★ Finally, actress Kerry Washington (Scandal) posted a cool BTS video she recorded from her POV at the photo shoot. There is a good shot of Justin around the 0:24-0:27s mark. 😉

★ In the Sept/Oct issue of BELLA New York magazine, Camilla Luddington is interviewed and she tells a cute story about the first time she met Justin on the set of ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ This is what she said:

A super-fan of “Grey’s,” Luddington was not only excited to join the cast in the role of Dr. Jo Wilson but says she was even more elated to learn her character’s love interest was Alex Karev (played by Justin Chambers). She recalls their first meeting a few days before their first scene together. “Justin stopped by my trailer and broke the ice when he said, ‘I hear you’re my new girlfriend.’” With a similar response, Luddington says he was so sweet in the initial meeting and remembers thinking “thank God he is so nice!”

 
★ A member of the Grey’s crew tweeted this behind-the-scenes pic of Justin shooting the scene where Alex gets in a fight with Shane Ross in episode 10.13 “Take It Back.”

★ Variety published an article about season 12 of Grey’s Anatomy with some quotes from executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Debbie Allen. It’s an interesting read for those who like spoilers.
Below is an excerpt and the full article can be read at the link.

‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Season 12: More Sex, Romance & Tequila When Show Returns

“Grey’s Anatomy” returns Sept. 24 with its 12th season, and when the new episodes begin, the ABC medical drama is going back to its roots.

Season 11 said goodbye to Patrick Dempsey’s Dr. Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd, and the new season picks up three months after the finale and will be lighter in tone. In fact, romance is in the air for Season 12.

“We’ll just say that we are giving new life to sexy over 50,” Debbie Allen, who plays the newly married Dr. Catherine Avery, tells Variety of her ignited relationship with Dr. Richard Webber (James Pickens Jr). “We have a very hot relationship. Richard has got her busy.”

The newlyweds are just one of the show’s central duos whose love life will be on full display. A source close to the show says there is a lot of dating, flirting and sex in the new episodes, which are a bit of a throwback to the beginning of the series when MDs were regularly shacking up in the on-call rooms, or Mer (Ellen Pompeo) and Der (Dempsey) met via a one-night stand.

Alex (Justin Chambers) and Jo (Camilla Luddington) are living together in their new loft; Owen (Kevin McKidd) and Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) are exploring whether they’re just friends or friends with benefits, which a source close to the show playfully compares to a high school couple making out all the time; and Callie (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona (Jessica Capshaw) are still apart, but their friendship will take on an entirely new level of maturity because they both start dating new people.

 
★ James Pickens Jr. who we all know as Dr. Richard Webber, joined Twitter (@therealjpickjr) and Instagram (therealjamespickens) this week and he posted some photo from Wednesday’s table read for Grey’s 250th episode! Below is the photo Justin is in. Check out other photos at James’s Instagram.

Another awesome surprise today! The casts of Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, producers Betsy Beers, Pete Nowalk and, of course, Shonda Rhimes, got together for a Shondaland photo shoot last May that will be featured in Time Inc.’s publications – People, Entertainment Weekly and ESSENCE.
