Mike Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly confirms via Shonda Rhimes herself, that Alex/Justin Chambers will live. This makes me happy, especially since Alex is really the only Alpha male on the show. Patrick Dempsey is always near tears in every scene, and Owen is such a mess that I’m not quite sure he could knock a guy out if need be.

Kate Gosselin’s Dancing With the Stars Salary Revealed – How Much Did She Earn?
In case you were wondering why Kate Gosselin would fly across the country every week to compete on Dancing With the Stars, the answer has been revealed. Popeater reports that Gosselin made $100,000 per episode, which means that she took home a grand total of $500,000. This paycheck does not surprise me. Gosselin was the biggest draw of the season, and after she left the ratings went down significantly. That explains why they brought her back for the finale, despite all of the reports about her being difficult. She sure is doing well lately. With her two new TLC shows, I don’t think she’ll have a problem feeding her eight children. Do you think Jon contributes at all anymore?
Dancing With the Stars Re-Airs Yesterday’s Episode – Are you Joking?
Am I hallucinating? Why on earth would the geniuses at ABC choose to re-air yesterday’s show? Oh wait . . . it just occurred to me. They are trying to compete with the ‘American Idol’ finale from 8:00 to 9:00 pm. You guys don’t have any original programming? After all, last night’s show is already uploaded on the ABC website. I wouldn’t be so infuriated if I didn’t momentarily think I lost my sanity while watching this repeat.
Dancing With the Stars Finale – The Choreographers Need Choreographers?
Three couples competed for the coveted mirror ball trophy on tonight’s ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ and it was . . . interesting. Both Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Anna Trebunskaya needed a little extra help from an outside choreographer for their routine. Am I the only person that thinks this is ridiculous? I understand that they are only trained in ballroom, but then why don’t you design a free-style routine that is a twist on ball-room? If you’re unable to choreograph outside of your genre, then you can’t do that routine. Simple enough. You didn’t see Derek Hough bringing in outside help, and his routine was the best of them all. Watch Derek and Nicole’s free-style below.

Grey’s Anatomy Finale: My Review
I confess that I’ve been picking on Shonda Rhimes a lot lately for being too dark. But if there is anything I’m able to do, it’s admit when I’m wrong. This Thursday’s finale was extremely dark, but still enjoyable, and it ties the series finale of ‘Six Feet Under’ as one of the best episodes of television that I’ve ever seen in my life. I’ll also let you in on a little secret: I read the spoilers before watching the show. Why? Because I wanted to know who died before I saw it (I was scared of Shonda Rhimes scarring me for life). Throughout the episode I kept asking myself who deserves an Emmy. There were so many stand-out performances that I can’t pick just one. Here’s my list of Emmy worthy scenes:
Sandra Oh: Cristina telling Meredith that she can’t enter the operating room while she operates on Derek.
Ellen Pompeo: Meredith’s plea for the shooter to kill her instead of Derek, followed by her collapse to the floor when she believed that Cristina let him die (per the shooter’s wishes).
Chandra Wilson: Dr. Miranda Bailey’s freak-out realization that Percy would die, followed by the strength of pulling it together for him.
Sarah Drew: Her monologue to the shooter about being “somebody’s daughter” was gut-wrenchingly good. She also navigated the freak-outs without getting annoyingly over the top. She’s actually getting mixed reviews on the internet for her performance, much like Katherine Heigl did when she cut Denny’s LVAD wire. I think she’s on her way to some very great opportunities.
Michael O’Neill: Ah, the evil shooter. He clearly wins the entire episode. Whoever the casting director is that found this guy and decided he’d be right for this role, deserves a huge raise and promotion. When I first saw him on the show I knew he was a decent actor, but who knew he was capable of this?

Grey’s Anatomy Spoiler Alert: I Know Who Dies on the Finale
If you don’t want any idea about who dies on the season finale, stop reading this. I wasn’t tipped off, and this is merely speculation. I’d put money on it though. Why? Because Miranda Bailey’s love interest, Jason George or “Dr. Ben Warren,” has signed on for a new Shonda Rimes medical show that was just picked up. That means he can’t do both shows, and I’m guessing Shonda Rimes will send him off in style. It isn’t like her to let anyone leave happily, and I can’t imagine that she’ll lose more than one cast member in the finale. Poor Miranda. I feel bad for Miranda’s character and for Chandra Wilson herself, who finally got a juicy, original story-line, just to have it taken from her after a limited number of episodes. Even if I’m wrong about the death, I’m certain he’ll leave the show – it’s just a matter of how.
‘Private Practice’ Spoiler – Shonda Rimes Discusses Why She Killed a Main Character Off
Mike Ausiello sat down with Shonda Rimes to discuss why she killed Chris Lowell/Dell off the show. She said it was a difficult choice to make, but it was a “mutual decision,” based on the fact that it just wasn’t fair to have such a good actor on the show just to “hand out charts.” First of all, I highly doubt the decision was mutual. What actor would willingly leave a show that pays him a large sum of money, because his character isn’t going anywhere (oops – I forgot about T.R. Knight. I’m sensing a pattern)? Second, was it necessary to kill him off in such a horrible way, leaving a young, orphaned daughter? This is classic Shonda Rimes. She takes a great, fun show, and when the writing gets stale, she writes in some bombs, murders, and car crashes. Go back and watch the first season of ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ It was a fantastic show that didn’t make you want to cry and jump off a cliff by the end of each episode. Plus, I liked Dell.
