It’s no secret that while on-screen the doctors of Seattle Grace are battling with drama, behind the scenes, many of the actors are enjoying motherhood and in Eric Dane’s case, soon-to-be fatherhood. Word from TV Guide reveals that babies are taking over the Grey’s set what with Ellen Pompeo’s 6-week-old Stella and Katherine Heigl’s 1-year-old Naleigh, and Chyler Leigh’s 6-month-old Anniston, not to mention the crew’s babies. So what’s to be done? Build a nursery of course!
Word has it that the Grey’s Anatomy babies will soon have their own nursery on set. For the moment, the trailers are doubling as …read more

So, in case you missed this piece of news from Kristin over at E! Online: Ellen Pompeo will not be missing any episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. All of those worries about what the show would be like without Meredith Grey can now be put to rest. The new mother has been spotted out and about and keeping in shape after giving birth on September 15 to baby girl Stella Luna. So, thanks to the fact that she’s making an earlier-than-expected return to the set and that the actress was willing to pre-shoot some scenes, not a single episode of Grey’s …read more

So everyone was wondering how they were going to hide Ellen’s baby bump during the filming of this season of Grey’s. Were they going to include it in the storyline? How were they going to hide it? Will Meredith disappear for a bit on the show? So far none of the above. They managed to hide Ellen’s bump throughout the entire 2 hour premier!

To be honest, I completely forgot that she was pregnant while I was watching! I was so into the show for every other reason that I forgot to notice that they were hiding it! My cousin had …read more

According to Entertainment Weekly, Katherine Heigl is taking a five episode leave of absense from Grey’s Anatomy, starting almost immediately (past the season premiere) and finishing sometime in November. The reason? A scheduling conflict with the filming of Life As We Know It.
Heigl’s unexpected (or perhaps expected) break from Grey’s potentially overlaps with Ellen Pompeo’s upcoming maternity leave. Which means that for a big chunk of the first half of season 6 we’ll likely be missing both Izzie and Meredith. Expect to see the other doctors at Seattle Grace picking up a lot of extra screen time.
Then again, maybe …read more

Well, it looks like all of the mystery surrounding the stroller-shopping has been answered: Yesterday, Katherine Heigl hosted Ellen Pompeo’s baby shower at her home in Los Angeles. There were twenty-five guests at the party, including Kate Walsh, Sandra Oh and Eric Dane’s wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart. According to PEOPLE, the party was held in the backyard, beneath the merciful shade of umbrellas.
It’s also very likely that the baby – due in October – is going to be a girl, gauging by the vast array of pink-themed gifts. Pompeo registered for gifts at the Juvenile Shop …read more

Katherine Heigl and husband Josh Kelley were spotted in West Hollywood over the weekend shopping for a baby stroller at Bel Bambini. The happy couple was then spotted shopping for pastel-colored carpeting. All of this has raised a few eyebrows, leading people to wonder whether Katherine Heigl will be next in line for a maternity leave.
But it would seem a tad early for stroller shopping. Perhaps they’re shopping for gifts for Ellen Pompeo? Or maybe someone else entirely.

Things are good for us spoiler fans these days. As the Grey’s Anatomy season 6 premiere draws closer, more and more spoilers are escaping from Shonda Rhimes’ super duper strong safe. And that means that we get more details to look forward to, or to, at least, anticipate.
If you’re allergic to spoiler dust, look away, my friends.
The latest spoilers have to do with Meredith and Derek. It seems fans have been speculating about what will happen with the couple next season and how Ellen Pompeo’s real-life pregnancy will impact the storylines on the show. Some people have gone as far …read more

The rumor mill is spinning wildly lately with news that Ellen Pompeo will be giving birth to a baby girl. She was spotted by questionable sources at a maternity store looking at the pink clothes. But nothing has been confirmed in this regard.
What we do know, is that she remains both pregnant and beautiful, and seems to really enjoy strolling through Los Angeles with a cell phone and some coffee. It remains to be seen how Shonda Rhimes will hide the pregnancy during the first episodes of Grey’s Anatomy’s season 6. While some viewers were hoping that the pregnancy would …read more

During the 2009 Summer Press Tour, ABC entertainment president Stephen McPherson spoke briefly about Grey’s Anatomy, stating that the show is “evolving” and that Shonda Rhimes “hit her stride” at the end of season five. So far, McPherson and the rest of the ABC suits seem to be “happy” with what they’ve seen of season six, which for us can mean just about anything. But hopefully good things!
In terms of what’s to come next season (avert your eyes if you don’t want to know anything!) he stated that the show would be seeing a few additions to the cast (interns …read more

Ellen Pompeo was spotted out and about, heading toward her management’s offices and keeping herself hydrated. It will be very interesting to see what steps the Grey’s Anatomy crew takes to hide her belly, seeing as she’s very clearly pregnant. I suppose they’ll do the usual thing of shooting her from the chest up and making sure she’s usually sitting or wearing particularly baggy clothing.
Regardless of what they do, I’m sure she’ll still look beautiful on screen and I look forward to seeing what else season six brings our way.
