Brooke Smith's role, Dr. Hahn, on
Grey's Anatomy is coming to a end this Thursday.
Grey's series creator and executive producer, Shonda Rhimes said,
"Brooke Smith was obviously not fired for playing a lesbian. Clearly it's not an issue, as we have a lesbian character on the show -- Calliope Torres."
She's not even going to have a proper write-out...sounds like the there was more going on behind the scenes than they've lead-on or announced.
Sorry Brooke!

A quick sneak peak at Walking Tall.
Drinking nothing at room temperature is part of being an American, and USB Geek makes it easy with the Peit Hein Drink Cooler and USB Mug Warmer. The drink cooler is a stainless steel ball with a "super-secret liquid core", and you put this shiny orb in the freezer for an hour and then it can chill down that cocktail really quickly. It's supposed to be able to keep that drink frosty for a lot longer than ordinary ice without watering down your drink. It's $29.99.
The USB mug warmer is a variation on similar items we've seen before, but now you can keep that bottomless cup o' Java toasty warm and use its two-port hub for two other weird USB attachments. It's $13.99.
We're thinking this drink cooler might be good for quickly cooling off some of our favorite American beers, killing off whatever weak taste remains without watering them down any further. We likes our beers watered down, and we're not restricting that preference to American beers, either—maybe that's why we like Sapporo Beer, too. Mmm, mm, that's some good drinkin'. – Charlie White

Of all the crazy thing's Thanko's come up with, this USB charger bracelet's probably the least crazy. Instead of having a separate charger that you have to keep close to a PSP, DS Lite or a cellphone by putting both onto a table, this wrist charger lets you wear the power on your person and play/talk like you normally would. It charges from USB in approximately 4 hours and gives 22.5-28.5 hours on the DS Lite (lowest brightness) and 3.5-4.5 hours on the PSP
