Isaiah Washington's latest moves...

Well, being controversial whether it be homophobic or driving drunk is certainly the ticket to get you the big seat on "Larry King Live." Paris Hilton, just a day out of jail, is to appear tomorrow night to talk about her supposed metamorphosis. That oughta take about five minutes.
And on July 2, Larry will welcome with open arms Isaiah Washington who has had some outrageous things to say about former costars TR Knight and Patrick Dempsey in recent days. (See earlier post) I gotta wonder what Washington is doing to his career in the name of attempting to clear his name or get his side of the story out. Besides his credibility issues, The Hollywood Reporter reports that Washington has been in preliminary discussions with NBC about a deal, although the talks have stalled, according to people familiar with the situation. It was not clear whether NBC was interested in bringing the outspoken actor onto an existing series or casting him in a new project.
The actor told Entertainment Weekly that he and his agent "are sorting through a ton of offers in both film and TV ... There is one network in particular that's very interested, but I don't want to say anything specific until it's a done deal," the magazine quoted him as saying.
Washington made news during the past week with a couple of charged interviews, including one suggesting that Knight should have been fired instead of him and accusing Knight of milking the homophobic remark incident to get more screen time and better pay.
