Known for his role in Journeyman, this Scottish actor may be joining the ranks at Seattle Grace as a knew doc in town. Kevin McKidd – who also appeared in HBO’s Rome – is currently in talks with the executives of Grey’s Anatomy to appear in what sounds to be a rather long story arc. The storyline would involve McKidd as a doctor who arrives at Seattle Grace after serving in Iraq. Doesn’t give us much to go on, but at least it’s something.

If you haven’t seen Journeyman or Rome but McKidd looks familiar, that’s because he also starred in Patrick Dempsey’s most recent film, Made of Honor. Coincidence? Perhaps the two of them hit it off so much that Dempsey put a good word in at the Grey’s Anatomy headquarters. Or, perhaps it really is a coincidence.

This news might be good for fans of McKidd, but do we really need more characters circulating through the show, taking away precious screen time from the core cast and their budding relationships? I’m not sure. Sounds like McKidd might add his own McDrama to the mix, though I’m not sure we need any more of that either.

The possibility of another strike is in the air, and Hollywood is prepairing for the worst. The deadline for the negotiations between the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) is on the horizon, and this could mean difficult waters for those involved in the process.

On July 8^th, the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) will vote on whether they want to establish a new contract with AMPTP, which will determine how SAG looks at its own contract. At the moment, SAG is trying to get AFTRA to vote no and Grey’s Anatomy’s own Sandra Oh is on their side.

Hollywood is still recuperating from the writer’s strike, which lasted far longer than anyone anticipated. Ratings for Grey’s Anatomy – and many other shows - dropped significantly since its return to the air and another strike is certain to not help matters at all. Let’s hope SAG and AMPTP manage some friendly negotiations and a strike doesn’t come to pass.

As of now, there’s little else to go on, as both SAG and AFTRA are keeping silent on their negotiation strategies, but I’m sure we’ll understand the nature and extent of their complaints in due time.

Katherine Heigl apparently has huge issues with the way her forehead looks. So much so, in fact, that she’s pondered “surgically lowering her hairline.” It’s definitely true that no one is ever truly happy with the way they look. I mean, Katherine Heigl is men’s most desired woman, and even she has body issues.

Her insecurities have persisted since childhood, when she was teased about her high forehead and called “Katherine High-Head” by kids. Guess she’s not over that yet.

Let’s hope she doesn’t bother with surgery. She’s beautiful!

Michael Ausiello dropped a bit of a bomb on us recently with his assertion that a pregnancy was potentially in the works for season five of Grey’s Anatomy. He didn’t tell us who it would be, but he did hint that it would be one of the ladies involved in one of the steamy kisses at the end of the finale. That doesn’t narrow the list down entirely, but it does let us focus on some likely candidates.

My money is on Callie. It seems television producers like to stick pregnancy alongside lesbian storylines to - I guess - water them down and desexualize the relationship. It won’t be the first time this happened and it likely won’t be the last. Of course, that’s just my opinion and it could be someone else entirely. The chief’s wife, for example. Though she might be too old. Then again, that’s unlikely to stop them from writing it anyway. I doubt it will be Izzie or Meredith. I don’t think Hahn’s had sex with anyone.

So, what do you think? Assuming it’s true, who’s your pick?
