★ We’re now about a month away from the midseason premiere of Grey’s Anatomy, and a few articles have come out talking about what happens with Meredith. I won’t post what the articles say here, but I’ll leave the links for those who want to check them out: TV Line, Entertainment Weekly, E! Online (includes video).

 
★ Grey’s actors Kevin McKidd (Dr. Owen Hunt) and Martin Henderson (Dr. Nathan Riggs) did a Q&A during ABC’s day at the TCA Winter Press Tour on Saturday. One of the questions was “Who is the biggest prankster on set?” Check out their answer below (full Q&A can be seen here).

 
★ Justin was at the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz game at the Staples Center on Sunday. A fan spotted him and took this pic.

Wow. This update took me hours to make. It’s all about the People’s Choice Awards this time!

★ I noticed that I had never added photos from the 33rd Annual People’s Choice Awards in 2007 to the gallery, so I had to dig them up from my archive. FYI, Grey’s Anatomy won Favorite TV Drama that year. Photos from the red carpet, show, press room and official portrait are at the links below.

★ Nine years later, Justin attended the 42nd Annual People’s Choice Awards last Wednesday, January 6. I did a rewatch of the PCAs and made some screencaps of Justin seated in the audience and later onstage when the cast of Grey’s Anatomy accepted the award for Favorite Network TV Drama.

★ Now to the photos from the event. I have divided the photos into different albums to make it easier to check them out. Photos include red carpet arrival, show, backstage, press room, photo booth/official portraits + bts. I have also included the selfies taken by the cast and posted on Instagram that night.

It’s still going strong 12 seasons later! Grey’s Anatomy won the 2016 People’s Choice Award for Favorite Network TV Drama! Check out one of the official portraits with the cast that attended the awards:

Left to Right: Jerrika Hinton, Chandra Wilson, Camilla Luddington, Ellen Pompeo (winner of the PCA for Favorite Network TV Actress), James Pickens, Jr., Kelly McCreary, Justin Chambers, Caterina Scorsone, Sarah Drew.

Unfortunately, Justin lost the award for Favorite Dramatic TV Actor to Taylor Kinney (Chicago Fire). Regardless of that, congratulations to Justin on his nomination and congratulations to the cast and crew of Grey’s Anatomy for all its success.

There’s a lot to update with between social media and professional pics. I’ll be working on it, so look out for that. 🙂

Right now, check out the moment ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ won the 2016 PCA for Favorite Network TV Drama below.

★ The People’s Choice Awards (PCAs) revealed that Justin will be attending the show this Wednesday, January 6th at 9/8c on CBS!

The PCAs posted a pic of seat cards and in it we see Justin’s seat card along with his Grey’s Anatomy cast mates Ellen Pompeo, Chandra Wilson and James Pickens, Jr.

 
★ Also, a new pic was posted on Justin’s Instagram account featuring his pitbull Zucchero with a ‘Happy 2016’ caption.

In 2015, Giorgio Armani celebrated 40 years in the fashion industry. Justin worked several times for the Armani label during his career as a professional model. The collage below features some of Justin’s work for Emporio Armani from 1992 to 2003.

You can check out these pics and more in the photo shoots category of the gallery. I will be updating the Armani modeling pics in the gallery in 2016 so look out for that. 😉

For now, enjoy this Throwback Thursday with a warm congratulations to Mr. Armani for 40 years of success.

★ TV Fanatic recently published its midseason report card for season 12 of Grey’s Anatomy. Justin’s character, Alex, once again got singled out as the character who deserves more screentime. Alex proposing to Jo was chosen as the most surprising cliffhanger.
Read on to see what they had to say about Alex and click the link to see the full report card.

Grey’s Anatomy Season 12 Midseason Report Card

Character Who Deserves More Screentime: I can’t wait for the day when Alex Karev stops being chosen as most underutilized character, but that day just hasn’t come yet. We love Alex Karev, but too often, he’s a side character rather than one who gets the focus. Based on the cliffhanger at the end of ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 12 Episode 8, though, it seems like this issue may be remedied when the series returns from hiatus.

Most Surprising Cliffhanger: Alex proposed to Jo on the night that she decided to tell him she was leaving. Jo has been struggling with the fact that Alex rarely seems to put her first, which is only exacerbated by Alex’s close friendship with Meredith. But the closeness and the secrets that were driving Jo crazy? That’s because Meredith had been holding on to the engagement ring for Alex. When he does propose, it’s beautiful. Of course, that’s a mid-season finale for you, and we won’t get the answer until ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 12 returns.

 
★ Over at EMGN, they published a list of the 15 awesome TV characters that weren’t the main character. Alex Karev is on their list. Check it out:

15 Awesome TV Characters That Weren’t The Main Character

Alex Karev starts out as the ultimate D-bag. Then he turns into the heartbreaker. Then viewers start liking him because they learn his backstory and find out about his crazy mother and then there’s the whole Ava thing… Then everyone hates him again – but then the Izzy thing happens. Anyway, long story short: thank you, Justin Chambers, for the many facets of Alex Karev and making him one of the best and intriguingly diverse characters on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’.

 
★ Last week, on Christmas Eve, a couple of fans ran into Justin at Amoeba Music store in Hollywood and took this pic with him.

Here are some videos that are perfect for an update during the holiday season. 🌟 🎄 🎅
