Does Shonda Know? Columbus Short Hosts ‘Scandal’ Premiere Party + Readies New Single ‘Gladiator’ [Photo]

He may not be on the show anymore, but that isn’t stopping Columbus Short from capitalizing off of the premiere of Shonda Rhimes’ hit ABC drama Scandal.

The troubled actor posted the above flyer to Instagram along with the caption:

‘GLADIATORS #standup #ItsGoingDown #Gladiator available tomorrow on #ITUNES and the long awaited premiere of #Scandal @kriskelli @bigblockesc #CoStarz’

We wonder how Shonda Rhimes would feel about all this — you know, since she fired him and killed off his character.

We’re also curious as to what this “Gladiator” single will sound like. Check back later on Thursday and we’ll have it posted for your listening pleasure!
