The National Enquirer is reporting that Grey's Anatomy costars Patrick Dempsey and Isaiah Washington got into a fight on the set of the hit ABC drama on Monday. While Patrick, Washington, and costar T.R. Knight were waiting to do a scene, Washington said something nasty to Knight, and Patrick stood up for him. That's when Washington got into a shoving match with Dempsey, and one source says that Washington even tried to choke him, then stormed off the set. He later came back to finish the scene.
Supposedly, Washington is upset over the whole "McDreamy" nonsense that shows like The Insider and Entertainment Tonight and gossip mags are pushing. To which I say, "amen." Though it's not enough to McChoke somebody. I mean, that's just McStupid.

Update: Dempsey and Washington confirm the fight, though they say no punches were thrown.

How sad, if true as Washington's Burke is one of my favorite characters. When I find out an actor portraying a fave character is in real life a jerk, it can ruin the fun of watching the show they're on. I hope this is just another of the National Enquirer bull$hit stories.

Could it be Washington doesn't like his story line being on the back burner? So far, at least, we haven't seen too much of Burke while both George and McDreamy have been getting alot of screen time. Someone is a tad sensitive.

Did anyone read the People Magazine version of this story? Washington goes, "We didn't throw any punches, our faces are too beautiful for that." Gag me! I mean, yeah they're hot, but still. Cocky much?
