T.R. Knight is headed to the Great White Way!

The ex-Grey's Anatomy star, who earlier this month confirmed that he was leaving the ABC drama, has signed on to star in the upcoming Broadway revival of Lend Me a Tenor.

Knight will play the role of Max in the classic farce, which is being directed by Stanley Tucci and is scheduled to open in February 2010. Sounds like a great role for him.

Additional casting will be announced in the coming weeks.

Prior to joining the cast of Lend Me a Tenor, Knight will headline a production of Jason Robert Brown's Tony-winning play Parade at Los Angeles' Mark Taper Forum.

Glad to see T.R. returning to the stage. We wish him the best!

It's been quite a week for Ellen Pompeo pictures! The pregnant Grey's Anatomy star showed off her burgeoning baby curves as she headed to her car in Hollywood.

The day before, the 39-year-old, mairred actress and her husband Chris Ivery stopped by their new Hollywood home to check on the progress of their remodeling.

Here are a few cute pics of Ellen and her baby bump ...

No word on whether that's Gigi or Valentino with her in the second photo!

A floral nursery, that is. Excuse the confusion.

Pregnant Grey’s Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo and a friend picked up some greenery for Ellen’s new home with Chris Ivery at Sheridan Gardens Nursery in Burbank, Calif.

Isn't she the cutest pregnant person?

The day before, Ellen was spotted furniture shopping with her former Grey’s Anatomy co-star (and good friend) T.R. Knight. She's out and about a lot these days!

Pregnant actress Ellen Pompeo and her former Grey's Anatomy co-star T.R. Knight headed over to the L.A. Design Center on Western Avenue in Los Angeles late last week. Cute!

The original Grey's Anatomy pair shopped around for furniture for Ellen’s new home. Some pieces for the new nursery, perhaps? That baby bump is really beginning to show!

Last month, Ellen and T.R. were spotted lunching at Milk together in Los Angeles. It's nice to see that even after T.R. left the show, the two stars' friendship is as strong as ever.

Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo showed off her burgeoning baby bump as she leaves her home in Los Angeles on Thursday. The actress announced about two months ago that she is pregnant with her first child. She married back in 2007.

Isn't she such a cute pregnant person?

Earlier this week, the 39-year-old and her husband, Chris Ivery, were seen leaving Mike’s Pastry on Hanover Street in their native city of Boston, Massachusetts.

The couple carried out a box full of sweet treats before heading back to Boston Harbor Hotel, where they stayed. Good to see they made a nice trip back home!

Less than three months until Season Six of Grey's Anatomy begins!

Maybe it was the year's worth of rumors surrounding her leaving the show. Or a year's worth of ghost sex and battles with cancer, culminating in an afterlife scene.

But not everyone is convinced Katherine Heigl is really returning for Season Six of Grey's Anatomy as Dr. Izzie Stevens, who was left in limbo in the season finale.

On that topic, TV Guide says the following in its weekly spoiler Q&A:

Q: Color me shocked that Katherine Heigl isn't leaving Grey's Anatomy. Is it possible we're being duped in some way?

A: I must say that the lack of fanfare surrounding ABC's confirmation of Heigl's status - especially when juxtaposed with the flurry of official statements regarding T.R. Knight's departure - made me raise one of my overgrown eyebrows.

"Sure, she's staying... for just one more episode," I cynically hypothesized.

But one of my best Grey's Anatomy sources insists that this is not a case of clever semantics, and that Heigl's Izzie will have a significant presence in the fall.

Is Katherine Heigl going from rom-coms ... to rom-drams?

According to E! Online, the Grey's Anatomy actress is set to star in Life as We Know It, a film about two singletons who must come together to raise an orphaned child.

And fall in love, perhaps?

The film, which is set to be directed by Greg Berlanti, sounds like it might be a project that is ripe with dramatic possibility, but the really interesting thing about it? The Emmy-winning actress will also be co-producing the film with her mother, Nancy Heigl.

Nancy and Katherine Heigl recently formed a production company together.

Ending months of rumors, Katherine Heigl is said to have signed a deal to return for the sixth season of Grey's Anatomy, though the star herself has not confirmed it.

T.R. Knight isn't the only Grey's Anatomy name involved in theater work.

Chandra Wilson, who plays Dr. Miranda Bailey, has been starring in Chicago this summer, delighting audiences in the famous role of Matron “Mama” Morton in the hit musical.

At one of her recent shows, Wilson received a special visitor - none other than Grey's Anatomy creator / producer Shonda Rhimes. Here's Chandra with her boss backstage ...
