President of ABC Entertainment Stephen McPherson called Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl’s recent appearance on Late Night with David Letterman “unfortunate,” says Perez Hilton.
“Our first day back was Wednesday,” Heigl told Letterman when she appeared on his show July 20, “And it was – I’m going to keep saying this because I hope it embarrasses them – a 17-hour day, which I think is cruel and mean.”
“I’m guessing if you’re working 17 hours, that means you’re not dead,” responded the host, attempting to reveal the fate of Heigl’s character, Izzie Stevens, who is currently battling cancer.
We are not generally into the whole sci-fi thing but this show looks pretty good. It should be considering it’s the same team who came up with Grey’s Anatomy. Defying Gravity follows a group of eight young astronauts on a six year space mission. There is comedy, politics and some romance (leave it to Jordan to focus on sex, even when it’s in outer space). We sat down with Laura Harris who is one of the stars of Defying Gravity. Check out the show airing on CTV and ABC sunday evenings.
Despite rumours that Katherine Heigl’s character Izzie Stevens will have a brain tumour in the upcoming season of “Grey’s Anatomy,” executive producer Shona Rhimes says the news is not true.
According to E! News, Rhimes says that although Izzie won’t undergo any personal medical crisis, “interesting sparks” will fly between Alex and Izzie – following their season finale hook-up.
But will other fan favourites Meredith and McDreamy finally settle down?
Not quite yet. “It’s really exciting to see what’s going to come next and how [Meredith's] going to deal with living with a boy, and all the things a man like Derek, who has been married and is a grown-up, might expect,” says Rhimes.
Rhimes continues to say that a new romance fans should keep their eyes on is Callie and Erica’s. “They are definitely on a journey, and it’s going to be a really interesting one…also both actresses are so game; they’re so willing to do something.”
After her infamous speech about taking herself out of the running for this year’s Emmy race because she felt the writers failed to provide her with quality material, Katherine Hiegl might get the boot from the producers of “Grey’s Anatomy.”
According to E! News, the ABC creator of the hit medical drama Shonda Rhimes is rumoured to have Heigl’s Dr. Isobel “Izzie” killed due to the remarks Heigl made about the upcoming Emmys.
“It’s not good there,” a source tells E! of the Grey’s Anatomy set. “Shonda is pissed. They’re thinking of killing her off. They want Izzie dead.”
A rep for Hiegl declined to comment, said the entertainment website.
Actress Katherine Heigl has taken herself out of the running for this year’s 60th Annual Emmy Awards.
Heigl who plays Izzie, on the hit show “Grey’s Anatomy” said that she didn’t feel that her character got the kind of material that warranted an Emmy nomination.
Heigl won an Emmy last year for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
“I did not want to potentially take away an opportunity from an actress who was given such materials.” Said Heigl to the Los Angeles Times Gold Derby blog.
The nominations for this years Emmy’s will be announced June 17th.
T.R. Knight is not getting married to his boyfriend of less than a year, Mark Cornelson, anytime soon.
Rumours of the couple’s possible nuptials arose soon after the California Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. Before the legalization, however, Knight did not even think of the possibility of getting married.
“It was never an option,” Knight told me last night at a gay marriage celebration in West Hollywood. “You realize more when something like [the Supreme Court decision] happens that you’ve been treated like second-class citizens. But it’s simply a matter of our rights and freedom.”
When asked about his fantasy wedding, Knight says he has nothing special planned.
“I haven’t been planning on it, so I don’t know,” Knight says. “I don’t have one of those books made up. I’m going to have to give that some thought.”
Brooke Smith, who plays Dr. Erica Hahn on “Grey’s Anatomy”, has adopted a baby – according to People magazine.
Smith, 40, and her cinematographer husband Steven Lubensky have adopted a girl from Ethiopia. The couple has been married since 1999 and already have a five-year-old daughter named Fanny.
Back in October, Smith told the magazine that she and her husband were considering adoption. “You know, why not?” Smith said, adding that she and her husband have already traveled to Africa several times and filmed a documentary on conservationists in Zimbabwe. “We still might end up there some time,” she said.
Smith plays the head of cardiothoracic surgery at Seattle Grace Hospital on ABC’s hit show “Grey’s Anatomy,” and is also well-known for playing Catherine Martin in “Silence of the Lambs.”
Disgraced actor Isaiah Washington has filed a complaint with the Screen Actors Guild after his picture was used in a recent episode of “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Washington left the show last season after his famed explosion on the set, calling then-closeted co-star T.R. Knight a homophobic slur.
In the show, a newspaper article was shown in the May 9 episode revealing that Washington’s character had received a prestigious award. Unfortunately, it also used a photograph of the actor.
Washington’s attorney claims that ABC has “the rights of the character to advance the story, but not the image.”
There will be a doctor in the house on Genie night: Sandra Oh.
The Canadian “Grey’s Anatomy” star will host the big show, it was announced yesterday. The March 3 ceremonies may bring back happy memories for Oh; she has previously won the best actress Genie for her work in “Last Night” and “Double Happiness.”
Following the end of the Writer’s Guild strike, Oh is currently back to work on the ABC hit “Grey’s Anatomy,” playing sassy doctor Christina Yang. With her other work including the comedy “Sideways,” Oh is sure to bring her signature sense of humour to her hosting duties.
