Heigl says she'll stay if 'Grey's' will have her By LYNN ELBER, AP Television Writer Lynn Elber, Ap Television Writer – Sat Mar 28, 12:48 am ET LOS ANGELES – Katherine Heigl said Friday she's ready to stay with "Grey's Anatomy" and the decision rests with the show. Attending a studio party to mark the ABC medical drama's 100th episode, Heigl said it's premature to think her days as Dr. Izzie Stevens are numbered. "I was assuming that at one point and I got a lot of shrugged shoulders and shakes of the head, so I don't know if that's a yes or a no. No one will tell me and I don't know how this is going to go," Heigl said, noting series creator Shonda Rhimes' passion for plot secrecy. "I don't know if I live or die. I don't know how Izzie fares," said the actress, who's played the character since the show debuted in 2005. "I'm there" if Izzie remains part of "Grey's Anatomy," Heigl said. She called the set "one of my favorite places to be" and said her colleagues are also friends. She and fellow cast members, including Ellen Pompeo (Dr. Meredith Grey) and Patrick Dempsey (Dr. Derek Shepherd), were on hand for the celebration that included a cake decorated with scalpels and syringes made out of icing. Rhimes, who's also an executive producer for the show, called the milestone a "huge accomplishment" and thanked the cast and crew for their efforts. In an interview, she dropped a tantalizing clue about the episode airing May 7. "The only thing I'll tell you about the 100th is that it takes place on Meredith and Derek's wedding day," Rhimes said. "That's big ... and that's all I'm going to say." On Thursday's episode, Izzie was seen surviving brain surgery. There's been speculation that Heigl wants to pursue her blossoming film career ("Knocked Up," the upcoming "The Ugly Truth") full-time, and that her character might be killed off. Rhimes declined comment on what would happen to Heigl's character. Last month, fellow cast member James Pickens Jr. said Heigl was leaving the show, along with T.R. Knight, both of whom declined comment at the time. Knight missed the studio party because he'd previously scheduled the day off, an ABC spokeswoman said. On Friday, Heigl said she's comfortable balancing movies and TV by working on big-screen projects during the summer hiatus for "Grey's Anatomy." "I'm more than happy to make that compromise. As my agent likes to say, 'High-class problems,'" Heigl said. "I don't know if I want to continue for five years working 12 months a year, but I can take at least another year or two," she said. Dempsey said he intends to fulfill the remaining two years on his contract with "Grey's Anatomy and "then we'll see what happens after that." |

...But seriously Heigl was one of the reasons why I quit GA. Seeing her and George die was a thing of beauty, please Shonda tell the bitch NO. |

T.R. Knight Rumors Ripped as "Ridiculous," "False" and "B.S." Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes is nipping in the bud talk that the role of George — who last was seen barely alive after being mauled, mangled and mashed in a bus accident — will be recast with a new actor. "A hilarious, ridiculous rumor" is how Rhimes, via Twitter, qualified the speculation. Getting someone new to play a surgically made-over George would conveniently pave the way for T.R. Knight to vacate the role and exit the ABC serial, as has been rumored for many, many months. The increasingly dusty buzz has been that Knight's disenchantment with his Season 5 storylines begat his conspicuously decreased screen time... which, in turn, is said to have disenchanted Knight even further. Now, E! Online is reporting that Knight just this week negotiated his departure from Grey's — a neat trick, seeing as he's still on contract through Season 6, if needed. "That story is utterly false," one well-placed source tells TVGuide.com. "Nothing at all has changed in T.R.'s status." A second industry insider deems the aforementioned blog posting as "total B.S." Rhimes herself recently told EW.com, "There have been lots of rumors about T.R., but T.R.'s never said anything. Take from it what you will." ABC entertainment boss Stephen McPherson also has weighed in on the uncertain future of Knight's character, as well as Katherine Heigl's ailing Izzie. "They've both signed on [for next season]," he told reporters at ABC's upfront. "I can't say whether or not they'll both be there." Reps for ABC and Knight declined to comment for this story. |

I really hope George dies - and none of this appearing as a "ghost" bullshit, either! |

i hope they both die. I love them as a couple. which is why i don't wanna see one of them live. If George lives, he's face will be forever fuged up. And Izzie will be with Alex. Both die, they both end up together. |
