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.
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.

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.
