What's happening in Hollywood this week? Let's find out.
As the rumors are confirmed that Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington was fired earlier this month, Washington lashes out with a public statement that the dismissal was actually due to racism. In an interview with Newsweek, Washington states that he tried to make amends for the anti-gay slur used on more than one occasion back in January against co-worker T.R. Knight. He later made a public apology and the only statement issued by ABC at the time was that his actions were "unacceptable". Now, it appears that Washington won't be back for the new season and according to his Newsweek interview, he believes it's because he refused to "act like a submissive black man at work".
