T. R. Knight

It was reported last night on KABC news that actor T. R. Knight came out in an interview with People magazine. Allegedly, there was a brawl on the set between Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey where Washington called Knight (who was not involved in the fisticuffs) a 'faggot.'

When Grey's Anatomy first aired, I did a search of Knight, and found a most impressive list of credits. He is, as I'm sure all the actors on the show must be, a consummate professional. The wording of his coming out was certainly a class act all the way (it isn't as if there is much precedence to compare it to). He certainly deserves to hear from the community as a result. T. R. Knight may be contacted c/o

Now, as far as Washington's alleged use of the slur (I haven't seen any actual corroboration as of yet), if it did occur, he better damn well have a better spin doctor than Mel Gibson. And he better get going on doing damage control immediately, if he hasn't already done so.

Frankly, I was already sick of the "McDreamy vs. McSteamy" crap every week. Life's too short as it is to be wasted on such nonsense. Not that I don't have my own list of guilty pleasures... one could hardly watch much network programming for the well-acted and well-written programs alone.

Finally, someone posted something about that dress. It was a Nicole Miller imported strapless wedding gown in silk charmeuse, "softly shirred at the bodice and waist The seamed dropped waist falls to a floor length A-line skirt, and a godet inset creates a small train in the back, with boning in the bodice and sticky elastic on top for a secure fit." And of course, it is now available at Nordstrom, according to the ABC website. I'd have to turn in my gay card and be banished from crossing the MacArthur Causeway or the Bay Bridge if I didn't say that this was one of the most spectacular pieces of couture I've seen in on the small screen. And I'm a former shmatteh, mind you. Normally I could care less what the actors are wearing, but every rule has its exceptions.

We now return you to our normally scheduled mad left-of-center rant: So, didya hear about the Kazakh comic who does an imitation news shtick that was refused admittance to a White House press conference? Male prostitutes, no problem. But no comedians. I guess the press secretary didn't want the competition....
