Listen, I know that it’s not news that “Grey’s Anatomy” is an abomination, but that won’t keep me from making fun of its promotion for the next season, which promises Katherine Heigl without hair and Sandra Oh in lingerie. WOOF. I can’t decide whether to laugh at this or try to suppress my gag reflex. I’d rather go back in time and pay ten dollars to watch The Notebook the weekend it opened in theaters than watch an hour of this melodramatic chick-flick bullcrap. I mean, at least The Notebook had Rachel McAdams in espadrilles. Uh, not that I know what espadrilles are. GRRRR FOOTBALL!
Big-time Hollywood star and renowned pleasant person to work with Katherine Heigl will return to Grey’s Anatomy next season, according to someone who cared enough to find out.
Although ABC and ABC Studios won’t officially declare that Katherine Heigl will return for a full season next year, sources close to “Grey’s Anatomy” said today that the actress will return to the medical show for the last year of her contract.
When viewers last saw Izzie, she was enticing her BFF, George (T.R. Knight), to join her in what was presumably the last elevator ride of both their lives since Izzie has terminal cancer and George got hit by a bus. Well, the elevator appears to have saved Izzie, but George, not so much. [L.A. Times]
Not that you or I care, because we don’t, but Knight himself confirmed he won’t be returning to “Grey’s.” So we lose George but keep Izzie. Gosh, this changes everything for me. Now I’ll still not have to watch.
Holy crap. I had no idea that there was a video game version of “Grey’s Anatomy.” However, if I had known it existed, I still wouldn’t have needed to watch this video to guess correctly that it sucks, and sucks HARD. Sucks like Jenna Haze working a vacuum cleaner in a room full of dicks on a spaceship headed toward a black hole. You could give me the choice of playing this game or being hunted by a pack of wild dogs, and I’d have to at least think it over. Say what you will about being torn apart by feral dogs, at least it’s not boring.

Ellen Pompeo, who mopes and pouts her way through “Grey’s Anatomy” as the magnetically sexy Dr. Meredith Grey every week, is pregnant with her first child, People reports. Oh, and in case it wasn’t clear, I was being sarcastic about the “magnetically sexy” thing.
The Grey’s Anatomy star, 39, and [husband Chris] Ivery, 41, a music producer, were married by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a low-key ceremony in November 2007. The couple met in a grocery store in 2003 and began dating six months later.
Pompeo, who’s recently been spotted shopping for baby gear around Los Angeles, is not the only Seattle Grace doctor having a baby in real life: Costar Chyler Leigh and her husband, Nathan West, are expecting her third child, a girl, in May.
Ugh, I could tolerate this kind of news so much better ten years ago, when Ellen Pompeo was called “Calista Flockhart” and the excruciating hour-long chick flick of a TV show that was called “Ally McBeal.” You know, I’m not a woman myself (not until the weekend, anyway), but I think that women might still identify with a female lead even if the character didn’t look anorexic and act all crazy. I’m just spit-balling here. Work with me.
In case you’re not up to speed on “Grey’s Anatomy” news, Katherine Heigl’s endless diva bitching has led to her character Izzy getting a brain tumor that supposedly leaves her only a 5% chance of survival. Meanwhile, T.R. Knight, who plays dough-faced pansy George, asked to be released from his contract last fall, leading to this spoiler from Michael Ausiello:
[Knight's] wish may be granted by an upcoming story line that finds… George marching off to war as an Army medic. Just as the season wraps up, George gets injured in the line of duty, leaving his fate up in the air for viewers — and even Knight himself. “T.R. doesn’t know whether George lives or dies,” explains a source close to the show. “And, as a result, he doesn’t know whether or not he has to come back next season.”
Originally I had this big long paragraph that applied logic to this scenario and broke down all the different ways this is totally retarded and in no way realistic for either Knight’s character or the military, but it was pretty boring and the whole process was like trying to debate a six-year-old. So just take my word for it: I could totally kick a six-year-old’s ass in a debate. Also, “Grey’s Anatomy” BLOWS. I’m dead serious when I say I’d rather live in Fallujah for a month than watch every season of that show on DVD.

It’s a bad time to be an unwanted, out-of-work actor, both Dustin Diamond and Isaiah Washington can attest. Diamond, who played Screech on “Saved by the Bell” before moving on to nothing at all, is being sued his Wisconsin electric company for nonpayment of over $2000 in bills.
Washington, the actor who left “Grey’s Anatomy” in disgrace after calling co-star T.R. Knight a homophobic slur, is allegedly five months ($100,000) behind on rent.
Washington, his wife and kids are still in the house. But the eviction process has begun. Legal papers were filed today. We’re told Washington is probably going to move out shortly anyway … but there’s this thing about the $100,000 …
The crazy thing about Washington is that he can be a deadbeat homophobe and still be more likable than 90% of the cast that’s still on “Grey’s.” As for Diamond, I just wish he’d hurry up with those fries. I ordered the deluxe, jerkoff!
