No, that’s not a picture of his fiancee — “recent culinary school graduate” Nicole Jaracz (I guess if you’re gonna marry Drew Carey you gotta know how to cook) — but it is a photo of Drew and none other than Kate Walsh! These photos are from 1998, when she accompanied him to the premiere of Godzilla. Craziness, right?

I couldn’t find a pic of Nicole, but Drew proposed October 9. This will be the first marriage for both.

Things are going just splendidly for Drew and Kate these days! Drew has a new fiancee, and a starring gig on The Price is Right, and Kate has a new husband and a starring gig on her very own prime-time show.

Maybe I should dye my hair red …

No, not to each other.

Kate Walsh married that film exec at Fox who she got engaged to five minutes ago after the two dated for ten minutes. I give this marriage a few months. The two got hitched in Ojai, with Katherine Heigl, T.R. Knight, Chandra Wilson, James Pickens Jr., Justin Chambers and Shonda Rhimes in attendance. If you can believe it, Isaiah Washington missed the festivities.

Giuliana DePandi got hitched to Bill Rancic, the first winner of The Apprentice. The two got engaged late last year, much to my chagrin. The wedding took place on the Italian island of Capri, with about 200 friends and family present.

Kate Walsh is one busy lady.

The newly engaged Walsh was spotted filming Private Practice, her Grey’s Anatomy spin-off, with hottie co-star Taye Diggs in Malibu yesterday.

The two-hour “premiere” of Private Practice — during a special two-hour episode of Grey’s — did well for ABC, so it looks like they’re moving full speed ahead with the series.

I wonder if Ellen Pompeo is pissed. Ellen gets her own series, then gets engaged. Now Kate gets engaged and gets her own series.

If anything, Katherine Heigl must be fuming.

I suppose they look a lot better these days than they did when they first showed up.

Still, though …

Anyway, Kate, 39, just got engaged to Alex Young, a studio exec at Fox. The two have been dating a whole entire month.

Additionally, Kate’s Grey’s spinoff, now titled Private Practice, got picked up for a full season on ABC. It’s a good week to be Kate Walsh.

It was just back in March that Kate was quoted as saying, “Sometimes I feel like, ‘What am I doing? Am I becoming my character, or is my character becoming me?’ I’m starting to get a little superstitious here. I definitely identify with my character in that, romantically at least, this is not where I thought I’d be at 39.”

What a difference a couple months makes …

Anyone want to start a pool on her DUI?

ABC killed once again, maintaining its Grey’s viewership even with the two-hour, you-can-tell-which-city-we’re-in-because-of-the-color-palette, Addison-Montgomery-may-not-be-able-to-have-a-baby-but-that- bitch-can’t-go-five-minutes-without-another-gorgeous-doctor-
making-out-with-her-and-I-still-don’t-have-a-boyfriend-so-fuck -that-shit, Taye-Diggs-is-still-hot, everyone-in-LA-surfs-and-drinks-martinis, spinoff-introducing juggernaut. So it turns out you guys really do have all the attention span Chandra Rimes was betting on you having. Way to go, America.

What did everyone think of Grey’s last night? It was interesting, I thought, to watch actors essentially filming a pilot juxtaposed against actors who’ve been working together on a hit series for year. Pilots are always awkward, I guess, but switching back and forth made the awkwardness all the more obvious. I do love the Addison Mongomery character, even when I’m insanely jealous of her, and I love that they’ve given her such increasing depth since the day she showed up as McDreamy’s evil wife. I almost like her more than Meredith these days.

Okay, did her bangs think they were getting their own spin-off, too?

I mean, unless she has some sort of inexplicable, totally untreatable fucking growth on her forehead this week, there is no fucking excuse for this haircut. It looks ridiculous and it makes her look about 10 years older. I don’t get it, Kate. You used to be such a pretty girl.

Update: You know, I should add that both T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl made appearances at this GLAAD event. But I went through all the photos and couldn’t find a single one of Isaiah Washington. Curious.

Slowest. News week. Ever. So, celeb gossip bloggers have taken to their favorite slow-news-week activity: posting outtakes and best-takes from celeb photo shoots. Check out some of my favorites, and pray that someone finally snaps that pic of Paris Hilton doing what she does best in the bathroom at Hyde next week.
