Whether or not you’re planning to run to the theaters to see The Ugly Truth, seeing pictures of Katherine Heigl smiling are always fun (at least for me). So enjoy them! Oh, and as a bonus there’s one of Justin Chambers.

Anyone else really excited about the film?

Thanks, Arieanna!

Not a bad way to spend a vacation, I’d say! Not sure how long they were there, but from the photos it looks like they had a blast. Hopefully that means we’ll have a well-rested Alex at the start of season six.

Enjoy the photos!

It’s no spoiler that Izzie is sick. We’ve known this for a while and the show has been building up her illness over the past few months. We know that the possibility stands that Izzie might die at the end of it all as a means of letting Katherine Heigl out of the contract.

We don’t know if she dies though, and no one else seems to know either. But here’s a few related spoilers…

Ready?

Set?

**SPOILERS**

If you follow the spoilers, then you know that Izzie has cancer. And according to people that know more about medicine than I do, the prognosis isn’t good. What all the symptoms seem to add up to is that Izzie is suffering from malignant melanoma with brain mestasis. And this isn’t good news.

Medically speaking, it sounds like it’s goodbye to Izzie. But since this is a TV show and medical miracles do happen even outside of it, there’s always the chance that Izzie will make it out okay.

Justin Chambers told E! Online that he has no idea if Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight are leaving. I’m not sure he’d tell us even if he knew. But regardless, his character is likely to see a lot of Emmy-nomination-worthy action in the upcoming episodes as Alex deals with Izzie’s illness.

In related spoiler news: It’s very likely that we’re going to get to meet Izzie’s mom in the second-to-last episode of the season. The show is currently casting for a “‘heartwarming’ trailer-trash woman in her mid-to-late 40s” and they only want stars for the role. There’s no confirmation that this woman will be Izzie’s mom, but it seems very likely given the information available.

So, to sum it all up: Izzie may or may not die, but it sounds like we should start stocking up with Kleenex either way, and we’re in for a really emotional rollercoaster as the season wraps up.

According to Kristin from E! Online, who ran into Katherine Heigl at the Peter Alexander boutique opening, the actress is happy with these season’s storylines. She (and by ’she’ I mean Kristin) also puts to rest any pesky rumors that Izzie might be killed off at the end of the season. Heigl told Kristin:

“There’s nothing I can reveal, but it’s been awesome. It’s been really exciting for me and really, really fun, satisfying work. I love Justin [Chambers]! How can you not love Justin? Sorry. He is just such a doll. I mean it’s weird, I’ve been working with all of these people for five years. They’re like my family. I mean, I see them actually more than my own family! We have so much fun together.”

Also it sounds like Izzie and Alex will be heating up the bedroom one of these days. So all of you Izzie/Alex ’shippers can bounce happily and excitedly in your chairs.

And… SPOILER ALERT:

Meanwhile, Kristin has a bit more on the whole Meredith/Sadie did-they-or-didn’t-they story. And according to Kristin, they did. I’m not sure what they did exactly, but they did it. She also mentions that this storyline is pretty much the same one that was rumored to be for Cristina quite a while ago but that got trashed after it got leaked.

I’d mentioned that Ellen Pompeo and Justin Chambers would be attending a fundraiser sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council of the Democratic Committe (GLLC) in Seattle, Washingon this past weekend to support Senator Obama’s campaign. I couldn’t be there unfortunately, but Grey’s Anatomy News reader Karen did get to go and she was gracious enough to send in her first person account to share with us here. Thanks, Karen!!

Her story, after the jump.

I made it to the Obama fundraiser with Ellen Pompeo and Justin Chambers at the Greg Kucera Gallery in Seattle’s Pioneer Square on Saturday. It’s a beautiful space, and we were all trying not to knock over the horse sculptures that are part of the current show. Attendees were mostly GLBT Obama supporters from the local community, many of whom are active in foundations or the Democratic Party, or are Grey’s Anatomy fans of course. I was glad to see Seattle City Council member Sally Clark (an out lesbian) in the crowd.

After some speeches and introductions of people involved in the campaign, Ellen and Justin each gave a short, heart felt speech about why they support Senator Obama. I’ll paraphrase here, but basically Ellen talked about being the grandchild of Italian immigrants and wanting to bring our country back to the ideals that made them want to come here. She acknowledged some people’s discomfort with actors speaking out on behalf of candidates and political causes, but told us that after having educated herself about Obama, she wanted to show her support for him. She also talked about how happy she was that her two gay uncles can finally get legally married in Massachusetts after having been together for so many years.

Justin spoke about being the father of five children and his concern for the world both now and in his children’s future. A shorter speech but no less effective.

They both mingled with the crowd, chatting, shaking hands and posing for pictures. (I realized later that Justin’s wife took one of us with my camera.) They both looked great and seemed very earnest, sweet and a little shy.

What I wish I’d said (but didn’t because I’m a little shy) is that Justin’s character has really grown on me, in part because of the way his story has developed over time, but also because he does such a nice job with his part. I really look forward to the next season of the show, because of the storytelling and the wonderful, diverse cast of characters, including so many people of color, interracial couples and families and now maybe two women falling in love.

Thanks to everyone who helped put this together.

I mentioned this the other day, but in case you missed it, or maybe forgot: both Ellen Pompeo and Justin Chambers will be in Seattle, Washington this weekend to attend a fundraiser for the Barack Obama campaign. Sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Leadership Counsil of the Democratic Committee, this event will take place on Saturday, August 16th from 5:30pm to 7pm.

Admissions are open and will set you back $250. It’s not too late to R.S.V.P for a chance to mingle with the Grey’s Anatomy stars and support Obama (should he be your candidate of choice). For more information, you can call 206-420-3160 or email Michael Gilmore at GilmoreM@dnc.org.

To R.S.V.P. visit goto.seattlepi.com/r1589 and type “HRC” in the “Additional Information” box.

If anyone attends, I’d love to hear back about how it went!

We already know that Kate Walsh is a big Obama supporter, and Ellen Pompeo and Justin Chambers are stepping out to show their own support for the presidential candidate. The good news for both Obama and Grey’s Anatomy fans is that you’re also invited.

The Gay and Lesbian Leadership Council of the Democratic National Committee cordially invites you to a night of cocktails, hors d’oeuvres and political chatter with Ellen Pompeo and Justin Chambers. Proceeds go toward benefiting the Obama Victory Fund.

The event will be held in Seattle, Washington on August 16^th. If you think you’ve got a shot at making it, head on over here to get all of the details. While tickets to an event like this are not in the single digits or even double digits, you might find something within a reasonable price range. It might be worth it if you’re  a huge supporter of both Obama and the show.

Have fun!
