    She's overrated trash. She's been trying her damnedest to get out of her Grey's Anatomy contract so her aging badly ass can focus on tired ass romantic comedies. I hate that whore. It is hard enough to break into tinsel town but to see someone like her piss and the good money at Grey makes me sick. They should kill the hoe off and get a hot British chick to replace her g
