Who's YOUR favorite character?

My favorite character just happens to be the ever loveable and completely hug-worthy George O'Malley. Sure, he's still an intern and yeah, he has this really bad habit for falling for girls that are really really bad for him, but he's my favorite all the same. I love to see him bumble his way through the melodrama of the hospital, ever so innocently. He's cute, he's funny and he's the namesake of my kitten. So he will always find himself a special place in my heart. Even if he does fall into some truly cringe-worthy relationships.

(A recap for those of you who do not devote your life to the plotline of Grey's)
1. Olivia: she's the one who gave him syphillis. And although they were absolutely adorable together, she was kind of a slut and was banging Alex at virtually the same time she was banging George. Which is so not ok. And really, what new relationship will survive a good case of syphillis?

2. Meredith: Then there was that icky, gross, nails against chalkboard feeling we all experienced during their one night stand. For God's sake, she started hysterically crying in the middle of it all. They could barely see each other through the haze of awkward in that room. God, that was awful.

3. Callie: Okay, so there wasn't anything truly heinous about his relationship with Callie, except for the fact that she was sort of a control freak. George lost almost enitrely his personality and quick wit during those few months we were forced to watch Callie control him. The whole thing seemed forced and suited to fit Callie's need for more air-time on the show.

4. Izzie: I don't know why George must continually gravitate toward his friends romantically, but there you have it. This "relationship" was even more awkward than the one with Meredith. They have absolutely no sexual chemistry. Watching their first drunken interlude for the first time, I found myself praying out loud that the writer's were not doing what I thought they were doing. Izzie and George are meant to be strictly friends. Buddies. Pals. Definitely not lovers. Hear that, writer's? It's gross. It's like incest. Please, make it stop.



So there you have my favorite character. Who's yours? Leave a comment telling us which intern or resident makes you religiously tune into Grey's. It would be nice to know why, too. :)

Sandra Oh Hosts the Genie Award

If you have never heard of the Genie awards, that's probably because it's an award show that honors great Canadian film. It might seem like an odd choice for Sandra to host such an award, but she was actually born and raised in Ottawa. And, she's won a couple Genie awards herself, for her roles in the movies Last Night and Double Happiness.

This year, movies such as Away From Her and Eastern Promises are nominated for the prestigious award. The awards will be given out March 3rd 2008.

While we wait...

While we await the fantastic reappearance of new Grey's episodes, I got to wondering what you guys think will happen. How would you like the rest of the season to go? And so, I've made some polls for you. Get to voting!

Your title Should Meredith and Derek get back together? No! How many times have they broken up so far? Of course. They're soul mates. Maybe if Meredith gets over her abandonment issues. No. It's never a good idea to sleep with your boss. view results

Your title Do you think George and Izzie have a shot? No! They're clearly better off as friends. Absolutely. They're so cute together! The whole Gizzie affair is an abomination. I just want to know what the writer's were thinking... view results

Your title Who is the cutest couple at Seattle Grace? Meredith and McDreamy Izzie and George Izzie and Alex Ava and Alex The Chief and his wife McDreamy and McSteamy McDreamy and the scrub nurse Bailey and Tucker McSteamy and Hahn Lexie and George view results

Various and Sundry Grey's Related Tid-Bits.

First, let's start off with the good news. Grey's Anatomy is definitely airing five more new episodes of Grey's Anatomy, the first of which will air April 24, 2008. ABC finally released the time slots for their broadcasting station Wednesday afternoon. Now that there's a definite date out there in the universe, it's time for all you Grey's fans to set your countdown clocks.

In other news, the cast of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice are going live on February 29, 2008. Nearly the entire cast of both shows are involved somehow and will perform a musical event called Good Medicine at UCLA's Royce Hall at 8pm. Whoever is working at UCLA's program council clearly know some people in high places. However, tickets are $100 and it is a one night only show. Headliners include Audra McDonald, Sara Ramirez and Loretta Divine, but each of our favorite cast members are slated to participate in the program.

Elizabeth Reaser (AKA Ava, Karev's love interest) is going to appear in the film Twilight, a vampire flick based on a series of young adult novels. The movie is about a young girl who moves with her father to a small town in Washington and becomes fascinated with a young classmate, Edward Cullen. She then meets the entire Cullen family, who are all apparently vampires. I don't know much about the books this movie is based off of. All I know is Edward Cullen is apparently every young avid reader's fantasy boyfriend. So it must be good. Good for you Ava. You go, girl.

Also, Patrick Dempsey and Katherine Heigl are on tap to be presenters at this year's Academy Awards. The pair will be doling out little gold statues this Sunday February 24, 2008. Jon Stewart will be hosting the show and Kristin Chenoweth will be singing "How do you Know?" from the movie Enchanted which starred our favorite hot doctor, McDreamy.

I totally didn't see this one coming.

Grey's Anatomy is obviously one of the country's biggest shows on TV right now. But I had no idea that Bill Clinton was a fan, too! In a recent interview, Chelsea Clinton revealed that not only does her father adore the show, but he also builds their schedule around the popular drama.

I gotta say, I did not see this one coming. I mean, Grey's Anatomy is essentially a soap opera for primetime. Not that there is anything wrong with that. I mean, come on, my life is literally starting to revolve around that show. But usually, soap operas appeal to middle aged women, not middle aged men. Least of all, middle aged men who have had to run a country and worry about international relations on a daily basis as part of his job description. Well, I guess retirement really is as boring as I hear it is, if Bill Clinton builds his enitre schedule around the show so he can watch it.

"I did not have sexual relations with Meredith Grey in the supply closet!"

Katherine Heigl and Josh Kelley are no longer homeless

The pair recently bought a 2.5 million dollar house in Los Feliz, California, which is about 18 minutes from Los Angeles. The four bedroom, three and a half bath house sort of reminds me of the house in Father of the Bride. It is a perfectly assembled representation of the idealized American Dream house, complete with white picket fence. Which only goes to show, if you make it big in Hollywood, the American Dream is yours. Unfortunately, without the fancy Hollywood job, your reality is more likely to be that fifth floor walk-up. You know, the one with the broken elevator? It's all yours. Home sweet home.

Now I'll afford you the opportunity to hate Katherine Heigl and the perfect house she just bought to fit in with her perfect life.

PS: I'm just waiting for the newlyweds to announce they're expecting twins, one boy and one girl, and that they are also adopting a golden retriever from the animal shelter.

Lexie Grey Not So Innocent

Well, well. I knew Lexie couldn't be as sweet as she seemed. It seems our doe-eyed intern has a few skeletons in her acting closet. Chyler Leigh (AKA Lexie Grey) starred in a low budget B movie way back in 1997 called Kickboxing Academy. But the fact that she starred in a low rate movie is not the shameful secret. After all, every actor and actress needs to start somewhere. The shameful secret is that she starred opposite her brother, who played her romantic love interest. And the two had several kissing scenes. And we're not talking loving pecks, here. (i must pause here to say: "EW!") Better yet, Chyler was only 15 when she made the movie.

If your stomach can handle it, here's the youtube video that exposed the secret. So the narrator is kind of annoying, but whatever. The important thing here is that Chyler Leigh made out with her brother!

Chyler Leigh (AKA Lexie Grey) tainted by incest

PS: the writer's strike is over. The rumored return of Grey's Anatomy in April or May is no longer a tentative deal, but fact. Expect your 4-7 new episodes in the next 2-3 months.

Celebrity Death match

So what has our little Ellen been up to since Grey's Anatomy starting airing re-runs? She's been fighting Cameron Diaz for a 5.5 million dollar New York apartment. It's a four bedroom, four bathroom flat with six private terraces. Cameron has viewed the apartment several times, while Ellen is said to have only seen it on one occasion. However, Ellen absolutely fell in love with the apartment and says its the perfect place to start her family. Ellen married Chris Ivery, a music producer, last November.

Ellen Pompeo (AKA Meredith Grey) with her celebrity death match face on.

Good News on the Horizon

Recent information suggests the writer's strike is drawing to a close. With this in mind, new scripts and new episodes of our dearly missed Grey's Anatomy will be back on before we can blink. And for even more reason to celebrate, the show has been picked up for more seasons. This means we are guaranteed at least another season more of our favorite promiscuous medical residents and interns (we can't exclude George. He's the namesake of my kitten for crying out loud).

You can imagine my ecstasy upon hearing such wonderful tidings. I simply could not forgive myself if i didn't share it with you A.S.A.P. Even if it is 11pm. And even if I should be working on my psychology research project.

Cancer Hits a Castmate

Eric Dane (AKA Dr. McSteamy) recently discovered he had malignant tissue in his lips due to sun damage. He noticed some unusual chapping after New Years. Unfortunately, when he went to the dermatologist, the cream given to him to treat the cancerous tissue caused a bad reaction. In the absence of any new material due to the writer's strike, Eric now has some time to recover and heal from this awful ordeal. I guess that's one good thing that came from the writer's strike.

Get well soon, Eric.

Quick! Call Scotland Yard!

Katherine Heigl, and honey Josh Kelley were robbed. Someone broke into their SUV via smashing in their window and stole their GPS. Apparently, that was all the thieves took, since the two guitars laying in the backseat were left behind.

I suppose Katherine Heigl has enough money to replace the GPS. I mean, even my boyfriend has a GPS. But it must be scary to know someone violated your personal property like that. I'd count that right below catching some guy rustling around in your underwear drawer on my list of most horrifying experiences ever.

Do I Dare?

Now here is an opportunity to get incredibly excited. Although the payoff could be better than our wildest dreams, it could also be the biggest letdown in the history of the world.

I'm just going to cut to the chase. Rumor is, Grey's Anatomy will resume production in March due to a tentative agreement between the writers and the production studios. That means that, if we're lucky, we'll be getting brand spanking new Grey's Anatomy episodes as early as April.

But again, none of this has been confirmed. So if you are easily disappointed, i would suggest accepting this as nothing more than a rumor and be pleasantly surprised when the new episodes appear.

Katherine Heigl is Also Sexy

So in addition to being named the top woman in AskMen.com's top 99 women list, Katherine Heigl was also named (along with husband Josh Kelley) sexiest newlywed in Victoria's Secret's What is Sexy list. Joining her is costar Justin Chambers, who was named as Sexiest Dad. Well, if anyone had any doubt before, this proves it; Grey's Anatomy is one sexy show. Whew! Is it hot in here?

Katherine Heigl is Hot. (Well, duh!)

AskMen.com has recently named Katherine Heigl as no. 1 on their Top 99 Women: 2008 Edition List. Katherine beats out other stunners such as Alessandra Ambrosio (no. 2), Kate Beckinsale (no. 3), Eva Mendes (no. 4) and Jessica Alba (no. 5). You can scroll through the whole list here.

Oh No! Say it Ain't So!

Justin Chambers (known as Dr. Karev on our favorite show) has voluntarily checked himself into an L.A psychiatric ward. As an aspiring psychologist, obviously I'm intrigued. I never really figured out how to translate P.R assistants. His representative claims that he, "was exhausted and suffers from a sleeping disorder." I'm not entirely sure if that's the whole truth. And rumor is, he's staying at the same hospital as Britney Spears! A slightly more selfish version of me wonders what effect this will have on the show, since as it stands now, we really can't afford to lose any more main characters.

But in all sincerity, Get well Justin.
