You can send any/all of the above to ausielloscoop@ew.com Question: Is it at all possible that Shonda Rhimes would bring Isaiah Washington back to Grey's Anatomy for even one episode now that T.R. Knight has left the show? —Ben Ausiello: Listen to me very carefully, because I'm only going to say this once: Never. Gonna. Happen.

Kanye West has made a habit of brash moves that some might consider career suicide, from radically changing up his musical style, to chasing avant-garde fashion and daring to buck rap's strict macho code. But could one of his most conventional acts of rebellion — Sunday's dis of Taylor Swift at the VMAs — turn out to be the left turn that does irreparable damage to his career?
It's not the first time 'Ye has bum-rushed an awards show and spouted off about a perceived slight, but the fact that he interrupted the acceptance speech by a beloved, squeaky-clean 19-year-old singer savoring her first moment in the Vma spotlight has led to a firestorm of criticism for the rapper. For his part, West has called Swift to apologize, »

The Power of Music on 'Grey's Anatomy'
6 August 2009 5:44 PM, PDT | buddytv.com | See recent BuddyTV news »
Remember Preston Burke's (Isaiah Washington) intended wedding vows to Cristina (Sandra Oh), which he didn't get to say on Grey's Anatomy?
He recited it in an Or full of women, that included Izzie (Katherine Heigl), Callie (Sara Ramirez) and the now departed Addie (Kate Walsh). He was saying, "I am not optimistic, I am not hopeful. I am sure," and right there and then, a song started playing - Ray Lamontagne's Hold You In My Arms. Burke continued with his vow and right after he finished, the song got louder, getting to the chorus. Everyone was speechless, until Addison broke the silence and said, "I think I speak for every woman in this room when I say dump her, dump Yang and marry me."

T.R. Knight and Shonda Rhimes 'breakdown of communication'
23 July 2009 7:23 PM, PDT | Monsters and Critics | See recent Monsters and Critics news »
A clash of personalities led T.R. Knight, who played Dr. George O.Malley on .Grey.s Anatomy,. to bail on the series. Knight tells Entertainment Weekly that a .breakdown of communication. between himself and executive producer Shonda Rhimes sealed the deal. The .breakdown of communication. was a diplomatic dodge at not revealing the extent of the bad blood between him and Rhimes, and Knight deliberately left it at that when pressed to reveal more in the interview. The other bad blood between the now openly gay actor and his co star Isaiah Washington, dubbed "Isaiahgate," made the "F" word in addition to the classic four letter one a no-no in polite conversation. The fight between the actors was exposed, and Knight came »

23 July 2009 12:00 PM, PDT | Popsugar.com | See recent Popsugar news »
T.R. Knight landed on the cover of Entertainment Weekly, finally opening up about his big decision to leave Grey's Anatomy. He essentially chalks up the move to his disagreements with the show's executive producer, Shonda Rimes, and the fallout from Isaiah Washington's profanity-laced tirade in 2006. He said: On his frustration: "My five-year experience proved to me that I could not trust any answer that was given [about George]." On coming out publicly after Isaiah's incident: "I think she was concerned about having my statement come out so close to the [initial] event." On leaving his $14 million contract: "From an outsider's perspective, I get the [impression that] 'He’s just a spoiled actor…he doesn’t know how good he has it. There are a lot of people who would like to be in my position. But in the end, I need to be fulfilled in my work." It's interesting to finally hear the backstory »

T.R. Knight Says Leaving Grey’s Was ‘the Best Decision’
23 July 2009 8:46 AM, PDT | People.com - TV Watch | See recent People.com - TV Watch news »
Former Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight is opening up about his departure [1] from ABC's hit medical drama, telling Entertainment Weekly he saw no future for Dr. George O'Malley, the lovable resident he played for five seasons. Knight says his screen time dropped so much by season 5 that he chose to leave the show rather than seek an answer -- something he says was hard to come by. "My five-year experience proved to me that I could not trust any answer that was given [about George]," he tells the magazine [2]. "There just comes a time when it's so clear that moving on is the best decision." Costar Katherine Heigl initially disagreed with her friend. "I didn't think it was the right decision," she says. "I felt like some of the problems could be worked through. But by the time it came to fruition, I was [glad] for him because he was ready to go. »

T.R. Knight Reveals Why He Left Grey's Anatomy
23 July 2009 7:51 AM, PDT | TVGuide - Breaking News | See recent TVGuide - Breaking News news »
T.R. Knight says a "breakdown in communication" with Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes led him to quit the hit ABC drama — and that Rhimes tried to discourage him from coming out soon after Isaiah Washington used an anti-gay slur.
Knight said that during "IsaiahGate" — when Washington referred to Knight with an anti-gay slur during an October 2006 on-set argument with Patrick Dempsey — Rhimes "was concerned about having my [coming out] statement come out so close to the event."
Rhimes denies it: "I said [to T.R.], 'If you want to come out, that's awesome,'" she told Entertainment Weekly.

Blogger Hilton Makes Amends With Washington Over Gay Slur
25 June 2009 9:11 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Gay celebrity blogger Perez Hilton has reached out to former Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington to apologise for previously branding him a "homophobe" following the columnist's own controversy with rapper Will.I.Am.
The actor was axed from Grey's Anatomy in 2007 after 'outing' co-star T.R. Knight when he called him a "f**got" during a fight behind the scenes of the hit medical show.
Hilton subsequently attacked Washington for his actions and accused him of being anti-gay - but he's now retracted his comments after finding himself targeted for his own use of the homophobic slur during a clash with the Black Eyed Peas star at an event in Toronto, Canada on Sunday.
The writer alleged he was left bleeding and in shock when will.i.am attacked him - the star responded by insisting there was no violence and accused Hilton of branding him a "f**got" as they argued outside a nightclub.
Hilton - real name Mario Lavandeira - issued a statement on Wednesday to say sorry to the gay community for using the offensive word, and he's reiterated his regret in another post on his website on Thursday.
He says, "I am sorry that any good work I have done for promoting equality may be tainted by me reclaiming a hurtful word... to hurt someone that was verbally attacking me. It was stupid. The 'F' word will never be uttered from my lips again. Just as others use the 'N' word to insult and hurt - or as part of their everyday speech - I challenge them to remove it from their vocabulary as well.
"I am apologising to the gay community, to anyone who was hurt by my choice of words... I have reached out to Isaiah Washington, someone I incorrectly labelled a homophobe in the past, despite his own public statements that he was not."
But Hilton refuses to apologise to leaders of gay rights organisation The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD), who chastised him for using the slur during the altercation.
He adds: "I am sorry. I am Not apologising to GLAAD. I could (sic) care less about them... I am apologising to the gay community, to anyone who was hurt by my choice of words..."
The Black Eyed Peas' road manager Polo Molina has since turned himself into Toronto authorities and is facing a charge for assault, as well as a lawsuit from Hilton. »
Isaiah Washington Joins No H8 Campaign
25 June 2009 6:18 AM, PDT | Hollyscoop.com | See recent HollyScoop news »
What a turnaround! Isaiah Washington has just joined the No H8 campaign, which is an organization that supports gay marriage. Over two years ago in 2006 Washington came under fire for using an anti-gay slur towards his Grey’s Anatomy co-star T.R. Knight, which resulted in his firing from the show. But it appears Isaiah has made a turnaround, and is now among the many celebs lending their name to the opposition of Prop 8. The No H8 campaign was launched by photographer Adam Bouska and his partner Jeff Parshley, and several celebrities have gotten on board,... »
Knight Given The OK To Quit Grey's Anatomy?
18 June 2009 1:00 AM, PDT | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight's request to quit the hit medical drama three years before his contract expires has reportedly been granted by show boss Shonda Rhimes.
Sources tell Entertainment Weekly magazine Knight had grown tired of his character's lack of good storylines and asked series creator Rhimes to let him leave.
His character, George O'Malley, appeared to die in the final episode of the most recent season of the show.
The actor's experience on the series has provided career and personal highs and lows - fans loved his character but he was was forced to 'come out' as a gay man after former co-star Isaiah Washington referred to him as a "f**got" during an on-set fight with castmate Patrick Dempsey in October 2006. »
#Foxfail: The network — and everyone else involved — needs to apologize. But who is going to make them?
29 May 2009 11:10 AM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
Yesterday we posted an article titled How Fox Packaged Homophobia as Entertainment which examines exactly why last week's episode of So You Think You Can Dance was so blatantly homophobic and outrageous.
What you'll find in it is an analytical piece that breaks down step-by-step what the producers deliberately did in creating the segment that humiliated Misha Belfer and Mitchel Kibel, the same-sex dancers who appeared on the episode.
What you won't find in the piece is much emotion as it's a news article written to communicate a set of facts to the reader in as an unbiased fashion as possible. But that doesn't mean I wasn't feeling a great deal of emotion as I wrote the article.
In fact, I was furious as I wrote every word. And you should be furious as you read every word.
I'm not sure I've ever been more angry over a single television program in my life. »

If T.R. Knight is really leaving "Grey's Anatomy", how should he do it?
14 April 2009 1:00 PM, PDT | AfterElton.com | See recent AfterElton.com news »
After months of "will he or won't he?", gay reporter sprite Michael Ausiello is reporting that out Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight will be leaving the long-running show at the end of the season ... maybe.
We have the spoiler details below, and some suggestions for making his potential exit less ... lame.
*Note - This is my first attempt at "Photoshop". Growing up, we were the last family on our block to switch from Beta to VHS, I still have boxes of 80's music cassette tapes I listen to, and I finally bit the bullet and replaced my Dreamcast game system with an Xbox. And once again, I've come late to the party.
According to Ausiello, T.R.'s character George will join the Army as a medic and in the final episode of the season will be seriously injured in the line of duty, leaving his fate up in the air. »
