Woo – that Grey's Anatomy set is such a whirlpool of excitement that sometimes it's hard to keep up. After all the fighting and coming out from Grey's Anatomy stars recently, it must've been hard for the other stars to top it.
But that's what Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo has gone and done. After the screaming adrenaline rush double-header of two Grey's Anatomy stars having a bit of a girly shoving match and then another one announcing to the world that he's gay, Ellen Pompeo has done the unthinkable and… got engaged. To a bloke she's been going out with for three years. And a wedding date hasn't been set yet. Oh.
Forget your Losts and your CSIs and your I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Heres, there's only one place where you can see excitement on a phenomenally mind-bending level, and that's Grey's Anatomy. Obviously not Grey's Anatomy itself – that remains a namby-pamby ultra-bland medical drama that sends most right-minded people to sleep the instant they switch it on – but the Grey's Anatomy set, where everyone either hates each other or loves boys. Or gets engaged to their long-term partner who we've never heard of.
All the Grey's Anatomy fun started back last month when it was reported that actors Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey had a Grey's Anatomy actor-fight which – despite probably being nothing more than some actorly chest-puffing, an exchange of weedy insults and a possible girlish choking incident – was still the most exciting thing that had ever happened to anyone even vaguely involved with Grey's Anatomy. Isaiah Washington eventually apologised for causing the fight and that was that, although Grey's Anatomy attracted more attention a few days later when the gay-seeming Grey's Anatomy doctor shockingly announced to the world that he was gay in a move that directly preempted the demise of Doogie Howser's secret gayness.
And now just to top it all off is the news that Ellen Pompeo, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey – the doctor whose anatomy Grey's Anatomy presumably concerns itself with – has got herself engaged, as ABC News reports:
"Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo and her boyfriend, record producer Chris Ivery, are engaged, Pompeo's publicist confirmed Monday. Ivery, 38, proposed to the actress on Friday, her 37th birthday, after breakfast at home, publicist Jennifer Allen told The Associated Press. The Boston-area natives, who have been dating for three years, have not yet set a wedding date, Allen said.
Yeah, now top that Sandra Oh.
