'GREY' AREA

"Grey's Anatomy" creator Shonda Rhimes is in the house for the annual Writers Guild reception -- and for another event I'll write about a little later -- and, as usual, revealing little or nothing about the season to come.

We did hear a tiny bit about her next project, though, a pilot she's hoping to get on the air for the 2007-08 season.

"It's about journalists," she said.

Print or TV?

"Journalists," she said firmly.

About the most she'd do beyond that was to confirm that, no, it wouldn't be about TV critics.

As if.

But if Rhimes is sparing with the information, she's free enough with the written word, refusing to do the fashionable thing and complain about what a bore blogging is.

In fact, she said, she and the other "Grey's" writers love their blog, Grey Matter, and that she reads the comments section regularly. That said, as someone who plots an entire season out ahead of time, she's never taken advice from fans about storylines.

So don't even think you could have saved Denny (Jeffrey Dean Morgan). Poor guy was dead before we ever met him.

On the other hand, according to the Hollywood Reporter, he's been cast in Rhimes' pilot (which according to published reports is about "female journalists").
