Grey’s Anatomy star TR Knight and his boyfriend Mark Cornelsen leave The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
In Case You Didn't Know —
... condemn Washington’s use of the F-word, even as his co-stars (Katherine Heigl, Patrick Dempsey, etc.) rallied to his defense. (The incident led Knight to come out as a gay man.) The boss lady eventually released a statement denouncing Washington’s behavior, but word is, it was too little, too late. Nonetheless, my Grey’s source insists Knight does not want out of his contract for that reason, adding, “He just feels it’s time to move on.”

T.R. Knight Leaving Grey’s Anatomy
Too Much Free Time —
... Entertainment Weekly reports T.R. Knight is quitting the show. I don’t blame him. The show has run completely off the rails, with the Izzie/Denny/Alex Love Triangle of WTF, Mary McDonnell’s offensive portrayal of a surgeon with Aspberger’s, the undeserved firing of Brooke Smith, the new weirdo intern who tried to take out her own appendix…shall I go on? Of course, I’m still watching (well, helloooo, Kevin McKidd). But the character of George hasn’t had anything to do in about a season and a half. So go forth, young ...

Grey’s Anatomy Writers: A Brain Tumor Would Be Too Good for T.R. Knight
Vulture —
... T.R. Knight has asked to be released from his contract, a request that both ABC and Grey's show-runner Shonda Rhimes appear poised to grant. 'They're working out the details now,' whispers an ABC insider." Astonishingly, the show's writers seem strangely amenable to forgoing the now-standard long, drawn-out death from brain tumor they usually inflict on their insubordinate actors. So how will they kill Knight's Dr. O'Malley? We hope it's a shark attack!

... So let's up the publicly gay actor quotient so we'll never have to endure reel after reel from the same hideous junket of some actor talking about stubble and stuff. It might mean that, for a while, until we grow up a little bit, that only these gay actors can play the gay parts (and vice versa, sorry T.R. and Neil Pats). But it's a price we're willing to pay to never, ever again have to read anything like what Chris Potter, a Queer as Folk actor, told MSNBC a while back: ...

... Knight does not want out of his contract for that reason, adding, “He just feels it’s time to move on.”
Knight’s probable exit comes at a time when his character, George, has been given little to do, save for express concern over Izzie’s mental state. There’s no word if he’ll be given a big on-screen send-off or be banished to Seattle Grace’s parking garage with fellow gay Dr. Hahn. (I smell a spin-off!)
