Washington to Lose Out on 'Grey's' Pay Rise?

Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington is at risk of losing out on a pay rise after his homophobic outburst earlier this year. Washington shocked Golden Globe Award attendees in January by calling gay co-star T.R. Knight a "f*gg*t" - and the episode is likely to cost the star a wage boost, according to PageSix.com. A source says, "All the actors are in the midst of contract renegotiations, but is using Isaiah's recent troubles to keep from paying him more. "Isaiah knows it is his fault that he may not get the fat raise he was going to get. ABC doesn't have to give him anything - he is under contract for seven years - and this is going to cost him millions. It's just a bitter pill he is going to have to swallow." A representative for Washington says, "We are going to do our business in private, not in the press." Last week, details of a salary dispute between bosses and Grey's Anatomy star Katherine Heigl were leaked to the press.

Hi.

Totally off topic here, and sorry to jump into your personal journal, but I recently joined wtf_inc. I wanted to make a comment there, but it says that I can't because I'm not friended by wtf_inc. You're listed as a maintainer of the community. Can you fix it so I can post? Again, I apologize for asking this over here in your personal space, but I can't very well post in wtf asking to be allowed to post in wtf without being able to post in wtf in the first place, which would negate the need for me to post in wtf altogether, wouldn't it? (the preceding is a Mobius sentence)

Thanks in advance for you assistance,

Weirddave

Don't worry, that's what I'm here for.

I've looked into your problem at it looks like you haven't joined wtf_inc at all. You're neither listed as member nor do you have the community on your friends list. That way it can't work of course. What you need to do is go back to the community profil page and click the link at the top of the page that says "To join this community, click here". Then you go through different screens where you add the community to your friends list as well and to existing filters and then you confirm it once more. This community has no membership restrictions so that should join you right away.

Anyway, I've manually added you as a member now. You're probably going to be send an invitation. Just follow the instructions in that mail and you're a member! ^^
