Katherine Heigl Has Marriage, Family on the Mind

It’s been three months since her winter wedding in Park City, Utah, and Katherine Heigl can’t stop singing the praises of her musician husband, Josh Kelley.

“He was everything I was looking for, or needed or wanted in my life,” the Grey’s Anatomy star told Great Britain’s Sunday Times. “He’s just so easy to be around. He lightens up the room and lightens my load.”

The 29-year-old actress already has babies on the brain.

“I think he’d prefer to wait a little more time, but I kind of wouldn’t,” Katherine Heigl said, adding that it would be “foolish to waste our current career opportunities. I think we’ll meet somewhere in the middle.”

When it comes to maintaining her famous figure, Grey’s Anatomy’s Katherine Heigl relies on that very same spirit of compromise to make it work.

“I’ve just discovered if I don’t eat bread or pasta, my stomach doesn’t feel so bloated all the time,” she said. “I try to eat healthy, but I think if you cut out every wonderful thing you love, what’s the point? I’d rather feel sick.”

Katherine Heigl may have it all these days - a rock-star hubby, Grey’s Anatomy, some hit movies and more. But her life wasn’t always so picture perfect.

When the actress was only seven, her older brother, Jason, died from injuries he sustained when he was thrown from the back of a pickup truck.

“For a long time, [Jason’s death] made me afraid of being too happy because things happen so unexpectedly,” the Knocked Up and 27 Dresses star said. “Your world can change and every aspect of your life is different.”

Heigl - who will be back on Grey’s Anatomy for the foreseeable future despite rumors to the contrary - said she’s still learning to let down her defenses.

“[His death] made me afraid when good things happen. It made me brace against it that little bit,” she said. “I’m trying hard not to do that any more. It doesn’t make something terrible easier - and I don’t want to waste my happiness.”

T.R. Knight, Boyfriend Out For a Stroll

Grey’s Anatomy star T.R. Knight (George) and his new love, Mark Cornelsen, do a bit of strolling together in The Hollywood Hills on Sunday.

According to the source of this great photo, T.R. Knight and Cornelsen were house hunting at the time. They must be getting pretty serious!

For those interested, Mark Cornelsen wore a t-shirt stating “We All Have AIDS.” This is to promote a new campaign to end the stigma surrounding HIV/AIDS and call attention to the 40 million men, women, and children living with it globally.

For more information on We All Have AIDS - which features celebrities like Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Elizabeth Taylor, Whoopi Goldberg, Elton John, Alicia Keys, Richard Gere and Nelson Mandela among its many activists - follow the link.

Also, T.R. Knight turned 35 last Wednesday, the 26th. Our apologies for missing this last week, and here’s wishing a happy belated birthday to our man T.R.!

A sharp reader pointed out that the first episode of Grey’s Anatomy aired March 27, 2005, meaning our favorite show just turned three last week!

There have been 71 more great episodes since that date, with five more to come this spring and hopefully many more (full) seasons to follow down the line.

Take a moment now to reflect on your favorite episodes (every one of which has been recapped by our site), characters and love stories, as we recognize three great, though often tumultuous years of our all-time favorite drama, Grey’s Anatomy

Tonight’s Grey’s Anatomy Episode: “Let the Truth Sting”

ABC will be airing “Let the Truth Sting” once again tonight - at 8 p.m. - and while we have seen this Grey’s Anatomy episode multiple times already, there just aren’t all that many to choose from, with Season 4 placed on hiatus for a period of months.

At least we’ve got some solid Grey’s Anatomy spoilers and topics for discussion to keep us fired up until the show finally returns with five new episodes April 24.

In the meantime, for a full rundown of this entertaining episode, feel free to read Grey’s Anatomy Insider’s official episode recap of “Let the Truth Sting.”

Our coverage also includes a music guide to the show, photo gallery, list of Grey’s Anatomy quotes, a staff round table discussion and, as always, our forum.

OMG Really Old Guy Woke Up!

Justin Chambers Opens Up About Sleeping Disorder

Justin Chambers said in an interview this week that a longtime sleeping disorder led him to check in to UCLA’s psych ward earlier this year.

“It’s an issue that I’ve had for a while,” the Grey’s Anatomy star tells People magazine exclusively in his first interview since the incident.

“It’s a biological sleep disorder,” he added. “Your mind keeps racing, and your body is tired. It wants to go to sleep, but it can’t.”

Justin Chambers and Keisha Chambers

Justin Chambers, 37, who has five children with his wife, Keisha Chambers, 38, says in the two months prior to checking in to UCLA, he was sleeping no more than an hour a week, and reached the point where he absolutely had to act.

“I got to my wit’s end,” he says.

His public comments follow a somewhat scary article in Star Magazine detailing Justin clearly struggling with his condition during a trip to Palm Springs.

It’s hard to say what’s just rumors and what actually took place that night, but it’s good that Justin Chambers is getting help for this serious medical condition.
