For those of you that don’t make a habit of tuning into Private Practice each and every week, here’s a reminder to watch it this week: Chandra Wilson is guest starring! All that crossover fun we’d been hearing about over the summer begins this week on Private Practice when the loveable Bailey heads on over to Los Angeles. The reasons are purely professional, as Bailey is feeling “overprotective of a patient” who needs a procedure that can only be done in L.A.
No doubt this means that we’ll be seeing a lot of fun interactions between Bailey and the rest of …read more

If you’ve been waiting patiently (or impatiently) for some news and spoilers beyond the usual who’s coming and going, good news: Ausiello posted a nice chunk of spoilers pertaining to Cristina/Owen, Mark/Lexie and Derek-sans-Mer.
So if spoilers cause you any unpleasantness, irritation or itchiness, it’s time to move on to something else (or consult a doctor).
Ready?
Let’s start with Cristina and Owen. What of them? Will they finally get their happily ever after? Maybe! But not yet. Not yet at all. In fact, things between these two are slowing down even further. Instead of running towards each other in slow motion in …read more

In an effort to get more people to watch both Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice, ABC and Shondaland are planning some crossovers between the two shows. They’re banking that if they give us some connected storylines we’ll undoubtedly tune in. Already, we know that Chandra Wilson will be leaping over to Private Practice for a crossover episode.
Now the L.A. Times tells us that Alexie Gilmore (World’s Greatest Dad) is shooting an episode of Private Practice that will eventually send her over to Grey’s Anatomy. Details as to what will be involved in the Grey’s side of things remains hidden in …read more

Shonda Rhimes seems intent on keeping the Grey’s Anatomy cast connected to the world of Private Practice. Last season we saw several episodes in which both casts shared a common storyline, bringing both shows together as one. Now, according to Exec Producer/Creator Shonda Rhimes, in the next season of Private Practice, Bailey (Chandra Wilson), will be heading over to Oceanside to help Addison (Kate Walsh) with “a very interesting” medical procedure.
The crossover will occur during the third episode of Private Practice so be sure to tune in. It’s been revealed that per her nature Baily will “not be shy …read more

Well, the 2009 Emmy nominations are in, and I’m sad to say that Grey’s Anatomy failed to score a nominiation in the major categories. Those being: Best Drama, Best Actor, Best Actress. It wasn’t shut out entirely, of course, though I’m still disappointed. Particularly by the fact that Katherine Heigl got left out. That said, it’s always nice to see Chandra Wilson and Sandra Oh getting recognized, but I feel like this year it should’ve gone to Heigl. Also, what’s with the guys getting left out all the time? Justin Chambers was amazing this season.
I’ve gone through the full PDF …read more

The latest Ausiello TV doesn’t have much in the way of spoilers for season six, but it does have a really exciting piece of news: Chandra Wilson will be stepping behind the camera to direct an episode of Grey’s next season.
Which episode? No idea yet, and it doesn’t sound like all the details have been finalized.
All the same, this is pretty exciting. She’ll be the first of the series’ regulars to put on the director’s hat. So let’s hope it all goes wonderfully (and why wouldn’t it?) and that she gets to direct more in the future.
It’s unclear whether she’ll …read more

I reported not that long ago that Chandra Wilson would be returning to the Broadway stage to take on the role of Matron Mama Morton in the hit musical Chicago. Well, the time has come! And fellow co-stars Sara Ramirez, James Pickens Jr. and T.R. Knight were in the audience on Monday to cheer her on. T.R. Knight brought boyfriend Mark Cornelsen along to the performance.
Speaking of the performance, it sounds like she did an outstanding job, though the actress herself seems mostly relieved that she got through it without messing up! “My 10-year-old daughter [Joy] said, ‘Mom just don’t …read more

Chandra Wilson didn’t manage to avoid the cameras during her lunch break on the set of Grey’s. She also made herself quite comfy! Love those slippers! These photos were taken during the filming of the wedding episode in downtown Los Angeles. With the cast and crew out and about in the fresh air, it was photo ops all around.

She’s so adorable!

Chandra Wilson took time out of her busy schedule to sign autographs for excited fans. She’d just finished her taping of an interview with Jimmy Kimmel (which aired on March 17). These photos were taken outside the El Capitan Theater in West Hollywood, CA.
I’m still trying to track down a video of the interview. I’ll update when I find it (send it my way if you find it before me!) In the meantime, enjoy the photos. She looks so elegant!
