Seriously? OMG! WTF?

Ellen Pompeo, 37, and her boyfriend of nearly three years, Chris Ivery, are engaged, Pompeo’s rep confirms to Us Weekly. Ivery proposed on Friday, which was also the actress’ birthday. Pompeo plays Meredith Grey on the hit ABC medical dramedy Grey’s Anatomy. She has also starred in Old School and Moonlight Mile. Ivery, 38, is a music producer. The couple met in an L.A. grocery store. Though Pompeo wasn’t interested in a date originally, she agreed to go out with Ivery when they bumped into each other again several days later. They discovered that they grew up in Boston 10 miles from each other. "I had to go 3,000 miles away to meet a guy who practically grew up next door," she laughed. "But I guess everything comes full circle."

Imagine what the set will be like with Katherine Heigl and her planning their weddings.

Josh Kelley, 25, a musician and the fiancé of Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl, 27, narrowly escaped with his life after being involved in a major tour bus wreck over the weekend. The singer/songwriter is currently on tour with Five for Fighting, and is scheduled to perform in St. Louis, Missouri, Friday night. No word on whether that concert has been cancelled. Kelley released his third album, Just Say The Word, in July 2006, and has toured with artists such as Third Eye Blind and Counting Crows. Heigl and Kelley have been engaged since June 2006. No wedding date has been set.

Wow, that bus looks majorly mashed up. But the interesting thing is it says is the accident happened this weekend, but she did Ellen Tuesday as if nothing happened?

Another weekly magazine claims this week that there’s “war on the set” of the hit TV show Grey’s Anatomy. But at last night’s Xbox 360 Gears of War launch in LA, Justin Chambers, who plays hunky Dr. Alex Karev on the show, tells us the on-set fight between Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey on Oct. 9 is “water under the bridge.” “It happened awhile ago,” he tells LifeandStylemag.com. “Like any workplace, we spend a lot of time together. Sometimes we get into arguments and sometimes we don’t. We’re a pretty close-knit family. Everything’s smooth now. Everything is fine. We’re all getting along fine.” As for fellow cast member, T.R. Knight’s, decision to come out of the closet, Justin says, “It’s all cool.” “T.R. is a great guy,” Justin says of the actor who plays Dr. George O’Malley. “He felt the need to explain that. It’s his personal life, and God bless him.”

You have to commend all these actors on the show saying that it was a one time deal, but we all know it was not?

Grey’s Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington has issued an apology in a statement exclusive to PEOPLE for his behavior during an on-set argument with costar Patrick Dempsey. "I sincerely regret my actions and the unfortunate use of words during the recent incident on-set," Washington, 43, says in the statement. "Both are beneath my own personal standards. … I have nothing but respect for my coworkers … and have apologized personally to everyone involved." After Washington and Dempsey, 40, clashed on Oct. 9, reports surfaced that Washington had used a homophobic slur during the fracas. Then on Oct. 19, their costar T.R. Knight disclosed to PEOPLE that he is gay. "I’d like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there," he said in a statement, adding, "I hope the fact that I’m gay isn’t the most interesting part of me." Fallout from the turmoil has sparked talk of everything from hasty script rewrites of an impending onscreen fight scene (not true, says show creator Shonda Rhimes) to rumors that Washington would be fired, possibly to be replaced by former ER star Eriq La Salle. "I found (those rumors) not only ridiculous but offensive that we would consider replacing a member of our family," Rhimes tells PEOPLE. "And also the (idea) that one black man was interchangeable with another seemed disturbing to me." Rhimes also dismisses speculation that the mood on the set has been unusually tense. "The mood’s what the mood’s always been," she says. "We have a group of people who are more of a family than anything else. We have our fun days, and we have our days when people are tired and the work is hard."

It will be interesting to see if this will be enough, but I think it might be too little, too late.

One star of ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy is speaking out about an incident on set between Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey that has sparked plenty of rumors. Various reports about the dispute have circulated, but Anatomy’s Katherine Heigl appeared on Ellen DeGeneres’ show Tuesday and played down the incident: "There was some scuffle. … I don’t know what the fight was about. … It was something silly and manly. There was a little burst of testosterone in the room, and then within five minutes … they were totally fine and joking with each other and laughing." Washington was to have taped an interview Tuesday with DeGeneres to appear today, but canceled (citing a change in his production schedule) after Heigl playfully warned DeGeneres to "step back" during Washington’s appearance. DeGeneres responded by saying Washington "better not call me a name … I’ll be swinging." ABC’s Charissa Gilmore emphasizes that Washington’s standing with the show is fine despite the on-set altercation, saying, "We have no intention of replacing Isaiah."
