Eric Dane News (Page 3)

Some guys have all the luck! Or depending on how you look at it, some women! In the photo below, Eric Dane is having a ball Wednesday with French TV presenter Rachel Bourlier and actress Nathalie Vincent.

Dane was in Europe during a photo call promoting Grey's Anatomy at the 2007 Monte Carlo Television Festival in Monaco.

Not to worry, though. While Dane, who plays the uber-sexy Mark Sloan, sure can act the part of a player, he's a one-woman man in real life. That lucky lady is wife and actress Rebecca Gayheart.

Grey's Anatomy star Eric Dane and his wife, Rebecca Gayheart, welcomed his fellow cast members and other celebrities to the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball over the weekend.

An L.A.-based non-profit organization, Chrysalis is dedicated to helping economically disadvantaged and homeless individuals become self-sufficient through employment opportunities.

In attendance was the former Grey's Anatomy and current Private Practice star, Kate Walsh, and her new fiance, Alex Young.

Rounding out the Grey's Anatomy-related attendees were the handsome Justin Chambers and his wife Keisha, Patrick Dempsey and wife Jillian, Ellen Pompeo, Sara Ramirez and T.R. Knight.

Gayheart has been organizing the event for months. As a result, she and Dane are going on a month-long, around-the-world vacation before he returns to the set of Grey's Anatomy to begin filming Season 4.

If star gazing is your thing, then the Indianapolis 500 is for you, even if you aren't a big auto racing enthusiast like Patrick Dempsey.

After all, the 500-mile race, set for Sunday, will feature none other than Grey's Anatomy's Dempsey as the pace car driver.

What's more, his co-star and on-screen love, Ellen Pompeo, will be flying in for the big race, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Last week's Greys Anatomy season finale left viewers wondering about Derek and Meredith, but their off-screen friendship must be a little more solid.

Pompeo is engaged to music producer Christopher Ivery, while Patrick is married to wife Jillian, with whom he has three young children.

Another Grey's Anatomy star, Eric Dane, will be among the celebrities walking the red carpet Sunday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Officials at the Speedway released the names of more celebs expected to be in town for the 500-Mile Race - and attending a prerace red carpet walk in Pagoda Plaza.

He'll be joining some other familiar faces, including Ashley Judd, wife of driver Dario Franchitti; Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, Dempsey, Pompeo, Dennis Farina, Ray Liotta, Survivor legend Rupert Boneham, Gene Simmons of Kiss and legendary TV mom Florence Henderson.

SEX, LIES AND STETHOSCOPES

Setting pulses racing as the steamy Dr. Mark Sloan since he arrived at Seattle Grace in Season Two, actor Eric Dane reveals to Grey's Anatomy Magazine about his time so far on the hit show, Addison, Meredith, and why Mark is just misunderstood...

Grey's Anatomy Magazine: How did your Grey's Anatomy role come around? Was it a standard audition or was the part written for you?

Eric Dane: No. It was just an audition. I had read for [Shonda Rhimes] before when they were casting the pilot. I read for this character and obviously, I ended up getting the role, but I don't think they had any intentions of making Dr. Sloan a regular at Seattle Grace.

Grey's Anatomy Magazine: Your first appearance in the episode "Yesterday" made quite an impression on audiences. Did you expect the ‘water cooler' aspect of what your character and performance would bring to the show?

Eric Dane: I didn't. I didn't even watch it and still haven't experienced my shockwave, because it's surreal to me. The week after that episode aired, the people from (Grey's Anatomy) called me and offered me a job, and I jumped at the opportunity.

Grey's Anatomy Magazine: In "Don't Stand So Close To Me," Izzie has a great moment standing up to Mark's demeaning request for coffee, which ends up showing a more likeable side to Sloan. Was that a big moment for your character?

He may play Dr. McSteamy on Grey's Anatomy, but in real life, Eric Dane is proving he is still Mr. McSteamy for his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart.

According to TMZ.Com, Eric Dane and his wife of more than two years hit the trendy L.A. spa Ruth's Skin Care Salon for a couples' facial.

As Gayheart, 34, was getting a collagen facial, Dane (always a romantic) snuck into the room and pretended to be one of the employees so he could be the one giving her a foot massage.

Imagine Rebecca's surprise when she opened her eyes and saw her husband massaging her feet.

The couple, who eloped in October 2004 on the very night they got engaged, seems to know how to keep love exciting.

It's good to see that for all his arrogance as Mark Sloan, Dane, 35, is one of many Grey's Anatomy stars in healthy, lasting relationships off the set.

One can't help but wonder: was Dane wearing only a white towel during this special date? It certainly seems appropriate.

A number of Grey's Anatomy stars attended last night's premiere of the film Dreamgirls, starring Beyonce Knowles and former American Idol finalist Jennifer Hudson. See below:

Katherine Heigl was present, in all her beautiful glory, along with co-stars James Pickens, Jr., and Eric Dane. Her fiance, Josh Kelley, also accompanied her. We are told that Isaiah Washington was also on hand, though we are unable to find photos of him at the event at this time. If we come across any, they'll be added. Not to worry, I.W. fans. We're on it.

Eric Dane, who plays Dr. Mark Sloan, a.k.a. McSteamy, is the hottest new addition to the cast of ABC's award-winning drama Grey's Anatomy.

Trading in the scalpel for the keyboard, Dane plays a speechwriter about to marry the conservative governor's daughter in tonight's A&E movie Wedding Wars. The movie co-stars John Stamos, who plays his gay brother.

Below, Dane shares his thoughts on his career, cooking and other matters with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette:

PPG: You have a brother. If your brother were gay, how would you react?

ERIC DANE: I don't think I'd have any kind of reaction of any significance. You know, he's my brother no matter what. Certainly not (like) the character in the movie. However, I feel like the character in the movie's reaction was a little bit undecided. You know? I don't think at the core of him, he really had any bias toward his brother's sexual orientation.

PPG: In another interview, your wife (actress Rebecca Gayheart) said you are "sick of the McSteamy thing."

ERIC DANE: No, she didn't. There's no way she ever said that. I'm gonna put her on the phone with you right now.

PPG: Are you at all concerned about the "McSteamy" moniker sticking?

ERIC DANE: Ahhhhh, no. Thus far it never brought any sort of negative anything along with it. You know, we could go through and we could find a hundred parallels in other careers where they've transcended nicknames they've had in certain roles. Right now this is where I'm at, and I've been called a lot worse than "McSteamy." Trust me.

By special request, here are some Eric Dane pictures sent to us from a recent photo shoot of the newest Grey's Anatomy star. Apologies for the low resolution, but his McSteaminess should still be apparent. At least a little.
