JOE JONAS CONFIRMED THAT HIS BROTHER NICK IS BACK WITH MILEY CYRUS:

The NICK JONAS / MILEY CYRUS reunion was basically confirmed the other night on "Larry King Live". --Larry . . . (--Who is apparently as much of a pervert as David Letterman) . . . was trying to get the JONAS BROTHERS to talk about their love lives.--He asked JOE if his girlfriend, CAMILLA BELLE, is more famous than Nick's girlfriend. To which Joe replied, quote, "I don't think anybody is as famous as Miley Cyrus." (--Here's video if this HISTORIC . . . you know, if you're 12 . . . moment . . .)http://www.tmz.com/videos?autoplay=true&mediaKey=4011761f-9919-4d7a-8ee9-523f926fa103(--And here's a clip of Miley and Nick singing "Before The Storm" at the Jonas Brothers show in Arlington, Texas on Saturday night . . .) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZp2Sdsyr2c

RIPIN' IT UP AT THE WHITE HOUSE

If you're one of those people who think that PRESIDENT OBAMA and his family are NOT maintaining the integrity of the White House, these pictures of TONY HAWK skateboarding through one of its hallways probably won't make you happy . . .

(--Tony was at the White House for a Father's Day event. He DID have permission from White House officials to do it. There's no word if President Obama himself had any idea it occurred, though.)

IT'S OFFICIAL: T.R. KNIGHT *IS* LEAVING "GREY'S ANATOMY":

All the AGONIZING speculation is over: T.R. KNIGHT has FINALLY issued a statement announcing that he IS leaving "Grey's Anatomy".

He says, "Leaving 'Grey's Anatomy' was not an easy decision for me to make. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to play this character and will miss my fellow cast and crew very much. -"I continue to wish them the very best, and wholeheartedly thank all of the fans who have supported me and the show with such passion and enthusiasm."

The show's creator, SHONDA RHIMES, also released a statement . . . saying, "I think I speak for the entire 'Grey's Anatomy' family when I say we wish T.R. Knight the best in his future endeavors. -"He is an incredibly talented actor and a person whose strength of character is admired by all of us."

Not surprisingly, Rhimes did not provide any details on what will happen to T.R.'s character, George O'Malley . . . not that it's all that much of a mystery. On the season finale, George was left on the BRINK of death . . . so he probably isn't surviving.

There's also no mention of WHY T.R. wanted to leave . . . (--assuming he DID want to leave) . . . but there's been speculation that he hasn't been happy with his character's storyline and his limited role on the show. (--There's also been talk of a rift between T.R. and the show's producers . . . specifically Shonda Rhimes . . . since October of 2006, during the fallout from that whole ISAIAH WASHINGTON / gay slur situation.)

By the way, it still looks like KATHERINE HEIGL WILL be returning to "Grey's". (--Like George, Katherine's character, Dr. Izzie Stevens, was also teetering on the brink of death at the end of the season finale last month.)

"People" magazine is reporting that a rep from ABC has confirmed that Katherine will be back . . . along with JESSICA CAPSHAW, who plays Dr. Arizona Robbins.

A LITTLE GIRL'S DYING WISH WAS TO WATCH THE MOVIE "UP" . . . SO PIXAR SENT HER A DVD OF THE MOVIE:

In 2005, a 6-year-old girl named Colby Curtin from Huntington Beach, California was diagnosed with vascular cancer, and over the past few years, her condition kept getting worse. But before she died, Colby's final wish was to watch that new Pixar movie "Up". Unfortunately, by the time the movie was released, Colby was too sick to go to the theater.

So a family friend contacted Pixar . . . and on Friday, a Pixar employee delivered a DVD copy of "Up" to Colby's house. Later that night, after watching the movie . . . Colby (--who was 10 years old) passed away.

Colby's mother, Lisa, says, "When I watched it, I had really no idea about the theme of the movie. I just know that word 'Up' and all of the balloons and I swear to you, for me it meant that [Colby] was going to go up. Up to heaven." (--Wow. Way to go, Pixar. Seriously. Very cool move. I'm impressed.)(Good News Now)
