Isaiah Washington
Thu, May 24, 2007
Plus, Bobby Trendy Has A Side Kick.


The notion that scandal-ridden actor Isaiah Washington would make a pro-gay PSA for GLAAD borders on the absurd. The entire set-up's like a bad plotline from an equally bad prime time soap: actor fucks up, goes to "rehab", makes PSA telling people not to fuck up. It's ridiculous! We've all read the words, but now you can see the - um - real deal above.

Meanwhile, TMZ also has an uber-bizarro video of Bobby Trendy and an American Idol reject (aka one of Trendy's horrible homo spawn) fagging it up. Warning: this video is not for the faint of heart. It is, however, perfect for anyone looking to call someone a faggot. Isaiah Washington take note.

Ch-ch-check it out, after the jump...

GLAAD Approved, Gay Targeted

Grey's Anatomy's Isaiah Washington will be doing double duty tonight. Not only does the faggot-flinging actor's popular medical drama end its season, but Washington will also be appearing in his well-publicized GLAAD-sponsored public service announcements. The 30-second commercials are as much the actor's attempt to make up for inadvertently outing costar TR Knight, as a go at public penance.

No word on whether the public will buy it, but GLAAD has released the text from Washington's socially-conscious slot:

Words have power. The power to express love, happiness and joy. They also have the power to heal. When you use words that demean a person because of their sexual orientation, race or gender, you send a message of hate. A very powerful message. But we all have the power to demand better from one another and from ourselves. We have the power to heal and change the world by the words we use.
Of the PSA's, GLAAD president Neil Giuliano says,
When Isaiah Washington lends his voice to that message — when he acknowledges the personal responsibility that he and each of us have to create a culture that rejects prejudice — it advances the kind of dialogue that’s absolutely essential to changing hearts and minds.
But is Washington really taking personal responsibility or is he just delivering a publicist-endorsed message? Although, with rumors flying that Washington won't be returning to Grey's, he better take all the screen time he can get!

Controversial Actor Gets Boot?

washingtonsreturn.jpg
TR Knight's not the only Grey's Anatomy star grabbing headlines this week. Rumor has it Isaiah Washington will not be returning to the hit ABC series. At least not on a regular basis.

Us quotes a proverbial insider: “He will not be back as a series regular". The actor - whose faggot flinging led Knight to come out of the closet - may appear in a few episodes. The article also claims that Knight didn't earn many friends during his two season stay on the set.

Katherine Heigl, 28, said her costar “just needs to stop talking” after Washington used the f-word again at the January 15 Golden Globes, but the damage had been done.

“The cast – especially the women – just don’t like him,” says a Grey’s source.

“The stars of the show really felt ABC made a mistake by keeping Isaiah [after his controversial behavior].”

Washington's flacks deny the rumors and claimsthe actor's still a part of the Grey's team. The representative does concede, however, that they have yet to receive a contract.

We're on the edge of our seats!!! Okay, not really, but we bet Washigton's shitting bricks...

Brought To You Buy GLAAD!

Isaiah Washington's making a special reconciliatory trip to Gayville. The Grey's Anatomy star came under fire for his faggot flinging - a liberal linguistic lob that led to TR Knight's coming out - and now he's appearing in two GLAAD-sponsored public service announcements.

Our black sister Lauren Williams over at Stereohyped tipped us off to this Us Weekly "exclusive", which reads:

Says an insider, “Isaiah is committed to making amends.”

The actor's publicist, Howard Bragman, confirmed the ad on Wednesday. "We're gonna have — I want to say at least two versions of it at this point," Bragman said. "We may broaden our message a little."

Well, we're just tickled a pretty shade of pink. Not only because we endorse rehabilitated, apologetic Washington's publicist-endorsed efforts - which we do, begrudgingly), but also in eager anticipation for the announcement itself. What the hell can he say? Something like, "It's not nice to call someone a faggot backstage" and then, "It's not nice to call someone a faggot at the Golden Globes"? Hopefully they've got good screen writer's. Also, we're so pleased to know that Washington and GLAAD's friendship lives on. Mazel to the t-o-v!
