Justin has been back home in LA from his vacation in Hawaii for over a week now. Pics of him doing some shopping in Maui have been added to the gallery.

Maui, Hawaii – June 22

Justin returns to work for season 7 of Grey’s Anatomy on Monday (July 12) when the read through for the first episode is scheduled according to Krista Vernoff (Grey’s writer and producer). The season 7 premiere will be on September 23rd.

In the meantime, here’s an interview with Justin at the CA SPAY event he attended almost a month ago. Justin’s face during the portions where the interviewer is talking makes me .

FYI, the smart dog that Justin mentions he adopted three years ago is Cha Cha. She was adopted from Ruff HouZen Rescue and this a pic of when she was adopted (click on the pic to see bigger):

Byrd hit the screening of Norman at the Celestial Cinema outdoor theater with the movie’s director Jonathan Segal. Earlier, they enjoyed dinner at Gannon’s restaurant with a group that included Zac Efron, director Kenny Ortega and Justin Chambers, who was in town for the premiere of director Andrew Goodman’s short, The Happiest Man Alive.

Katherine Heigl may be gone from Grey’s Anatomy, but she’s certainly not forgotten.

“I miss her all the time,” Justin Chambers told me at the Maui Film Festival. “She’s such a great actor. She’s so fun to work off of. I miss working with her.”

But that doesn’t mean, we’ve heard the last of their onscreen romance…

As fans of the show know, Alex (Chambers) called out for Izzie (Heigl) when he was shot in the abdomen during the season finale.

“I think that’s a couple on television that people will always remember,” Chambers said. “There’s not much Alex without her. I think he’ll be mourning Izzie for the next two seasons.”

Chambers also defended Heigl against her critics. “She admits that she has a mouth on her, but she’s got a heart much bigger than her mouth,” he said. “It’s so unfair because I think people have taken her the wrong way. She’s actually a good person. She’s very funny and very kind.”

Chambers was in Maui for the premiere of The Happiest Man Alive, a short in which he stars as a not-so-happy office worker. He signed onto the project after meeting director Andrew Goodman at the film fest last year. “Andrew was talking about how he wanted to make a short and I said, ‘Dude, I’ll make a short with you,’” Chambers said. “And we shook hands and we made it.”

And with rumors that Patrick, too, may want out when his contract is up, one actor is already campaigning hard to be Lexie’s Lil’ McDreamy: Jesse Williams (Jackson). “That’s because those two get along like gangbusters,” says Rhimes. “But I think Justin [Chambers] would fight him for that, because he wants the exact same thing.”
