Are TR Knight and Katherine Heigl really leaving their show???

I'm backstage at the NAACP Image Awards and "Grey's Anatomy" co-star James Pickens Jr. (pictured above with TR Knight and Patrick Dempsey) was here with best actress in a TV drama winner Chandra Wilson and she show's creator and head writer Shondra Wilson. "Grey's won for best drama as well.

He was asked about the reports that surfaced earlier week, quoting him, that Katherine Heigl and T.R. Knight are planning to leave the Thursday night medical drama. But he seemed to confuse things further when asked about the reports.

"Supposedly the quote is mine," he said. "We've been living with that rumor for quite a long time. When the qiuestion was posed to me, I was answering in congratulating them in whatever they were gonna do. I had no special informatioon...It's pretty much status quo on our show."

Oh, great. Rhimes didn't do anything to clarify things, just stood by Pickens, smiling.
Sheesh!
