T.R. Knight: Anatomy of Breakup
Rosie O'Donnell isn't the only one this morning whose love is on the rocks.
Sources confirm that T.R. Knight and his boyfriend of about two years, Mark Cornelsen, have called it quits.
"It's amicable," one source says of the breakup, which was first reported by In Touch. "It was just a normal breakup. It just ran its course."

T.R. Knight Hits a High Note After Grey's
Congrats, T.R. Knight.
The former Grey's Anatomy star received a well-deserved standing ovation on Sunday night at the opening of Parade, a musical in which he stars as the real-life Leo Frank, a Jewish factory manager who was wrongly accused and convicted of killing a teenage girl in 1913.
Yeah, Parade ain't exactly light stuff.

T.R. Knight Has a Very Good Reason Why He's Not Watching Grey's Anatomy
T.R. Knight hasn't really been keeping up with Grey's Anatomy.
And it has nothing to do with not being on the show anymore or even the not-so-nice ending he had with Grey's creator Shonda Rhimes.
"Right now I'm working on a house so the TV is in a box, so unfortunately I don't know a lot of what's going on right now," Knight told us yesterday at L.A.'s Mark Taper Forum theater, where he's starring in the musical Parade (opening on Sunday, Oct. 4). "I have to catch up."
He did, however, manage to catch the season premiere. What did he think? Keep reading to find out…

Grey's Anatomy: Dr. George Is Dead, Dead, Dead!
Ya heard it here first! Dr. George O'Malley is a goner.
I broke the news back in May that T.R. Knight's character on Grey's Anatomy was being killed off because the actor was leaving the show.
And now, finally, series creator Shonda Rhimes has confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that the young doctor will flatline forever during the season premiere, airing Sept. 24.

T.R. Knight Joins a Parade After Grey's Anatomy
T.R. Knight is going back to his theatrical roots.
Fresh from the official confirmation that the actor will not be returning to Grey's Anatomy, it's been announced that he will star as Leo Frank in an upcoming production of the musical Parade at L.A.'s Mark Taper Forum.
The show, which won two Tonys after debuting on Broadway in 1998, tells the real-life story of Frank, a Jewish Southerner who was lynched in 1915. He was accused of raping and murdering a 13-year-old girl in Georgia. It's widely believed that Frank was wrongly convicted amid growing anti-Semitic tensions in the South.
So when can we see Knight on stage?

What's next for T.R. Knight?
Now that he's hanging up his Grey's Anatomy scrubs, I'm told Mr. Knight is in a New York state of mind.
"He wants to get to New York and do theater," a source said, "but there are no done deals yet."
Back in March, it was reported that he took part in a reading for a Broadway revival of Lend Me Tenor directed by Stanley Tucci and also including Alfred Molina, Tony Shalhoub, Jan Maxwell and Marian Seldes.
As I was the first to report, Knight is saying bye-bye to Grey's Anatomy after he asked to be let go because he was unhappy with his diminished presence on the show.
Knight appeared opposite Patti LuPone in a 2001 revival of Noises Off as well as in the 2003 production of Tartuffe. He last appeared on the New York stage five years ago off-Broadway in the drama Boy.
