TV Guide has spoken to Isaiah Washington’s rep and it looks as though Preston Burke may be back next season. His rep told the AP “We fully expect to be back. The deal’s not done, but we have no reason to believe he won’t be putting on the scrubs.”

We have a long summer to wait and find out.

Grey’s Anatomy Creator/Exec Producer/Writer etc. has posted a blog about last week’s episode “The Other Side Of This Life.” If you’ve never read a Shonda blog, I highly recommend it. Check it out.

Isaiah Washington will will appear in a public service announcement on behalf of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network. The PSAs will be shot in the next few weeks. When asked if Isaiah would be back on Grey’s Anatomy next season, Washington’s rep is quoted as saying, “We’ve heard nothing to the contrary, and we have no plans to the contrary.” Hmmmm…..

According to E! and Grey’s sources, we didn’t see the dude’s privates last week after all. When I watched the episode, I rewound it and at first thought the actor leaned over and what we got was a quick shot of that and it turns out that is true. The whole story’s over here.

Here’s the official scoop on the “special” (read: spinoff pilot) episode of “Private Practice.” This is from ABC:

Rumors swirled last week that TR Knight and Isaiah Washington were both leaving after this season of Grey’s Anatomy. The TR story started after he commented that he was very ready for the show to wrap because he was anxious for a vacation. When asked about his relationship with Washington, TR replied, I show up and do my work everyday, that’s enough for me. TR’s reps assured Kristin at E! that he wouldn’t be leaving the show, while Isaiah’s rep said they do their business in private, not public. Hmmm…. I’m wondering about Washington now…

Callie O’Malley just landed a record deal. Sara Ramirez was a Broadway star before joining Grey’s Anatomy. She won a Tony for her role in Spamalot. Sara plans to spend her summer in the studio recording a record penned by the writers of Spamalot. TV Guide has the story:

We’ve already seen her rock out in her underwear on Grey’s Anatomy. Now Tony-winning actress Sara Ramirez, who plays George’s (T.R. Knight) feisty wife, Callie, has signed a deal to record her own album. “All I can say is that Eric Idle and John Du Prez, who were the writers of Spamalot, are writing the album,�? Ramirez told TV Guide at the Step Up Inspiration Awards where she was honored for mentoring young girls.

Although her lips are sealed about the disc’s sound, Ramirez — who has already inked a contract with Universal Music Group — did reveal that she’d spend her summer break from Grey’s in the studio recording the album.

But the Mexico native did let a few details slip about the love triangle brewing between George, Callie and Izzie. “Callie is just showing up doing her job, oblivious to everything,�? says Ramirez. So will she call it quits after discovering George slept with ex-model Izzie? “I think she knows her relationship with George is in sort of a delicate place,�? she hints. “But she’s a strong lady. She knows what she wants so I’m sure she’ll go to any lengths to get it!�?

Hopefully, this means we’ll see more of Callie next season — but Ramirez isn’t talking just yet. “Am I back next season?�? she asks with a laugh. “Maybe. This character’s just been so much fun to play. Acting with this group of people has been a master class in episodic television. For now, I’m just enjoying the ride.�? —Reporting by Dana Meltzer Zepeda

FINALLY - it seems like it has been FOREVER, doesn’t it? Anyway, in other news, TV Guide is reporting that Isaiah Washington has decided not to submit his work for Emmy consideration this year. Everyone else in the cast has, though. I’d hate to have to decide between some of the fantastic performances all of them have turned in this year, wouldn’t you?

Isaiah Washington is set to play a priest returning to the Catholic high school where he was once sexually abused in the indie drama The Least of These, his first film role since his gay slur directed at Grey’s Anatomy cast mate T.R. Knight landed him in the headlines. The film’s writer-director, Nathan Scoggins, tells the Hollywood Reporter he approached Washington after reading about how he was being professionally snubbed in the wake of the brouhaha, and sees this opporunity as “part of [Isaiah] moving forward and making restitution” for his actions.

Tonight we get the clip show hosted by Jeffrey Dean Morgan. We’ll also see the newest Grey’s Anatomy music video. The new song is “The Story” by Brandi Carlile. If she follows the precedent of Snow Patrol and The Fray, Brandi is about to have a smash hit on her hands. We’ll finally be back to new episodes next week! I’ll have some dish on what’s in store for you tomorrow.

This week in Parade Magazine, a reader asked if Grey’s Anatomy purposefully named Eric Dane’s character Dr. Mark Sloan after Dick Van Dyke’s Dr. Mark Sloan on Diagnosis Murder. HA! I laughed out loud. Of course, producer/writer Krista Vernoff said it was just a coincidence, but that’s just too cute. McSteamy named for Dick Van Dyke. Love it.
