Exclusive: 'Grey's Anatomy' Enlists 'Alias' Badass to Play Callica Spoiler - Sep 25, 2008
At this rate, the bisexuals will soon outnumber the straights at Seattle Grace.

Sources confirm to me exclusively that ex-Alias vixen Melissa George is in final negotiations to join the cast of Grey's Anatomy as an intern with, um, an open mind toward sexuality. To wit, I'm told she's being groomed as a potential love interest for one of Grey's other two burgeoning bis, Callie (Sara Ramirez) or Erica (Brooke Smith).

(That noise you hear is Callica fans sticking pins in their Shonda Rhimes voodoo doll.*)

A Grey's insider tells me George was initially going to be introduced by way of a gurney, but rumor has it Shonda Rhimes was so enamored with the ex-In Treatment star that she tweaked the role to give it more long-term potential. Of course, it's also possible the patient thing was just a decoy to throw off spoiler hunters like myself -- in which case, I'm on to you, Rhimes!

George's probable hiring caps a busy couple of weeks for Grey's casting honchos. In addition to The L Word's Janina Gavankar and up-and-comer Brandon Scott checking in as new interns, Battlestar Galactica's inimitable Mary McDonnell has sealed a deal to play a doctor for a multi-episode arc.

Ask Ausiello:September 23, 2008
uestion: By now you should be able to tell us: Is there a baby in the mix in Grey's or not? -- Virginia
Ausiello: Not in tomorrow's two-hour premiere there's not.

Question: Do you have any inside info on what season 5 of Grey's Anatomy holds for Izzie and Alex? Their chemistry is great. -- Traci
Ausiello: 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 Sept. 25 -- which, BTW, I just watched and really enjoyed. Turns out Kevin McKidd is all that and a bag of chips.

Question: What's going on with Grey's Anatomy's Callica (Callie and Erica)?! -- Ally
Ausiello: 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. Although I haven't been able to confirm this, 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!

Question: How about some Grey's Anatomy scoop on someone other than Mer-Der or Yang-Hunt? -- CB
Ausiello: 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 new love interest for McSteamy.

Grey’s Scoop from Ausiello - September 10th, 2008

Can you tell me if Derek gets hurt in the Grey’s Anatomy season premiere? Judging by that infamous promo, ABC certainly wants you to think that, right? Well, allow me to clear things up for you — by way of a multiple-choice quiz! (Why should ABC’s promo department have all the fun?) I can confirm that two of the following take place in the Sept. 25 season premiere — one for real and the other in Meredith’s imagination (the other two are outright foilers).
A) Rose stabs Derek.
B) Derek suffers a heart attack and is visited by the ghost of Denny.
C) Dr. Burke returns to Seattle Grace and shoots Derek in the face before turning the gun on himself.
D) In a flashback, we learn that Derek got into a car accident shortly after leaving Meredith in the candle field.

Please tell me Cristina’s new love interest on Grey’s Anatomy (a.k.a. Kevin McKidd) is here to stay! His first episode hasn’t even aired yet — how do you know the two of them are any good together? Have you seen a rough cut of the premiere or something? If so, how ’bout you burn me a copy on the DL? In return, I’ll share with you some good news: Although McKidd’s status is technically still recurring, I’ll be shocked if he isn’t made a full-time regular by the end of the season. Shonda Rhimes is apparently doing cartwheels over his work thus far. Literally doing cartwheels. My Grey’s mole saw her doing one in the parking lot last Thursday.

Anything else on Grey’s Anatomy? Don’t be surprised if the season premiere leaves you a little, um, Lost. No, the Chief isn’t going to turn the donkey wheel in the basement and make Seattle Grace disappear. Rather, a flash forwardish sequence will show us what two characters might be up to several years in the future.

Question: I just saw the new promo for Grey's Anatomy in which Rose says she is carrying Derek's baby. WTF? -- Courtney

Ausiello: WTF is right. That promo caused quote the little firestorm over at ABC yesterday. Not only did it incur the wrath of millions of Rose-weary Mer-Der fans, but it essentially branded one of the network's most valuable assets (i.e. Shonda Rhimes) a big ol' liar. You see, in her ABC podcast that followed the show's finale last May, Rhimes assured fans that Grey's would not be employing any soap operatic stunts to pull Derek and Meredith apart this season -- and she specifically ruled out knocking up Rose. But someone apparently forgot to pass that bit of information on to the folks cutting together that incendiary clip. As a result, Rhimes has been forced to do the unthinkable: Issue an exclusive statement to me that basically denies the very plot twist that ABC shamelessly tried to dangle before us. "I would not deceive our fans," Rhimes tells me, "especially those loyal enough to listen to our podcast." Long story short: The only thing Rose will be carrying in the season premiere is a third wheel.

Anatomy Dissection: Couples News Nobody Knows! - Thu., Sep. 25, 2008
OK, show of hands. Who wanted to scream "Shut up! Shut up! Shut up!” at Dr. Meredith Whiny-Pants Grey during tonight’s premiere of Grey’s Anatomy?

Wow. That's a lot of you. (You can put your hand down, Patrick Dempsey.)

Thankfully, Cristina (Sandra Oh) did the honors in a scene that pretty much stole the two-hour episode (don't read any further until you've seen it)—well, along with the intro of her new love interest Major Hottie, who so lived up to his name.

So, what really went down and what’s the latest exclusive scoop on Alex (Justin Chambers) and Izzie (Katherine Heigl)?

Spoiler Chat: Lost, Office, Grey's and More! - Sept. 22, 2008

Frances in Wilmington, Va.: How is my man Kevin McKidd on Grey's?
Whoa, whoa, whoa. You mean my man Kevin McKidd? I have loved him since before Caesar Augustus died in Rome in freak.ing something or other B.C., OK? So back off, ma.ma! Ahem, anyway? He is awesome. He is actually my most favoritest part of the Grey's premiere and leaves me so weak-kneed and apparently weak-tongued that I can't even use proper grammar. (Help!) I think you will adore the interaction between "Major Hottie" (McKidd) and Cristina. He plays a no-BS Army doctor who is so raw and tough and dirty and...Don't make me go on 'cause my husband may be reading, but suffice to say that if he were to return later in the season, you would have good reason to watch and rewatch every episode of this series. [One caveat and a plea to Shonda Rhimes: Make that Major Hottie shave his newfound facial hair. Stat!]

Ryan in Atlanta: Yay! Grey's is back this week! Do spill!
Sir, yes sir! Gladly. I've seen this Thursday's two-hour premiere and let me tell you, it is good to have our Seattle Grace friends back—and also good to see that those promos ABC temporarily released (Rose being pregnant; Derek dying) really weren't true and not a big part of the storyline at all. The episode is solid, and I'll share what I can (without having to enter witness protection) in the Spoiler Section below.

Wanda2Saints: What can you tell us about the Grey's premiere?
Where things are left off with Alex and Izzie at the end of the season premiere are not indicative as to what lies ahead this season. (Remember that so you know what I'm saying after you watch the episode.) Also, one of the docs gets stabbed and Sandra Oh rants at Meredith with something some of you fans have been wanting to say for a while now: "Shut up about Derek!" It is an awesome scene. Look for it.

Randall in Ithaca, N.Y.: Is Lauren Stamile really gone for good after the premiere? Please say yes!
Yes. And you will see why in the season premiere—she has a weird Dexter-like moment.

Grey's Anatomy: Season Five by Five

Today 5:13 PM PDT by Kristin Dos Santos

Get five sneak-preview vids of the fifth-season premiere of Grey's Anatomy, along with five spoilerific tidbits about what's to come.

[scene where they find out they're #12]
Spoiler bonus: Following this scene, Bailey (Chandra Wilson) starts stealing patients for Seattle Grace, since it is no longer the No. 1 teaching hospital, and they need to up their trauma ranking. Also, late in the episode, a very cranky chief (James Pickens Jr.) gets angry about the ranking situation and goes off on one of the people in this scene like he has never gone off before. You—and the person he yells at—will be stunned.

[new George & Lexie scene]
Spoiler bonus: Even though Lexie (Chyler Leigh) and George (T.R. Knight) seem to be getting cozy, she finds out he slept with the other Grey...and that throws a wrench in the works.

[new scene w/ limo arriving in ambulance bay]
Spoiler bonus: See that blanket wrapped around Miss Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl)? Seconds before this clip starts, Alex (Justin Chambers) wraps it around her. Yes, we see a nicer, better-behaved Alex, but that won't last long—not even until the end of this episode.

[scene w/ pen trach]
Spoiler bonus: Meet Major Owen Hunt (Kevin McKidd), the Major Hottie who butts heads with every male doctor in Seattle Grace. There may be blood running down his leg, but that doesn't bother Hunt much; just wait until he staples his own behind later in the episode.

[new scene w/ Chief / Cris / Hunt]
Spoiler bonus: Cristina (Sandra Oh) has to take care of Hunt now, but later in the premiere she may need a little help herself. Speaking of Cristina, she tells Meredith what the rest of have been thinking for a while now: Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) are stuck in a vicious circle, and Cristina's sick of hearing about it!

EXTRA CREDIT CLIP & SCOOP
[scene w/Mer rushing into ER and Derek 'dying']
By now you will have deduced that this is a dream sequence, seeing as how the title of the episode is "Dream a Little Dream of Me," but Derek is stabbed later in the episode, and Nurse Rose (Lauren Stamile) has something to do with it. That lady is full-on Looney Tunes.

Latest from Kristin - 17-Sep-2008
Yep it's true, McSteamy is back on the market.

As Eric Dane told me at the USA Weekend cover photo shoot, "I think this year he's going to find somebody." Could it be Callie (again)? What about Izzie?

I've got the latest word...

According to my sources, McSteamy's new love is not Izzie, who will be very much occupied elsewhere this year (more on that later). Callie is settling down with Hahn, Rose is leaving, Cristina and Meredith are hooking up with other doctors and Bailey wouldn't touch McSteamy with a 10-foot pole, so where does that leave the good Dr. Mark Sloan?

Quite possibly, it seems, with a new woman, if one recent Grey's Anatomy casting call for a guest star who may recur is to be trusted:

The eye-catching notice in question described this new character as a female patient in her late 20s or early 30s, but, most important of all, they are looking for "star names only," meaning someone with a recognizable face they could effectively splash all over billboards and TV ads because the character will be in the midst of a hot fling with one of their hot male leads...

One other note of interest, this character is "an empowered type A personality." In my humble opinion, this is good for two reasons:

1. McSteamy loves those man-eaters, as evidenced by his crushes on Addy and Hahn
2. This means that the new girl's nickname is a gimme: Little Miss Type A. Just like Reese Witherspoon's nickname, and now that that I think about it, Reese would be perfect for the part. (Do it, Reese, do it!)

Now, my brainstorming aside, who should play Little Miss Type A? Post your picks in the comments, along with any questions you have for the Emmy nominees amongst the cast and I'll try to corral them for answers this Sunday on the red carpet!

From Ask Kristin:Sep. 15, 2008Anne in Boston: 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.
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.

Nicole in Honolulu: 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?
According to my Grey's 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 (besides MerDer) will be hooking up, and it is most definitely major.

Grey's Anatomy: Is Rose Pregnant? Find Out the Truth
Sep 2, 10:29 AM PDT by Kristin Dos Santos

(YouTube video from above is embedded: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TG5zyc3XbjI )

Shout-out to Kate from New York for telling us about this new Grey's Anatomy promo, wherein Rose (Lauren Stamile) says to Derek (Patrick Dempsey): "I wish there were a good way to say this: I'm carrying your child."

Want to know exactly what happens in the premiere when Rose drops the bomb from the promo into Derek's lap? Could Nurse Rose truly be having McDreamy's baby? (Aaah!)

I've got the exclusive dish, so click in to find out about the future of Meredith and McDreamy...

Liar, liar, pants on fire!

My sources tell me that the promo posted above is just plain old pointless torture, because Rose is lying through her pretty white teeth when she tells Derek that she's having his baby.

Now, why is she lying, and could she get away with it? That remains to be seen, but I can tell you that "Thorn" is just about done causing trouble for Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek, because the two-hour season premiere (airing Sept. 25 on ABC at 9 p.m.) is apparently Lauren Stamile's final appearance with the show.

Crisis averted! Rejoice in the comments! I'm heading to the Brothers & Sisters set right this minute, but I'll be back later to join you for a group happy dance.

Grey's Anatomy: Mary McDonnell to Guest Star - Sep 24, 2008
Holy frak! President Roslin is joining Grey's Anatomy!

Mary McDonnell is in advanced talks to join the drama for a multi-episode guest arc, confirms ABC.

But who will she play?

The nature of Mary's role, first reported by our good friends at Galactica Sitrep and Mo Ryan of the Chicago Tribune, remains a mystery. All we fans know for now is that it's a guest gig. The character's identity—patient, doctor or recently arrived relative—remains shrouded in Grey's famous anti-spoiler force field...

But remember how last week I told you about the casting call for Little Miss Type A, the high-powered type A personality female character in her 20s or 30s?

If you knocked off the age restriction, Mary McD would certainly be able to fill the other requirements of the part, don't you think? And now that I think about it, Mary could very well be a more mature Kate Walsh/Addison Montgomery. Could this be the older woman of McSteamy's dreams?

What are your thoughts? Who else could she be playing? A hospital administrator come to help or harass the Chief? Or maybe Alex's mentally ill mother?

All I know is that it would be a bit much if she were playing a dying leader of any stripe, but besides that, I think the options are endless! Post your theories in the comments!

BATTLESTAR GALACTICA BONUS Q&A

Sabrina in Cleveland: OMG. Was Tahmoh Penikett kidding or being serious when he said everyone dies at the end of Battlestar Galactica?
I ran that by Tricia Helfer at the Emmys, and she said of the series finale, "Well, it's not as dark as, say, the midseason finale." Mmm...Want the official word? I also threw that question out to Mary McDonnell herself at the Seagate-Revlon Entertainment Weekly pre-Emmys party: Does everybody die in the finale? "No!" Roslin beats Helo any day of the week, so there's your answer!

'Grey's Anatomy' Makes Taylor Swift Cry - September 23, 2008
Taylor Swift is such a huge "Grey's Anatomy" fan that she broke down in tears upon discovering the show will use her song in the season premiere.
"You should've seen tears streaming down my face when I got the phone call that they were going to use that song on 'Grey's,'" she tells Billboard. "I have never been that excited.
The song, "White Horse," is from her upcoming sophomore album, Fearless, out November 11.
"This is my life's goal," she added, "to have a song on 'Grey's Anatomy.' My love of 'Grey's Anatomy' has never wavered. It's my longest relationship to date."
Taylor says the song "talks about falling in love and the fairy tales that you are going to have with this person, and then there is that moment where you realize that it is not going to happen. That moment is the most earth shattering moment."
The new season of "Grey's" premieres September 25 at 9 p.m. on ABC.
