wtlfanPersonal stylists are an easy line item to cut in the dwindling budgets of movie studios and major networks. (’Member when Ms. Johansson reportedly missed the Cannes premiere of Vicky Cristina Barcelona after the studio wouldn’t pay for her $4,000-a-day makeup artist?) “Ellen Pompeo and I had lunch a couple of weeks ago,” said Mr. Bloch. “And she said ABC gave her $500 for hair, makeup and stylist to go on Letterman to promote the next season of Grey’s Anatomy—that ain’t gonna cut it!” (An ABC spokesperson said they do not comment on hair and makeup budget for its actors.)
But sacrificing these hardworking fashion advisers, as Mr. Bloch pointed out in Ms. Lively’s case, is not always a good idea.
“I think people who have worked with stylists believe they have learned enough that they can step out on their own,” said Robert Verdi, who’s made a career of critiquing celebrity style. “But it’s like having some legal issue pending and going to court and defending yourself because you took a few legal classes versus going with a lawyer. Which one do you think will have a better outcome?”
wtlfanThe sixth-season premiere of Grey's Anatomy begins shooting on July 15, which casting directors are now looking for actors to play the guest roles.
One role in particular listed in the Anatomy season premiere casting call may catch fans' eyes: Producers are looking for someone to play a Catholic priest in his 60s.
Could this possibly mean that Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) are finally getting married? Or could someone be receiving last rites—like perhaps Dr. George O'Malley, since actor T.R. Knight is not returning for season six? Hmmm...

ABC/ERIC MCCANDLESSWhich Grey's Anatomy castmember might be appearing less than usual on season six of the hit ABC drama? Is an original Gossip Girl pairing over for good? And when will the Stackhouse siblings finally reconnect on True Blood? We've got that scoop and much more in this week's all-new Spoiler Chat:
Amanda in Miami: Since Grey's Anatomy is dropping castmembers like flies, any chance Melissa George could return as Sadie Harris?
"I don't think so," Melissa tells us of a possible return engagement for Sadie on Grey's Anatomy. "I think she did so much damage that she needs to go." If Sadie's a no-go, hit the comments with who else you would want to see return in her place.
Grace: Has Grey's Anatomy figured out how they're going to work around Ellen Pompeo's maternity leave yet?
Erm. Grey's is such a hairy show to report on. We'll tell you this, and maybe you'll forgive us for taking the long way around. A source tells us that ABC didn't want Rachel Griffiths (who gave birth to her third child on June 21) to skip any episodes of Brothers & Sisters and that production was pushed back a week to accommodate her maternity leave. What does that mean for Grey's? Well, if ABC doesn't want a Griffiths-less B&S, you could assume (just assume) that they really wouldn't want a Pompeo-less Grey's Anatomy. Pompeo's due this fall though, so there would be no real way to push back production. Solution? Well, we're just spit-balling ideas here, because no one's confirming anything, but you could do what our source tells us is a possible scenario for dealing with Ellen Pompeo's maternity leave: When E.P. gets back from her baby break, shoot a bunch of Meredith Grey scenes in succession, and then have your editors work overtime to slot her scenes into the episodes that were shot/produced before her return, therefore giving the audience the full Meredith Grey experience with no gaps.
Cal in Orlando, Fla.: Is it true that Chandra Wilson will be directing an episode of Grey's Anatomy this season?
Yep, sources confirm that Chandra Wilson will be directing an episode of Grey's Anatomy this season, although we've actually heard that another actor was negotiating to direct an episode of Grey's Anatomy this season, as well as make a couple of other tweaks to his/her contract to allow him/her more creative and personal freedom.

DAYTONA BEACH -- Race fans had a great night under the lights at Daytona International Speedway for the Coke Zero 400 Saturday, but fans who went to the track earlier in the day got a special treat.
Among the drivers in the Brumos Porsche 250 Saturday afternoon was TV and movie star Patrick Dempsey.
Dempsey drove the No. 40 El Grado Tequila Mazda RX-8 in the Rolex Sports Car Series race Saturday, and ran as high as fourth place in the race at one point.
Co-driver Joe Foster eventually took over, but was slowed after an encounter with a Daytona Prototype and finished 11th, ending a streak of six consecutive top 10 finishes.
Following the race, Dempsey talked with News 13 about what it’s like to race at Daytona, how he juggles family, filming and racing, and what life may hold after “Grey’s Anatomy.”

Dempsey Strong In First Stint In No. 40 El Grado Tequila Mazda RX-8 Before Foster Gets Punted
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (July 6, 2009) -- Dempsey Racing's Patrick Dempsey and Joe Foster finished 11th in the Brumos Porsche 250 At Daytona for the second consecutive year after a hot and at times frustrating Fourth of July Saturday race in the No. 40 El Grado Tequila Mazda RX-8.
Although the team's two-month old Top-10 streak came to an end, the drivers and all on the Dempsey Racing team left Daytona knowing they had a better race and car than the results showed. Starting driver Dempsey raced solidly in the top five in the opening stint and was even scored as high as second as the field cycled through pit stops within the race's first 45 minutes.

Katherine Heigl's husband gets jealous when she kisses her co-stars.
The 30-year-old actress has revealed musician Josh Kelley hated watching her sexy scenes with Gerard Butler in upcoming film 'The Ugly Truth'.
When asked if Josh was comfortable with her getting intimate with the Scottish actor, Katherine said: "No, not really. It's not his favourite part of the profession but I told him, 'It's my job, and if I feel uncomfortable doing my job, and it suffers because of it, I'll kill you.' "

wtlfanDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (July 4, 2009) - For the second straight year, Alex Gurney lost a heartbreaker in the Brumos Porsche 250 at Daytona International Speedway. Max Angelelli held off a last-lap charge to win Round 7 of the 2009 Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series presented by Crown Royal Cask No. 16, winning by .270 seconds - the fifth-closest finish in the history of the series.
Angelelli, who also won this event in 2004, co-drove with Brian Frisselle in the No. 10 SunTrust Ford Dallara. Angelelli led the final 33 of the 70 laps to give the team its first victory since Infineon Raceway in August 2008, and allowed the two drivers to close to within one point of Daytona Prototype leaders Scott Pruett and Memo Rojas (199-198). Gurney and Jon Fogarty are another two points back with 196.
Patrick Dempsey ran as high as fourth in the No. 40 El Grado Tequila Mazda RX-8. Co-driver Joe Foster then took over but was slowed after an encounter with a Daytona Prototype and finished 11th, ending a streak of six top-10 finishes.

Katherine Heigl always thinks she looks good.
The 'Knocked Up' actress - who is often voted one of the world's most beautiful women - is confident with her appearance whenever she goes out but soon changes her mind when she sees paparazzi shots taken of her.
She said: "I always assume I look better than I actually do. I'll feel pretty good about myself when I leave the house, then I'll see a picture and think, 'C**p, I had no idea that's what I was looking like.' "
Katherine - who shot to fame in US medical drama 'Grey's Anatomy' - also admits she has become a lot more confident with age and has realised her strength as a woman.
The 30-year-old beauty explained to Britain's Marie Claire magazine: "I'm not out burning bras, but I'm very opinionated about women owning their power. I look back at my twenties and see that I was much less confident. You repress how you really feel because society tells us what women think isn't valid, that we're frivolous and shallow."
wtlfanwtlfanwtlfanwtlfanABC has acquired the U.S. rights to Gravity, a 13-episode international co-production described by one of its producers as "Grey's Anatomy in Space," according to the Hollywood Reporter. Indeed one of its executive producers, the trade paper reports, is James Parriott, whose credits include Grey's Anatomy.
Gravity will tell the story of a multi-national team of eight astronauts, who undertake a six-year mission in space. Although its base is science fiction, the story will be told in "a female-friendly way," according to David Madden, whose company is one of the producers of the series, which also will air in Great Britain, Germany and Canada.
ABC will schedule Gravity some time this summer, the Hollywood Reporter says.

Fans have been doing double-takes as “Grey’s Anatomy” co-stars and off-screen pals T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl have been spotted dining around town.
As viewers of the hit ABC drama will recall, the fates of Knight’s Dr. George O’Malley and Heigl’s Dr. Izzie Stevens were left hanging on the show’s season finale. Knight won’t be back; Heigl will.
Off screen, things are much less dire for the pair. First, they were spotted dining with friends at Aria in Buckhead.
The duo also lunched at the Flying Biscuit Cafe at the Terminus Building in Buckhead where they happily signed autographs for starstruck fans.
Heigl has been in town shooting the feature film “Five Killers” with Ashton Kutcher.
