, Ellen Pompeo has been laying low. In fact, there's been almost no news about her. She searched for an apartment and wore a questionable outfit, which has since been determined 'Hot' by our readers here at the Seattle Grace Gossip Center. However, tonight on the Late Show with David Letterman, Ellen Pompeo will make a little visit. If you're having Meredith withdrawals, be sure to tune into CBS tonight. Maybe she'll even drop a couple juicy tidbits about upcoming plot lines.
Damn, Ellen, you look down right appealing!
McDreamy Smells Nice
Patrick Dempsey, the doctor that flutters young hearts everywhere each Thursday night, is coming out with his own cologne. In cooperation with Avon, McDreamy plans to release his scent sometime in November, with a mass release to come sometime in 2009. Though there is no word yet on what the scent will, well, smell like, Patrick and his wife have been involved every step of the way. In fact, Jillian (Dempsey's wife) has been working with Avon for nearly two years.
How much luck do you think I'll have convincing my boyfriend to smell like McDreamy on a regular basis?

How very GQ of you, Patrick.
I Did NOT See This Coming!
We all breathed a collective sigh of relief when the Gizzie Affair started to look like it wasn't going to survive. However, we very nearly escaped a real life imitation of Gizzie! Ah, the horror! When the show first started filming, the ever ballsy Katherine Heigl had her eye on T.R. For the first couple of weeks, she flirted aggressively and was baffled when the invitation was not returned. Katherine said, "When we were filming the pilot I was single and so was he and I kind of had my eye on him. I was getting nowhere and I was super-confused. I was like, ‘Hello? Do I have something hanging out of my nose? Why aren’t you paying any attention to me?' Needless to say, it quickly became a friendship once he told me."
I really have to say, I absolutely did not see this coming. I feel blindsided for crying out loud. Is nothing sacred and pure? Must everything be tainted by lust?

Nice face, Katherine.
Accidental Friendship
Hallmark is the equivalent of Lifetime. This is fact. And now that I know, my favorite resident Miranda Bailey is set to star in her own Hallmark Channel original movie, Accidental Friendship, well I've decided to start stocking up on chocolate and tissues now. The movie is about a woman who finds unexpected friendship in a female police officer. Not much else is known about the film, except that it is set to air on television at the end of the year. I absolutely cannot wait.

Helpful Additions
Anne Dawes, writer of Grey's Anatomy: An Unauthorized View From the Other Side, recently reminded me that I'm missing a few hook-ups on my chart. Some I had completely forgotten about. Now, that's got to tell you that this woman knows her stuff. So go buy her book. Seriously.
Anyways, here is the updated chart, with help from Anne Dawes. I've decided to make it a completely different color to keep it consistent.
Just as a reference, in case you (like I) forgot some of these people:
Mrs. Seabury: The sheltered woman who came in for surgery to treat her cancer, but decided last minute to cancel the surgery. She decided to live the rest of her life doing all the things she never did; like shop-lift, eat a lot of sugar and apparently, have sex with Karev in the bathroom of Joe's bar.
Steve: Meredith's one-night stand who ended up coming to the hospital the next day due to prolonged erection that just would not go away. As a result, Derek (McDreamy) had to be called in to treat what they believed to be a neurological condition.
Colin Marlowe: The hot-shot doctor Cristina slept with while in grad-school. Burke admires him and looks up to him as a mentor-type guy, but has a little problem with his idol having slept with (and continually pursuing) his girlfriend.
Hank: the hockey player that Izzie was dating long before the Alex/Denny/George thing happened. He's the one she tried to avoid by throwing a huge party at Meredith's house, which she didn't even end up attending seeing as she had a chance to do brain surgery right before she was about to leave for the night.
That should about cover it. If you don't know who Joe is, you clearly don't watch the show and I'm not about to explain to you that Joe (and his bar) are central to the existence of the show. If you are confused about who Thatcher Grey is, just go away now. Really. As an extension of that, Susan Grey is critical to some pretty serious plot lines. So once again, if you don't know her, well, I'm not going to explain it to you.
Thanks, Anne, for all your lovely contributions.

A time to celebrate!
I just reached 10,000 hits! Yay! And, more and more of you are participating in the polls. The latest one, Hot or Not, which analyzed Ellen Pompeo's retro disco diva all white ensemble, accrued a total of eight votes. That's an all time high! Anyway, let's bank my mounting excitement for a while and give you the results of that poll.
75% of you (6 votes) insisted Ellen's outfit was indeed, hot! Though I don't personally agree, it seems most of you thought she pulled off the John Travolta circa Saturday Night Fever look.
On the other hand, 25% of you (2 votes) agreed that Ellen's fashion statement missed. And missed horribly, at that.
Thank you, dearest readers, for boosting my ego and taking part in my polls. Now we can all just forget the girlish squeal I projected into the universe when I realized people actually read this blog.

Remember McVet?
If you honestly do not know who I'm talking about when I say the name "McVet", this website is probably not for you. You should just continue along with your merry browsing. However, if you do remember McVet and were sad to see him go, don't worry! Because you can see him again in a new film, Max Payne, which is apparently a film adaptation of a video game.
Chris O'Donnell, the cutie that played Meredith's boyfriend in season three (and also saw to all the medical needs of her dog) is slated to star alongside Mark Wahlberg, another hottie, in the crime drama about a cop, out for revenge after being haunted by the death of his family. Oh, sounds juicy.
The film is due out October 17th, 2008.

Hot or Not?
So what do you think? Ellen Pompeo: hot or not?
She could be trying to revamp the classic Saturday Night Fever or maybe she lost a bet. High waisted pants on anyone without a curvy figure has the potential to be catastrophic. But what do you think? Is she pulling it off? Or does the cardinal rule still stand: Absolutely no white pants after Labor Day.

Elisabeth Reaser May Get Her Own Show.
But don't worry, it's not a spin-off. The show, Mythological X, which sounds sort of like a sci-fi thriller series, is about about a woman who discovers through a psychic that she has already dated and dumped the man she is destined to marry. I assume the series, if it gets the green light, will zoom in on Elisabeth's character (Annabel) going backwards through her dating time line to find out which one she is destined to be with forever. I'm also guessing, hilarious hijinks will ensue.
You know, I'm actually sort of looking forward to this show. I mean, there's only so much growing Elisabeth can do on Grey's Anatomy as Ava/Jane Doe/ Rebecca. In this case, having three names and two different personas is kind of getting a little dull. I mean, so far, her only plot-line has been falling in love with Alex as Ava and living the life she had before her accident as Rebecca. And the back and forth is getting kind of monotonous.
The show, Mythological X, will air on Fox should the pilot get picked up. Right now, it's only in the "sell, sell, sell" stage of television production.

Katherine Heigl Tries to Take Back What She Said About Leaving Grey's
The biggest news about Katherine Heigl, besides her marriage to Josh Kelley is the constant push and pull of will she or won't she? Leave Grey's for her super huge movie career, that is. But now, Heigl says she never had plans to leave in the first place. "When I come back to Grey's, I am actually really excited. After nine months a year for four years, of course you're going to think, 'I want to be someone else for a while.' I landed really good things and I did them on my breaks. It broke up the monotony of the character and I'm very, very grateful for opportunities. But Grey's is such a good cast. Everybody is amazing."
Wow, Katherine. That's a whole lot of love for your Grey's cast. Maybe you've finally realized you probably shouldn't burn bridges as you head towards you're glamorous film career? Or maybe you're just covering all your bases. It still kind of sounds like you're sick and tired of Isobel Stevens. Oh right, you can go back to Grey's now that you've taken a break from being Izzie for a while. It's only your job, woman!

Dear God, Help Us All!
Just a few mere months after the writer's strike ended, another strike looms on the horizon. The actor's agreement with media moguls, though I'm not quite sure what it's called, is set to expire this summer. And adding to the problem, the two major unions that make up the actor's camp have decided to split and go it alone against the big guys. SGA and AFTRA have split with AFTRA saying, "For the past year SAG leadership in Hollywood has engaged in a relentless campaign of disinformation and disparagement," and SGA's President saying, "AFTRA's refusal now to bargain together with us and their last-second abandonment of the joint process is calculated, cynical and may serve the interests of their institution, but not its members."
Come on guys. Get it together. I promise you it's not worth another strike. Plus, if I have to miss out on any more Grey's Anatomy new episodes because you greedy bastards can't get along, well then, heads are going to have to roll. And you can count on it.

Please, let's try our best to avoid a repeat of this!
Why Didn't I Know About This?
T.R Knight has a boyfriend. I'm guessing we didn't know about this until now because well, he's 35 and his boyfriend, Mark Cornelsen, is 19. Yeah. But the cat is out of the bag as the two were spotted house hunting in the Hollywood Hills yesterday. My goodness, but they are moving quite quickly.
T.R still refuses to talk about how he feels about the conflict with Isaiah Washington some time back. If you don't know what "incident" I'm talking about, then you are in way over your head and you probably shouldn't be reading this page.

McDreamy Has a Need for Speed
In addition to being drop dead gorgeous, and keeping us all occupied with trying to figure out if he and Meredith will ever work it out, McDreamy has now taken up racing. Patrick Dempsey, better known to us as McDreamy, is in Homestead Florida for the 25o mile Gainsco Grand Prix of Miami. Dempsey's co driver, Joe Foster, and he will be driving a souped-up and specially painted No. 40 Hyper Sport Mazda RX-8. If I knew even the slightest thing about cars, I'm sure I would be impressed by that. However, as it stands, it means about the same to me as all those super long, fancy, diagnoses the doctors of Grey's Anatomy are constantly throwing around.
This is not the first time Dempsey has raced and he's really not half bad at the sport. Last year, in the same race, he came in sixth. I won't be watching, because even Patrick Dempsey cannot interest me in a sport in which the only action is cars taking left turns all day long. But I wish him well anyways.

Sara Ramirez + Teddy Bears = Soo Freaking Adorable
Sara Ramirez has signed on to the Project Teddy Bear section of the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer, sponsoring Lisa Spodak. The fund raiser involves celebrities who have volunteered to sign their autograph and take a picture with a teddy bear. These things are later auctioned off and the proceeds are sent to the person being sponsored to help with medical bills, care and medications. Sara's teddy bear picture and autograph was auctioned off for 127.50$ on March 21st. And the picture is absolutely adorable. Here, take a gander.

More Polls
Last time, when I asked you guys if you thought Katherine Heigl's off-set behavior made you like her character Izzie any less, I got a dead lock three way tie. You all seem to have extremely different views on Katherine v Izzie:
2 of you said: I don't think her behavior off-set is really all that bad.
Another 2 of you said: Izzie is a sweetheart. Whatever Katherine does off-set has no bearing on Izzie.
And yet another 2 of you said: They're both pretty annoying.
Thanks to all those that participated. And, well, if you didn't get a chance to participate in that poll, it's okay because, I bring you another!
Who would you rather be BFF with?

Kate Walsh to Star Opposite Paul Bettany
Paul Bettany is probably one of my favorite movie actors of all time. Seriously. And now that he's teaming up with Kate Walsh in a doomsday film called Legion due out in 2009, there is one more movie added to the list of must-sees. According to imdb.com, the movie is about God losing faith in humanity and sending his legion of angels to take care of business on Earth.
Humankind's hope lies in a group of misfits holed up in a desert diner -- where the archangel Michael happens to be as well. Kate plays a character by the name of Sandra Anderson. We can only hope this movie is as amazing as all of Paul Bettany's other movies. And with the added star-shine of Kate Walsh, who has starred in such classics as Wake Up Ron Burgundy: The Lost Movie, Family Man and Under the Tuscan Sun, I'm sure this latest movie will be a hit... hopefully. And if not, at least Kate always has Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy.

Sheesh, not the best picture of Kate, now is it?
More From Justin
Justin Chambers is finally talking about his stay at UCLA's medical center a few months back, citing he suffers from a biological sleep disorder. According to Chambers, he would only sleep about an hour a night and hadn't had any real rest in two full months. Justin said, "It's a biological sleep disorder. Your mind keeps racing, and your body is tired. It wants to go to sleep, but it can't." As many of you may remember, shortly after Justin checked himself in, another high profile celeb was also afmitted: Britney Spears. And Justin had something to say about that, too. "I only got attention because Britney came. Otherwise, it would've been private." The Grey's Anatomy star blames Britney's media circus for shining the spotlight on his otherwise secret hospital stay.
Maybe all this explanation is Justin's way of coping with his disease, although he now says that after his hospital stay he regularly gets six or seven hours of sleep a night and that he's fine. However, this could also be damage control; an excuse for his erratic behavior in Palm Springs.

Justin Chambers is Cr-Razy
Remember when Justin Chambers checked himself into a psych ward a couple months back? Yeah, he said it was due to exhaustion and sleep deprivation. Well, maybe he should consider a return visit. His behavior in Palm Springs this past week just screams, "someone please save me from myself!" At first, he tried flirting with a waitress. And when the waitress showed no interest, he slapped money out of her hand. When the waitress bent down to pick up the money, he is quoted as saying "That's right, bitch, that's where you belong. Pick up the money!"
As if that kind of behavior isn't appalling enough, he apparently passed out at the table and when he awoke, starting yelling about being a father of five and how he was a good dad and everyone should leave him alone. This tirade was completely unprovoked, as he was unconscious on the table prior to the explosion.
You know, I really wish I was making this up. Because apparently, all my favorite characters on my favorite show ever have serious issues. Katherine Heigl is kind of a brat. Justin Chambers has a hidden hobby for verbal attacking and degrading palm springs waitresses. And then of course, there is the excommunicated Isaiah Washington with his hated filled messages against homosexuality. Unfortunately, nothing about this story is fabricated. We even have pictures.
Behold!

Heigl Wasn't Supposed to Be Cast in Knocked Up At All!
Katherine Heigl, who has criticized the movie that made her famous (Knocked Up) for being sexist, apparently wasn't supposed to be the star in the first place. Judd Apatow's first choice for the role of Alison Scott was Anne Hathaway. However, Anne backed out citing the movie was too radical for her (i'm guessing she is referencing that part at the end where they show a baby's head crowning). Katherine was quoted as saying "I think Anne found the film a little too radical especially with the shot at the end! Seeing a baby's head poking through was a little strong but the reaction of the audience at that point was so extreme. They just screamed - especially the men!"
So, let me get this straight, Katherine. You're only too happy to star in a role considered "too radical" by the actress that was supposed to play the role, but as soon as the movie makes you famous, it's suddenly a sexist film. Right? Yeah, I thought so.
And just so we're clear, does this picture of you objectify women? No? Alright, just trying to follow you're crazy logic.

The Chart
To help you keep track of who is doing who on the show where more hook-ups happen than surgeries, I have devised a chart to help you keep up. This chart only tracks who has actually slept with whom, while omitting make out sessions, because really, that could get messy. If you see any mistakes, please let me know. Also let me know if there are any hook-ups I've missed.
SPOILERS!
Turn back now if you are the type of person that likes surprises. Luckily for you all, I am not one of those people. And, I have the low down on the returning episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Worship me later if you feel the need.
Last chance before I reveal the spoilers. Better go, now.
First up, Meredith is going to be a stronger, more independent woman when the first episode returns on April 24th. She'll be navigating the waters of a world without McDreamy. As you all know, the pair broke up in the last episode before the writer's strike. However, by the fifth and final episode of the season, McDreamy and Meredith will have worked things out and will be together for good. I wonder what that means? Does "for good" translate to "until next season" or does "for good" translate to "a wedding". I doubt it, but I do sort of feel like Grey's Anatomy owes me a wedding ever since the fiasco of Dr. Burke and Dr. Yang. Another reason I highly doubt a wedding: Nurse Slutty is still around. Yeah, I felt the same way.
Second: Izzie and George have finally figured out that they are better off as friends. Halleluiah!! I thought the writers would never get the point. Even after I pretty much spelled out that the Gizzie affair is an abomination and the most incestual, nauseating relationship I have ever witnessed on TV aside from that one time I accidentally caught a viewing of Flowers in the Attic on Lifetime. I kind of attribute traumatic experiences like watching a brother and sister do the nasty on TV to my ultimate life goal of becoming a fantastic psychologist. And yes, I realize Izzie and George are not related in any way, shape or form, but my extensive knowledge of their off-screen sibling-like relationship ruins any chance of taking their characters as lovers seriously.
And finally, as I've already reported, Addison is back to do some kind of serious surgery either on a pregnant woman, or an infant. You can see her in the second episode. And I guess Ava is back. Call her what you will: Jane Doe, Ava, Rebecca, Karev's love interest, whatever. I don't really care much, so I won't report on it. Eventually the writers will take me seriously when I say Karev needs to be with Izzie.

It's a Slow News Day
So i brought you another exciting poll. Recently, Katherine has been in the news a lot, and not a lot of it is flattering. She's gaining a reputation for being a diva by demanding a higher salary on Grey's Anatomy, referring to the movies that made her famous as sexist and fluff, and last but not least, trying to get out of her contract on Grey's early to focus entirely on her developing film career. I thought it might be nice to generate some discussion and see how you felt about the situation. Will Katherine's off-screen behavior have an effect on how Grey's fans view her character Izzie?

Katherine Is a Ballsy Little Girl, Isn't She?
In addition to being a bossy little brat while working at Grey's Anatomy, Katherine proves she's not much different in her personal life. Apparently, she got so tired of waiting for Josh to propose that she actually confronted him about what his intentions were. She was quoted as saying that "I knew early on how much I adored this person and when I tried to imagine my life without him I really couldn't. So it felt very real and very right pretty early on. I didn't want to just date, I wanted to move forward." She even went so far as to pick out her own diamond for her ring. The two met in 2005 and married in December of 2007.
Well, whatever works for you, Katherine.
In other Grey's news, more completely vague and unsurprising information has been leaked about Kate Walsh's one episode return to Grey's Anatomy. Dr. Addison Shepherd returns to Seattle Grace for a little visit just as a patient in dire need of emergency neo-natal surgery is admitted. Well, how very shocking. Of course, nothing has been leaked about a possible rekindling romance between Addison and McSteamy, who are obviously meant to be together. But if Kate's character ends up performing a surgery on her only visit to Seattle Grace, perhaps it's possible for her to return to the show. Coincidentally, as it stands, Addison can have her job back any time she wants it as offered by the chief when she originally decided to leave. Maybe Kate's spin-off isn't going as well as predicted?

TR Knight's Lost Dr. Pepper Commercial
Long ago, before the fame of Grey's Anatomy, the actors we have all come to love were simply struggling actors waiting for their big break. As a result, there can be some very embarrassing clips roaming around on the internet. As we've already established, Chyler Leigh (Lexie Grey) starred in a low budget movie in which the script called for her to kiss her co-star, who also happened to be her brother. Katherine Heigl was in a cutesy Disney movie called Wish Upon a Star in which she had a short bob and wore blue eyeshadow. That's right. I said blue eyeshadow. And now, I've discovered that our beloved TR Knight (Dr. O'Malley) starred in a Diet Dr. Pepper commercial. And in this commercial he has, wait for it, BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS! Good god, I just can't take it. If you think you can stomach it, here's the clip.
Oh, TR Knight. I promise to love you, even in your blondest moment. But, for shame. Really.
Oh, TR Knight. I promise to love you, even in your blondest moment. But, for shame. Really.
Is There a Baby Heigl on The Way?
No, not quite yet. But the couple is planning to try. Katherine wants to start as early as July, after only 6 months of marriage. Meanwhile, hubby Josh Kelley wants to be married for a year and a half before trying to bring kids into the mix. I mean, considering they didn't live together at all before they were married, I think Josh has the right idea. I think it's important to figure out if you really can live with each other, quirks and all, before you bring children into the picture. (Personally, I'd want to find all of that out before I got married, but what are you gonna do?) The couple has decided to compromise and start trying sometime in December, after only a year of marriage. Well, I wish them luck and look forward to seeing a little Heigl-Kelley hybrid in the future.
Ready for a baby?
Grey's Characters Make It Onto Another List
The characters (as well as the actor's and actresses that play them) on Grey's Anatomy have been making top ten lists since, well, forever. Katherine Heigl was voted top woman on the 99 Top Women's list. Justin Chambers was voted sexiest dad while Katherine shared another honor with hubby Josh Kelley as sexiest couple. A scene from one of Patrick Dempsey's earlier movies made the top ten list of worst nude scenes ever (hard to believe, I know). And now, we have another.
Meredith Grey (Ellen Pomeo) and McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey) have come in third on a top ten list of hottest love scenes for their sex scene in an exam room. I'm sorry I can't be more specific, that's really all that was listed. However, when I read this, two things immediately popped into my head.
1. Why isn't that list riddled with Grey's Anatomy interludes? That's pretty much all that show is about.
2. Which time Meredith and McDreamy had sex in an exam room are they referencing? There's been quite a few. An exam room is kind of their favorite place to do the naughty.
I wish I had more for you, but the only other news is Katherine Heigl is still whining about wanting to leave the show for her big movie career. I'm not exactly sure why since Katherine has referenced her own movies as "sexist" (Knocked Up) and "fluff" (27 Dresses). Currently, she's busy comparing herself to other big time movie stars that got their start on hit shows and then made the leap to Hollywood. Most shockingly, George Clooney. That's right. Katherine Heigl is comparing her situation to when George Clooney left E.R to make awesome movies. She has also made reference to Tom Hanks, who got his start on Bosom Buddies before taking off into the world of Cinema. But last time I checked, neither Knocked Up or 27 Dresses were comparable to Forrest Gump or Cast Away. Personally, I think Katherine Heigl is headed the same direction as David Caruso. And all I can do is sit here and watch, horrified as one of my favorite new actresses puts her career in a car and pushes it off a cliff. And I bet it will make a big exposion, too.
Why, Katherine,why?!

Movies Movies Movies!
Imdb.com is my best friend, as it enlightens me to projects my favorite Grey's characters are working on in the absence of new episodes and when news is slow. Last time I reported on Katherine Heigl's attempt to bail out of her contract in order to focus on her burgeoning film career. Well, it seems our lovely leading lady is slated to star in a movie called The Ugly Truth which will begin production April 15th in Portland, Oregon. Apparently, the movie is about "a romantically challenged morning show producer is reluctantly embroiled in a series of outrageous tests by her chauvinistic correspondent to prove his theories on relationships and help her find love." No offense to Katherine Heigl, but if she plans on leaving Grey's to make generic chick flicks like this one, she's not exactly proving that she is a serious actress. Make a movie about the Genocide in Darfur, act brilliantly in it and then make a couple more controversial movies that the general public doesn't get but is poignant and makes a statement and then maybe we'll consider you more than a TV actress. But enough of these Knocked Up knock-offs. You won't survive forever on them, you'll just get typecasted.
Starring opposite our favorite Seattle Grace resident will be Gerard Butler, who starred in PS. I love you, which also featured Jefferey Dean Morgan (That's Denny to all you Grey's lovers). What a coincidence. Anyways, now that I've played my own version of six degrees of separation, its time to bring you even more movie news.

There's no movie poster for The Ugly Truth, but I'm sure it will looks something like this and this.
Chandra Wilson is currently making a movie about Jeannette Rankin, the first woman elected to congress, called A Single Woman. Chandra will be the voice of Coretta Scott King. Imdb reports only that the movie will be out in 2008. Now these are the kind of movies Katherine needs to get herself involved with.

My! I Have So Much To Tell You All!
First up:
Patrick Dempsey is opening a cancer care center called The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing. And though you may think that Eric Dane's recent cancer scare may have prompted this, it is in fact his mother's ovarian cancer scare that started the project. And it seems to be a family affair as Dempsey's sister will be running the center as its new coordinator while Patrick focuses on the public education campaign. Patrick says his mother's fight which began 10 years ago left him feeling lost and hopeless and without much information on the subject. He hopes this center will not only help families fight the cancer, but educate them on the disease. Patrick's mother is luckily cancer free and in remission. The center will open on march 31 in his hometown of Maine.

Katherine Heigl is kind of a full time brat on the set of Grey's Anatomy. Rumors have been swirling that she wants out of her contract and that if it were up to her, Izzie would be killed off. Now, why on Earth would Katherine want to drop out of the show that made her famous? Why, to focus on her ever so popular movie career, that's why! Seems Katherine is a little worried that being tied down to one of the biggest shows to ever air on television will prevent the little princess from being that big time movie star she's always dreamed of being. I'm sorry Katherine, but to bail out on the show that gave you your popularity will only serve to make you less popular. And, your movies aren't that great. They're cute. They're kitchy. But come on, Katherine. You're not exactly Drew Barrymore or Julia Roberts.
But don't worry folks, Katherine's not going anywhere. She still has two more years left on her contract and jumping ship early would only cause her a lot of headaches she doesn't want. However, this is not the first issue ABC has had with the darling diva. Last year, as a fairly new actress on the scene, Katherine got into an argument with her producers about her salary and claimed they didn't value her as much as Sandra Oh. (News flash Katherine, Sandra has been around forever. And she's brilliant. Don't go preparing yourself to have your hand-prints immortalized in front of Grauman's on Hollywood Boulevard just yet.)
And Finally:
Guess who has some spoilers for the upcoming new episodes of Grey's Anatomy? I do!
Spoiler Alert!
If you don't want to know what happens, stop reading. I'm ending this post with spoilers on purpose. Don't worry, you won't miss any news.
Shonda Rhimes told Entertainment Weekly a few tasty tidbits about the direction Grey's Anatomy will be moving in future episodes. Shonda says she would love for Meredith and McDreamy to get together for real and explore what it means to be in a serious committed relationship. However, Nurse Rose (or the slutty nurse as I so lovingly refer to her) will be appearing in five more episodes. So we're not quite rid of McDreamy's other love interest quite yet. And finally, Jane Doe will be back for three more episodes. (I believe Shonda is referring to the lovely Ava)
Whew. That was a lot of news to cover. Well, enjoy!
Patrick Dempsey is opening a cancer care center called The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope and Healing. And though you may think that Eric Dane's recent cancer scare may have prompted this, it is in fact his mother's ovarian cancer scare that started the project. And it seems to be a family affair as Dempsey's sister will be running the center as its new coordinator while Patrick focuses on the public education campaign.

You Can Buy Katherine Heigl's Oscar Dress
Katherine Heigl is auctioning off that fabulous red dress she wore to the Academy Awards. You can go to the Clothes Off Our Back auction page to place your bid. You have about 12 days to place your bid. The auction is currently at 2,750 dollars, but it's probably more than that once you've finished reading this. It may be a lot of money, but keep in mind, it is an Escada dress.
And it's beautiful! Although, admittedly, it's probably a little out of your price range. However, all the proceeds go to benefiting hunger relief, girls' scholarships in Africa and enriching the lives of artists. Yay charity.

Kate Walsh Backs Barack
Kate Walsh is throwing her weight behind Barack Obama and has decided to support his campaign. She spoke at a rally supporting Barack Obama last night at Texas A&M University. Kate has been traveling across country with the Barack Bandwagon in support of the presidential candidate. Initially Kate thought she would vote for Hillary, that is until she met Barack at the 2004 Democratic Convention. The first thing Barack did upon meeting the Private Practice star was to congratulate her on her spin-off, which earned him Kate Walsh's undying support. Walsh was also impressed with the diversity amongst his supporters, who span all races and ages.
Though all of this is fantastic, and I believe that people should vote for whoever they want, I don't really see any persuasive points in her speech. Essentially, Barack buttered her up by catering to her ego concerning her spin-off. And that's why Kate thinks you should vote for him? Personally, I'm voting for Barack as well, but only because he seems to be the lesser of all evils. Kate, if you want people to vote for Barack, you need to give them a reason. A reason beyond the fact that he apparently likes your show. How about his position on health care? Or maybe his plan for Iraq? Ooo! I know! His education plan. Seriously, Kate. Pick one. Research his views, and then support him and try to convince others to vote for him.
