Not surprisingly, I am firmly in the camp of those who believe that KH says too much too often. She needs to let both of the injured parties heal their differences. The comments about we don't know when he'll be back or for how long were unnecessary. She very purposefully gave an answer that makes the situation seem less hopeful than the Isaiah fans, and there are many, hope that it is. I do not believe Isaiah is a homophobe for this incident. We've been through this a thousand times. One slip of the tongue and responding to the baiting of a dogged reporter does not make one a homophobe. He does not have a history of gay bashing or problems with the gay community. People who want to continue with the name calling are not one bit better than he is. As far as Katherine is concerned, in my opinion it was inappropriate to publicly take sides against one of her castmates to begin with. Do what you want privately, but if the show wants to heal and remain together, she needs to keep

The cast was fabulous. I give kudos to TR, he was very respectful...when asked questions about IW...he said...I'm here.
Katherine Heigl needs a muzzle - she is fueling speculations. All the other cast members were noncommittal, no specifics. KH, for someone, who in her own words "is not privy to any information from the higher ups..." ...should "just not speak in public"...here is what she should have said...I have no detail and no comments.
We all have been inundated with the cause and effect. The powers that be themselves have been pretty mum about details and press releases...yet KH has made it on the red carpet and elsewhere and she is the only soundbite everyone is quoting on a regular basis, like she is the expert of the matter.
Please KH "SHHHHHH"...don't feed the media machine!
Your cast and company need to heal...and the public do not want anymore news...about IW woes or Grey's Anatomy in the headlines. We only want to see spoilers for the next episode...I wan

Oh and I am so glad that Chandra won...she was up against some amazing actress......she is a great person and phenominal actress.

Thank you Randy I am totally with you...Katherine was not the only who spoke all the actors were asked about the subject and I think they all handled it well.

I think people should lay off Katherine. The other night, if you watched, she clearly tried not to be drawn into a discussion about Isaiah despite the reporters' repeated efforts to get a good sound bite out of her. Her vague answers are really all you can expect.
As for her sticking up for T.R. in the first place, or for T.R. giving an interview on Ellen, I refuse to see how either did anything wrong. He's the victim in all of this and she's sticking up for her friend.
I'm sorry, but what Isaiah did was awful. I do not think he should be fired and I think he is genuinely sorry it happened and doing all he can to put it behind him. And I wish everyone would let the whole issue go. But to point the finger at T.R. or Katherine seems patently unfair.

KH just didn't think about what she was saying at the GG awards show...I doubt it has anything to do with her lack of a storyline now that Jeffery Dean Morgan is no longer on GA. KH was just defending TR Knight, but she could have left well enough alone and let TR take care of himself. I don't think much of TR Knight either, going on Ellen D's show as he did. Everything should have been kept within their little group.

Congratulations to the cast and writers of Grey's Anatomy! Another congratulations goes out to Chandra Wilson. One for winning her award and two for her awesome speech during the show and for her interviews after the show. She is truly an inspiration and a phenomenal woman. Once again, I must comment on Katherine Heigl for opening her big mouth when the rest of the cast is trying to let the hype calm down. She is behaving very childish and I really hope that people start to see this. And I agree with TexasGreysFan that Katherine should take her own advice and just not speak in public!!! Oh yeah and I hope people see that she is only doing this immature stuff to try and get noticed because now that Denny is not on the show anymore...she really does not have the public's attention anymore. Guess what Katherine...if you were more of a team player...maybe you would get some recognition!

yes you're exactly right Carol -- KH's original comments were very "high school", totally unnecessary, and frankly embarrassing for her. i'm surprised they haven't put a muzzle on her yet; "they" meaning the network/producers, etc.

It was reported on Celebrity Baby Blog around Christmas that Ellen is rumored to be pregnant. The posting on Celebrity Baby Blog said that a reporter on a tv station in Seattle (that had some kind of a local talk show) said "Ellen will be needing a real-life doctor soon." 'Supposedly' Ellen said on a Seattle radio show that she was expecting. But later, the story could not be verified. This Seattle reporter was apparently 'swamped' with emails and calls asking about Ellen. The reporter later issued a statement denying that she said anything about Ellen 'needing a real-life doctor soon.' That's all I know. It seems like everything is deny, deny, deny. It's a pregnancy for God's sake, not some highly classified state secret.
But, I think Ellen looks 'larger' when she stands to the side and she looks like she's gained a little weight in her face. We'll know in a couple of months!
As for KH and her comment about IW. I think the very first comment she made at the GG--part of it wa

First of all, congratulations to the cast and show- I'm a big fan.
Second, whether or not Ellen is pregnant, the dress was very unflattering- black is not her color.
I don't think KH's comments were inappropriate- as it's stated above, she repeatedly refused to speculate about Isaiah. Too bad she didn't say
he's a pompous, homophobic jerk, who has some real issues.
I wouldn't miss him one bit, if he didn't return.

Yeah, I was really surprised that KH made the comments she did.....especially if the cast is trying to heal and it appears they are.
I think (hope) it's just the way Ellen is standing.....I think we would have heard way more about this by now if it were true - they would need to move MerDer along a lot quicker than they are!

i agree w/you Texas....KH should remain quiet in this situation, she's said more than enough already and a heck of a lot more than even the people directly involved!
and i haven't heard anything about a pregnancy either! although her dress does look maternity-ish.

Whoa! Ellen Pompeo pregnant? Are you sure? Where did you hear/read this?

I was just reading an article on ew.com:
"Heigl, who has been the most critical of Washington, told E!'s Ryan Seacrest she was "very hopeful that things will work out and be okay, and that Isaiah is taking the necessary steps to redeem himself."
When asked if the cast knew when Washington would return to the set, she told Seacrest, "There's a lot of confusion," adding that "we don't know when he'll be back or for how long."
I like Heigl but, she needs to take her own advice and "not speak in public". The comment that "we don't know when he'll be back or for how long" was highly inappropriate. Shame on you Katie.

How far along is Ellen Pompeo in her pregnancy? (look at last photo). Her pregnancy was reported, very briefly, last month around the same time her engagement to Chris Ivery was announced. Nothing else has been said about her pregnancy since, though. In the photo she definitely looks pregnant, though she's standing in a way that makes it a little difficult to see completely.

I agree luvthisshow - IW earned this as much as anyone else - however, apparently for a person to go into rehab for uttering a slur? All the best to him with his treatment. He is the only one who could be "Burke". I'm really happy that Chandra recognized him......

January 29th, 2007 10:45 AM
:) couldn't be happier for all of them and extra kudos to Chandra for getting the recognition she so deserves!
as i look at the nice pictures, i can't help thinking that the cast picture just looks wrong -- i know he's missing for a good reason, but IW earned that win as much as any other actor in the show. i hope he's doing well.
