This is from the NY Daily News and since I'm so busy with Golden Globe nominations this morning, I'm going to post their item verbatim:

Even without a script, the cast of "Grey's Anatomy" generated plenty of drama Wednesday when they showed up to support picketing writers outside the fabled Paramount Studios lot.

Katherine Heigl, who plays Izzie Stevens, and T.R. Knight, who plays her on-screen love interest George O'Malley, were posing for pictures and giving interviews - when controversial former cast member Isaiah Washington showed up. Washington, who played Dr. Preston Burke, was fired from the show in June amid tension that began when he allegedly used a gay slur to refer to Knight and used the word again during a Golden Globes appearance.

He has since apologized, met with gay leaders and checked into rehab on the advice of his handlers.

He now appears on "The Bionic Woman."

Washington's presence underscored the symbolism of "Diversity Day" in which writers and actors who are gay or a minority were specifically asked to appear on the picket line.

Grey's creator and writer Shonda Rhimes, considered one of the most powerful black women in Hollywood, was among those picketing at Paramount.

Asked if Washington was with the Grey's group, Heigl, who had previously publicly criticized Washington told The Daily News, "He's not with me."

But Washington denied there were problems with his former co-workers.

"They're former castmates. I've been in over 25 movies, I have lots of former castmates." he said.

Washington later posed for a picture with Justin Chambers, who plays Alex Karev.

The stars joined fellow actors Rex Lee from "Entourage," Amy Brenneman of "Private Practice," "Motorcycle Diaries" screenwriter Jose Rivera, and other cast and crew from "CSI Miami," "Cold Case," "The Shield" and "The Bionic Woman" to support the television and screenwriters in their six-week strike.

The writers are negotiating their payments for work shown on the Internet. Talks were broken off last week when the writers walked away from the table.
