Kate Walsh fans, proceed at your own risk

So, the AfterEllen.com legal department told me I had to put a disclaimer on this post. They kept talking about possible liabilities and class action suits resulting from injuries related to mass fainting spells and/or hearing loss due to uncontrollable squeals of delight. So I’ve decided the only prudent way to proceed is to ease you slowly into the facts. So here goes. Prepare yourself. First of all, it’s about Kate Walsh.

All right, that seemed to go well. Do you need a sip of water? No? Fine, let’s move on. So, Kate Walsh is dancing. OK, now I’m pretty sure you need that glass of water. Hold on, I’ll get it. All better? Good, now I want you to sit down for this last part. I mean it. Are you sitting? It’s Kate Walsh dancing in (deep breath) nothing but a towel.



OK, fine, so what I referred to as the AfterEllen.com legal department is really just the voices in my head. But, still, one can never be too careful with clips like that. In the new sneak peek at Kate’s Grey’s Anatomy spin-off Private Practice, Dr. Addison Montgomery let’s the rhythm get her in her new California beach house. Now that is the kind of near-naked dancing I can actually get behind. I think I can safely speak for everyone here when I say that Taye Diggs is one lucky man.

The preview is part of a slew of new promos and press for the series, which premieres Sept. 26. This week, Kate is the cover girl for Entertainment Weekly. The accompanying story features quotes from Kate, show creator Shonda Rhimes and costars. Read the whole thing here. The best news? The talking elevator is dead. Though why it ever lived in the first place we’ll probably never know.

And just so they don’t think I’m playing favorites, I would like to let Kate’s cast-mates Amy Brenneman, Audra McDonald and KaDee Strickland know that I would be happy to blog about them as well, just as soon as they dance around in their birthday suits. What? I’m just trying to be fair.

So, are you excited for the premiere? Will the show rebound from its lackluster pilot? Can Kate get any cuter? That last question was, clearly, rhetorical.

Awesome

I like Taye Diggs and to find him on the Spin Off looks interesting.. I am not really a fan of Kate Walsh.. but I am hoping they're be less drama behind the show unlike Grey's Anatomy was.

:] Thanks for the funny blog.. love you're writing ;]

Sweet Jesus!

I would give my right kidney to be that powder blue towel from that clip *dreams*

I'm a huge Grey's Anatomy fan and though I feel the dynamic of the show will no longer be quite the same wihtout Addison, I'm still going to give Private Practice a chance... more Addison :D

*Ahem* It also bears mentioning ...

That the photos inside the EW issue with Kate on the cover are well worth the price of the magazine. :-)

Addison Foreva! Loved her on Grey's, which I probably won't be watching now that she has her own show. I liked the pilot despite its flaws, and also like the cast Shonda has built around Ms. Walsh. Is it September 26 yet?

Ok... Ok... Ok...

I admit it.... I had a whole tall glass of water..... now all I need is a stiff drink, cause the water obviously didn't work. It's a good thing about those voices in your head re the legal disclaimer thingy or else I would not have been prepared for it all (if you call swooning and fainting twice being prepared). So please excuse me now, I'm going to get that drink and something for this headache (I've obviously bumped my head one too many times already)

Oh Yeah

Kate Walsh is the main reason I'll be giving Private Practice a chance... even though I'm still a little sad that they didn't continue with her and Izzy's friendship on Grey's Anatomy-they were starting to be friends, then they had her character have to be tough on Izzy and...
Oh well, a weekly dose of Kate Walsh should keep me happy.

Am I crazy?

Okay, yes, I love Kate Walsh. Duh.

 

But I was just looking at the beginning of that promo where they have the show name and the naked stomach....and I can't figure out how that is actually a real body! Where I'd expect, um, some hair, there are beginnings of some bumps...butt? Can't be, right, belly button on that side. Okay, boobs then! But whose belly button is that high up under their boobs? Color me confused....

overdone

I had the same thoughts about the abdomen.  My best guess is that those are rib curvatures that have been technologically enhanced.

I think my head just exploded - are you liable for that too?

I can't wait for Private Practice to start but really, was I the only one who thought this was reminiscent of something we would have seen on Ally McBeal? If Ally McBeal wasn't a toothpick, was much taller, and actually had boobs.

She looked so cute and silly dancing, though I think I do miss the intimidating Addison from the first episodes she was on Grey's .

Hopefully

It will be better than Grey's Anatomy...for some reason I never liked that show.

But I'll definitely be giving this one a shot.

I need that glass of water now.

Dude...

That was... I have no words. I squealed. I gasped. I clutched my head. I flailed. I drooled. I've ran out of verbs and coherency. Just. Yeah. Thank you. That was so worth coming back to my dorm room for.

I never think I could be more in love with Kate than I already am then a post like this goes and proves me wrong. It's amazing.

I rarely comment, but I need to share this...

My internet connection went down just before I could press "read more". I had to go to another room, reboot the whole thing and reconfigure everything. I've been holding my breath all the way until i've seen it!

 

Oh My God. Thank you thank you thank you. I shold be worrying about tomorrows exam instead of fixing the computer just to see Kate Walsh Dancing Almost Naked

 

But it was so worth it! *drools*

Dorothy....

I must say....you have fantastic taste in women. I absolutely love reading your blogs here and on your other site, one, because I love your writing and wit and sense of humor...and two, because you always pick great women to talk about.

As long as you keep posting, I will continue reading.

You know what's better than Kate Walsh dancing in nothing but a towel? Kate Walsh dancing in nothing but a towel to a Scissor Sisters song.

Audra McDonald

I would watch the show just to see her, as long as she was allowed to sing every once in a while! But I wasn't a fan of Grey's, and mostly because I still cannot get past Kate Walsh as a (cold) cold-blooded killer on an old Law&Order episode, even if she was great in the part. Perhaps a little too great! I sure as hell wouldn't want to get involved with her. Yikes.

Love your posts Dorothy ~ Thank you for the many laughs over the months I've been reading. I always smile when I see your byline.

*faints

im so gonna miss kate walsh on greys. the interaction between all the attendings was pretty entertaining for me.. i love addison so much.. how she always looks so polished and classy despite the long tiring hours she puts in, and of course her take-charge, strong personality (satan, adulterous bitch lol). shes the only reason why i endure watching all the surgery scenes despite my great aversion to blood and bodies cut open lol she is the only reason why im gonna watch private practice.. and yeah that towel scene of course ;)

even if it wasnt rhetorical i dont think its possible...
