Jessica Simpson has been sent to boot camp. The 'Dukes of Hazzard' star will undergo a grueling physical training program in preparation for her role as an out-of-work actress who joins the army in 'Major Movie Star.'

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "She left for Shreveport, Louisiana, on Wednesday. She's going to be in boot camp for two days to learn how to do army drills and salute properly and that sort of thing."

Jessica Simpson was allowed to keep the personal trainer she shared with on/off boyfriend John Mayer after they split. The 'Dukes of Hazzard' star was introduced to trainer Harley Pasternak by the country singer just over two months ago, and while she is no longer seeing Mayer, Jessica is still working out with Pasternak.

The singer-and-actress is said to have dropped at least two dress sizes and lost almost 20lbs in eight weeks.

Isaiah Washington is not taking his departure from "Grey's Anatomy" like a man.

In fact, the actor is telling anyone who will listen that he has been treated unfairly and didn't deserve to be laid off from the top rated show, despite creating a large amount of controversy in late 2006 and early 2007.

Newly unemployed Isaiah Washington is wondering how he could have kept his job.

The former "Grey's Anatomy" star will not be returning for the third season of the smash hit show. Real life drama began behind the scenes of the medical drama after an on-set argument between Isaiah and T.R. Knight that resulted in a sexual slur.

Katherine Heigl has been one of the most vocal cast members of "Grey's Anatomy", especially since the on-set tension hit fever pitch with the Isaiah Washington/T.R. Knight controversy.

However, now the outspoken star says that the incident which saw T.R. come out of the closet is a good thing since it has been discussed in mainstream media.
