Another Baby on the Way for Chris O'Donnell and Wife Filed under ( Ann Curry, Caroline Fentress, Chris O'Donnell, Grey's Anatomy, the Today Show )

And if you're keeping track, this would make baby no. 5. The Grey's Anatomy actor let the news casually slip during a recent interview with Ann Curry on the Today Show. Ann asked about the couple's four kids and he said there's "another on the way," and exchange high-fives with Anne.

"Yeah, we're just starting to figure out how it works. I think I know why this is happening, but we're really excited about it," he joked.

Chris has been married to his wife Caroline Fentress since 1997. Their four kids are Lily, Chip, Charlie and Finley, ages 7 to 16 months.

Chyler Leigh has been added as a full-time staffer at Seattle Grace. She has made brief appearances as Meredith's half-sister, but reps at ABC Studios have confirmed that she is now going to be a series regular with the start of the new Fall season. Guess they had a little slush fund money leftover with the permanent departure of Isaiah Washington.

Where there's smoke, there's fire. Ever since actor Isaiah Washington mouthed off more than once, there have been rumors swirling that his time on ABC's hit medical drama Grey's Anatomy was limited. Turns out, the rumors were right.

An ABC Studios spokesperson confirmed yesterday that the actor's contract option has not been picked up.

Washington's rep, Howard Bragman, confirmed the news, saying that the show's executive producer Shonda Rhimes told him earlier yesterday that he was not being invited back to the show. In a statement, Washington, referencing the iconic line from Network, said, "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore."

Alrighty then.

Grey's Anatomy's Sara Ramirez is Singing a New Song Filed under ( Grey's Anatomy, Sara Ramirez, Spamalot, T.R. Knight )

Sara Ramirez, who plays T.R. Knight's wife on the hit show Grey's Anatomy, has just signed a record deal. “All I can say is that Eric Idle and John Du Prez, who were the writers of Spamalot, are writing the album,” Ramirez told TV Guide at the Step Up Inspiration Awards where she was honored recently for mentoring young girls.

She won't even tell us what type of music it will be, but the Tony Award-winning actress who signed a contract with Universal Music Group plans to record the album when she goes on break from her Grey's Anatomy job.

In the meantime, Sara let loose on a few details behind the George, Callie and Izzie love triangle. “Callie is just showing up doing her job, oblivious to everything,” says Ramirez. Will she leave George? “I think she knows her relationship with George is in sort of a delicate place,” she hints. “But she’s a strong lady. She knows what she wants so I’m sure she’ll go to any lengths to get it!”

“Am I back next season?” she asks with a laugh. “Maybe. This character’s just been so much fun to play. Acting with this group of people has been a master class in episodic television. For now, I’m just enjoying the ride.”

Katherine Heigl Lands Another Movie Deal Filed under ( Anne Fletcher, Grey's Anatomy, Katherine Heigl, Step Up )

And given the recent brou-haha over her salary at Grey's Anatomy, it's good for her to branch out, lest she find herself out of a job. Actress Katherine Heigl is going to be starring in the romantic comedy 27 Dresses, as a single woman who has been a bridesmaid ... wait for it ... 27 times.

The director, Anne Fletcher (of Step Up) had this to say, "Katherine is beautiful, so the fact that [her character] can't get a man is shocking! But it's not about her beauty; it's about what she thinks of herself."

Production is set to begin in New York and Rhode Island in May when Katherine goes on hiatus from Grey's Anatomy.
