Walsh, Heigl Make Maxim Hot 100 List
The cast of Grey’s Anatomy was well represented on the annual Maxim Hot 100 list, with Kate Walsh (#52) and Katherine Heigl (#14) being recognized as some of today’s hottest stars. The beautiful and candid Heigl has emerged as a talented, in-demand actress in the past year, winning accolades for her work on Grey’s and starring in the upcoming movie Knocked Up. Walsh’s star has also risen fast - she’ll be starring on her own Grey’s spin-off, Private Practice, come fall.
*Patrick Dempsey, Katherine Heigl Among People’s Most Beautiful of 2007
A pair of Grey’s Anatomy beauties - Patrick Dempsey and Katherine Heigl - are featured in People magazine’s Most Beautiful People of 2007. Here are the pictures of the terrific twosome from the magazine, as well as what they both have to say about their wonderful heads of hair… “Hair to me is not a priority. All I ever do is throw it in a bun,” admits Katherine Heigl, 28. “The only thing I know how to do is hot rollers, which is sort of over. I can’t style bangs even though I love them and I’m always like, ‘Let’s cut some bangs!’ And then I’m stuck with hair I can’t figure out.” “The gray hairs certainly have come in the last few months,” says the 41-year-old leading man of Grey’s Anatomy. “The last year has been difficult on many levels, with the show moving to Thursday, and everything that happened this year, and worrying that everything was going to go all right with the boys [newborns Darby and Sullivan] and my wife [Jillian, 41]. But they’ve ceased to come in as quickly.”
*Grey’s Anatomy Has a TV First
On last week’s episode, ‘My Favorite Mistake’, the show featured a patient with the disease Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva (FOP). As it turns out, that’s the first time ever that the disease has been featured in a fictional setting. The International Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva Association (IFOPA) was actively involved in the research for the episode and feel strongly about the attention and awareness Grey’s Anatomy has brought FOP.
*Tim Daly and Paul Adelstein Join Grey’s Spinoff
First there was McDreamy (Patrick Dempsey). Then along came McSteamy (Eric Dane). Now, the women of Grey’s Anatomy may have to come up with a brand-new nickname now that actor Tim Daly is on his way to Seattle Grace Hospital. Daly, 51, best known for his role on Wings, will appear on a special two-hour episode of the ABC drama that could serve as a springboard for the much-touted spinoff series, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The spinoff would star the character Addison Montgomery (played by the lovely Kate Walsh), ABC reps confirmed to People in February. Actor Taye Diggs has also signed on to appear in the expanded episode, which is scheduled to air later this spring. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Daly’s character is described in a production breakdown as “handsome, sincere, like a McDreamy.” Paul Adelstein, who plays the double-crossing Secret Service agent, Paul Kellerman on FOX’s Prison Break (and who was also considered for the role of Dr. Burke, which went to Isaiah Washington) has also been cast, though it’s unclear what role he will play. Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes is writing the special, two-hour episode, the details of which are being kept under wraps. USA Today reports, however, that the basic gist will feature Addison mulling a new job offer. Should the episode be warmly received and the network decide that the spinoff will go forward, Addison will most likely accept the offer. Daly most recently starred in ABC’s critically lauded drama The Nine.
*Grey's Anatomy Spinoff
Walt Disney Co.'s television network ABC has decided to pursue a spinoff of its popular medical drama "Grey's Anatomy," the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday. It will star Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd, the sexy neonatal surgeon played by Kate Walsh, the paper said. A two-hour pilot of the show, which could add millions in additional advertising revenue, is likely to air in May, the paper said. Taye Diggs has been tapped to star in the Grey's Anatomy spin-off currently in the works. No details are available on his character. Grey's will set the stage for the spin-off, which will focus on Kate Walsh's character, Dr. Addison Shepherd, via an expanded two-hour episode scheduled to air in May in which Dr. Shepherd will consider an exit from Seattle Grace. Grey's writer and creator Shonda Rhimes is writing the episode and is expected to write the potential spin-off as well.
