Chandra Wilson to Guest Star in Private Practice This Week

Ingrid Diaz — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:29:45 +0000

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 the Private Practice cast. She’s bound to shake things up a bit with her tell-it-as-it-is personality. As Paul Adelstein has stated, “Bailey takes us to task. She’s a truth teller, and her writing is truth telling, so she comes in and busts us all down to size pretty good.”

So if you can’t get enough of Bailey (and how could you, really?) make sure to watch Private Practice after Grey’s.

Bonus: Sneak Peek video of the episode is up at E! Online.

Are you looking forward to the crossover?

Ellen Pompeo’s Baby Shower Hosted By Katherine Heigl

Ingrid Diaz — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 10:32:06 +0000

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 in Sherman Oaks, and received gifts such as: a Sleep Sheep toy mobile, Sleepy Safari stacking toys, organic hooded towels and more.

According to an eye witness, “Ellen looked gorgeous in a white summer dress with her hair in a braided up-do. She seemed very excited to celebrate with her girlfriends.”

People also revealed that Ellen Pompeo spent the earlier part of the day hanging out with friend and fellow mother-to-be, Nicole Richie.

It sounds like Ellen had a much-deserved great time with her friends. As seen in the photo, her husband Chris Ivery came by to pick her (and the loads of gifts!) up afterwards.

More Details on Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice Crossovers

Ingrid Diaz — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 09:25:22 +0000

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 the dark abyss wherein Shonda keeps all the stuff she doesn’t yet want us to know.

But, we do know the following regarding her storyline for Private Practice:

Gilmore will be playing a dying woman in need of a kidney transplant. Her sister is the only one that can give her this kidney. After this, her character will head on over to Grey’s to … well, to something.

More details on this when they rain down on us. In the meantime, what do you think of all of these crossovers? Do you think ABC has the right idea? Do you watch Private Practice anyway?

Chandra Wilson to Guest Star in Private Practice

Ingrid Diaz — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 08:34:14 +0000

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 about sharing her opinions about the goings-on at Oceanside.” So we can probably guess that it’s going to be a pretty humorous episode, or at least have a lot of funny moments in it.

Bailey in Oceanside, can’t wait! Hopefully, this means we’ll see the likes of Addison also returning to Seattle Grace at some point, although there’s no indication that this will happen any time soon. All the same, crossovers are usually pretty fun, so I’m looking forward to this one.

What do you think?

Kate Walsh at The Ugly Truth Premiere Red Carpet (Photos)

Ingrid Diaz — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 17:38:25 +0000

I know that Kate Walsh isn’t technically part of Grey’s Anatomy anymore, but she’ll always be a part of Seattle Grace to me. So I was happy to find that she was also in attendance at the premiere of Katherine Heigl’s new movie The Ugly Truth. Beautiful as always, our dear Addison was all smiles for the cameras. The event took place on July 16 at The Pacific’s Cinerama Dome in Hollywood, CA.

I miss Addison on Grey’s. Don’t you?

Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice Sneak Peeks

Ingrid Diaz — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 12:42:29 +0000

E! Online posted a couple of sneak peeks from this week’s Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice. Unfortunately, the Grey’s Anatomy one is pretty much the same one I posted the other day. But if you haven’t seen it yet or wish to see it again in a different video box, I won’t begrudge you the experience. Here you go:

The Private Practice sneak peek doesn’t have any of the Grey’s people in it, but it does have my favorite vengeance demon in the whole wide (TV) world: Anya. Well, not Anya so much as Emma Caulfield. And Addison has some troubling news for her…

(I blame the bunnies).

The conclusion to the Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice crossover is coming up this week, starting at 9/8c on ABC.

Savor it good, my friends, because there’s no new GA until March 12 after that. Grr argh.

Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice Crossover Keeping the Ratings Healthy

Ingrid Diaz — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 11:53:22 +0000

Whether they thought it was awesome or disappointing, it seems people still tuned in to watch the big Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice crossover extravaganza last Thursday.

According to the ratings, our show managed to narrow the ratings gap against its biggest competitor, CSI. Grey’s scored 15.1 million viewers to CSI’s 17.8. And Private Practice hit an all time high among 18-49 -year olds with 14.2 million viewers.

Not bad.

It would seem all the hype and publicity paid off for ABC. Let’s see how many people return for the next part of the crossover.

Grey’s Anatomy Sneak Peek 5.15 ‘Before and After’ – Callie and Addison

Ingrid Diaz — Tue, 10 Feb 2009 18:52:28 +0000

It’s really great to see Addison around the Grey’s Anatomy cast again. She’s hands down the character I miss the most on the show. And sure, sure’s on Private Practice but … it’s not the same!

Ausiello posted a clip from the upcoming episode “Before and After” featuring two of my favorite characters: Callie and Addison.

Those of you interested knowing what’s going on with Callie/Arizona relationship will probably want to watch this!

[The clip can be watched here]

(**Warning Spoilers**)

In the clip, Addison laments the fact that she doesn’t have a relationship with God and that she could really use one right about now (to save her brother). Callie listens and then starts her own prayer, asking God to help her get over the fact that Arizona is a Ped surgeon and has butterflies in her scrub cap and instead focus on what’s really important: that’s she’s hot.

But then she tells Addison something that might help her feel better: “You’re an amazing surgeon. You save babies. God knows who you are.”

I love watching Addison and Callie together, and the way that the scene mixes humor and seriousness.

Only a couple of days left before the big event! Who else is counting the hours?
