      *In the latest news on the Isaiah Washington front, two actresses have gone public to express their support for the “Grey’s Anatomy” star, who is currently in anger management rehab for allegedly calling co-star T.R. Knight a “faggot,” and then using the offensive term again at the Golden Globes to deny that he ever said it.     

      Gay actress Tammy Lynn Michaels, partner of rock star Melissa Etheridge, defended the actor in a posting on her blog, Hollywood Farm Girl. She says the Isaiah Washington that she has come to know through playdates with their respective children “is not that man” described in the press as a hot-tempered, homophobic outcast.     

      Michaels writes:

he is not a bad man ...
i forgive his words,
because truth be told
i do not believe
the word
faggot
lives in his heart

      Sharon Stone has also come to Washington’s defense, telling the New York Post that his anger management deal is ridiculous.     

      "'I've been called a b*tch - and a lot worse - for years. And you know what, so what? People who think that aren't going to change their minds,” she told the paper. "And I wouldn't dream of sending them to therapy to 'rehabilitate' their feelings. How absurd. Please, I call all my gay friends 'big fags'."
