I don’t want to see a bunch of, “You should have warned me!” comments. This. Is. A. Spoiler. Here’s a clip of the first five minutes of the season premiere of Grey’s Anatomy. It will air in its entirety on September 24th.
Jump if you want to hear the bad news. I know it made me want to jump. Off a building that is.
First off: My sincere apologies for the crazy downtime this afternoon and for all the problems people were having getting the site to refresh. I think (hope?) we’ve resolved them for the time being, and we’re continuing to look at improvements that will make the site run faster and have less downtime. Thank you for those of you who emailed me to report an issue — I appreciate it, because sometimes everything looks fine on my end but it’s not working fine for everyone, so it’s useful when you guys email me to let me know. It is way better to get those emails than the “OMG U R UGLEE & UR FORHEAD IS HUGE” emails, which are sweet, but not really as actionable. (Is there even a surgery for forehead size? I will email Audrina Patridge about it. If she tracked down a doctor who could fix her ceiling eyes, she is clearly capable of anything. And I’m inexplicably on her blogroll, so she obviously loves me.)
OK. So back to the important business.
I haven’t watched Grey’s Anatomy in years, mostly because when Katherine Heigl is on the screen I just want to slap somebody, and since I live alone I was afraid I would start injuring my cats. So you’d think I’d be delighted to watch this footage of her close to death in the 100th episode — and I guess I am, kinda — but even though she’s dying she’s still annoying as hell. Seriously. This trailer of Izzie dying annoys me. How is anyone on this planet not annoyed with the Izzie character?
Anyway. Yeah. Izzie’s dying, Denny’s ghost is off to jump the shark again usher her to the netherworld, Derek and Meredith are getting married, and the truth is I’m probably never going to watch this show again. Katherine Heigl ruined it for me forever.
I actually kind of hate the word “preggers” but I can’t find a euphemism for pregnancy that I like, so “preggers” it is.
Actress Ellen Pompeo, 39 , of Grey’s Anatomy fame has confirmed that she is expecting her first child with husband Chris Ivery, 41. No details yet on the due date, but she can have fun picking out baby buggies with fellow Grey’s co-star Chyler Leigh, who is due next month.
An Isaiah-free Grey’s returns to ABC in a matter of weeks.
Check out the promos.
Yup, that’s right. Mr. Isaiah Washington just took a fabulous Prada loafer squarely in the ass.
Even though he denied that he’d be leaving Grey’s Anatomy, multiple sources have been loudly confirming that he was on his way out, and with T.R. Knight’s recent announcement that he’ll be returning to the show, the writing was on the wall in bright Shiseido red.
ABC studios stated on Thursday that Washington’s contract was not renewed for the upcoming season of Grey’s.
Isaiah, ever the beacon of good judgment in this otherwise distressing world, released the following statement, with no further explanation:
“I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it anymore.”
That Isaiah, he’s all class.
So if you’re wondering what all that ruckus is in WeHo tonight, it’s fair to assume that T.R. Knight and Kate Heigl are somewhere at its epicenter, appletinis in hand.
LOLOLOLOLOL!!! OMFG! LOL! WTF? lololol rofl….
Excuse the immaturity; I was just trying to fit in with the cast of Grey’s Anatomy for a bit. Katie Heigl’s ContractNegotiationGate continues to spiral further and further away from the “we really are all like a family” party line everyone on that set is being forced to spout.
Just a quick refresher: early on Wednesday, the story broke that Heigl had dropped out of contract negotiations with the Grey’s producers, with a “source” stating that she was “disappointed and hurt that Touchstone doesn’t value her as much as her other co-stars.” By later in the day, Touchstone had released a rebuttal of its own: “We have a long-term contract to ensure she’ll be with the show for several years to come … we recently approached Katherine with an offer to raise her compensation significantly above the terms of her current contract. We were surprised to see this gesture reported negatively in the press.”
So can we be done with this now? No, no we cannot. Heigl struck back yesterday, releasing the following statement: “I am embarrassed that this has become a public matter and disappointed that Touchstone felt it necessary to divulge private employment information. I had hoped I would be able to deal with this issue confidentially with my bosses. I dropped out of the renegotiation simply because I wanted to treat myself with the respect I was not getting from them. No matter how unhappy I am about their decision to respond to this publicly, I continue to be passionate about and committed to this character.”
That’s nice. Stay tuned for next week, when Ellen Pompeo goes on strike because her new contract specifically stated that the vomit bags in her dressing room were to be emptied on the half hour and so can someone please explain to her how it is 12:45 and they’re still sitting there?
If I were E!, I’d be working on this True Hollywood Story already. It’s going to be more interesting than anything on the fictional show. With Isaiah Washington back from gayhab, things had started to settle down at Seattle Grace. That is, until Shonda Rhimes announced last week that Dr. Addison Montgomery (played by Kate Walsh) would be getting her own spin-off show. This didn’t sit well with the gigantic egos on network television’s most volatile set. According to an on-set source, “the rest of the cast seemed instantly resentful of [Walsh]. They each thought they’d be the one chosen to get their own show, and now they’re giving Kate the cold shoulder.†The source added that Ellen Pompeo “seemed particularly peeved because she felt that, as the star, she should have been consulted.â€
I call bull on that last bit. Why on earth would Ellen Pompeo be consulted on that sort of production decision? I think even Ellen’s underfed brain knows she has no standing in who gets a spin-off. The first part, though, I totally buy.
I imagine these are factors in Katherine Heigl’s decision to drop out of contract negotiations with the show’s producers over a salary dispute. “Katie is disappointed and hurt that Touchstone doesn’t value her as much as her other co-stars, especially Sandra Oh and Isaiah Washington,†says a source. Katie’s been pissed with the producers for a long time, as she felt Isaiah wasn’t punished harshly enough for his behavior toward her BFF T.R. Knight, and, with latecomer Kate Walsh chosen for a spin-off over her, she’s probably just fuming. Plus, she knows the show can’t lose its two hottest chicks at the same time. That, my friends, would be some serious shark-jumping.
