They're announcing today at the TV Critics meeting that they've signed the homophobic slurrer who got the boot from Grey's Anatomy over at ABC last month, to a development deal to star in a potential action drama he pitched to the network for the 2008-09 TV season.
He'll also be a guest star on the bad-buzzing Bionic Woman.

In the past week or so, Isaiah's definitely been building credit for a ticket on the perceived-as-crazy train, blaming racism for the discomfort his booming words caused on the show, blaming TR for the campaign that ultimately got him fired from the show, and now, in a prime time interview with Larry King-- blaming costar Patrick McDreamy Dempsey for the fight that started-- and ended-- it all.
Isaiah told Larry that he and Patrick never got along and that Patrick was constantly showing up late on the set. The fight though, was sparked when Patrick insisted on waiting for his costar Ellen Pompeo, before they began shooting for the day.
"I said I don't need Ellen, I can act", Isaiah said. "And that was the moment that sent it into a different zone".
Isaiah said Patrick started it! "He became unhinged, sprayed spittle in my face. I'm asking him why is he screaming at me... he just becomes irate".
Isaiah said he responded with "several bad words." The exact phrase: "There's no way you're going to treat me like the B-word, the P-word or the F-word!"
Although he said the actually words, not a letter followed by the word "word." (And what's the "P-word"? Putz?) And as for that "F-word"-- faggot-- Isaiah said that was taken out of context; that he meant it not as an anti-gay slur but meant to describe "somebody who is weak."
Well, in that case, that's a faggot excuse!
Declared Isaiah: "I am not homophobic-- in no way, shape or form."
Right. Next he'll be admitting he's on the down-low. But here's the real question that rises from all this:

ABC Studios confirmed today that four-time Tony winner Audra McDonald has been hired to replace Merrin Dungey as star Kate Walsh's best friend in the spinoff Private Practice-- even though Merrin was introduced to 21.2 million viewers in the very special Grey's episode that launched Practice.
Back in May, Merrin played Dr. Naomi Bennett, the new character who is influential enough to talk Kate's Dr. Addison Montgomery into moving to California to join a health cooperative where she works with her ex-husband, played by Taye Diggs, and colleagues Tim Daly, Amy Brenneman and Paul Adelstein.

Isaiah got the boot earlier this month after much controversy over an onset explosion in which he went for co-star Patrick Dempsey's throat and referred to his other co-star TR Knight as a "faggot."
"They fired the wrong guy!" he exploded today, blaming TR for the fine mess.
"I fell all this was about him getting a raise, and getting his character to stop being perceived as a dopy, kooky kind of character. He perceives himself as a leading man. that's why you can see the change this past season. That was his whole, his whole impetus behind this. And I was used. And I was exploited.
"I have to clear my name. I'll start from the beginning. I'm telling everything.
"So here's the truth."
Hear Isaiah's version of the truth in his own voice... and get a load of his final quote... after the jump...

For now, Isaiah: is "saddened," but has "tons of offers in both film and TV"; might move to another network; doesn't blame Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes; doesn't know if he's friends with TR Knight (the former co-star he targeted with anti-gay slurs in his career-altering onset fracas); would return for a Grey's cameo if he was asked-- but doesn't expect to be.
Oh, yeah: He speaks of himself in the third person a couple of times, and blames the media.
