It ain't over till its over… and it is sooooo over!

T.R. Knight has released the official word that he is leaving the series that made him mildly famous, Grey's Anatomy.

He says: "Leaving Grey's Anatomy was not an easy decision for me to make. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to play this character and will miss my fellow cast and crew very much. I continue to wish them the very best, and wholeheartedly thank all of the fans who have supported me and the show with such passion and enthusiasm."

Not to be outdone, creator Shonda Rhimes followed suit and released her own statement regarding Knight's departure.

She adds, "I think I speak for the entire Grey’s Anatomy family when I say we wish T.R. Knight the best in his future endeavors. He is an incredibly talented actor and a person whose strength of character is admired by all of us.”

So George is dead and Izzie lives. But now who will Katherine Heigl bitch to about meaningless crap behind-the-scenes? Sounds like the show needs another resident gay!

Get to work people!

T.R. Knight seems to want to uproot his WHOLE life. After officially being let go of his contract this week from Grey's Anatomy, the actor has decided he wants to field some offers from the Great White Way.

A source reveals: "He wants to get to New York and do theater, but there are no done deals yet."

He has a background in the theater, having performed with the great Patti LuPone in the 2001 revival of Noises Off and it was reported that back in March, he read for the Broadway revival of Lend Me Tenor directed by Stanley Tucci.

We still think it was a BIG mistake leaving Grey's, but if he's out maybe we can get someone younger, hotter, and less whiny to replace him. Oh, yeah we like this idea!

Bye T.R.! Don't let the ER door hit you in the ass on the way out!

We hope he's got a lot of money saved up!

Once again, T. R. Knight's departure from Grey's Anatomy has been confirmed, this time by Entertainment Weekly.

Knight's departure is just another piece of the dramz that has beset the program.

Apparently, series creator Shinda Rhimes had been preparing for Knight to leave, reducing his appearance in the last half of the season so that his absence from the finale would not seem unnatural.

Considering the cliffhanger revelation that Knight's character is the John Doe hit by a bus, it looks like he may not survive into the next season. Duh!

He's in. He's out.

He's back in?

This morning it was reported that T.R. Knight was not returning for the next season of Grey's Anatomy.

But, not so fast, because now there might be hope.

A tweet from show creator Shonda Rhimes suggests that the news of T.R.'s departure is false or as she puts it, "a hilarious, ridiculous rumor."

But is it?

All anyone is sure about is that both he and Katherine Heigl are under contract for another season and judging by Shonda's instant reaction to the news, she clearly wants to keep them on board.

At the fall upfronts for ABC, entertainment boss Stephen McPherson also weighed in on the situation, but gave no definite answer: "They've both signed on [for next season]. I can't say whether or not they'll both be there."

Way to keep the fans dangling.

Our bet: Geroge out, Izzie in.

But we'll just have to wait and see!

It comes as no surprise that T R Knight will not be returning to Grey's Anatomy for the next season, according to new reports.

We're known for a long time that Knight's wanted off the show, which became a point of unbearable contention between the actor and show creator Shonda Rhimes.

Reps for Knight and ABC did not comment.

It is unknown if Knight's best hag, Katherine Heigl, will be joining him in his departure.

While the outpouring of support from straight celebrities was heartwarming, we were very saddened at the lack of turnout from gay and lesbian stars at the Prop 8 rally in West Hollywood on Tuesday night.

Where was Ellen? Where was Neil Patrick? Where was T.R.?

Oh, wait. We know where T.R. was!

There are no reports that we know of that list him as attending last night's rally. Instead, T.R. Knight, was seemingly too busy having dinner at Katsuya restaurant with his boyfriend Mark Cornelsen to show up and lend his support.

We're guessing he doesn't care about ever getting married?

But even if he doesn't care to, you'd think he'd at least want to support his fellow gays.

Hope the food was good!

It was the most talked-about show on TV this week!

In an Entertainment Weekly interview, Grey's Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes answers questions about the gut-wrenching season finale. She addresses rumors, weddings and the future of some of the cast members on the show.

Obviously, if you don't want any spoilers, do NOT read on!

Here are some of the HIGHlights:

Rumors have been swirling all year that Katherine and TR wanted off the show. The season ends with both their characters' lives hanging in the balance. Purely coincidental?
SHONDA RHIMES: I don't think there are any coincidences. I think Katherine's stated publicly that she's happy to stay. I think that there have been lots of rumors about TR, but TR's never said anything. Take from it what you will.

Do you know which one of them lives and which one of them dies?
RHIMES: Yes. And I don't know that you should be saying "which one of them lives and which one of them dies." I know what happens to the characters.

Have you shared this information with Katherine and TR?
RHIMES: [Crickets, then…] I don't want to answer that. I don't want to talk about my private conversations with the actors.

Will Katherine be putting her name back in the Emmy race this season?
RHIMES: You know, I don't know. I think she did beautiful work. I think she always does beautiful work.

Did Meredith and Derek really get married last night?
RHIMES: Their wedding was a Post-it note. We had a big series of discussions about it in the writers' room. I felt very strongly — very very strongly — that the last thing Meredith Grey would do is put on a wedding dress and walk down an aisle. It just felt wrong to me, Meredith being Meredith. And the Post-it wedding will have big reverberations next season.

Will we still get an official wedding at some point?
RHIMES: I think they feel it is an official wedding.

Lead characters are leaving and no deragatory statements?! Weddings on Post-it notes? Sexual escapes with dead characters?

Give it up, Shonda!

If you don't want to know, move on. Otherwise, grab a tissue, cause this one was a doozey!

The minor highlights of last night's Grey's Anatomy season finale included the confession of love between Owen and Cristina, Bailey divorcing her husband, and the symbolic marriage of Derek and Meredith. The latter realized they were never going to find the time to have a real ceremony, so instead opted to write their vows on a Post-it note and sign it off, as if it were a real marriage license. And for them, it is. So Meredith is now Mrs. McDreamy.

And it only took how many seasons?

But now to the juicy stuff…

It has been speculated that two major characters will be departing the series as of this season. T.R Knight, who plays George, felt his character was underused and therefore wished to leave the show to pursue new projects. Katherine Heigl, who plays Izzie, has been rumored to want off the show in order to do more movies.

So what happens?

Read on…

George announced he was enlisting in the U.S. Army as a trauma surgeon and was headed for Iraq. His friends all plan an intervention to stop him from doing so, but unfortunately, they never get the chance. Because George never makes it.

In the biggest twist in Grey's history, it's revealed that George came back to the hospital as an unrecognizably bloodied, injured John Doe who had pushed a woman out of the path of a bus and been struck by it himself.

OMG!!!!!!

For Izzie, the audience finds their beloved blond doc in the middle of a terrible decision: she needs to have her brain tumor removed or she too will die, but if she has the procedure, she could lose her memory. Ultimately, she decides to have the surgery and awakes suffering from short term memory loss. By episodes end, she finally regains full use of her memory and rejoices in the arms of her new husband, Alex.

And then she flat lines!

Told you you would need those tissues!

What will happen next? Is George really dead? Will Izzie follow him into the white light? And can the show survive losing even more major characters?

We'll find out…..next fall.
