From Shonda Rhimes’ Twitter account:

Nothing we didn’t already know. 😉

Shonda also said the cast photo shoot for the season 7 promo pics will be happening this weekend.

• I mentioned a few weeks back that Justin would be one of several actors taking part in “The Road Ahead“, a benefit supporting the El Camino College Foundation. We now have more info on the event:

  THE ROAD AHEAD
  Saturday, September 25, 2010 – 7:30 pm
  El Camino College Campus Theatre
  Tickets – $150 each

  For more info on the event and to purchase tickets head over to: elcaminocollegefoundation.org

• The last charity event Justin attended was “An Evening With Angels (pics at the gallery ) benefiting the Elevate Hope Foundation which provides therapy through music and the arts to abused and neglected children. This is what Justin had to say about the cause:

  “Grey’s Anatomy” stars James Pickens Jr. and Justin Chambers served as co-host and presenter respectively, both hearing of the foundation and event through friend Sheila E.

  “Sheila E is a friend, and it’s a great cause, an interesting cause,” Chambers told LA’s The Place. “They’re not giving [kids] a teddy bear, they’re giving them some real help through music, and that is always beneficial.”

• On to Grey’s Anatomy news. In a recent interview, Grey’s newcomer, actress Sarah Drew, says Justin has become one of her closest friends on the set. Interview can be read at Fancast.
• Finally, TV Guide has an article up with some quotes from the cast (Justin included) with spoilers on the next season. I won’t copy what is said because some may want to remain spoiler-free but for those wanting to see what Justin has to say about Alex’s third nipple ( sort of 😉 ) among other things, click on the link: TV Guide.

I put together a clip with the Grey’s Anatomy scenes that aired on Entertainment Tonight (promo + show).

Sorry for the lack of updates but I’ve been very busy. I still got a lot going on for the next couple of weeks so I’ll only make an update if something more relevant comes along.

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):

A mention of Justin and also a brief interview with him by Marc Malkin at E! during the Maui Film Festival.

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.”

Was anyone worried, at the end of greys…? Don’t worry here is your answer…

Question: At the end of the Grey’s Anatomy finale, Alex was still using a breathing tube. Are we sure he’s okay? —Rachel
Ausiello: We’re better than sure; we’re positive. Rhimes confirms that Alex is on the road to recovery. “He lived,” she assures me. “He [turned a corner].”
