Which Meddling ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Doc Have Producers Marked D.N.R.?
6:02AM Kyle Buchanan | Though Grey’s Anatomy has shown an interesting set of priorities this season (less lesbians, more ghost fucking), part of its topsy-turvy plotting may have to do with a star that producers are punishing with reduced screen time. E!’s Kristin Dos Campos has the blind item:
McDreamy McAngry About the ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Gay Firing
6:33AM Kyle Buchanan | Now that ABC has unceremoniously axed Brooke Smith’s lesbian character from Grey’s Anatomy and performed a wholesale gaywashing to turn an upcoming bisexual guest arc into a totally heterosexual, female bonding adventure, other Grey’s stars are speaking out — or, in the case of Patrick Dempsey, using loaded silences to make his thoughts on the matter known.
5:20AM STV | Are You Mick Jagger? SAG Has Your Money: A recent scan by Sharon Waxman of the Screen Actors Guild’s Web site yielded the only slightly staggering discovery that the union is holding more than $25 million in unclaimed funds for almost 67,000 members. The majority is dead (Katherine Hepburn, John F. Kennedy, Buster Keaton), but no small number is still alive and working, including Michael Douglas, Mick Jagger, Patrick Dempsey and even Eric Bogosian — who last week was elected to SAG’s board, making its official “we can’t find these people” excuse all the more baffling. On the bright side, Assaf Cohen is on his way. Changes will be made! [WaxWord] More »
1988 Oscars Number Held In Suspicion Of Multiple Career Killings
6:40AM Seth | A recently unearthed artifact from 1988 offers a mass celebrity humiliation on a scale so staggering, the mind quite simply reels. The setting was that year’s Academy Awards ceremony—and what better way to celebrate the most glamorous evening in entertainment that with a nine-minute-long musical number peopled by Hollywood’s “brightest young stars,” in which they express through singing, dancing, fencing, and moonwalking their, um, desire to become a “super duper pooper scooper” Oscar winner.

The Schlub Factor (And Four Other Reasons ‘Iron Man’ Struck Box Office Gold)
3:00AM Defamer Hollywood | We assumed in last week’s Defamer Attractions column that $75 million opening-weekend estimates seemed awfully conservative for Iron Man, but even our $90 million forecast undershot the film’s $100.7 million three-day take. (It was $104.2 million if you count Thursday night previews, and more than $200 million globally.) Aside from the obligatory splash for any early-summer tentpole, we’re surprised observers didn’t see the finely calibrated alchemy that Marvel and Paramount used to spin its Iron into box office gold: More »
6:11AM Seth | To celebrate the video release of Enchanted, Disney has issued some side-by-sides of the (thousands, they say!) visual nods to other scenes from their animated classics. Pictured, Amy Adams and McDreamy enjoy some pizza pie in a tableau meant to directly hearken back to Lady and the Tramp’s classic alley-side spaghetti preparation, though sharp-eyed Enchanted viewers may have already realised that when Princess Giselle starts scratching behind her ear with her foot.

Paper Mag’s Top Ten Worst Nude Scenes Are Disturbingly Delicious
10:02AM Molly Friedman | Normally the opportunity to see celebs naked on film is worthy of spending whatever it takes to buy the DVD and add it to your dirty collection. Heather Graham in Boogie Nights comes to mind, as does Halle Berry in Monster’s Ball. But when folks like Philip Seymour Hoffman and Kathy Bates are flashing their naughty bits in crystal clear HD, we tend to shut our eyes fast the way we do whenever a particularly gruesome scene from the Saw franchise comes on. Nevertheless, Paper Magazine compiled a totally excellent Top Ten list of the worst nude scenes they’ve ever seen and, while the images aren’t pretty, they’re still perfect for a good cry/laugh for a Friday afternoon. Some NSFW stills from his list we managed to wrangle after the jump, if you dare… More »
NSFW
9:45AM Defamer Hollywood | We can honestly think of no better justification for the internet than its function as a place where admirers of celebrity peen can share their collections with the rest of the world. Enjoy this impressive NSFW gallery of full-frontal (and some rear-al) celebrity male nudity, featuring everyone from McDreamy to McDorff. [ONTD] More »
We Find This Very Hard To Believe
11:03AM Jess McGuire | Like most of you, we read in the papers on Monday that Patrick Dempsey, star of Grey’s Anatomy amongst other things, has a hankering to burn rubber at the Bathurst 1000. We noted this bit of information with an interest bordering on mild, and moved on with our day.
Then, for no real reason whatsoever, this morning we decided to re-read the article
online, and it was then we discovered the following amazing image.
What wonderful work! What lucky timing to be able to locate a photo of Patrick Dempsey indulging in his favourite activity (’vroom vroom’-ing behind the wheel of a V8) just as this Bathurst 1000 story is breaking!
BUT WAIT – WHAT IS THIS? CLOSER INSPECTION OF THE PHOTO REVEALS THAT THE IMAGE HAS BEEN DIGITALLY ALTERED!
This is shocking. Do they mean to suggest that Patrick Dempsey doesn’t include putting on his best tux and speeding around town behind the wheel of a speedy vehicle with his over-sized head sticking awkwardly out the window like a cocker spaniel amongst his favourite leisure activities?
We’re floored, we truly are. News Ltd, your amazing Photoshop skills are deservedly legendary, and we fell for your Dempsey creation hook, line and sinker. More »
