Go Izzy!

Grey's Anatomy's Issiah Washington (Dr. Preston Burke) is apparently a giant weenie. In case you didn't already know, I refer you back to J&M's previous post on his on-the-set upset a few months back, when he threw down with McDreamy and unleashed a verbal attack on T.R. Knight, who then was seemingly forced to 'come out' to the press.

Well, Washington decided to rehash events at the Golden Globes last Monday -- in a completely inappropriate fashion, live and on the air:

During an interview in the press room after the show's best-drama win, Washington denied his involvement in a heated on-set incident in October during which he allegedly used a homophobic slur. "No, I did not call (co-star) T.R. (Knight) a faggot," Washington said. "Never happened, never happened." [abc]

Here's where it gets good... the fabulous Katherine Heigl (Izzy Stevens) came to T.R.'s defense and knocked Washington down a peg:

Rather than soothing the situation, his comments left Heigl seething. "I'm going to be really honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. Period," Heigl told "Access Hollywood" at a Golden Globe after-party. "I'm sorry, that did not need to be said. I'm not OK with it." She called the comments "hurtful," characterizing the incident as one that should be handled privately among the show's cast and crew. "I don't think (Washington) means it the way he comes off," Heigl said. "But T.R. is my best friend. … I will use every ounce of energy I have to take you down if you hurt his feelings." Knight, who said soon after the October fracas that he is gay, appeared on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" Tuesday to discuss the original incident and Washington's recent comments. "He referred to me as a faggot. Everyone heard it," Knight said of the October squabble. [abc]

Go Izzy. Go Izzy...
