Grey’s Anatomy Cast Supports “Good Medicine”

Grey’s Anatomy Cast Supports “Good Medicine”

It was a Grey’s Anatomy cast outing, as stars from the hit television show made their way to the UCLA campus on Friday night (February 29).

First spotted was Katherine Heigl, who looked aglow in a low-cut red gown as she walked arm-in-arm with co-star/pal T.R. Knight in between signing autographs for a gathered crowd of spectators.

Also out for the evening was Ellen Pompeo, who made a quick stop to take care of the awaiting fans as she left the Westwood campus.

The Grey’s gang, along with cast members of Private Practice, were all on hand for appearances at “Good Medicine,” a musical benefit to aid crew members who were affected by the strike.

A few weeks ago, Kate Walsh apologized to fans for dropping out of a star-studded musical benefit concert featuring the casts of Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice.

But there would be no apologizing for the 40-year-old actress this time around, as Kate fulfilled her red carpet obligations at a Saturday night benefit.

The Private Practice star got herself all dressed up and headed over to the Santa Monica Red Cross 2008 Red Tie Affair, looking gorgeous in a long velvet evening gown.

In preparation for her evening out, Walsh was spotted out the day before getting pampered at Kate Somerville Skin Health Experts on Melrose Place and then the Juan Juan Salon in Beverly Hills.

Oh, the life of a Hollywood starlet!

Kate Walsh Promotes “Private Practice”

Kate Walsh Promotes “Private Practice”

Kate Walsh has been enjoying her time hanging out in Sydney since arriving at the Quay Grand Hotel on Wednesday morning (February 27).

Accompanied by hubby Alex Young, the Private Practice babe is Down Under to promote her show, along with her new movie, One Way to Valhalla.

Meanwhile, it was recently announced that “Kate won’t be performing in Good Medicine, a musical benefit at UCLA’s Royce Hall on Friday to benefit crew members who were affected by the strike.”

To this regard, Kate apologized to fans, writing:

“I’m sorry. I’m really sorry and I am sorry I have to be so sorry but still, I do, because I am writing to let you know that despite my initial commitments, I won’t be able to participate in ‘Good Medicine.’ I wanted to come, I really, really did — but I can’t. I have a prior commitment that I tried to get out of and couldn’t. I am so sorry. And so so so bummed. I am so bummed not only that we can’t be there for you and our crew, but because I hate to miss what promises to be an unbelievably great evening. Audra McDonald, Sara Ramirez and Loretta Devine (known to you as the chief’s wife, Adele. She played Effie in the very first Broadway Production of Dreamgirls) are singing! Not to mention T.R. Knight, Chandra Wilson, Amy Brenneman and Paul Adelstein, Tim Daly and Chris Lowell… they’re all going to sing! And so are Chief Webber and his real-life wife Gina, also a Broadway veteran. Aside from all the music, there will be appearances by Katherine Heigl, Brooke Smith, Sandra Oh, Justin Chambers, Chyler Leigh, Eric Dane and Taye Diggs. Basically everyone’s gonna be there. Except me. I cannot believe I have to miss this. Crap. Our crews are the people who make all of it possible. I am so excited this evening is happening to raise money for them and so so sad I won’t be there. I hope you forgive us and I hope you have a wonderful time.

With Love and Regret,

Kate Walsh”
