“Grey’s Anatomy” star checks out: T.R. Knight, who plays George on “Grey’s Anatomy” and was outed by his now infamous ex-costar Isaiah Washington, is reportedly preparing to leave the show.

Apparently, T.R. specifically requested that the series creator Shonda Rhimes give his character a jelly donut in one episode. Rhimes, not a fan of jelly and donuts, refused. Thus, Knight, an aficionado of jelly and donuts, asked to be released from the show. Some fans even speculate that Knight will be getting his own TV show themed around the idea of owning a bakery.”Twilight” director won’t direct sequel: Catherine Hardwicke, who helmed the box-office hit “Twilight,” will not be directing the sequel. Scheduling conflicts appear to be the reason, but other problems fueled the breakup.

Meyer chose Edward and Hardwicke chose Jacob. Tense filming sessions and debates ensued, leaving the two women at odds with each other. A new director has not been chosen to direct the sequel to “Twilight”, “New Moon”.
