Buzz Bits: T.R. talks to Ellen, Heigl Speaks Out & Obama's Off and Running!

GREY'S ANATOMY's T.R. Knight & Katherine Heigl are best pals. And they're speaking out about the f-word slurs allegedly hurled on the set of their show. Watch it!

T.R. Knight is on Ellen’s talk show today. He’s talking about his decision to come out and all the fuss about the on-set fracas that lead up to it. (Ellen calls him “McYummy!”) And yes, he insists that Isaiah Washington did use the f-word on the Grey’s set. Meanwhile, Katherine Heigl is not cool with anybody talking trash about her best gay bud, T.R. I love her! Meanwhile, Isaiah Washington still insists it never happened. (It's in the second part of the linked clip.)

Whoa. Things are going to be kind of tense on the Grey's Anatomy set whenver these folks all get together again...

Meanwhile...

Obama’s gonna run! And he’s in favor of gay civil unions... Let’s see what’s happens with this, eh?

Olivia’s gonna cruise! And Logo’s making a TV-variety special all about it.

Rachael Ray’s gonna keep talking! For two more years.. That’s a lot of “evoo!”

Two gay German soccer stars have come out! Anonymously... Okay, they’ve just participated in an in-depth story in a German magazine, telling what it’s like to be secretly gay in the intense professional soccer world.

Here! TV gets goth with gay vampires on its new series, The Lair... It’s death by hickie! (Or would that be “undeath”?)

The Jack Bauer doll is on its way. You’d have it now, except that Kiefer Sutherland was torturing it. (Plus—see Kiefer hanging with his pants down! Gasp!)

Is the Rob Lowe character on Brothers & Sisters, like, a total closet gay? Will Calista be his beard? Someone thinks so...

“Hey, that gay boy-band dude can drink more than you!” Ha!

And, oh my goodness... The AfterEllen blog has an amazing vintage clip from The Electric Company with Rita Moreno, which explains all about “punctuation.” I remember this from childhood. It rocks!
