Kate Aurthur editor “Grey’s Anatomy,” which in last week’s episode said goodbye-ish to Ellen Pompeo as Meredith Grey, will say hello to the actor William Martinez in the March 2 episode this week. In a recurring role, Martinez will make his debut as Trey, a character who’s an important figure from Simone’s (Alexis Floyd) past. In last week’s episode, Simone, one of Season 19’s new class of surgical interns, entered into a situationship with Lucas (Niko Terho). Their courtship is complicated, though, by the fact that they’re now both living in Meredith’s old house, along with fellow intern Mika Yasuda (Midori Francis) — fixing it up after a fire nearly destroyed it. Trey will be coming along to make that incipient romance even knottier, presumably.

scorned. In the wake of ex-boyfriend Gerard Piqué’s shameless social media flaunt of his new love interest, Clara Chia Marti, 23, the celebrated “Hips Don’t Lie” luminary has fired off a thinly-veiled shot at her former sweetheart’s Gen Z sweetie. “There is a place in hell reserved for women who don’t support other women,” said Shakira, 46, while discussing her recent breakup with Piqué, 36, on the Mexican network Canal Estrellas Monday. Piqué, a former soccer player for Barcelona, with whom Shakira shares sons Sasha, 7, and Milan, 10, parted ways with the Grammy winner in June 2022 after 11 years together. He made his new relationship with Marti, a college student studying public relations, Instagram-official in January. Ahead of their breakup, Shakira reportedly suspected that Piqué had been unfaithful after finding a jar of strawberry jam — a condiment neither he nor their sons eat — in their refrigerator after she returned home from traveling. The rumored stickiness of their separation notwithstanding, Shakira now claims to have become pleasantly “self-sufficient” since getting jilted by her ex of more than a decade. “I’ve always been emotionally quite dependent on men,” the “Waka Waka” crooner confessed during the interview.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic For more than half a century, John Fogerty stood as the poster boy for all musicians who’d ever signed away rights to their publishing or master recordings and been unable to buy them back. Over time, Paul McCartney and then Taylor Swift came to be symbols, as well, of artists who tried and failed to win full ownership of their own music. But even Swift’s radical decision to re-record all her old albums, to do an end run around her former label selling her masters, may not count as quite as bold as the stance Fogerty took for several decades, during which he refused to perform any of his classic late ’60s and early ’70s Creedence Clearwater Revival songs in protest of his inability to purchase publishing rights for that material.
