It looks like “Grey’s Anatomy” is about to go under the knife to cut out one of its stars… and breathe easy Ellen Pompeo fans, it’s got nothing to do with the recent fiery ferry crash.

ABC has decided to pursue a “Grey’s” spin-off with sexy neonatal surgeon Dr. Addison Montgomery-Shepherd (played by the lovely Kate Walsh) as the lead character, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal.

The pilot has yet to be finalized and “Grey’s” creator Shonda Rhimes has yet to decide on a title. However, Rhimes recently filled the cast in on the idea and revealed she will write a special two-hour episode to serve as the pilot, with a likely debut in May, according to the report.

Walsh joined the “Grey’s” cast in May 2005, appearing towards the end of the season one finale.

When contacted by Access Hollywood, ABC had no further comment beyond what was in the Wall Street Journal article.

In order to focus on the project, Rhimes has reportedly back-burnered “Correspondents,” another pilot she was working on starring Jeffrey Dean Morgan, who played Katherine Heigl’s patient love interest Denny Duquette.

“Correspondents” follows a group of female journalists as they travel around the country doing news stories together. Although, it would star Morgan, it would have nothing to do with the “Grey’s” franchise.

Noooo - I don’t want Kate Walsh to leave the show!

Best friends and “Grey’s Anatomy” co-stars Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight spent some time out of scrubs together yesterday.

A TMZ spy tells us the prime time pals were overheard in a very in-depth conversation about the upcoming elections before catching a flick at an L.A. cinema. After the movie, the buddies headed to Off Vine restaurant in Hollywood, where they met up for dinner with Katherine’s fiance, Josh Kelley.

Looks like T.R.’s media drama has brought him closer to his fellow actors… well, at least some of them.

After dispensing some puppy TLC in New York, Grey’s Anatomy’s resident doc Katherine Heigl makes a happy return to Los Angeles International Airport on Sunday.

The lovely Kate Walsh was at the Verizon Wireless / Rolling Stone Pre-GRAMMY Party held on Friday night.

Grey’s Anatomy star Katherine Heigl makes the acquaintance of a four-legged friend as she helps kick off the 3rd Annual Pedigree Adoption Drive from New York’s Times Square on Thursday. With 2 million dogs going homeless this year, Heigl told Good Morning America during her early-morning appearance that it’s important to raise awareness about the cause.

AskMen.com has picked the lovely Sandra Oh as their actress of the week. Read what they have to say below:

Why we like her?
Sandra Oh’s obvious talent is matched by her penchant for choosing complicated roles, and it’s certainly easy enough to forget that Cristina Yang — her Grey’s Anatomy alter ego — is merely one of the hundreds of parts she has tackled over the years.

Why is she famous?
Although she stepped into the spotlight thanks to her gig on Grey’s Anatomy, Sandra Oh is actually a veteran of the entertainment industry having appeared in over 45 movies and television shows since the late 1980s.

Overall rating
Unlike some of her costars on Grey’s Anatomy, Sandra has been working within the entertainment industry long enough to ensure that this sudden burst of fame has little chance of going to her head. The actress slowly but surely built an impressive filmography, effectively ensuring that she’ll never be thought of as a flash in the pan.

New father of twins Patrick Dempsey is “a good dad,” his Grey’s Anatomy co-star Ellen Pompeo tells People magazine.

“I think the thing about Patrick is, obviously he has a tremendous love for his wife and his daughter, but he has a tremendous sense of duty,” Pompeo, 37, says.

“He’s really sort of old-fashioned in that way – he’s got a good sense of being a gentleman and taking care of his family, and that’s what makes him a good dad. It’s an admirable quality.”

Dempsey and wife Jillian welcomed sons Darby Galen and Sullivan Patrick in Los Angeles on Thursday. (Galen is Dempsey’s middle name.) The couple, who have been married for seven years, also have a 4-year-old daughter, Talula.

In January, the 41-year-old actor told Life magazine of fatherhood: “Now, making money is about providing for my children. And being a father makes you look at yourself. You look at your marriage and go, ‘How do I improve this? How do I keep growing and create a stable environment for my children?’ ”
