'Grey's Anatomy' star Dempsey co-owner of IRL team Patrick Dempsey, one of the stars of ABC's "Grey's Anatomy," has become a co-owner of IndyCar's Vision Racing, the team said Friday. Dempsey, who drives professionally, attended the 2004 Indianapolis 500 as a celebrity guest and met Vision Racing owners Tony and Laura George. They decided to become partners after the 2005 season. "I am thrilled to be a part of the Vision team and I feel like a kid in a candy store," Dempsey said. "I also cannot think of anyone other than Tony and Laura George that I would want to partner with in IndyCar Racing. All my experiences at Indy have been magical." Dempsey is driving professionally in "Grand American Cup" class sports car racing with Hypersport. He also attended the Skip Barber and Panoz Racing Schools and began racing in the Panoz GT Series in 2004. He finished third at the Panoz GT race in Road Atlanta in May 2005. The veteran actor plays Dr. Derek Shepherd on the medical drama "Grey's Anatomy." Vision Racing was formed in February 2005 when Indy Racing League founder Tony George and his wife bought the assets of Kelley Racing from Tom Kelley. From: The Associated Press |

'Grey's Anatomy' star reveals he has dyslexia Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey says his childhood wasn't so McDreamy: He wasn't diagnosed as being dyslexic until he was 12 years old. "It's given me a perspective of you have to keep working," Dempsey said to Barbara Walters about his dyslexia. "I think it's made me who I am today," says Dempsey, who plays neurosurgeon Dr. Derek Shepherd on the hit ABC series, in an interview on The Barbara Walters Special that airs Wednesday night (10 p.m. ET). "It's given me a perspective of you have to keep working," Dempsey tells Walters. "I have never given up." Dempsey, 40, says he struggles while reading scripts and memorizing his lines. "I think that's when I get the most insecure ... it's very hard for me to read it off the page," he says. "I need to memorize it, in order to go on." Dempsey, now experiencing a career comeback since dropping off Hollywood's radar screen after his '80s romantic comedy days, says he was once prone to divalike behavior. "You can't have temper tantrums," he says. "You have to be professional and I don't think I understood that at the time." On Grey's Anatomy, Dempsey's character is nicknamed "Dr. McDreamy" by the hospital's female interns, including Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo. Walters also interviews Matthew McConaughey, George Clooney, an Oscar nominee in multiple categories, and Mariah Carey, on the 25th edition of her Oscar special. The show, which previously aired before the Oscars show on the East Coast and immediately following the show on the West Coast, was moved back this year to the last night of sweeps and following an original episode of Lost. The Oscars will air Sunday on ABC (8 p.m. ET). USA Today |

'Grey's Anatomy' Jokes at TV Festival At TV Festival, 'Grey's Anatomy' Cast Has As Much Fun As Its Characters By SOLVEJ SCHOU LOS ANGELES Mar 1, 2006 (AP) They joked, they flirted, they even squabbled a bit, and Ellen Pompeo accidentally called her co-star by his character's name, George. With a fun familiarity that reflects the show, the cast of ABC's hit series "Grey's Anatomy" kicked off the Museum of Television & Radio's 23rd annual William S. Paley Television Festival on Tuesday. Ten of the medical comedy-drama's cast members, plus five writers and producers, and the show's creator, Shonda Rhimes, filed onstage at the Director's Guild of America to answer questions from a moderator and audience members following a screening of Rhimes' favorite episode, "Into You Like a Train." "For us, not having a time slot last year, and now all of you watching has been great," Rhimes told the screaming audience, mostly women, at the sold-out event. Patrick Dempsey, who plays neurosurgeon Dr. Derek Shepherd, aka "Dr. McDreamy," sat between his two love interests: Kate Walsh, who plays his wife, Dr. Addison Shepherd, and Pompeo, who is intern Dr. Meredith Grey. It turned out that Dempsey's real-life heartthrob status made an impression on Rhimes herself. Dempsey said he had been "completely terrified" of Rhimes during his original audition because she stared at him, "no expression, no warmth," but Rhimes thought otherwise. "The entire time he was in the room, I thought, `He's so dreamy,'" she said. When asked how the cast resembled its characters, Pompeo grinned and pointed at Dempsey. "I haven't publicly said this before, but I do have a crush on him," Pompeo said. "Well, I have a crush on you, too," Dempsey, who is married to Jillian Fink, shot back, to sighs and whoops from the audience. "I've got a crush on both of you. Maybe we can party," Walsh said, laughing. Prompted by two giggling young women asking about the show's complex couplings, T.R. Knight reflected on his character's recent disastrous sex scene. In that episode, Knight's baby-faced and bumbling Dr. George O' Malley finally gets to consummate his obsession with Meredith, only to see her bawl with regret and confusion. "It wasn't just a `poor George' moment," said Knight, just as fidgety as his character. "Yes, he's loved her from the start, but he wasn't listening to her from the start." The cast's diversity, which writer Krista Vernoff called "revolutionary," also triggered discussion. Chandra Wilson waited to try out for the role of feisty surgeon Dr. Miranda Bailey because the script called for a short, blond woman. But she was perfect, Rhimes said. "In the surgeon world that she's in, Miranda shouldn't necessarily be there," Wilson said, tearing up. "She's a woman and an African-American. And she doesn't worry about any of that. I hope I have some of that in me." Isaiah Washington's role as handsome black surgeon Dr. Preston Burke was originally imagined for a "short, nebbish man," he said. James Pickens Jr. described his role as chief surgeon Dr. Richard Webber as "Cliff Huxtable trapped in bizarro land," and possibly the best part he's ever played. Afterward, as fans lurched toward the stage for autographs, Pompeo mused about the show's popularity. "The chemistry between the cast is very important," she said. "We're a family and have respect for each other. And we have fun, which comes across." ABC |

Sign of Chambers' time By William Keck, USA TODAY HOLLYWOOD In the summer after his freshman year of high school, Grey's Anatomy star Justin Chambers' childhood in Springfield, Ohio, was turned upside down when his parents, Pam and John, both sheriff's deputies, were assigned to investigate two grisly murders on the outskirts of town. Chambers, 35, settles into a corner booth at a hip cafe not far from the Hollywood Hills pad he shares with his restaurateur twin brother, Jason. The actor orders a Cobb salad and a big chocolate milkshake, then opens up about his "mischievous" childhood friend Rodney. A man in the neighborhood thought Rodney and some other kids were stealing from him. "Then one day," he recalls, "the old guy just flipped out and went to my friend's home and shot my friend, his baby brother and their other siblings." Then later that summer, "there was another incident where a woman and her son were butchered by her boyfriend. That's as evil as it gets." Chambers drew upon these mysteries and horrors while playing the role of a protective father/police detective on the trail of the real-life 1960s Zodiac serial killer in the film The Zodiac, opening Friday. (Another film about the same case, called Zodiac, directed by David Fincher and starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Gary Oldman and Robert Downey Jr., will be released later this year.) "I went through a rough spiritual awakening doing this film, asking myself, 'Why does evil happen?' " Chambers says. He confides that the film's twisted subject matter forced him to confront his faith in God. He emerged with a renewed belief in both good and evil. "Evil lurks everywhere," he concludes. "I've met people who have some serious, pathological issues with no conscience. I think God gives everyone a meter, and it's up to you to choose right or wrong." At 18, Chambers left the mostly comforting confines of Springfield for Paris, where he worked as a fashion model. But he spent little time living a life akin to what he calls his "emotionally retarded" Grey's Anatomy playboy rogue, Alex Karev (known in some circles as "evil spawn"). In fact, the line from Grey's theme song, "Nobody knows where they might wake up," has not applied to Chambers since he was 22 and met his wife, Keisha, a former booker for a modeling agency. Chambers' 12-year marriage to Keisha is far more stable than Alex's relationship with Izzie (Katherine Heigl), which the actor says will turn "explosive." During a recent break in filming, he surprised Keisha with a trip to the Turks & Caicos Islands. "It was just us, with this huge spa, on the beach, with no kids," Chambers says. That provided a rare break for Keisha, who has been raising their five children: Isabella, 11, twins Maya and Kaila, 8, Eva, 6, and Jackson, 4 and the family beagle, D'Artagnan, who is named after the lead character Chambers played in The Musketeer in the couple's New York home. "I've been a parent most of my adult life, so I don't know any other way," says Chambers, who has coached his twin girls' soccer team. "But five is enough." With Grey's now a solid hit, the whole brood finally will join him in Los Angeles this summer in a rented house. "I came out here for Grey's Anatomy and didn't know it would be such a success," he says. "When it's over, I'm out! Back in New York, which will always be my home." From: USA Today |

Hey. Chambers was also in Another World. Please, give the show it's credit. Of course he was fired and I cried like a baby because I loved him. When I met him at the superbowl party last month, I told him that... But I don't remember that... I still can't believe he's the father of FIVE kids. That just stuns me. |

Sebring: Patrick Dempsey, Gran Marshal HOLLYWOOD STAR PATRICK DEMPSEY RELISHING DRIVING, N/A - Popular actor Patrick Dempsey, star of ABC's top-rated television drama Grey's Anatomy, is on a short break from his acting responsibilities regarding his portrayal of Dr. Derek Shepherd - a role that earned him nomination for best actor in a drama at this year's Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild awards - to race and serve as Grand Marshal of the 54th running of the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring at Sebring International Raceway (Sebring, Fla.). "It's a privilege to be here, especially this track (Sebring International Raceway) and its 54 years of history," Dempsey said Thursday. "For me to be here and be the Grand Marshal of this race is a tremendous honor. I love the history of the 12 Hours of Sebring, and I think that's part of the joy of it for me. The sense of history and the fact the track hasn't changed too much - it's still very rough." Dempsey literally got a feel for the demands associated with the rough surface of the historic road course track. He hit the ground driving upon his Thursday arrival at Sebring, as before addressing the media he first tested his skill from behind the wheel of a Panoz Esperante GT-RA in preparation for this afternoon's Panoz Racing Series GT race in which he finished 16th. "I really love road racing," Dempsey acknowledged after his first test drive session on the Sebring circuit. "These (drivers) are really all of my idols, and I enjoy being around the track. Each one of the racers that I have been fortunate enough to spend time with have been incredibly generous with their time, energy and knowledge, and I think that says a lot about the American Le Mans Series in general." Dempsey revealed that he is patterning the balance between acting and racing after the example set forth by Paul Newman, acclaimed actor and former competitor at the 12 Hours of Sebring. Dempsey, a Panoz Racing School graduate, has been racing in the Panoz GT Series since 2004. "I got into racing through this organization (Panoz Motor Sports Group)," he said. "Danny and Don (Panoz) have just been wonderfully supportive, and their school has been a wonderful place to learn. Everybody is very open and accommodating, and I really appreciate it." In April, Dempsey will finish production of the first season of Grey's Anatomy and soon afterward begin working on the Disney musical Enchanted with actress Susan Sarandon. Another project near to his heart is a movie about sports car racing that he is slated to do in the near future. "The whole thing is based around the Panoz car and winning the 12-hour race, which I hope happens this weekend," Dempsey said. "So that's in the premise, but we need the proper amount of time to get everything in order and get the script as dramatically stimulating as possible so that people will want to go see it. So I hope this time next year we'll be sitting here with a crew and shooting the movie - that's certainly the goal. We've been very fortunate with the amount of attention that's happened in the last year with the success of the show (Grey's Anatomy). I'm grateful we can parlay that into being able to produce this movie, and we've had great support through the American Le Mans Series and the racers." From: Mortorsport.com |

Grey's Anatomy's, Katherine Heigl, Hits the Big Screen in Los Angeles for Exclusive Movie Event Los Angeles moviegoers will have an exclusive opportunity to see Side Effects, the timely, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the pharmaceutical industry starring Grey's Anatomy's sexy intern Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl). Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 15, 2006 -- Prior to its national DVD release, Los Angeles moviegoers will have an exclusive opportunity to see Side Effects, the timely, behind-the-scenes glimpse into the pharmaceutical industry starring Grey's Anatomy's sexy intern Izzie Stevens (Katherine Heigl). The film will run on the big screen for a last-chance showing from May 12 to 18 at Laemmle's SUNSET 5 located at 8000 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood, 90046. Based on writer/director Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau's decade of experience working as a drug sales rep., Side Effects is a satirical, insider's look at the pill-pushing tactics of the pharmaceutical industry's leading companies. The film has been heralded across the country as a light and entertaining approach to a heavy issue. With Michael Moore's film Sicko due out in fall of 2006, the pharmaceutical industry will have its hands full this year. For me, this is not a witch hunt, says Slattery-Moschkau. It's about accountability, raising awareness, and leveling the playing fieldthe beauty of a free market system. Side Effects reveals the fascinating, and sometimes laughable journey of Karly Hert (Katherine Heigl), a young woman struggling with love, ethics and a discontented career in the pharmaceutical industry. Karly, seduced by the perks and benefits of corporate America, is oblivious to her own value system until she meets Zach Danner (Lucian McAfee), a down-to-earth guy who encourages Karly to walk her talk and leave her empty job. Karly finds out that leaving is never as easy as it seems. Tickets for Side Effects will be available in advance from the Laemmle's SUNSET 5 Website at www.laemmle.com. For more information about the film, or to arrange an interview with local L.A. producer Holly Mosher, or the filmmaker Kathleen Slattery-Moschkau, contact Cari Reisinger of Hummingbird Pictures at (414) 264-1065.

'Grey's' Star Heigl Gets 'Knocked Up' Actress gets in the family way with '40-Year-Old Virgin' team The "40-Year-Old Virgin" guys have swapped Anne Hathaway for "Grey's Anatomy" star Katherine Heigl. The actress has signed up for writer/director Judd Apatow's "Knocked Up," according to The Hollywood Reporter. The project stars "Virgin" actor Seth Rogan as a man who has a one-night stand with a woman (Heigl) and gets her pregnant. Other "Virgin" actors reuniting with their fearless leader are Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann, who's married to Apatow. Hathaway, known for "The Princess Diaries" and "Brokeback Mountain," reportedly left because of creative reasons. She next stars opposite Meryl Streep in the big-screen adapation of "The Devil Wears Prada," hitting theaters in June. Heigl, 27, is best known for playing hot surgical intern Isobel in ABC's chick medical drama "Grey's Anatomy." Before that, she played another Isabel, a teenage alien this time, in the WB's "Roswell." Her big screen credits include "Bride of Chucky," "100 Girls," "Valentine" and "The Ringer" with Johnny Knoxville. From: Zap2It |

Jeffrey Dean Morgan awaits his fate By William Keck, USA TODAY This sort of thing is happening more and more to Jeffrey Dean Morgan: In a restaurant parking lot near the Grey's Anatomy actor's home, a man approaches the actor, telling him, "My wife says you're dying, but you look healthy enough to me." "You can't die," the man's wife pleads to the handsome and unshaven star. "You're too cute to die." This gets a laugh out of Morgan, a Seattle native. The couple is referencing Morgan's most talked-about role - as Grey's heart patient Denny, who has developed a romance with Izzie ( Katherine Heigl) from his hospital bed as he awaits a transplant. (When the next new episode of Grey's airs April 30 at 10 p.m. ET/PT, Denny will be seen standing upright in his own clothes.) This Sunday's Grey's is a compilation episode in which viewers can catch up on his character's story line. Morgan also has appeared twice on Showtime's Weeds (which returns in August), as Mary-Louise Parker's dead husband (via old camcorder footage and fantasy). And he plays the often-MIA dad on WB's Supernatural (Thursday, 9 p.m. ET/PT), a man targeted for death by evil forces. He returned in last night's episode, the first in a season-ending trilogy culminating on May 4. "It's basically Dad and boys hunting what killed my wife and one of their girlfriends, and trying to bring an end to it," says Morgan, who has been in talks about returning next season. His decision to accept or decline Supernatural's offer will depend on what happens today at a table read for the final hour of Grey's three-hour season finale. There, the cast will learn details on the cliffhanger's final moments. "We'll all read it together, and that's when we'll know," he says. Chief among Morgan's concerns: whether Denny will live through to Season 3. And with the actor turning 40 on Saturday, he's hoping he'll have cause to celebrate. "The last decade has been a little rough, so I'm hoping to start this one on the right foot," Morgan says. "I would bend over backward to be back on Grey's. Any day, I'll choose lying in bed with Katherine Heigl looking over me over getting thrown against walls by supernatural persons at 5 in the morning." Despite past regular roles on UPN's The Burning Zone (1996-97) and CBS' The Handler (2004), Morgan is enjoying his first taste of true fame. Casting directors have told him he has reached a level of maturity that makes him hot property. But he still worries it could all end today - literally. As before every table read, Morgan will receive comforting pats on the back from concerned Grey's co-stars who worry that it might be curtains for Denny. He has become particularly close to Heigl. Asked whether off-screen sparks could develop with her, Morgan explains, "Katie's one of my bestest friends - love her to death, but she's got a great boyfriend. ... And you shouldn't date your co-stars. It's never a good idea." He says he speaks from experience. Morgan says he was planning a future with his actress girlfriend of a year and a half when he learned she was involved with another man. "It's a really bad way to go," says the still-stung star. "I'm like Jennifer Aniston - I'm that guy." Morgan says the evening before this interview, he learned the identity of the "other man." So what's Morgan looking for in a mate? "Well," he says, smiling, "someone to laugh with. And fidelity would be nice." From: USA Today |

'Grey's Anatomy' actress Heigl to spend hiatus making a film "Grey's Anatomy" babe Katherine Heigl will be heading straight into shooting the big-screen comedy "Knocked Up" as soon as ABC's megahit reaches its quickly approaching season finale. "It's with Judd Apatow, who did 'The 40-Year-Old Virgin.' I'm the knocked-up one," says Heigl with a laugh. "It's crazy because I have to wear like a big prosthetic belly the whole movie. I'm of age to be having children, but it's just a weird concept to me." The actress, who plays Isobel "Izzie" Stevens on the hit ABC series, admits, "It's a little rough going directly from the show to another project. I wouldn't have minded a little vacation. As grateful as I am to be on the show and as wonderful as it is, at this point, nine months in, I think we're all a little burnt out and tired, and we need some new scenery for a few months. I'm sure we'll be champing at the bit to come back." And what can we expect in "Grey's" upcoming episodes? "There are some big changes, and I'm excited as an actor to play all of this stuff that they are beginning for me, but it's also hard to watch my character go through what she's going through. I don't want to give you more than that or they'll kill me," says Heigl. In the meantime, she's just enjoying the ride. "My career seems to have finally gotten to where I don't have to worry about it so much. It's not as much of a struggle, so I can enjoy it more and relax into what it's become."
