In what seems like an unanticipated consequence of yesterday's National Enquirer report that choke-happy Grey's Anatomy surgeon Isaiah Washington may have let slip a gay slur directed at the sexual preference of a castmate (well, two slurs, as long as we're keeping track) while in the process of trying to strangle the smirk off Dr. McDreamy's face, actor T.R. Knight has outed himself to People, apparently ending minutes of controversy surrounding the identity of the target of Washington's insult. We hope that the network or the show's producers try to get their hot-headed cast member some help for his rage issues, before a thoughtless remark about the set "being full of skinny bitches" made during his next blow-up prompts devastatingly thin co-star Ellen Pompeo to reveal on the cover of Vanity Fair that she's long struggled with an eating disorder.
