PS. Kristen Bell is not cranky. Also not Maggie Gyllenhaal.

"Why She's So Cranky" clue
On the cover of Details this month – a rather candid interview in which he discusses his re-ascent and his future.
As you know, I’m not a huge fan. Not that I particularly dislike him (those sentiments are reserved for the stone-faced wife), I just don’t particularly care. There’s no swooning, there’s no shit-losing, and there’s definitely no panty ripping …unlike my eTalk producer Jennifer who has plastered his face all over her desk.
But I digress.
The point is, when it comes to Patrick Dempsey – take it or leave it – I’m rather indifferent.
Having said that, there is one quality I appreciate very much. And no, not the hair. Patrick you see has a bit of Angelina in him. He COULD give a canned interview but oftentimes he doesn’t. Instead, he seems to prefer to answer honestly, without much of a censor, and like Jolie before him, the results are at once insightful, intriguing, perhaps controversial, and possibly detrimental.
Or not.
Key quotes from the article suggest a very positive attitude and quite a robust ego, especially for someone whose rise from the dead is barely 12 months old. Note the highlighted section:
“Things are going well, but I’m not satisfied. I don’t think the character is going to change that much. Shonda Rhimes has created a great show. And I’m contributing to that and have benefited from that profoundly. And she’s benefited by being smart enough to cast me when no one else did. It’s been a great opportunity, but it’s not the end-all, be-all of where I want to go.”
Don’t begrudge him about seeing beyond Grey’s Anatomy, but Shonda “being smart enough” to give him a job? Coulda been phrased differently, don’t you think? Suggestion:
“Shonda created a great show, I am grateful that she saw something in me and made me part of it when I had limited opportunities. I would like to believe that I’ve honoured her confidence by making a great impact.”
Bit more humble, non?
Then again, humility wasn’t entirely absent. Patrick goes on to say:
“It has given me so much confidence. I went through five years where I didn’t get anything from auditions. You start to think, Well, I’m not attractive, I’m not a good actor. But I never gave up. I just accepted this is who I am. I’m not George Clooney, I’m not Brad Pitt, but I’m uniquely who I am.”
And in spite of the chubby ego comments above, THAT is what I admire. Patrick KNOWS he ain’t George, it sounds like he KNOWS he’s found his level, is comfortable inside that box, and will not reach beyond his station.
Quite a refreshing change from the delusional tv girls and boys constantly pining for Oscar gold.
Pray Goddess Dr McDreamy does not become Rachel Green.

This is going back a while, and maybe I should be a little ashamed that I am thinking about blind items from 2 months ago when I'm supposed to be hard at work (pah!), but still wondering about 'A new low'! Help! If I remember correctly, JLH has been known to have a thing for married men. Could it be her? Would someone ever be the subject of two different blind items? Please throw me a bone over here! My friends and I won't sleep a wink until we figure this one out.
Dear Katie:
A worthy guess. But not JLH. Although I, like everyone else in the gossiping universe, am surprised to all f*cking hell about her success on that ghost talking show, the subject of A New Low is beyond tv. And, to my knowledge, has never had to dawdle below celluloid.

"Why She's So Cranky" guess
"Trailer Visits" revealed
Mike Myers will host the MTV Movie Awards as part of the promotional lead-up to the release of The Love Guru. No doubt, his spoof clips will be hilarious. For the viewer that is. The real question though – will they be hilarious for the people working on them? Or will they have to overcome the monumental difficulty of producing the features without actually looking at or talking to their star?
What???
But Mike is Canadian! Canadians are NEVER douchebags… right? Please. Ask anyone who worked with Avril Lavigne at the Junos this weekend and you’ll know that couldn’t be further from the truth.
Still… on the outside, Mike is as charming as they come:
"Hosting the MTV Movie Awards is like a party, but without having to do beer runs in your mom's mini van. We do beer runs in Will Smith's four-story motor home."
Interesting he chose Will Smith to write a joke about. In a motor home. Just sayin’…
