A new regular comes to Grey’s

Christine — Thu, 12 Jul 2007 02:18:14 +0000

Remember Meredith’s half-sister Lexie (played by Chyler Leigh)? The one who flirted with Derek a little? ABC has confirmed that the character of Lexie has been bumped up to that of series regular. That should be interesting. Maybe we can stop seeing Meredith and Derek mope and snipe at each other and see Meredith trying to figure out a relationship with her half-sister instead.

In semi-related news, Private Practice welcomes KaDee Strickland (The Wedding Bells) as a doctor and hospital administrator who will also be a regular.

Katherine Heigl passes the time with her new toy

Christine — Fri, 06 Jul 2007 17:58:52 +0000

Katherine Heigl managed to pass some time while waiting around on the set of her latest movie, >i>27 Dresses by playing with her new toy, an Apple iPhone. Seems like everyone got one except me (well, they aren’t launched up here in Canada anyway, but I’m still jealous!).

The IMDB listing for the film lists the synopsis as:

After serving as a bridesmaid 27 times, a young woman (Heigl) wrestles with the idea of standing by her sister’s side as her sibling marries the man she’s secretly in love with.

Sounds like she’s getting a lot of romantic comedies when she’s not shooting Grey’s.

Just as McSteamy off the set

Christine — Wed, 04 Jul 2007 20:04:48 +0000

Looks like Dr. McSteamy can get the ladies to drop their clothes even off the set.

Or at least, he can get his wife, Rebecca Gayheart to do it!

(Semi-safe for work, below the cut)

Eric Dane enjoys having some topless boating vacation time with his wife.

Party on!

Isaiah Washington defends himself

Christine — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 21:07:25 +0000

Isaiah Washington is continuing to defend himself, now saying that his homophobic slur wasn’t directly aimed at T.R. Knight. On Larry King, he said:

“I felt sorry for myself,” the 43-year-old actor told Larry King Monday night. “I’m not going to lie. I felt sorry for myself many times. You fall into that little space and go, ‘Why me? Why me?’ “

The interview was filmed last Friday and was the first one he has done since being fired. He said that during his period of obsessing over the altercation with Patrick Dempsey and the infamous slur that he swears wasn’t directed at T.R., he even found himself online, reading everything that was being said.

“Unfortunately, I did what a lot of my peers and friends said you don’t do,” he said, “and that is to go to IMDB [the Internet movie database Web site, imdb.com] or your blogs and read what they are saying about you.”

Supposedly he actually tried to resign from “Grey’s” twice, as though expecting that he would be fired, knowing that something was coming. He also says that he regrets that he was rattled by a reporter at the Golden Globes when he implied that yes he had called T.R. by a homophobic slur.

Katherine Heigl’s new line

Christine — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 16:09:03 +0000

Izzie Stevens is so darn cute in her scrubs with her colorful shirts underneath. I guess that Katherine Heigl is ready to capitalize on that fact since she’s busy working on a line of professional heath care uniforms with Peaches Uniforms. It aims to bring a level of sophistication and style for medical professionals who want to look good while they’re hard at work and four specific pieces are supposed to really reflect Izzie’s style and personality.

If you’re curious, you can see one piece from the line here. the entire line is expected to debut in the late Fall.

While interesting, this is sort of weird, isn’t it? I mean, at least it’s a bit unique and not another perfume or line of jeans, or whatever, but medical uniforms? Okay then!

Katherine sets a wedding date

Christine — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 16:09:02 +0000

Katherine Heigl and her fiancé, Josh Kelley have set an official wedding date, sealing Katherine’s desire for a holiday wedding. They’ll exchange vows on December 23rd, two days before Christmas. Part of the reason this date comes in handy is that Katherine will be on a break from filming Grey’s Anatomy but she also just really wanted to have her wedding at a time when people are already feeling festive and happy.

Izzy and Denny

Christine — Mon, 25 Jun 2007 15:32:05 +0000

Still the saddest moment on Grey’s Anatomy ever. Bust out the tissues.

The entire Izzy-Denny storyline for the last two episodes that season sealed it for me that she is my favorite actress on the show.

Got Sara?

Sara Ramirez looks awesome in her “Got Milk?” campaign.

I love seeing a woman in Hollywood with some real curves.

Kate Walsh limbers up

Christine — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 19:48:13 +0000

In between finishing up with Grey’s Anatomy and starting in on Private Practice, Kate Walsh has been enjoying some down time, including hitting an L.A. gym yesterday to take a yoga class.

It’s nice to see the actors getting in a bit of regular life in between shooting episodes!

Gay activist wants Isaiah back!

Christine — Wed, 20 Jun 2007 19:06:39 +0000

Here’s an interesting development – Jasmyne Cannick, a gay and lesbian rights activist, has launched a petition to re-hire Isaiah Washington, despite being fired for his homophobic slur last year.

Cannick wants him back on the show because of what she calls a disturbing trend of ABC firing minority actors from prominent shows. She also said:

“Isaiah has done more for the gay and lesbian community than T.R. Knight did in or out of the closet. He did what they asked him to do [apologize and star in a PSA], and now they want to make sure he will never work again. At what point is enough enough?”

That was always my big issue with the firing too – he DID apologize, he DID do the PSA, and he DID work with gay and lesbian rights groups. Plus, actor issues aside, I love the character, so I’d love to see Burke back.
