Kate Walsh
Gossip

Guess her rumored boyfriend is no longer rumored.

Kate Walsh walked hand-in-hand with her new man Neil Andrea during a shopping excursion in Los Angeles over the weekend. And that wasn't all.

The couple looked very much in love as they kissed over lunch, while Walsh's parents, in town for a visit, casually read the paper at the table!

So much for Private Practice. Try public display of ... forget it.

Neil Andrea has a happy girlfriend in Kate Walsh.

Kate Walsh married film executive Alex Young in September 2007, but contentiously filed for divorce in December 2008, citing irreconcilable differences.

We're glad she's happier with Neil!

Grey's Anatomy hunk Eric Dane and Private Practice leading lady Kate Walsh will be teaming up in the newest crossover of those successful ABC medical dramas.

Here's the crossover situation:

• On Grey’s Anatomy, Dr. Mark Sloan (Dane) pleads with Addison to come to Seattle and help perform surgery on a patient (guest star Leven Rambin).
• On Private Practice, complications arise and Mark is forced to take the patient down to L.A. for more surgery, presumably also performed by Addison.

As for Mark's connection to the girl, whether sparks fly between the former lovers, and whether the relationship between Mark and Lexie is at all impacted?

That remains to be seen. But we can only assume it will involve serious surgical and sexual tension, plus a long-winded melodramatic monologue or eight.

Eric Dane and Kate Walsh (right) will cross paths again on Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice. Their medical link? Former All My Children star Leven Rambin (middle).

It's no Kellan Lutz and Jessica Stroup, but Kate Walsh made quite the romantic splash attending the Emmy Awards Sunday night with new beau Neil Andrea.

Just don't expect the Private Practice star to open up about it.

Asked about her hot date, Walsh told the New York Daily News, "I'm not going to talk about it. I know you have to ask, but it's top-secret! It's in the vault!"

Great Seinfeld quote, but their affection wasn't in any vault.

Walsh introduced Andrea to new NCIS: Los Angeles star Chris O'Donnell as "my boyfriend," and later, the pair were seen locking lips, according to reports.

Neil Andrea: Kate Walsh's hot new arm candy.

Neil Andrea also supported Kate Walsh at the Private Practice "Blow Out Cancer" charity event to benefit the American Cancer Society Monday in Beverly Hills.

The two arrived together but Walsh talked to the press as Andrea went off to chat up her co-stars Taye Diggs, Tim Daly, Paul Adelstein, and Chris Lowell.

Walsh married film executive Alex Young in September 2007, but rather contentiously filed for divorce in December 2008 citing irreconcilable differences.

At least they appear to be getting along more amicably now, however: "Alex and I still care for each other, and I wish him nothing but the best," she said.

We've provided the full list of 2009 Emmy Award winners. Now let's get down to something even more crucial - the evening's fashion winners and losers!

Here's a battle of Grey's Anatomy stars past and present.

Sandra Oh came up short in her quest for an Outstanding Supporting Actress Emmy for the fifth - fifth! - consecutive year. She's getting robbed, people.

But can she get redemption against her former co-star Kate Walsh, who went on to star in Private Practice, in this style showdown? It'll be a tough one.

Who looked better at the Emmys?

Former star of The Hills and recent Dodgers pitcher Lauren Conrad may have said her goodbyes to the reality show that made her famous, but that does not mean she can't still laugh at the faux drama with the rest of us.

LC herself stopped by Saturday's "The Hills: A Staged Reading," put on by the Upright Citizens Brigade, and enjoyed the show alongside fans and comics alike.

Even better? Private Practice star Kate Walsh played the role of Conrad, the recently retired Hills beauty and leading lady, and Lauren couldn't get enough.

Throughout the evening, Walsh performed an uncanny impersonation of Conrad's trademark facial expressions and infamous lines from The Hills, including:

• "Tell me if he's cute 'cause I'm drunk."
• "You're a bad person. That's reality."
• "I want to forgive you, and I want to forget you."

The real Lauren sat just rows away, laughing at Walsh ... and thus herself.

The Upright Citizens Brigade, a renowned improvisational theater group in NYC and LA, kept the mood light, offering this amusing (and truly accurate) introduction as it prepared to lampoon The Hills and its cute, catty stars:

"You've seen Shakespeare, you've seen Mozart, now experience the work of the greatest geniuses of our time. It's Heidi vs. Lauren and it's really, really important."

We couldn't have said it better ourselves.

Collateral damange from Kate Walsh's bitter divorce is escalating to the point where the head honcho of ABC is asking for protection - from a court of law!

The actress' estranged husband, Alex Young, has subpoenaed Stephen McPherson, President of Disney/ABC Television, for a deposition - to testify about Kate Walsh's finances. Young alleges Walsh is hiding financial information from him.

McPherson, who is effectively Walsh's boss, is having none of it. Disney's lawyers have filed legal papers asking for a court order blocking any such deposition.

Young believes Walsh is not coming clean with all the assets acquired during their 14-month marriage. His lawyer, Jeff Sturman, fired off the subpoena to McPherson, claiming he has "unique" knowledge about Walsh's financial situation.

Alex Young and Kate Walsh announced their split in December.

Kate Walsh starred on Grey's Anatomy for two seasons and then left to take the lead role in its moderately successful spinoff series, Private Practice.

Disney lawyers replied that Young is "harassing" McPherson, "because at the the time of Ms. Walsh acquiring the role on Private Practice, Mr. McPherson was not running ABC Studios." Disney is willing to send an underling to the depo.

Young, a 20th Century Fox movie exec, has also subpoenaed financial docs from Disney itself. Disney and Young will fight it out in court on July 8.

Kate Walsh's estranged husband, Alex Young, has filed a lawsuit accusing the company that managed both his and the Private Practice actress' finances of "unlawful and unethical conduct" by refusing to hand over documents.

Alex Young, who filed for divorce December 9 after 14 months of marriage, has requested information pertaining to the couple's house and other assets.

Walsh's rep said the breakup was amicable at the time, but Young's camp says that accounting house London & Co. "was very slow to respond and it would not answer certain questions" the Fox exec had about their "very valuable house."

The 20th Century Fox studio executive also wants to know about the value of some of the furnishings, artwork and other improvements they both paid for.

Per his filing, Alex Young moved out when he decided to go ahead with the divorce, leaving everything in the house in Kate Walsh's possession.

But when he tried to access all of their purchase and tax records from the accountants, London & Co. balked, he says, and the firm has turned over a paltry amount of information overall, despite being served with a deposition subpoena.

The accounting firm was engaged in a clear "conflict of interest," contends Young, who alleges that it behaved in a manner that benefited one client, Kate Walsh, while opting to drop him as a client when the couple split up.

Here's a Grey's Anatomy spoiler we didn't see coming.

According to court papers, movie exec Alex Young, 37, has petitioned for a divorce, citing irreconcilable differences with actress Kate Walsh, as of Nov. 22.

"The couple remain on friendly terms and sincerely hope the media will respect their privacy during this difficult time," they said in a statement Thursday.

Walsh, who went on to star in the mediocre spinoff Private Practice after making it big on Grey's Anatomy, wed Young – a production co-president at 20th Century Fox – on September 1, 2007, in the town of Ojai, just north of Los Angeles.

In October 2007, Kate Walsh talked about the pair's whirlwind relationship, telling Ellen DeGeneres, "There was this kind of funny moment, after we were like we're married and all of the hoopla was over and we were like, 'What do we do now?'"

Guess she ran out of answers to that question sooner than expected.

Some apparently awesome photographer named Timothy White has taken some sexy celebrity photos for his new book, entitled Hollywood Pinup.

Among those featured is the beautiful Kate Walsh, 40, who used to star on Grey's Anatomy before moving on to mediocre spin-off Private Practice.

Yowza. We wouldn't mind having to Practice some very Private things with Kate Walsh if you know what we mean. We're talking about ... forget it.

Enjoy the photo:

HOLLYWOOD PINUP: A sexy Kate Walsh certainly looks the part of the new book she's in. How that guy talked her into this, we have no clue. But awesome work.

Kate Walsh used to shine on Grey's Anatomy (2005-2007).

Her efforts are currently wasted on Private Practice.

Nevertheless, she is one of our favorite actresses and The Hollywood Gossip would like to wish a happy birthday to Kate Walsh, who turns 41 (!) today. She would totally be a MILF if she actually had kids, but she's only newly married!

Here's a little Kate Walsh photo tribute. Click to enlarge ...
