Bad news, guys.  I don’t think Izzie is dead.  A source close to negotiations of the Grey’s Anatomy cast confirms that T.R. Knight is definitely a goner, but Katherine Heigl got a bunch of money thrown at her to stay.  Want to take a collection so we can throw a bunch of money at her to leave? 

I think I watched one season of Grey’s and couldn’t tolerate any more.  If I remember correctly, Izzie was performing all sorts of unorthodox and life-saving procedures on Denny — the dead dude she’s been chatting up this past season courtesty of a brain tumor – and I had to stop watching.  I would torture my husband, asking questions like, “Is that proper hospital protocol?  She didn’t wash her hands, couldn’t that kill him?  Would a bunch of doctors just stand around and watch her kill her fiance?  Is there anyone on staff that Izzie hasn’t schtupped?  If I agree to have another kid, will you promise me that we never have this show on our television again?”  I don’t know if I have any of those facts right, but that’s how acid-induced the show appeared to me at the time.  And we have a two-year-old — I’m a woman of my word.

So, to all you rabid Grey’s fans, are you just so excited that Izzie is alive?  Who is she going to sleep with on this upcoming season?

Dr. Isobel Stevens is FINALLY DEAD!!!

If I’d known for sure she was gonna die, I would have hosted a viewing party. We would have played a drinking game. It would have gone like this: If Izzie dies, you have to chug a fifth of vodka and then puke all over the screen during her funeral. Screaming “HAVE FUN MAKING SAD WHINY FACES AT THE DEVIL, IZZIE!” would have been optional.

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.

Grey’s Anatomy cast member, James Pickens Jr.,  has announced that Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight are leaving the show.  Seriously, I don’t possess the blogger hate that seems so prevalent for Katherine Heigl, but it will be a nice reprieve to not have to listen to her constant bitching and complaining about the show that made her famous.  I just want to say “Listen, Katie, you were a nobody before Grey’s.  So suck it up, fuck your dead fiance and cash your paycheck.”  I don’t think there is any doubt that her character, Izzie, will be killed off in a tragic and final way.  Of course, dead never means dead on Grey’s.  Yeah, I don’t watch this suck ass show but even I know about Denny.

Knight, the much less hated departing doctor, is leaving to pursue other interests and will probably be written out in some open-ended way to allow for his return.

Linking you guys to my sister site, Film.com, where Laremy has done a very hilarious play-by-play of the whole show. It’s here.

See?

Way easier than writing it myself.

Also way easier than getting Katherine Heigl into those pants, I think.

Katherine Heigl celebrates Kate Walsh’s divorce by getting obnoxious with hubby Josh Kelley on the red carpet for Marley & Me’s premiere.

They chow down on McDonalds after leaving a fancy party.

Here’s Katherine Heigl enjoying a Big Mac in a dress that probably costs as much as an entire McDonalds franchise.
