Eric Dane News (Page 2)

Eric Dane's morning checklist... Aviator shades? Check. Straw hat? Check. Wife-beater? Check. Hawaiian shirt? Check. Warm-up pants? Check!

The Grey's Anatomy actor, 35, may not win any sort of fashion awards for this choice of outfit, but he still manages, somehow, to look kind of cool as he makes a coffee / breakfast run in Los Angeles on Saturday morning.

Dane and the rest of the Grey's Anatomy cast will be appearing at a benefit called "Good Medicine" on February 29 to support crew members hampered by the three-month work stoppage during the writers' strike.

We're pleased to repeat that Eric Dane does not have skin cancer, as was erroneously reported by a celebrity gossip magazine earlier this month.

The "fight against cancer" Eric Dane reportedly went through was not nearly as bad or dramatic as it sounded in OK! Magazine, the actor's rep said.

The OK! Magazine cover story in its February 18 issue sensationalized the fact that the Grey's Anatomy star, 35, was diagnosed with skin cancer and had malignant cells on his lip frozen off with liquid nitrogen in a doctor's office recently.

"Eric Dane does not have cancer," his rep told Us Weekly.

"He spoke with OK! to clear up inaccuracies they were planning to run. His story certainly does not compare to those actually suffering from the disease."

The actor who plays Mark Sloan (a.k.a. McSteamy) on Grey's Anatomy was reportedly mortified by the cover of the celebrity news magazine.

"Never in a million years would he have expected they would exploit his story," says the rep. "He's considering legal action."

Let this be a lesson to us all not to trust OK! Magazine.

In other news, thank goodness the writers' strike is officially over. Can we have some new Grey's Anatomy episodes already, for crying out loud?

One day after we learned about his skin cancer scare, Eric Dane looked healthy as ever, accompanying his actress wife Rebecca Gayheart, backstage at the G-Star Raw Fall 2008 fashion show during Fashion Week in New York City.

Great to see Eric "McSteamy" Dane back and better than ever.

In a surprising and very serious piece of Grey's Anatomy news, Eric Dane was diagnosed with a form of skin cancer just last month.

Fortunately, he has successfully treated the disease and is recovering well. The actor spoke to OK! magazine about his struggle.

The Grey's Anatomy star first detected something was wrong when he looked in the mirror and saw what looked like chapped lips - but wasn't.

"I went to my dermatologist," Eric Dane tells the celebrity news magazine. "He said it was malignant tissue caused by sun damage."

The malignancy was treated by doctors who began freezing the cancerous tissue off with liquid nitrogen. Unfortunately for Dane, his skin had a severe reaction to a cream given to him to put on his lip after the treatment.

"My skin is very sensitive and my lip was traumatized by the procedure I had to go through," he said, noting that his reaction to the medication created a painful scenario that made eating difficult.

"I didn't eat very well for a couple of weeks and lost a bunch of weight," Eric Dane explains, estimating that he dropped at least 10 pounds off his ripped, 6'1" frame while dealing with his skin cancer.

We're very sorry to hear about this but glad Eric is speaking out about it, as it will raise awareness of the seriousness of the disease.

And we're glad we can expect Dr. Mark "McSteamy" Sloan back when Grey's Anatomy resumes production - hopefully very, very soon.

Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane, a.k.a. Dr. Mark Sloan (a.k.a. McSteamy) is featured in the latest issue of Flaunt Magazine. Which some of us didn't know existed, to tell you the truth, but are big fans of now, thanks to their story on Eric Dane!

Flaunt writer Drew Tewksbury writes about his tortured workout alongside the Grey's Anatomy hunk in his piece appropriately called "Getting Big With Eric Dane."

Want to get big with Eric Dane? Come on now, who doesn't!?

"You're doing great, you're gonna feel better than you've ever felt after this," Dane says. We believe him. To read the article, visit Flaunt's website online. To see some more cool photos of Eric Dane, follow the jump right here on our site...

With some unexpected free time on his hands due to the ongoing WGA strike, Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane hits the shops in Los Angeles - perhaps looking for a last-minute gift for wife Rebecca Gayheart? Here's the man behind McSteamy ...

Whatever he's up to, that Eric Dane is one handsome fellow ...

Talented and good-looking as he is, Eric Dane would be a Hollywood gossip favorite if he weren't so content to lay low in real life. More power to him for it!

This is cute and different. Grey's Anatomy co-stars Ellen Pompeo and Eric Dane went on a double date with their spouses, Rebecca Gayheart and Chris Ivery, Monday at the famous Madeos Italian restaurant on Beverly Blvd. in Los Angeles.

Here are a few photos of Ellen and Chris, and Ellen with Rebecca ...

Ellen Pompeo and Rebecca Gayheart (Mrs. Eric Dane) are totally BFFs!

Ellen Pompeo (who married Ivery last month) and Eric Dane certainly have time off from the set due to the ongoing writers' strike. Looks as if Ellen and Rebecca Gayheart are having a good time, too - and in pretty similar outfits to boot!

Grey's Anatomy Hunk Patrol: Eric Dane was recently spotted at LAX airport, and while we know him as McSteamy at Seattle Grace, it's safe to say he puts a little of the gray in Grey's Anatomy. Just kidding. We think it looks rather distinguished.

Here's hoping we see more of Eric Dane's Dr. Mark Sloan in Season Four, so long as the writers' strike is resolved and the year continues unabated.

Hunky Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane sat down yesterday with Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, and despite her prodding him to take his shirt off, managed to have a good conversation with the funny host eventually.

A new clip from Season 4, featuring Eric and Patrick Dempsey, is shown at the beginning as Dane is introduced to Ellen's audience. Check it out:

With six shots of espresso and eight ounces of Red Bull pumping through his bloodstream, Eric Dane slipped behind the steering wheel of his colossal GMC Yukon, adjusted his black Cartier bracelet, planted his foot on the accelerator, and nearly launched into orbit above the Hollywood Hills.

It was a stunning Saturday afternoon - the day of the Live Earth concerts - and as Eric Dane gunned all eight cylinders, his sunglasses reflected the Los Angeles sprawl below, according to Men's Vogue.

"I thought we'd go pick up my dry cleaning," he said.

Three hours later, still no clothes. Dane would rather just drive.

At 34, after 15 years of trying to break into stardom (no college, little formal training), he has hit it big, on the sudsy medical drama Grey's Anatomy.

He had one remaining day off before returning to his role as Dr. Mark Sloan (a.k.a. Dr. McSteamy), the player / plastic surgeon who had an assignation with the wife of his nemesis, Dr. McDreamy.

Eric Dane's most-YouTubed moment to date has him emerging from a scalding shower in the hotel room of Addison (Kate Walsh), with nothing protecting him from 25 million oglers but a towel the size of a napkin.

Coasting down Melrose, he pretended not to notice the shrieks emitting from car after car, as fast ladies rolled down their windows at the sight of him. One could only flail her arms and muster a "wooo!"

"Maybe she wants to get in this lane," Dane suggested.

Prime time television was desperate for an i.v. of testosterone when Eric Dane stepped into the scene.

Once a skinny, awkward kid who played water polo and dated "weird-looking girls," he is now undoubtedly full-grown - but doesn't yet have a career to match.

This guy's guy has had a few other parts â€" Multiple Man in the third X-Men, and the lead in the surprisingly adept aqua-phobic thriller Adrift, which sank when re-branded as Open Water 2 in the U.S.
