Katherine Heigl is the New Isaiah Washington
2007-12-08 09:23:00
Does Katherine not understand that Isaiah got into trouble for running his mouth and she may find herself in dookey, too? She's always bitching, complaining, bitching, complaining - just like me, but she's making enough money to STFU already and smile.After knocking the movie Knocked Up, in which she starred, as being "a little bit sexist" in a recent interview, Katherine Heigl has clarified to PEOPLE that it was the "best filming experience of my career.""It's important to me to take a minute and clarify the quote about Knocked Up in Vanity Fair," Heigl, 29, says in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE. "I was responding to previous reviews about the movie the interviewer brought to my attention. My motive was to encourage other women like myself to not take that element of the movie too seriously and to remember that it's a broad comedy."Although I stand behind my opinion, I'm disheartened that it has become the focus of my experience with the movie. The truth is, it was the bes...

First Look: Isaiah Washington on BIONIC WOMAN
2007-08-30 17:20:00
It’s time for everbody’s favorite game show — “Fun with Photos!” Here’s how you play. Take a look at the just released photo of Isaiah Washington’s guest stint on BIONIC WOMAN. Think of a caption. Post way in the comments. Yes folks, it’s that easy. In all seriousness though. We’re happy to see Isaiah Washington is getting a second chance to redeem himself. Everyone makes mistakes and last season’s GREY’S ANATOMY misstep shouldn’t automatically destroy the man’s career. Here’s hoping he’s learned his lesson and more importantly that others learn from what he went through. Intolerance of any kind won’t to be tolerated — and if you’re ignorant enough to think it is — well, NBC’s going to send the BIONIC WOMAN to kick your butt. Thanks to TV with MeeVee for the Tip!

Star Jones On: Isaiah Washington, Britney Spears, Celebrity Gossip Culture
2007-08-22 17:58:00
Star Jones sucks. The former co-host of The View, who misled viewers about how she lost recent weight and essentially begged companies to provide her with free schwag for her wedding, has somehow landed a new show on Court TV. We wish we could ignore the woman that makes us yearn for Rosie O’Donnell, but Jones covered two of our favorite actors/nut jobs during her inaugural show Monday. First, she spoke with guest Isaiah Washigton, who Star non-sensically dubbed “the whipping boy for bad behavior.” The former Grey’s Anatomy actor and future Bionic Woman guest star said of his experiences: “I hope everything I’ve gone through in the last eight months has not been in vain [and] these words disappear from the vernacular.” What a martyr. “I didn’t sense bitterness [from Isaiah],” Reynolds told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show Monday. “If anything, it was great disappointment, and I understand that. But the only th...

David-the-Tool Beckham did not play for the LA Galaxy today. The soccer team's star player hurted his widdle ankle during practice earlier this week and was therefore benched. What did he do instead? Well he is probably preparing with his Posh wife to attend the major party being thrown in their honor by Stepford Wife and Mo-husband Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise (plus somehow Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are involved). The lavish reception is being thrown as a welcome to America festival. Invitations were sent out in red velvet with gold embossed print (gross) to pretty much anyone that might wet their pants to get to meet the two Brit stars. More details on the party, which is tomorrow, continue to be revealed:Two of Hollywood's biggest stars -- Tom Cruise and Will Smith -- are hosting a private, welcome-to-L.A. bash for the Beckhams at the Museum of Contemporary Art's Geffen Contemporary in downtown Los Angeles.

Idiot of the Century - Isaiah Washington Blames Patrick Dempsey and T.R. Kn
2007-07-03 19:00:00
Isaiah Washington has decided it was someone else's fault that he used an anti-gay slur a few months ago. Now it's Patrick Dempsey's fault for being late to the set.Interviewed on Larry King Live on Monday (the interview was taped on Friday), Washington said he regretted not confronting Dempsey the first time he was late, so he challenged him the second time. But Dempsey wanted to delay the scene more to wait for Grey's star Ellen Pompeo, who plays Dempsey's love interest, before shooting began."I said I don't need Ellen, I can act," Washington told King. "And that was the moment that sent it into a different zone."According to Washington, Dempsey erupted. "He became unhinged, sprayed spittle in my face," said Washington, in his first television interview about the controversy. "I'm asking him why is he screaming at me. ... He just becomes irate."That's when Washington said "a lot of things I'm not really proud of.""I said several bad words," he recalled, quoting himself as...

Isaiah Washington Won't Shut Up, Says He's Not A Plantation Slave Who Says
2007-06-29 22:53:00
Isaiah Washington is at it again!!! And, since I have a gossip blog, I feel like I should cover his nonsense. He's going to cause me to go into early retirement. Isaiah had an interview with Newsweek titled "Diary of an Angry Black Man" Here are some excerpts:"I said a lot of negative things that were never reported, but there was one word that caught everyone?s attention, particularly someone who wasn?t even in the room with us. It was a fight between two men that shouldn?t have happened. But someone heard the booming voice of a black man and got really scared and that was the beginning of the end for me. I see that now, but I didn?t then.""If a black man can?t get forgiveness in this country, when so many other people like Robert Downey Jr. and the governor of California get second and third chances ? I think that says a lot about race and this country."My mother had several cross-dressing friends who she sometimes referred to with names I?d never use, but she didn?t know any bet...

Diary Of A Mad Black Man

Isaiah Washington's campaign to damage his career even further by venting to the media is continuing. Washington is now pointing to race as the catalyst for his departure from "Grey's Anatomy."Washington tells Newsweek magazine "Well, it didn't help me on the set that I was a black man who wasn't a mush-mouth Negro walking around with his head in his hands all the time. I didn't speak like I'd just left the plantation and that can be a problem for people sometime. I had a person in human resources tell me after this thing played out that 'some people' were afraid of me around the studio. I asked her why, because I'm a 6-foot-1, black man with dark skin and who doesn't go around saying 'Yessah, massa sir' and 'No sir, massa' to everyone? It's nuts when your presence alone can just scare people, and that made me a prime candidate to take the heat in a dysfunctional family."You can subscribe to Washington's theories or reject them but no one one can deny that Washington...

Isaiah Washington has been in discussions with NBC about working on a show with the network. The talks have stalled and it is unclear whether or not Washington would be joining a new show or an existing one.

There is one network in particular that's very interested, but I don't want to say anything specific until it's a done deal."

Isaiah Washington Sucks and Isaiah Washington is Stupid

Isaiah Washington says T.R. Knight should have been fired. "They fired the wrong guy."Isaiah sounds like a kid. He's basically saying, 'he started it!' Isaiah claims T.R.'s the one who decided to broadcast the idea that the slur was targeted at him and thus created a negative work environment.He accused T.R. of wanting a salary increase and a more meaningful role. In regards to Knight's appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he confirmed that Isaiah used his sexuality against him, Washington asserts: "That's a lie. I used the word during a disagreement with Patrick. I apologized for that. We shook hands and went back to work."Washington pointed out that he also participated in a public service announcement where he spoke out against homophobic, racist and sexist language: "I did everything I said I would do. I offered to go to counseling, to do a public service announcement. I wanted everyone to know I was remorseful."He says that he was shocked when he found out that A...

We shook hands and went back to work," Washington told the Houston Chronicle.Knight on the other hand, told talk show host Ellen Degeneres that Washington used the slur against him and that "everyone (on the set) heard" him do so.Washington disagrees.

Gays Rally Around Washington
2007-06-20 21:33:00
Often times in life the damnedest things can happen. Gay and lesbian activist Jasmyne Cannick has begun circulating a petition for ABC to bring Isaiah Washington back to "Grey's Anatomy." Washington had been given his walking papers after using an anti-gay epithet to refer to cast mate T.R. Knight last year. Despite quite an intense and seemingly productive PR campaign to save his job Washington was still axed. Cannick believes that Washington's ousting was not entirely due to his unpopular comments but instead a decision based on race. Cannick argues that ABC has adopted a recent policy of pushing black actors off their network. Cannick writes in a petition to ABC: It's a fact that Isaiah has been the target of an orchestrated campaign focused on getting him fired from "Grey's Anatomy" since the incident with his co-stars was unleashed in the media. And while we don't approve of his use of the f-word at the Golden Globes, Washington has since apologized and go onto to p...

Gay Activist Moves to get Isaiah Washington Back on 'Grey's Anatomy'
2007-06-19 19:53:00
Isaiah Washington has at least one fan in the gay community. Gay activist Jasmyne Cannick has started a campaign to get Washington back on Grey's Anatomy- and she already has 1,233 signatures of support. The petition states that Washington's firing further adds to a disturbing new trend at ABC wherein minority actors have been dismissed at an alarming rate over the past two years. While we don't approve of (Washington's) use of the F-word at the Golden Globes, Washington has since apologized and gone on to perform community service by way of a public service announcement for the very organizations that have been orchestrating his dismissal. But it seems it wasn't enough. She tells the New York Post, Isaiah has done more for the gay and lesbian community than T.R. Knight did in or out of the closet. He did what they asked him to do, and now they want to make sure he will never work again. At what point is enough? A spokesperson for the Washington says, We appreciate Cannick's s...

Thanks Perez for this one. Entertainment Weekly has interviewed Hollywood's newest blacklist member Isaiah Washington. Here are the highlights from the interview. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: How are you feeling about what happened last week? Did you think it was fair?ISAIAH WASHINGTON: I don't know if it's a question of ''fair.'' I'm saddened by the outcome. I did everything that the producers and the network asked me to do. I came back under great duress and stress, and thought I was doing the job I was hired to do. I thought that was going to speak for my future at Grey's, but apparently that wasn't the same vision that the network and studio had for me. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Why do you think the decision was made by ABC? Was Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes happy about it? ISAIAH WASHINGTON: I knew she was aware of the decision. But you have to understand that she's at the helm of one of the top-rated scripted shows on television. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Have you heard fr...
