Dane Cook sure has a funny version of reality. It seems like most celebs think the world operates in a way that is uniquely focused on them. To be fair, we all do this a bit, but celebrities often have this notion reinforced. Cook is no exception. He was evicted from his apartment by a judge because he failed to clean up after his constantly pooping dog. The other tenants didn’t appreciate it, so they took action. And not surprisingly, the court sided with Cook.
However the comedian is fighting back – and using humor as his defense. Probably because that’s the only one he’s got. He claims humorous spirits haunt his apartment - not in the literal way, but in the inspiring way. And he’ll lose his joke mojo if he moves.
After a judge ruled to evict Cook from his Hollywood apartment last month because nobody picked up after the comic’s crap-happy dog, Dane has decided to fight the decision with one of the most bizarre legal arguments we’ve ever heard –- that Belushi and Martin’s supernatural leftovers have a serious affect on his career.
Cook claims he only rented the apartment in the first place because his heroes, Belushi and Martin, used to live in the same complex back in the day, and according to the court docs filed in L.A. County Superior Court, he would suffer serious “mental and emotional” damage — and his career would crumble — if he was forced to leave. In the docs, Cook claims, “I know that the presence of those that have lived there before me affects me deeply and provides me with inspiration.”
Cook went on to say, “In the same way that writers can get writer’s block, comedians can really easily run out of ideas and ’stories’; I am extremely frightened that this will happen to me if I am forced to move out of my apartment. I’ve seen it happen to other comics, that something interferes with their connection to their creative muse, and it’s destroyed careers.”
In the three pages of desperate begging and pleading for the judge to hear his appeal, Cook also adds that he will cut a $40,000 check to the owner of the apartment ASAP to cover all of the suffering that his dookie-droppin’ doggie has caused, if he is allowed to stay.
No word if Cook channeled Belushi to pen this appeal -– but it did smell suspiciously like a bottle of Jack Daniels.

I appreciate artistic temperaments and creative are fickle forces, and everyone has their own way of finding inspiration. But I swear to God this better be a joke, and just some lame last-ditch effort to stay in his pad. Honestly, I don’t think it is. Either Cook really believes this stuff or is pretending to believe it. Considering all the bullshit the judge didn’t buy from him before, I can’t imagine he’d go for anything now.
On the other hand, I can’t figure out why it’s so important he stay in this particular apartment, and why Cook would fight so hard instead of just move. I’m not going to say he’s a comedic genius or anything close to it, but maybe he does believe there’s something about that place. Maybe he just associates it with a productive time in his life and that subconsciously helps him out. Either way, I think a U-Haul is in order.

Kate Hudson sure does look dazzling! We're a sucker for her golden smile.
Goldie Hawn's daughter sparkled at the premiere of her new movie, Mr Best Friend's Girl, in Hollywood last night... and while the rom-com looks like every other rom-com out there, I'm sure Kate is fab in it as always!
Oh, Dane Cook and Jason Biggs co-star. They're cool, too, I guess?
Check out the gallery of the red carpet below!
Kate Hudson really needs to start making better movies - and with better, more talented people!
Enjoying an evening out on the town sans hubby, Rebecca Gayheart was in attendance at a big Hollywood party for the new BlackBerry 8330 Curve on Wednesday night (August 27).
Popping into Intermix for the evening, Rebecca looked gorgeous in a grey deep v-neckline dress teamed with a pair of pink heels.

The personal lives of the stars of Grey’s Anatomy may be more interesting than last season’s plot lines, at least according to this week’s Star..
McSteamy may be McSeparated
Eric Dane, aka Dr. McSteamy, is having marriage problems with wife Rebecca Gayheart. Star reports Eric has moved out of the couple’s West Hollywood home to stay at Hollywood’s famous Chateau Marmont. The reason is a common one in Hollywood: Jealousy.
“Eric and Rebecca used to love spending time together and were barely apart,” says one insider. “But as Eric’s gotten more famous, Rebecca’s behavior has gotten more erratic. One second, she’s jealous of his success; the next, she’s angry and won’t speak to him. Eric never knew what to expect.”
[From Star, print edition, September 1, 2008]
The two wed in 2004.
Star adds that they’ve also been trying to start a family, adding more pressure to an already stressed relationship.
Besides Grey’s Anatomy, Eric will also star with Jennifer Aniston and Owen Wilson in Marley & Me. Rebecca’s last TV series Vanished was cancelled after only nine episodes had aired.
Rebecca’s rep told Star that the report saying Eric has moved out is untrue. The rep says both Rebecca and Eric were staying at the Chateau Marmont while work was being done on their home.

Grey’s Gets Green
Eric’s Grey’s co-star Sandra Oh is a vegetarian and is introducing her show’s cast and crew to healthy vegan food. Star reports that on August 1, Sandra spent over $650 for lunch for everyone on set from her favorite Hollywood restaurant, Truly Vegan.
“They couldn’t believe how amazing the food tasted,” a crew member tells Star. “Patrick Dempsey enjoyed the chocolate vegan cake, and Ellen Pompeo has gone to Truly Vegan half a dozen times since trying the food.”
[From Star, print edition, September 1, 2008]
Sharing food like Sandra did is a great way to show people that vegetarian food is more than carrots and lettuce and tastes better than cardboard. Many vegetarians have reputations for lecturing or shaming people about eating meat, but Sandra’s way is more effective. Many people are surprised at how little meat they have to eat to get filling, delicious and healthy meals.

Litter Doesn’t Bug Izzie
On the other end of the both the healthy and earth-friendly spectrums is Katherine Heigl. Katherine’s chain-smoking is well documented, and apparently she’s too young to remember “Give a Hoot, Don’t Pollute.”
According to Star, Katherine had lunch with her mother at P.F. Chang’s in Santa Monica on August 11. After lunch, she tossed her cigarette on the ground right in front of a policeman, then had to sweet-talk her way out of a ticket.
“The officer told Katherine to pick up the butt and throw it away in the trash, 10 feet away,” the source says. “He added that he’d fine her next time he catches her tossing trash on the sidewalk.”

Sandra Oh should send Eric Dane a vegan chocolate cake to cheer him up, and another in thanks to the policeman who busted litterbug Katherine Heigl.
The fifth season of Grey’s Anatomy will premiere September 25 on ABC.

Most celebrities go to high-priced breeders to spend thousands of dollars on top pedigree dogs. But Eric Dane and his wife Rebecca Gayheart aren’t most celebrities.
The “Grey’s Anatomy” stud and his “Urban Legend” wife were spotted adopting an injured puppy during a shopping outing in Los Angeles yesterday (August 17).
Fred Segal is the really one of the best places to be in Beverly Hills. What’s better than having a fantastic meal for lunch and then burning off the calories by shopping like crazy and trying on some of the best jeans in the state of California? And for us, it’s awesome because we get to see some of the best celebs doing both. Case and point: Eric Dane and Rebecca Gayheart. The couple came out of Fred Segal yesterday after some browsing and eating. Only the best at Fred.

Here's Dr. McSteamy and his physique magnifique leaving yet another workout at the gym.
Now that he's done filming episodes of Grey's and his movie Marley & Me with Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston, Eric must have wanted a clean look. Not only is his hair buzzed, it looks as though he shaved off all of his facial hair too.
Don't worry, there is still some sexy scruff lingering or growing in. Not sure which.
Still drool-worthy nonetheless!
According to an eyewitness to one of his previous workouts, Eric gets those enviable pecs by doing tons of chest exercises, including gymnastic rings routines.
Somehow the idea of this guy flipping around doesn't sound like it would work -- but whatever he is doing sure works, that I do know!

Is it hot in here, or is the bromance going on between Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane getting out of control? These guys are bordering on being too "comfortable" with their heterosexuality and it's kind of getting awkward to be in the room with them at the same time.
Patrick recently admitted that he was jealous of Eric's perky pecs and now Dane has admitted that he and Patrick like to joke about the hotness of Eric's body. McSteamy said of his buddy McDreamy, "He likes to ask me when my calendar's coming out." These do need to just go ahead and do it to clear the air of the hot, steamy sexual tension.
Meanwhile, Dane admits that he's not opposed to all the attention he receives for his physical prowess, he says, "because if I didn't want anybody to look at me physically, I wouldn't go to the gym." However, he wants the world to know that he's got more to offer and says that if the audience would "look just a little bit north of my chest and they actually see I can act, that's a plus." He does have a point. That neck of his is quite expressive.

Nope! It's Grey's Anatomy actor Eric Dane, the one who's married to that smoker.
Back in LA (at Fred Segal) after shooting a movie with Owen Wilson and Jennifer Aniston in Miami, we kinda think Dane resembles the handsome Brit... or maybe not?
Oh, and did he have skin cancer or not? Weirdness!

Wonder if she's trying to send a message to her husband, Eric Dane, who's currently shooting a movie with Jennifer Aniston in Miami?
But Rebecca must have no qualms about her McSteamy shooting with Aniston, she just laughed when the pap asked her if she was worried about her husband being unfaithful while on set!
Like that was the last thing she would ever worry about!

A few weeks ago, OK! Magazine reported that Eric Dane, aka "McSteamy" had suffered a recent bout with skin cancer on his lip. The magazine quoted him as saying that a procedure to freeze off some malignant cells, "traumatized" the actors smacker and that it caused him to lose a bunch of weight.
Now his spokesperson is insisting that Eric is just fine and that OK Magazine blew the story out of proportion. He says, "Eric Dane does not have cancer. He spoke with OK! to clear up some inaccuracies they were planning to run. His story certainly does not compare with those actually suffering from the disease."
Seems those inaccuracies weren't cleared up by the magazine and a source claims Eric was "mortified," and considering legal action against the publication.
Good thing Eric is just fine -- now that the strike is over that pout will be back on the air as Dr. Sloan in just a few weeks!

More photos of Eric Dane picking up some Starbucks after the jump.

I know that I'm seriously dating myself, but Eric Dane seems to be channeling Errol Flynn in these pictures, with his facial hair, jacket and turtleneck sweater. And after reading about his interview with OK! magazine, in which Eric reveals his battle with skin cancer on his lip, I'm wondering if the mustache isn't there strategically.
The "Grey's Anatomy" star has revealed that he took a visit to the dermatologist after finding something on his lip. He found out it was "malignant tissue caused by sun damage." Yikes. Reportedly, his treatment caused his lips to react in such a way as to make eating very difficult and he lost about ten pounds from not being able to eat properly for weeks. That sounds like a horrible, but extremely effective diet.

I'm going to try and refrain from any outright drooling over this one's pictures from Flaunt magazine. Flaunt - I'll say! We want to make this a safe place for people of all sexual preferences to read and laugh and be entertained. We want everyone to feel like a treasured guest at our cocktail party and not be subjected to one blogger's twisted sexual fantasies involving Eric Dane and a speculum. So, I'm not going to mention anything about him and all his.....McSteam. Yep. Well, that's certainly a nice Hanes Beefy T he's wearing. Yep. Wow. He must work out. Right. *whimper* This is hard.
p.s. He's married to a reckless driver! There, that had nothing to do with his hot body!

I'll refrain from channeling my inner teenage girl and discussing Eric Dane. It's going to be hard. And I'm not going to focus on Rebecca Gayheart having offed a kid so you don't see her much anymore. She's probably been through enough. Jesus, where does that leave me? Uh, there's Ana Ortiz. *crickets* Yeah, uh this is the Divine Design event for the Angel Food project. These things are a dime a dozen. Put on a dress, schmooze with people, hopefully it's open bar. These poor celebs.
