 Grey’s Anatomy star Justin Chambers checked into UCLA Medical Center’s psych ward earlier this week, but has checked out.
He “was exhausted and suffers from a sleeping disorder,” his rep tells TMZ.com. “He went in voluntarily to get some help.”
Chambers plays Dr. Alex Karev on the ABC drama.
The UCLA Medical Center is the same facility where Britney Spears is currently under a 72-hour psychiatric hold.

Britney Spears has apparently been labeled “gravely disabled” by UCLA doctors which means she’s a candidate for involuntary commitment. Apparently she’s unable to take care of basic needs such as food and shelter. Really? Because she’s constantly out to eat or checking into hotels. I’m no psychiatrist but I’m pretty sure that’s food and shelter. Anyway, Britney is considered to be in a “manic state” and was hurling accusations at her mom which TMZ elaborated on:
We first reported that Britney accused her mother of sleeping with her boyfriend. Now we have more. We're told Britney screamed, "The only reason she's admitting me is because she wants to be alone with her boyfriend! She wants to sleep with my boyfriend!!" Britney never said exactly who she was talking about.
When Brit calmed down, she talked about her kids, how much she misses them and how it's unfair that she doesn't have them.
But fear not fellow Britney lovers! Britney is seeing the best of psychiatrists, according to People:
"She's an excellent clinician and an excellent psychiatrist," says Harold Young, the clinical director at the Maple Counseling Center in Beverly Hills, where Spears's psychiatrist Dr. Deborah Nadel worked for about five years.
In the meantime, Sam Lufti has been making In-N-Out Burger runs for Britney. Can’t acquire food, huh? Those better be therapeutic cheeseburgers otherwise I’ll cry “shenanigans!” Then it’ll only be a matter of time until CNN follows my lead. Little known fact: Wolf Blitzer’s my bitch. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to send my little Wolfman on a coffee run. I like it fresh from Colombia.

If you missed Joss Whedon’s space cowboy series the first time around, now’s your chance to catch up.
Several years ago a science fiction series aired on television featuring the adventures of a spaceship captain and his crew. Although the series received critical acclaim and had a devoted following, low ratings led to its swift cancellation. No, I’m not talking about the original Star Trek — I’m talking about Firefly. Created and…

This has got to be one of the perfect frat house party DVDs, a combination horror/comedy.
Let me say this for the record and be up front about it: there are no – as in none – redeeming qualities about Bikini Bloodbath. Anyone looking for anything philosophically deeper than a tanline or a plot of any degree is going to be sorely disappointed. The movie is exactly as the title portrays it to be, a bloody romp with girls in…

A deceptively stupid movie and so-so Blu-ray experience.
With a wide ranging cast of recognizable faces, loads of action, tons of chases, and a twisting plot, what could possibly go wrong with Chain Reaction? Everything. This is a movie trying to be way more intelligent than it actually is.In this 1996 outing from director Andrew Davis (The Fugitive), Keanu Reeves stars as a machinist working on a way to…

Re Mark Feeney's blog entry on Arthur Penn: What he said. But also allow me to urge you, if you're anywhere in the vicinity of the Harvard Film Archive tomorrow (Saturday) at 3 p.m., to go see "Little Big Man," Penn's epic anti-Western and one of the great forgotten films of its era. When it came out in 1970, star Dustin Hoffman (above, being laved by Faye Dunaway) was between "Midnight Cowboy" and "Straw Dogs" (okay, also between "John and Mary" and "Who is Harry Kellerman and Why is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?"), and he plugs right into Penn's arch wavelength as Jack Crabbe, the 121-year-old survivor of Custer's Last Stand who narrates his life in flashback. In some ways the film has dated, and in some ways it has come through the other side and become un-dated: the Washita River massacre scene that Penn visually ties to the Vietnam War and My Lai may have felt a New Hollywood stretch ten years ago but it stings today.
It's a curious work, pirouetting between picaresque and tragedy, parody and polemic. It goofs on Native Americans even as it reveres them as the authentic flower children. (Chief Dan George's wonderful, Oscar-nominated performance encapsulates both extremes.) In "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance," John Ford famously pondered the difference between the legend and the facts in the Old West. "Little Big Man" just howls with laughter and rage at any attempt to distinguish between the two. Overall, it's a damn sight more complex and troubling -- more entertaining, too -- than "Dances with Wolves." Worth seeing, and worth seeing on a big screen. (Thomas Berger's original novel is well worth reading as well.)
The quietly blistering Romanian drama "4 Months 3 Weeks and 2 Days" finally opens in the Boston area, at the Kendall to be precise. See why a lot of critics put it on their Best-of-2007 lists or see it for Anamaria Marinca's performance as the kind of friend we all want but rarely deserve.
The African Film Festival kicks off at the MFA today. I was at Sundance and couldn't pre-screen the offerings, but Wesley did and has this to say. That Cameroonian sci-fi sex mystery sounds kind of amazing.

A DVD collection of Barbara Stanwyck’s lesser-known roles.
Most people either remember Barbara Stanwyck as the matriarch of the '60s television show The Big Valley or as the scheming femme fatale Phyllis Dietrichson in the film noir classic Double Indemnity. But my favorite Barbara Stanwyck part was in Preston Sturges’s The Lady Eve. That is until this box set, but I’ll reveal that part…

All sorts of new goodies for you this week.
Sorry for missing last week’s edition. Life conspired against me whenever I found time to write, so I was not able to gather any trailers and posters together for you. I will try to not let that happen in the future. As it is, I wanted this to be something of a super-sized edition, but that was not to be either. I will try to make it up to you down…
