There's nothing like a punch-up at a wedding, so you'd expect that the wedding of Ellen Pompeo from Grey's Anatomy – the fightiest show on TV – would end up looking like a deleted scene from 300, wouldn't you.
Sadly, nothing of the sort took place on Friday when Ellen Pompeo married her boyfriend Chris Ivery in New York. In fact, Ellen Pompeo's wedding was so low-key that not even Ellen Pompeo's own father knew of it until after it happened. But can you blame Ellen Pompeo for keeping it a secret? After all, with the bickering and fighting on the Grey's Anatomy set of late, Ellen must've been worried that her co-stars would have used chunks of human flesh as confetti if they'd have been invited. Plus the last thing anyone wants at their wedding is for Isaiah Washington to punctuate the vicar's "Does anyone here present know of any reason…" speech by shrieking the word "FAGGOT!"
More than a year has passed since the set of Grey's Anatomy was turned into the sort of screaming brawling mess you'd normally expect to see outside a Basingstoke Irish theme pub at closing time, and yet the aftershocks are still being felt.
This could be because of the way it was dealt with – after apparent fight-instigator Isaiah Washington was sacked from the show for screaming the word 'faggot' at then-closeted co-star TR Knight, he kept banging on about it until July – or it could be because Grey's Anatomy is such a terribly anaemic self-help bag of utter tittery that an amateurish, five-second-long shoving match is still the most exciting thing the show has ever produced.
That is, until now. That's because Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo – not the one from Knocked Up or the homophobic one or the gay one or the one from Sideways or the one with the nice hair; the one who's like an even more annoying Renee Zellweger – has got married. That's right, married. To a man. In a building. You might want to take a couple of seconds to get used to the magnitude of this.
According to reports, Ellen Pompeo's marriage to music producer Chris Ivery was a total surprise to everyone who didn't already know that Ellen Pompeo was engaged. Not only that but Ellen Pompeo's wedding was an ultra low-key event too, being held in the little-known and hard-to-find New York City Hall and with witnesses including famous recluse Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York – although he was probably just angling to follow-up his Sex And The City role with a cameo on Grey's Anatomy that allowed him to barge into an operating theatre and shout "I thought I was your boyfriend!" at the surgeon just like everyone else bloody does on the show.
Anyway, despite being held in one of the most famous buildings on Earth with the mayor of one of the most famous cities on Earth as a witness, Ellen Pompeo still wanted to keep things so low-key that she didn't actually tell her Dad about it. Which would probably shine a light on what seems to be the troubled, complex relationship between Ellen Pompeo and her father which we're sure we'd look into if we even gave half a mouse's fart about Ellen Pompeo in the first place.

Enough!!!! Get over it already!
It is writers like you that keep on perpetuating hate in our society and misinforming with wrong accounts of an an incident that is clearly between the parties involved. Everybody has moved on, so should you the press. Stop trying to gain cheap publicity for the trash you call articles that you put out there on the web.
If tolerance is what you want to promote then start with yourself and stop beating a dead horse. It is truly pathetic!
Don’t you have anything to say about James Caan???? Huh!

Who said anything about wanting tolerance? Besides, this is public domain type of news, ergo it is ours to pick apart.

I have something to say about James Caan: I haven’t really thought about James Caan since the last time I saw The Godfather. That is such a good movie.
