September 2008 News Archive (Page 4)

The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards has released a final list of presenters for the awards show this coming Sunday evening and Grey's Anatomy stars Patrick Dempsey and Sandra Oh are officially among the celebrities in the lineup.

Sandra Oh is nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series alongside fellow amazing Grey's Anatomy cast member Chandra Wilson.

Unfortunately, McDreamy was not nominated for an award this year, but at least he will be on hand as a presenter at the show in all his handsomeness.

We don't care too much for individual awards - Grey's Anatomy is a total team effort - but we'd love to see either Chandra Wilson or Sandra Oh win an Emmy Award Sunday for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.

Amazingly, this marks the fourth consecutive nomination for Oh (Cristina) and the third straight for Wilson (Bailey). Last year, Katherine Heigl was also nominated - and ended up winning the award. Then this year ... you know.

Competing in the same category, only one can possibly win. And while there's no wrong answer, we're bringing back our poll from earlier this summer to gauge which Grey's Anatomy cast member you think best deserves it.

Season Five of Grey's Anatomy is a little over one week (!) away and the rumors, spoilers and news - not to mention the excitement - surrounding the premiere, are building by the day. What's the latest on our favorite show this morning?

Enter Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly ...

Q: Do you have any inside info on what Season 5 of Grey's Anatomy holds for Izzie and Alex? Their chemistry is great.

A: Let's just say you'll have a really good idea where these two are headed by the end of the two-hour opener on September 25 - which, BTW, I just watched and really enjoyed. Turns out Kevin McKidd is all that and a bag of chips.

Q: What's going on with Grey's Anatomy's Callica (Callie and Erica)?!

A: There's an awesome, awkward, totally endearing scene between the two of them at the end of the premiere. Sara Ramirez, in particular, is just fantastic. Meanwhile, looking ahead there's buzz that Callica may not be the only members of Seattle Grace's rapidly expanding LGBT community. There's a rumor going around that when the casting call for the new female intern went out last month, interested parties were told they had to be comfortable making out with both men and women. Coincidence then that the actress who got the role hails from The L Word? Only time will tell!

Q: How about some Grey's Anatomy scoop on someone other than Meredith Grey-Derek Shepherd or Cristina Yang-Owen Hunt?

A: The show is casting the role of a female patient who develops a multi-episode crush on one of the docs. My guess: We're looking at a potential love interest for McSteamy.

Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo looks absolutely wonderful on the upcoming, October 2008 cover of Allure Magazine.

She's the best. The publication features various pictures of the beautiful Ellen Pompeo, from the distant and recent past to the present, along with some quotes from the 38-year-old actress. Here are some excerpts:

On being was surprised at Grey’s Anatomy’s popularity: “When I did the pilot, I thought, ‘I can’t stand medical shows. This will never get on.’”

On her 2002 movie, Moonlight Mile: "That movie was, to date, my best experience ever acting. It was a really monumental time for me, and I was absolutely terrified, but everybody helped me through it, and it was amazing."

On marrying Chris Ivery last November: "The weekend we got married ... nobody knew it. I wasn't wearing a wedding ring. I didn't want to go anywhere to buy rings because I didn't want it to leak that we were getting married. My manager went to Cartier for me and bought two plain bands so we'd have something to exchange at the ceremony, but they didn't fit. We just used the rings for the ceremony and took them off."

A small piece of Grey's Anatomy news involving your favorite stars:

Todd English has been put in charge of the cuisine, while guest hosts for the event include Grey's Anatomy stars Patrick Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo!

Mark Wahlberg, Jon Stewart and Tina Fey are also listed as guest-hosts. The Emmy Awards will be unveiled this Sunday, September 21 at 8 p.m.!

ABC is released this Grey's Anatomy promo as part of its marketing campaign, "National Stay at Home Week." No arguments there, as long as Grey's Anatomy is on!

Some Grey's Anatomy spoilers and gossip from Kristin Dos Santos of E! Online ...

Q: So what's the deal with the new promos for Grey's Anatomy?
A: After a couple of promos that were a wee bit misleading (including the infamous one where McDreamy supposedly dies), we now have a glorious payoff: A sneak peek of Cristina's first meeting with Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd of Journeyman).

Q: On Grey's Anatomy, I heard that McSteamy got Callie pregnant and that their baby is the new love in his life. Tell me it's true! McSteamy offspring would be sooo cute.
A: As much as I agree on the cute, I checked, and this will not come to pass. According to my sources, Callie is definitely not pregnant, either by McSteamy or George, and don't let nobody tell you different.

Q: George has been with, like, everyone on Grey's Anatomy. He even saw Bailey's vajayjay. Is Lexie next in line for a little O'Malley magic?
A: According to my Grey's Anatomy sources, Lexie and George don't have a romance this season that's a major storyline (at least, not in the first part of the season); however, two other doctors we love will be hooking up, and it is most definitely major.

Interesting! Anybody have any guesses or predictions on that front? You can share them via comments below, or discuss in our Grey's Anatomy forum!

Below is deleted scene that appears on the Season 4 DVD set, featuring Alex and Izzie.

It was originally filmed / intended for the season's 11th episode, "Lay Your Hands On Me."

It's an extended verstion of the scene with him trying to get her out of bed, and we just love the comments they make to each other. Great acting.
