This Cracks Me Up

Here is the Access Hollywood link to all of this commotion!

Yes, this post is about Grey's. It's just really funny to me...everyone's trying to make the GA set out to be some sort of battleground. This summer, there were reports that Patrick Dempsey threw Kate Walsh (Addison) into a wall during the filming of the New York flashback scene for the premiere and that she was terrified of him from then on. Uh huh. Now there's reports of a huge fight between Isaiah Washington (Dr. Burke) and Patrick Dempsey. What I had originally heard was that Isaiah was upset because of some filming delay. Patrick Dempsey said that it wasn't because of him; that he thought TR Knight (George) was causing the delay. This is where it gets comical. Apparently, IW begins threatening TR. PD tells IW to "pick on someone his own size" and IW allegedly comes after PD. IW grabs PD's throat and pushes him back several feet. At this point, the fight is broken up and IW goes to his trailer. I don't need to know that this comes from the freaking (my favorite word today) Enquirer that it's crap. People Magazine has a web article out that doesn't deny a fight but denies anything physical:

Patrick Dempsey & Isaiah Washington's On-Set Dustup

There would have been no shortage of bandages if things had really gotten out of hand during an on-set argument between Grey's Anatomy costars Patrick Dempsey and Isaiah Washington on Monday.

Dempsey, 40, and Washington, 43, didn't need medical aid, but the actors, who both play renowned doctors on the show, nearly came to blows during a spat over shooting issues.

"We were like two baseball players . . . nose-to-nose," Washington tells PEOPLE. "We had a difference of opinions while working on set but we've resolved it."

At issue, says Washington, was "time and (keeping) the production going. The communication was lost in translation."

But no punches were thrown: "Our faces are too beautiful for that!," says Washington, who plays Dr. Preston Burke. Dempsey plays heartthrob Dr. Derek Shepherd, otherwise known as "Dr. McDreamy."

In fact, just a few hours after the dustup, Washington and Dempsey were sitting side by side at a script read-through.

"In close families arguments happen," Dempsey's rep tells PEOPLE. "They worked it out."

Washington even learned a little something about his costar. "I've never been that close to (Patrick) before," he says. "He has really pretty blue eyes."


I know...I'm a loser...whatever. Here's what's even funnier...IW claims that he was supposed to be McDreamy (he auditioned for the part) but wasn't even going to be cast at all after he lost the part of PD! It was only after another actor had to step out did he get Burke! LOL!
