Katherine Heigl: TV Guide News

Episode Recap: The Becoming | Grey's Anatomy | 5/9/2008
“It was not a good day,” according to Dr. Wyatt (Amy Madigan), but I’m inclined to disagree. While Meredith may be fooling herself into thinking she can accept that “Derek is with Rose,” Derek clearly got a dose of reality when he slept with Rose and found himself only thinking about Meredith. Cleary these two are meant to be together, but I have to admit, the longing and anticipation is driving me crazy! In truth though, the angst also creates some of my favorite... read more
Episode Recap: Piece of My Heart | Grey's Anatomy | 5/2/2008
“Reunited and it feels so good!” Yes, it was almost like old times when Addison showed up tonight. If she hadn’t had to spend so much time “catching up” on all of the soapy Seattle Grace details, it might have felt like she had never left. And I almost allowed myself to be tricked into thinking she might return to Washington when the Chief suggested he could start her paperwork (despite knowing that Private Practice is fully expected to return in the fall). So, I... read more

Our series of Grey's refreshers continues with a look at the highly controversial pairing of George and Izzie.The Couple: George (T.R. Knight) and Izzie (Katherine Heigl)Where They Were: From the beginning of the show, George and Izzie have always been there for each other, especially when an STD (the syph) or LVAD wire-cutting was involved. The real test in their friendship came after George's dad died. George was so messed up that he flew to Vegas to marry Callie, again proving he isn't the... read more
Katherine Heigl Leaving Grey's? Find Out Now! | Ausiello Report | 3/5/2008
Maybe it's the show's impending post-strike return. Maybe it's the success of that mediocre movie with the dresses. Or maybe it's that recent National Enquirer story. Whatever the reason, rumors that Katherine Heigl's Grey's days are numbered have staged a Hillary-type resurgence this week. But does the prattle have any basis in reality? A well-placed Seattle Grace insider, who, it should be noted, has never steered me wrong before, insists that Heigl remains "under contract" and adds that... read more
Grey's Star Heigl's Car Robbed, Valuables Left Behind | Today's News: Our Take | 2/6/2008

Izzie Stevens Makes Temperatures Rise the Most | Today's News: Our Take | 2/1/2008
Katherine Heigl is the most McDesirable, according to an AskMen.com survey that named the Grey's Anatomy star the "most desirable woman of 2008." Participants in the poll found that Heigl best embodies the traits they want in a girlfriend/wife: intelligence, humor, charisma and ambition. A woman's looks per se were not among the criteria, but with models Alessandra Ambrosio (at No. 2), Marisa Miller (No. 9) and Adriana Lima (No. 10) cracking the top 10, you can bet it was a factor.Rounding out... read more
Movie News: Heigl-Butler, a New Nightmare and More | Today's News: Our Take | 1/30/2008
Katherine Heigl and Gerard Butler (300) will costar in The Ugly Truth, a romantic comedy about a chauvinistic TV correspondent who enlists his producer to prove his theories about relationships.... One, two, Freddy is coming back for you!

Episode Recap: "Lay Your Hands on Me" | Grey's Anatomy | 1/11/2008
After a long absence, Grey's Anatomy returned tonight with what could be the last glimpse we have at Seattle Grace for a while...and they did not disappoint. In a change from the norm, Bailey talked us through tonight's episode and from the moment she stated, "God created man and it's been downhill ever since," we knew that it was going to be a night unlike any other.Derek and Mark started things off by taking what looked like a light-hearted nature walk through the woods. Their travels... read more
Katherine Heigl a Gushing Bride at 27 Dresses Premiere | Party Central: The Latest Buzz from Your Favorite Stars | 1/8/2008
Katherine Heigl was beaming as she walked the red carpet Monday night for the premiere of her new feature comedy, 27 Dresses (in theaters Jan. 18). Also on hand for the first look were Grey's Anatomy cast mates Ellen Pompeo and T.R. Knight, as well as 27 "bridesmaids" in white dresses bearing info for the film.

Heigl's Dresses Fitted for Later Release Date | Today's News: Our Take | 1/4/2008
Fox has bumped the opening of the Katherine Heigl/James Marsden rom-com 27 Dresses from Jan. 11 to Jan. 18 (the first day of the MLK Jr holiday weekend), not because there is any problem with it but rather because sneak-preview showings have been so encouraging, as the studio explains. In addition, the new date makes it the obvious choice for filmgoers disinterested in the sci-fi thriller Cloverfield, the only other pic opening that weekend. So if 27 Dresses is as big a hit as they are... read more

Katherine Heigl: I Won't Cross Picket Line for Globes | Today's News: Our Take | 12/13/2007
At least one of this year's freshly minted Golden Globe nominees might be a no-show for the big event. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight from a Wednesday WGA picket line, Grey's Anatomy's Katherine Heigl — since nommed for best supporting actress in a TV series — said of the Jan. 13 Globescast, "I'm not crossing the picket line [to attend an awards show] unless I'm contractually obliged to do so. And I'm not [obligated] with the Golden Globes."Globes photo gallery:• Tina Fey,... read more

"Crank That Kosha Boy"Just when we thought the Soulja Boy parodies had finally come to an end, we stumbled across this little gem. In honor of the close of the 2007 Hanukkah season, we give you "Crank That Kosha Boy."

It's Good to Be Scared | Grey's Anatomy | 12/7/2007
Episode Recap: Crash Into Me (Part Two) December 6, 2007What a night! Mer finally tells Derek that she doesn't want him to date other people and he goes and locks lips with Rose at the hospital! Shonda couldn't have planned that cliffhanger any better herself, because tonight's episode marks the last new episode available this month. All I can say is, I really hope that Derek doesn't choose Rose over Meredith. It's true, Mer was slow to open up to him, but how can he walk away from her now?... read more
Grey's Star Heigl: Gizzie Was "a Ratings Ploy" | Today's News: Our Take | 12/3/2007
Maybe T.R. won't want to buy that tux just yet. In a deliciously candid interview with Vanity Fair, Katherine Heigl admits that, like many a Grey's Anatomy fan, she has scratched her head over the Izzie-George romance. "That was kind of a big change for Izzie, wasn't it, after she was so up on her moral high ground," muses the actress. "They really hurt [Callie], and they didn't seem to be taking a lot of responsibility for it. I have a really hard time with that kind of thing."So why even go... read more
T.R. Knight Is Readying for a Wedding | Today's News: Our Take | 12/3/2007
Grey's Anatomy's George and Izzie may be at an impasse when it comes to their relationship, but in real life their portrayers soon will be walking down the aisle. When Katherine Heigl marries fiancé Josh Kelley, cast mate and best friend T.R. Knight will be standing up for the duo. On Sunday at the Trevor Project's 10th-annual Cracked Xmas event, Knight told reporters he'll be in Heigl's wedding party. "It's nice to be invited and be witness to it," he said of the nuptials. Though Knight... read more
Loose Ends | Grey's Anatomy | 11/23/2007
Hi, everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying some time off this week... ABC treated us to a brand new episode of Grey's Anatomy last night and I still need to catch up on the latest drama at Seattle Grace. So, feel free to post your thoughts here and I'll be sure to write up a full recap soon.Episode Recap: Crash Into You (Part One)Sorry for the delay, everyone! I wish I could have watched this episode sooner, but better late than never. So, let's get to recapping... Watching Cristina "dance... read more
Just Like Old Times | Grey's Anatomy | 11/16/2007
Episode Recap: "Forever Young" (November 15, 2007)Tonight, Bailey took charge and let the residents know there was a new boss in town, but she soon lost her drive when an old crush, Marcus (D.B. Woodside), appeared in the ER. So, while I was excited to see the old Bailey laying down the law early on, I was equally disappointed to see her turn to mush for a guy who obviously used her all throughout high school. And so we had our theme for the night---Seattle Grace is just like high... read more
The Chief Gets a New Girlfriend | Grey's Anatomy | 11/9/2007
Episode Recap: "Physical Attraction...Chemical Reaction" (November 8th, 2007)"Chemistry. Either you've got it, or you don't." And tonight, Gizzie fizzled! I thought it would bring me happiness to see this pairing finally come to an end, but it left me kind of sad instead. Here were two people who went to great lengths to be together, only to find that the thrill was gone, once the moment of truth came. And in the wake of all that drama, a marriage was destroyed and reputations have been... read more
A Gentleman's Evening | Grey's Anatomy | 11/2/2007
Episode Recap: "Kung Fu Fighting" (November 1st, 2007)Well, tonight wasn't exactly the evening I had anticipated at Seattle Grace, but it was still a fun night. The highlight of which, was every scene shared by Derek and Mark, as they tried to decipher what the Chief meant by "a gentleman's evening." It did sound dirty and with three eligible bachelors in attendance, it certainly had the potential to involve tassels. So, I can't help but wonder how it might have ended up, if Dr. Hahn had not... read more
Ask Matt | 11/2/2007
While I agree with your unrelenting support of Friday Night Lights, I do have to disagree with your decision to single Minka Kelly out as the "weak link" in the cast. It seems like it's become a trend to single out actresses (oddly more so than actors) who are cast in unpopular storylines or as unpopular characters. I don't love Minka's storylines on FNL as much as I do some of the others, but I find that her performance in that unpopular role meets the high standard of the other young actors... read more
We Made It Through This Day | Grey's Anatomy | 10/26/2007
Episode Recap: "Haunt You Everyday"Why should Izzie direct all of her questions to Bailey now? "Because she’s been sleeping with my husband," Callie announced, in that oh-so-matter-of-fact tone that bubbled up unexpectedly. And just like that, this episode was off and running!So, tonight was Halloween, and as we all know, freaky things tend to happen on this holiday — and weird happenings were not in short supply at Seattle Grace. First, there was the guy who sliced off his finger... read more
Ask Matt | 10/22/2007
The thing that really annoys me about Private Practice is that every actor is well known already. In fact, many of them have already been leading men or leading ladies on their own TV shows! There won't be any surprise breakout stars with this series, like there were on Grey's Anatomy. Had anyone even heard of Ellen Pompeo, T.R. Knight, Chandra Wilson or Katherine Heigl before that show's first season? It's like we're watching a veteran actor's workshop or something with Private Practice, and... read more
Forgive and Forget | Grey's Anatomy | 10/19/2007
Episode Recap: "The Heart of the Matter""I forgive you." Did I hear that right? Callie, calmly telling George that he made a mistake by sleeping with Izzie, but that she was willing to forgive him because of their wedding vows? Thank god she changed her mind by the end of the episode, because I'm not sure I could have forgiven Callie for letting Gizzie off the hook so easily! Not after everything we've been through in this whole messy love triangle! Though something tells me we won't have... read more
Ask FlickChick: Top 14 Movie Misquotes, Whose Scream Is That and More | Ask FlickChick | 10/17/2007
Ask FlickChick: Top 14 Movie Misquotes, the Scream That Will Not Die and More...Question: I don't want to sound like a complete geek, but it bugs me when people misquote famous movie lines like "Luke, I am your father," which just isn't what Darth Vader said. I feel that if you're fan enough to quote a movie, you should be fan enough to quote it right. Please tell me I'm not the most compulsive person ever. — DonFlickChick: The most compulsive ever? No way — I basically agree. If... read more
Episode Recap: "Let the Truth Sting" | Grey's Anatomy | 10/12/2007
When the episode opened with Alex and Lexie checking each other out in the elevator, I thought we were going to see the two of them getting cozy tonight. That was so not the case. Instead, Alex got tied down with the "old intern," Dr. Norman Shales (Edward Herrmann), who meant well but managed to get in the way more than he helped. Sticking with the "old dog, new tricks" theme, Dr. Sloan and Dr. Webber decided to take their chances with a radical procedure in order to prove that they still had... read more
Know When to Walk Away | Grey's Anatomy | 10/5/2007
Episode Recap: "Love/Addiction"Disbelief. That's how I would describe my reaction (and the look on Izzie's face), during the first five minutes of tonight's episode. George loves Izzie, that's all there is to it, and now he can't wait to share the news with Callie! It's almost unbelievable. Especially considering the lengths George went to prior to tonight just to avoid Izzie and any related talk about their recent indiscretion. Now it's almost like he can't wait to shout it out to the world!... read more
Adjust Your Expectations | Grey's Anatomy | 9/28/2007
Episode Recap: "A Change is Gonna Come"Watching the season premiere tonight was like welcoming an old friend back into your home. It was so easy to slip back into Grey's world and get caught up in all of the amazing moments that make this show so much fun to watch. And while I expected the night to start off on a somber note (by addressing the Cristina/Burke fallout), I was pleasantly surprised by the way the attendees paid tribute to Bailey, by giving their new interns the same exact first-day... read more
When Emmy Winners Attack! | The Joy of Sets | 9/26/2007
OK, first off, how freakin’ hilarious was The Bachelor Monday night? Holy human desperation, I loved it! And Hillary from my hometown made the first cut. Represent, Philly ‘ho!Now that we have that out of the way, let’s talk last week’s Emmys. Yes, the in-the-round stage was a hot circular mess and why so many statues went to TV-movies, I’ll never know. It’s not like any of the good Sci Fi Originals get nominated. Hello, Mansquito? So robbed. But Seacrest... read more
Justice League Recasts Supe and Bat, More Movie News | Today's News: Our Take | 9/21/2007
Happy Feet helmer George Miller's big-screen adaptation of the Justice League of America comic books will feature Wonder Woman, Aquaman, the Flash, Green Lantern and Martian Manhunter, as well as two familiar yet "new" faces. With Christian Bale and Brandon Routh engaged in new entries in the Batman and Superman franchises, JLA is expected to cast other actors, likely unknowns, in the key roles.... Also per the Reporter, Brad Pitt is in talks to play the brother/trainer of Mark Wahlberg's... read more
Ask Matt | 9/21/2007
Who are the lucky individuals who get to vote for the Emmy Award winners? Is the Academy composed of actors, or is it critics? Also, is there a rule about the number of consecutive Emmys a person or show can receive? Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like The Amazing Race has won every year for best reality show since that category has been in existence. Just once I would love to see American Idol win, since it is such a ratings powerhouse. What characteristics of a show or an actor's ... read more
Heigl: Mom Said Sopranos Would Snuff Me at Emmys | Today's News: Our Take | 9/18/2007
As indicated in her Sunday-night acceptance speech, Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl's own mother didn't think she'd walk away with a win in the Supporting Actress in a Drama Series race. Rather, Mom had either of the two Sopranos nominees to get the nod. Pops wasn't much more positive. As Heigl said calling into Tuesday's Ellen, "Even my dad was like in shock and said, 'I really didn't think you'd win.' Nobody thought I was going to win." All of which made it extra sweet when her name was... read more
Emmys: Bravo to Winners, Boo to Show | Roush Dispatch | 9/17/2007
And some people worried that getting Ryan Seacrest to host this year’s Emmy telecast was going to be the producers’ worst idea. That’s before we got a look at the set, an unwieldy and unappealing theater-in-the-round setup that looked more suitable for the new American Gladiators revival than for an awards show. The nominees, half of whom saw only the backs of the various presenters and performers, had a deer-in-the-headlights look every time Seacrest approached them or the... read more

Grey's T.R. Has "Nothing to Say" as "Anniversary" Nears | Today's News: Our Take | 9/6/2007
Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, T.R. Knight sought to put to rest, once and for all, the controversy which has consumed the Grey's Anatomy set for nearly a year and led him out of the closet. Though Isaiah Washington has used multiple forums to offer his take on the October 2006 on-set scrape, Knight says, "I have nothing, absolutely nothing to say about it. With all due respect, I haven't said much at all, but I have said some, and I don't need to say more.... 'Cause it's August of '07....... read more
Private Practice's Kate Walsh Ties the Knot | TV Guide News Report | 9/2/2007

The couple exchanged vows at the Ojai Presbyterian Church before approximately 100 guests including Walsh’s Grey’s Anatomy stars Sara Ramirez, Katherine Heigl, Chandra Wilson and Justin Chambers, as well as actress Kate Beckinsale.Following the ceremony, guests made their way to the Ojai Valley Inn & Spa for a reception... read more

Lights Out at the Emmys | Roush Dispatch | 7/19/2007
Remember how Charlie Brown used to end up on his back every time he went to kick the football after Lucy pulled it away? Well, that was me, in the pre-dawn of Thursday morning at the TV Academy building in North Hollywood, as the first Emmy category (for best drama series) was read aloud. Amid a gaggle of impatient media crews and anxious publicists, I once again felt sucker-punched by the cluelessly inexplicable whims of the Emmy nomination process. (Go here for a list of nominees.)The... read more

Love Notes: Katherine Heigl, M-L Parker and More! | Today's News: Our Take | 6/26/2007
Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl and singer-beau Josh Kelley are planning a Christmas Eve wedding, says the New York Daily News.... As first speculated in May, Weeds lead Mary-Louise Parker and Grey's Anatomy stiff Jeffrey Dean Morgan are no longer a couple. As "Denny" tells People, "It just didn't work out. Wrong time in both our lives".... Andria "Dreamz" Herd, notorious for reneging on an immunity deal on Survivor: Fiji, is being sued by a woman who claims he's her baby's deadbeat dad.... read more

Grey's Boss on "Gizzie," the Dark Finale and Next Fall | Today's News: Our Take | 5/18/2007
In a comprehensive blog entry dissecting Thursday's season finale, Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes heads off viewer laments that happy endings were in short supply for the Seattle Gracers. First explaining that the season gone by was "about most of all... the idea [that] 'having it all' is a myth," Rhimes goes on to say, "I did my level best to burn it all down... to the ground so that we can have a place to build from next season. But next season... oh, next season is all about the fun... read more
May 17, 2007: Didn't We Almost Have It All | Grey's Anatomy | 5/18/2007
I can't decide what I was most surprised about since I thought there were multiple shockers in this season's finale episode. So I will make a list of things that I did not see coming:— I did not expect Burke to call off the wedding. If anyone was going to put a stop to it, I thought it would've been Cristina. Apparently, Burke could tell Cristina just wasn't ready.— I did not expect George to be the only intern that didn't pass the exam. Alex would've been more predictable.— I... read more
Nothing to Sniff At: Lohan Has Maximum Hotness | Today's News: Our Take | 5/15/2007
Lindsay Lohan tops this year's Maxim's "Hot 100" list, with the lad mag proclaiming the rehabbed redhead to be "a huge star in the truest meaning of the word." (Note to self: Consult dictionary.)Rounding out the top 10 are Alba, ScarJo, Xtina, Biel, Heroes' Ali Larter, Eva "My publicist deserves a raise" Mendez, Rihanna, Housewives' Eva Longoria and Fergie (who, after all, is Fergalicious). Grey's' Katherine Heigl came in at No. 14, while One Tree Hiller Sophia Bush is No. 24. read more
May 10, 2007: Testing 1-2-3 | Grey's Anatomy | 5/11/2007
How many of you were sitting there waiting for somebody to ask Addison how L.A. was? Almost the entire hour went by and Sloan finally asked her: "How was L.A.?" Addison replied with, "L.A. was different." And different would be the perfect way to describe the opinions expressed in the comments section last week. I thank you for your honesty, but most importantly, for respecting the opinions of others (including mine). Hey, different strokes for different folks, right? Now, onto this... read more
May 3, 2007: The Other Side of This Life | Grey's Anatomy | 5/4/2007
Raise your hand if you're already hooked. Shonda, you have just sold me on Grey's 2.0, or what you are currently planning on calling it: Private Practice. I can't imagine ABC not picking the show up for the fall. To make this easier for me to write, but more importantly, to give it a more reader-friendly approach, I'd like to split this in two. I'll get to my comments on the very well-executed Kate Walsh pilot later. First, let's talk about Grey's...I. GREY'S ANATOMYWhen I heard that Meredith... read more
April 26, 2007: Desire | Grey's Anatomy | 4/27/2007
This episode effectively set the tone for next week's two-hour spin-off that will establish Kate Walsh's potential new series wherein Addison skips town for L.A. after getting Sleepless in Seattle. Poor gal couldn't get a break. First, McSteamy tells her he broke their no-sex agreement because he figured out that he wasn't the one for her (it didn't help when he saw Addison and Alex come out of the closet in more ways than one). Then, just when she figured she had a new boy toy after their... read more
April 19, 2007: Time After Time | Grey's Anatomy | 4/20/2007
After a four-week wait, I was totally psyched to finally see a new episode of Grey's. I woke up in such a good mood Thursday morning since I was finally able to put away my Pepto-Bismol the night before (like a lot of you, I’ve been suffering from a bad case of Sanjayarrhea). So I was not disappointed in this "past coming back to haunt you"-focused episode — especially how they handled the Izzie/George awkwardness (I'll get to that recent past situation in a bit). First things first:... read more
March 22, 2007: My Favorite Mistake | Grey's Anatomy | 3/23/2007
Last week, I was glad to discover that I was not alone in my "thumbs down" feelings about George and Izzie hooking up. Seemed like no matter whom I spoke to about it, and as evidenced by the majority of the comments here, the overall reaction was "ick!" So I was happy to see the word "mistake" included in the title of this week's episode. I got my wish that George wasn't going to remember any of it. Initially. Great "Ohmygod, I left my baby on the bus!" moment tonight when the hungover George... read more

March 15, 2007: Scars and Souvenirs | Grey's Anatomy | 3/16/2007
When Michael Ausiello teased us that one of six possible plot twists would happen in tonight's episode, I was oh-so-hoping it wasn't going to be the "Izzie and George will hook up" option. Ugh! Not that I myself haven't done stupid things while being overly intoxicated — haven't we all? Well... if the two best friends had to end up naked in the same bed (we don't yet have actual evidence that any sexual acts occurred), I'm just glad alcohol was involved. Will either of them remember the... read more
Heigl "Embarrassed" by Publicized Grey's Dispute | Today's News: Our Take | 3/2/2007
Grab your hip waders, because the irony is about to get deep. Katherine Heigl is "embarrassed" by the made-for-public-consumption spectacle that her remuneration dispute with Grey's Anatomy has become — but wags the scolding finger at her employer. "[I am] disappointed that Touchstone [actually now called ABC Television Studios] felt it necessary to divulge private employment information [in the studio's official comment]," she says in a statement. "I had hoped I would be able to deal with... read more
Studio "Surprised" by Heigl's Reaction, Says She'll Remain on Grey's | Today's News: Our Take | 2/28/2007
Katherine Heigl has dropped out of contract talks with Grey's Anatomy, due to matters of dollars and cents, People reported Wednesday morning. "Katie is disappointed and hurt that Touchstone doesn't value her as much as her other costars, especially Sandra Oh and Isaiah Washington," said a source who apparently didn't get the memo that Touchstone changed its name to ABC Television Studio about two weeks ago. Heigl, if you think way, way back to the pre-Anna Nicole/Bald Britney era, was perhaps... read more
February 22, 2007: Some Kind of Miracle | Grey's Anatomy | 2/23/2007
Where do I start? First, a little self-indulgence. This magnificent episode — part three of a three-parter – aired on my birthday. So, Shonda darlin', thanks for the beyond-awesome birthday present! OK, enough of that. How fabulous was tonight? We knew in our hearts that Meredith would live. I enjoyed reading the plethora of comments the last few weeks, some predicting that "if Meredith dies, maybe she'll continue as narrator à la Mary Alice on Desperate Housewives?” Nope.... read more
February 15, 2007: Drowning on Dry Land | Grey's Anatomy | 2/16/2007
I don't know about you, but it seems like all I've thought about all week is Meredith floating in the water. Oh, sure, Anna Nicole entered my thoughts. Idol mania is starting up again. Oscar fever is abounding. But I just could not get that little girl's face — her blank stare — out of my mind. Are you with me here? Oh. My. God. I fricking love this show. Let’s first talk about that ending! After Michael Ausiello and others let the cat out of the bag that Denny (Jeffrey Dean... read more
February 1, 2007: Wishin' and Hopin' | Grey's Anatomy | 2/2/2007
I enjoyed reading everyone's predictions last week regarding whether Cristina would say yes to Burke and whether Callie would say yes to George. I loved that we got one answer right away and the other one at the very end — George and Callie had gotten hitched in Las Vegas and Cristina gave Burke a "yes" under one condition: "I'm not wearing a ring." When Cristina put the ring on the counter at the end and told Burke: "I don't do rings," I was thinking she was rejecting his proposal —... read more
January 25, 2007: Great Expectations | Grey's Anatomy | 1/26/2007
After seeing the coming attractions last week, in which the announcer emphasized the "last five minutes," I had — just like the title of tonight's episode — "Great Expectations," and I was not disappointed. Two of our favorite gals were proposed to simultaneously, thanks to effective editing, and neither of them gave their answers... at least, not until next week. Will Cristina say yes to Burke? Will Callie say yes to George? Can't see why either of them would say no. But the last... read more
January 18, 2007: Six Days, Part 2 | Grey's Anatomy | 1/19/2007
How many of you were a complete mess while watching this episode, like I was? Out. Of. Control. Hey — it's not a shocker when Grey's Anatomy makes you cry — I'm used to getting teary-eyed at least once per episode. But multiple times throughout the hour — that only happens once or twice per season for me. Wow. Can someone please give T.R. Knight an Emmy, Golden Globe or SAG nomination? To the best of my knowledge, he has never been individually nominated for any TV acting award,... read more
Grey's Star: Isaiah Washington Needs to F'ing Zip It | Today's News: Our Take | 1/16/2007
Isaiah Washington, who backstage at the Golden Globes made some sort of bid to set the record straight about what he did or did not call T.R. Knight during the infamous October on-set fracas, may have only dug himself in deeper — at the very least with another Grey's Anatomy cast mate, Katherine Heigl. Speaking to Access Hollywood after his latest spiel, Washington reiterated, "There is no way I could do anything so vile" as calling another person the F-word.Heigl, though, says... read more
January 11, 2007: Six Days, Part 1 | Grey's Anatomy | 1/12/2007
The title of tonight's episode was "Six Days." But it's been a long six weeks since we've had the privilege of a new episode. I've missed my Grey Thursdays. Do you agree with me that it was worth the wait? First things first — it's about frickin' time Izzie deposited that check! I loved George saying to her, after the check fell off the fridge yet again: "I just dropped 8.7 million dollars on the floor. You need to deposit that check!" I imagined hearing millions of homes screaming: "Yes!"... read more
Globes-Trotting: Following the Buzz | Roush Dispatch | 12/14/2006
The best thing you can say about the Golden Globes nominations is that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association isn't afraid about welcoming new kids to the party, especially if they've made a little noise along the way.On the plus side, that means shining some love on deserving candidates like America Ferrera and Ugly Betty, a show and a performance that would seem tailor-made to the Foreign Press's presumed concerns about diversity in entertainment. Likewise Masi Oka, who gives one of the most... read more
November 30, 2006: Don't Stand So Close to Me | Grey's Anatomy | 12/1/2006
Last season, back in April, I made a comment that I was officially old since Mare Winningham was playing a soon-to-be grandmother. That's because, even though I know she was Oscar-nominated for Georgia, I will always think of Mare as Wendy, the gal that Billy (Rob Lowe) discovered was wearing a girdle in St. Elmo's Fire. Are you with me here? But it was good to see her back tonight as Susan Grey, the current wife of Meredith's dad, Thatcher, and the timing made sense since Susan and Thatcher's... read more
November 23, 2006: From a Whisper to a Scream | Grey's Anatomy | 11/24/2006
Hours after the effects of the tryptophan from the fabulous Thanksgiving dinner I had with friends wore off, I gave thanks for a new episode of Grey's. This episode was anything but a turkey. How many of you were screaming "yes!" to the TV as soon as you heard Sandra Oh's voice in the opening narration rather than Ellen Pompeo's? Not that I dislike Meredith Grey being the show's narrator — it is called Grey’s Anatomy. But it's a nice diversion when someone else takes over for a... read more
November 16, 2006: Staring at the Sun | Grey's Anatomy | 11/17/2006
The three words that kept going through my head while watching this episode were, "It's about time...."— It's about time... that someone (George) noticed that Cristina's been covering for Burke's shaky hand.— It's about time... that Meredith stopped being dark and twisty and started having a more positive outlook on life.— It's about time... that Alex kissed Izzie again. Even though she wasn't ready for it, it got her mind off her mourning.— It's about time... that Richard... read more
November 9, 2006: Where the Boys Are | Grey's Anatomy | 11/10/2006
Somehow I knew the guys' camping trip was going to be a disaster. But at least it was a learning experience for everyone. George figured out that Burke's got a shaky hand and Callie slept with Sloan (thanks to Alex's big mouth). Alex learned that George has quite a temper. Webber discovered that bartender Joe (Steven W. Bailey) is in a loving relationship with a man named Walter (Jack Yang), which made Webber miss his wife Adele. Walter learned to never again go on a camping trip with straight... read more
November 2, 2006: Let the Angels Commit | Grey's Anatomy | 11/3/2006
I bet all you Meredith-haters screamed "Yes!" when Cristina said: "Everything is not about you, Meredith." I would've laughed harder had they not used it in the coming attractions and promos, but either way, that was a good line regardless of how you feel about Meredith. I personally enjoyed Meredith tonight in this commitment-themed episode — especially in the closing scene when she finished Derek's sentence by suggesting he "take some space" and clear his head, as if she understood,... read more
October 19, 2006: Oh, the Guilt | Grey's Anatomy | 10/20/2006
As the episode's title hinted, overcoming guilt was certainly the ongoing theme tonight. The person most affected by her surrounding friends and fellow doctors was Izzie. My favorite two "Izzie influencers" were Burke and Webber. They both FTF'd her (Friends Tell Friends) — first Burke told her: "You quit. You quit being a surgeon. You have two good hands and you aren't using them. Feel guilty about that." And then I thought it was quite effective when Webber, trying to make Izzie feel... read more
October 12, 2006: What I Am | Grey's Anatomy | 10/13/2006
The very best episodes of Grey's Anatomy make you laugh and cry all at once, and this was one of those. Seconds after I was crying while watching Izzie listen to Denny's phone message to his parents, I laughed out loud at Callie propositioning McSteamy. All together now: Shut up! Mark Sloan aka McSteamy to Callie: "Can I buy you a drink?" Callie: "Only if you have it delivered to my hotel room," as she walks out of the bar, then turns around all sexy: "You comin'?" You go, girl! She breaks it... read more
October 5, 2006: Sometimes a Fantasy | Grey's Anatomy | 10/6/2006
As the title of the episode indicates, "Sometimes a Fantasy" is an effective way to open an episode of this show. So funny to see the three of them (supposedly) naked in bed together — smiling Meredith in the middle of Finn and Derek. This dating thing was a nice way for Ellen Pompeo to finally get a chance to show off that smile of hers, after several seasons of sorrow. I liked seeing Meredith as a giddy girl declaring that "Dating is fun!" and telling Derek and then Finn: "I had a dream... read more
September 28, 2006: I Am a Tree | Grey's Anatomy | 9/29/2006
First of all, how exciting was the news last Friday morning that Grey's beat CSI in the ratings? Never thought it would happen since CSI has been such a juggernaut ever since it moved to Thursdays from Fridays years ago. CSI (along with Survivor) caused CBS to take away the "Must-see TV" title away from NBC as far as Thursdays were concerned. CSI for me has always stood for Can't Seem Interested or Can't Stand It (and before a bunch of you tell me you like both shows, that's fine – I'm... read more
September 21, 2006: Time Has Come Today | Grey's Anatomy | 9/22/2006
I f---ing love this show. There -- I said it. And to use the title of the episode, "Time Has Come Today" for all us Grey's fans to rejoice -- we finally saw our season premiere! I want to say right away that I really enjoyed all the flashbacks -- and not flashbacks to scenes we've already witnessed ("previously on Grey's Anatomy"). It had a sort of Lost feel to it with the backstories -- not completely Lost-like since most of the scenes were things they've alluded to before, but it was great to... read more

My Visit to Grey's Anatomy | Ausiello Report | 7/27/2006
You won't believe this, but I once again found myself in a hospital while in Los Angeles covering the TCA Press Tour. But unlike the Root Canal Crisis of 2005, this year's medical intervention didn't involve any pain, just some mild heart palpitations, high blood pressure and sweaty palms. And the doctors attending to me bore the names McDreamy, Meredith, Izzie and Addison. If you haven't figured out where I'm going with this yet — and if the headline hadn't already given it away — I... read more
