A major scoop from The Hollywood Reporter! Jeffrey Dean Morgan (Denny Duquette) is returning to “Grey’s Anatomy” next season. But wait, isn’t Denny dead !?!
A rep for the show confirmed Morgan’s guest appearance but declined to divulge further details.
A ghostly visit? Izzy having a near death experience? A Twin? Thoughts?
OK Magazine is reporting that Lindsay Lohan returns to the “Ugly Betty” set next week to reprise her guest role as Kimberly, the bully in high school who made Betty miserable. She briefly appeared in a dodge ball flashback in last season’s finale.
Lindsay is expected to film at least 5 episodes for the upcoming season. She’ll be re-entering Betty’s life this year.
Read on for spoilers from “After Dark,” including who is nominated.
Wow it feels like it’s been forever since I posted anything about “Private Practice,” probably because it HAS been forever! Anyway, Ausiello shared a few scoops from the ABC/Private Practice Panel at the ABC Summer Press tour.
First up, the show is going to be less “soap” like and return to more of the medical drama, with focus on the doctors and their work.
David Sutcliffe will return this season. He was a detective interested in Addison, but she was too interested in Tim Daly’s character. So who knows what will happen there.
The Dell-Sam-Naomi triangle will heat up. For those who can’t recall cause it’s been SO long, Dell professed his love for Naomi at the end of the season, while Sam basically told him to stay away from her.
So this week “Project Runway” began their new season, possibly the last season on Bravo. Sixteen hot up and coming designers began the competition for the chance of a lifetime, a spread in Allure Magazine, a 2009 car and 100,000 dollars to start their own clothing line . . . . Whoa I just channeled Heidi Klum!
Okay but for real, the new season premiere . . . . if you missed it don’t worry, something tells me it will be re-run every hour this weekend. Honestly with 16 designers there were just too many names to remember. As always I can’t remember anyone till they get down to at least 10, or someone makes a huge impression on me. Nobody really seemed to stand out, at least not yet.
Speaking of huge impressions, season one’s own Austin Scarlett was back as the guest judge. Their first competition was to shop at Whole Foods and make an outfit from what they bought on a minimal budget. Yes we’ve done this before, as it’s the challenge Austin won with his corn husk dress. The best part of this episode was seeing Austin again and his completely over the top . . . well everything. Seriously, I’d love for them to do a reunion show bringing the best of the best to compete against each other!
Ironically enough the guy who went home (Jerry I think his name was) kept talking about how he was a very successful designer and had his own business for years. Then why are you here? His outfit was horrendous and he had to go. “Your out!”
Over to “Shear Genius,” which I need to actually re-watch (it’s been a theme with me this week). You know it’s a bad thing when the person who gets eliminated is one you don’t really remember, especially when we are about 5 episodes in! I think she was always safe in past challenges, so she was never in the top or bottom three, and never made an impact on me. In this challenge they had to cut and style their client’s hair, but also teach them how to style it on their own for the runway show.

Katherine Heigl will not be killed off or leave “Grey’s Anatomy” next season as rumors have stated. This was confirmed by ABC programming chief Steve McPherson during the current “Summer TV Press Tour.”
She’s absolutely staying with the show,” he (Steve McPherson) says. “There’s an unbelievable storyline for her this year that’s essential to everything that’s going on with the season.

By a vote from 9-1, Brian was evicted. Dan was the sole person who voted for him, and that’s gotta put a target on his back!
The HOH comp was one of those “Majority Rules” quiz competitions and Jesse is the new HOH.
My first thoughts were, Renny and Jerry are going up next week. However if he’s smart, he’ll get stronger players out quicker. Renny and Jerry can be kept around and eliminated later on.

So last night was the power of veto comp and the ceremony. A correction, it looks like Jessie not Jerry won himself the power of veto and took himself off the block.
After the whole house learned that Brian had formed way too many alliances, they confronted Jerry and gave him no choice but to put Brian up, saying they’d put him up next week if he didn’t. Jerry wasn’t sure he even believed them, but he put Brian up saying it was the house’s decision.
Read on for some “After Dark” drama!
