ISAIAH WASHINGTON IS FLAMINGLY FIRED FROM GREY'S ANATOMY.

The Associated Press confirmed that the African-Amercian actor has been let go. This is due to his gay tirades at the beginning of the season that led to: cast mate T.R. Knight outing himself pre-maturely on Ellen, a donnybrook with Co-star Patrick Dempsey, and the awkward dealings with his most vocal critic- Knocked Up star Kathrine Hiegel (who's hit film finally gave her leverage in still on-going contract dispute.)

"I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore," Washington stated, quoting the famed media satire Network when ABC TV said that his contract option "was not renewed for next season."

He tried more acts than Don Imus to end the dispute: including therapy, meeting with Gay & ####### Alliance Against Defamation and other gay groups to apologize and those meetings birthed a PSA about words having power.

For now, the recovering bigot is "continuing his charity work in
Sierra Leone, which a DNA test showed to be his ancestral home, and work on
an independent movie."

DESPITE HIS IMMENSE LIKABILITY, IS PATRICK "MCDREAMY" DEMPSEY....
THE MOST HATED AT GREY'S ANATOMY??

Most woman consider him prime breeding material, even lesbians!? Still,
the hero of TV's No. 1 show... may the most reviled among the other cast members, particularly those that are supposed to be his on-air rivals (Issiah {I hate F*&(ots} Washington.)

This feeling is surprising, giving Dempsey's chipper attitude and witty retorts. This charge is also weird, despite other dumb ass/diva attitudes from the rest of the cast: Washington-already mentioned, Knocked Up's Katty Heigl salary fight, stemming from the controversy with forcibly, outed friend T.R. Knight, and Ellen Pompeo's outrageous salary demands and tendency to belittle the 16 hour working crew members.

GREY'S ANATOMY SPIN-OFF IN THE WORKS! (UPDATE)

-Kate Walsh's Dr Addison Montgomery-Shepherd will star.

The show's producers is prepping a two-hour "back-door" pilot that would air at the top of the May ratings sweeps period. It goes with out saying it will do well in the ratings. Still, if become an artistic masterstroke- similar to the ensemble, "new" Hollywood medical drama, it could be on the ABC schedule by fall of 2007.

Update (2/24/07) : Taye Diggs- of the noble, but crashed Groundhog Day as 24 thriller, Daybreak will co-star and executive produce, the stealth May pilot with creator Shondra Rimes. Finally, a rumor has come forward that Karyn Parsons (Fresh Prince of Bel Air, Lush Life) will play a relative of the Diggs character and create working family tension.
