This just in: Justin Chambers is BREAKING the hearts of "Grey's Anatomy" fans everywhere by announcing his departure from the medical drama after 15 seasons.

"Grey's" first aired in 2005 and is about to begin season 16 in the middle of January. Justin Chambers plays Alex Karev on the show and is one of the only O.G cast members left.

Alex Karev is Meredith's best friend, married to Jo, and has had one of the GREATEST character development timelines on the entire show.

In a recent interview with Deadline, Chambers said,

"There's no good time to say goodbye to a show and a character that's defined so much of my life for the past 15 years."

He goes on in the interview to talk about how he has wanted to branch out in his career choices and now that he is getting older and has a family it was time to solidify that decision.

We don't know if Alex Karev will say goodbye to us in season 16 or if season 15 was his final appearance on the show. All we can hope is that his storyline doesn't end with an untimely death, but a career change and distance from Grey Sloan Memorial.

Now that this news has broken, we have so many questions. What's going to happen with Jo? How will Meredith handle not having Alex around? My mind is going crazy with theories and questions.

With the departure of Alex Karev, we are left with only a few O.G characters including Meredith, Dr. Weber, and Dr. Bailey. Since Alex won't be around anymore, we can only PRAY for some intense drama to make up for the loss of one of our favorite characters.

"Grey's Anatomy" season 16 premieres on Thursday, Jan. 23 on ABC.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
