Man seeks rehab for his homophobia

If alcohol rehab could work for Mark Foley then perhaps counseling will work for Isaiah Washington. According to MSNBC news, Washington, the actor better known as Dr. Burke on the hit show Grey's Anatomy has started counseling for the use of homophobic remarks about his co-star T.R. Knight, who plays George.

This news comes shortly after the Golden Globes when Washington told reporters that he had not called Knight a faggot during a heated debate on the set of the show.

Knight later appeared on The Ellen Degeneres show and stated that the slur had in fact been said. Ironically all of this negative press seems to have only drawn more attention to the show.

The ratings for last weeks episode of Grey's Anatomy weighed in with 23 million viewers.

Australian man sells his life in live auction

The bidding for the life of Nicael Holt ended two days ago with the winning bid being offered by the user "ridderstrade." According to British newspaper The Independent, the native of Wollongong, Australia would include in the deal all of his personal possessions, a four-week training course to help the winning bidder learn all his skills, including handstands and "fire-twirling," as well as the broken relationship with his "cranky" ex-girlfriend.

"If any of [the bidders] are real, I'll definitely do it, and do this documentary, because I think it would be really interesting," he said.

The original Nicael Holt intends to take this experience and create documentary as a business venture.

For the new Holt, they will "have access to a cruisy job delivering fruit" and the original Mr. Holt will introduce his friends who will "treat [them] exactly as they have treated me... take me running, surfing, climbing and cook for me."

The deal will not include the passport, academic credentials, legal identity and inheritance rights.

However, Holt did warn "I have two nemeses."
