Grey’s Anatomy is copying another medical show Scrubs and doing a musical episode. Show creator Shonda Rhimes sang like a bird to TV Guide and here is what she told them.
TVGuide.com: What else can you say about the storyline?
Rhimes: The storyline is in very early stages. We’re not going to have an episode where you turn on the television and people are singing for no reason. It has a reason, there’s a story underneath it and there’s a point to the whole thing. I’m still nervous about it, because you can do something like this and it can come out not the way you intended. I have been working on this very carefully because I want it to still be our show, but also heighten it.
TVGuide.com: Are you afraid it might be too risky for the show?
Rhimes: No, we’re not doing what anybody would call a typical musical episode. The comparisons to other musical episodes are too great, and we wanted it to be different. Nobody is going to be dancing and singing down the halls; that’s not our show. Our show is known for its music. I very much wanted to do something that was musical without being a musical.
TVGuide.com: So, what sort of music will we hear in the episode?
Rhimes: Part of the way I figured out that we could do this was to take the songs that our show has made iconic and have them be sung by our cast members, as opposed to singing Broadway songs or singing some songs by a known artist. We’re simply singing songs that Grey’s Anatomy has made famous. I don’t want to talk about any particular songs yet because we’re still in the process of clearing everything. But when [executive producer] Betsy Beers and I sat down to make the list, we joked that we have too many songs that we could use. It became about picking the most iconic ones, the ones that best suited our singers, and the ones that made the most sense.
Sounds like she is desperate to me and that is why she is doing the episode. Glee is the hot show and Grey’s is just warm. The show that used to be one of the top rated shows every week didn’t even finish in the Top 20 last week. It was #21 and Glee was #20, so she seriously needs to create buzz for her show otherwise it will become a ghost like Denny.
Before Tim Burton was known for his movie magic, he played Houdini in his own short Houdini: The Untold Story. Can you believe that 18 year old starring in his own 1976 short is the same man we know today?
Craig Ferguson is the Late King of innuendos, but even he couldn’t handle The Doctors’ Lisa Masterson when she openly talked about sex and masturbation with him on The Late Late Show. I loved seeing the not-so-shy host get all flustered as he talked to the gynecologist. I love his reaction when he finds out that a man can break his penis. I guess he missed that episode of The Drew Carey Show, you know the show he was on before he had his own late night show.
Make sure to watch the whole interview because Craig finally gets to one up her at the end and do one of his famous innuendos!
I hope that she is back on the show again real soon! But until then watch Craig weeknights on CBS at 12:37a and see what no so clean things come out of his dirty mouth!!!
Back in 2005 ABC introduced us to Dancing with the Stars, yesterday they debuted Skating with the Stars and coming up they will have Zamboni-ing Over the Stars. Jimmy Kimmel Live aired the sneak peek of the show and I freaking can’t wait for it. I wonder who the “Stars” are going to be!!! I know who I want to see on the show and under the Zamboni! Who do you want to see compete on that show?
BTW tune into Jimmy Kimmel Live at 12:06a on ABC to see if he will finally get to talk to Bristol Palin. Even though Jennifer Grey has been pick since week 1, I think he would rather interview Sarah Palin’s daughter who is star because she is a teen mom.
And on that note, I can understand that Bristol Palin has not seen the movie nor the play Chicago because she was too young when it came out and she lives in Alaska and has a baby to raise. But what was Mark Ballas’ excuse? His dance had nothing to do with the song which was about the women in the prison singing about the men that done them wrong? C’mon Mark it was bad enough when you f*cked up The Monkees theme, now you had to mess with Chicago. Is he doing this because he just wants Bristol out???
BTW at 3:12 in the below video, is just me or did Mark and Bristol simulate what the teen activist did with Levi Johnston the night made Tripp? You know wham, bam, thank you mam because that is as much stamina as most 17 year old boys have that age…

Katy Perry and Russell Brand have been married for about a month now and looking at them with Justin Bieber I wonder if they have adopted their first Baby? Looking at the way they are playing with the 16 year old 4-time AMA winner, it looks like they are ready to take him home with them and change his diaper. I think Justin likes the Love he is getting from his California Dream, but he it looks like he wants anyone to Get Him to the Greek or as far away from Brand as possible!
