Michael Ausiello of Entertainment Weekly has some interesting Grey's Anatomy spoilers in his Q&A today, and even a direct quote from Shonda Rhimes about the Izzie-Denny story line.

Read on and follow the jump for the latest on what's to come ...

Q: What the hell is going on with Grey's Anatomy's Denny and Izzie?

A: Don't be so quick to judge, people. Who among us hasn't gone to first base with a dead ex at least once in our lives? Exactly.

Q: Okay, I'm officially worried that Izzie really does have a brain tumor and Shonda Rhimes is paving the way for Katherine Heigl's departure at the end of the season.

A: Hold on ... I've got Shonda Rhimes on the line ... She says she heard through the grapevine that I've been flooded with hundreds of e-mails from mostly irate and confused Grey's Anatomy fans wondering WTF is going on with this bizarre love story between a dead Denny (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and an alive Izzie ... The show's creator and executive producer says she'd like to address readers directly via this exclusive statement ...

"I think that the love triangle with Denny, Izzie, and Alex is among the most interesting we've ever done. Watching the chemistry between Jeffrey and Katherine again has been really touching. I can't wait for our viewers to see where we're taking it. But what it won't involve is Izzie having a brain tumor."

Alright, so the brain tumor theory is out the window. What does that leave in the way of logical explanations?

Q: What's next for Callie (Sara Ramirez) on Grey's Anatomy now that Hahn's gone?

A: The official ABC logline for the December 4 episode, "All My Myself," includes this little morsel: "Callie can't figure out if Sadie is just friendly or flirtatious." Translation: Sadie is next for Callie.
