McDeprecating McDreamy

Patrick Dempsey needs to accept the fact that people think he’s hot and get over it already. He wasn’t nicknamed McDreamy on Grey’s Anatomy because he spends his time daydreaming: he’s hot (though not as hot as McSteamy)! However, even after being cast as a Prince Charming type in Enchanted, Dempsey still doesn’t seem to understand his sex symbol status. "I always find it funny when people say I am handsome or I am perceived in that way. It makes me wonder whom they are talking to, it's interesting,” Dempsey was quoted by BreakingNews.ie as saying. "There are a lot of men out there considered as handsome men: George Clooney is good looking; he is the classical handsome movie star. I am just average looking. But it's fun and it is certainly nice to have the attention. I was known for being geeky and awkward as a kid. This projection of being sexy or handsome is funny to me; I certainly don't see myself that way." But there’s a diff between Demps and Clooney: five years and the fact that, unlike Dempsey, Clooney’s more salt than pepper these days.

A painful fairy-toenail

Call me old fashioned, but I don’t think princesses should be talking about toenails. It just doesn’t jive with my idea of happily ever after. However, Amy Adams, who plays Princess Giselle in Disney’s Enchanted (which, incidentally, topped box offices on both sides of the border on its opening weekend), must have missed that memo. Adams recently described how her onscreen Prince McCharming (Patrick Dempsey) accidentally tore off some of her toenails when the two took to the dance floor for a scene in the film. But, being a lady, Adams bared the brunt of the blame. "Patrick did take off two of my toenails but it was my fault because I was a trained dancer and so I thought I knew what I was doing,” the actress was quoted by the World Entertainment News Network as saying. “I was not a good partner and I had a hard time surrendering to Patrick's lead. He moved and I didn't, and I refused to let him lead, so I just stood my ground and he just tore them off. So I ended up with the loss of some toenails and sore feet but that was the extent of my injuries."
