Why slam an actress for (gasp) speaking her mind? Aren't there enough boring stars?

Could there be a worse career move for an actress than telling the truth? The strange case of Katherine Heigl makes me wonder. Heigl, who won an Emmy last fall for Grey's Anatomy, is not among this year's nominees. And given the tempest in the infotainment teapot caused by her decision to exclude herself from contention, you'd think she had beaten up Dakota Fanning.

I first learned about Heigl's choice when I saw the AOL News headline '''Grey's' Beauty Has Ugly Mouth.'' (Yes, I clicked on it. Why? Because I'm an idiot. Last week, I also clicked on the headline ''Thousands Prepare for End of World,'' because I have a vacation coming up.) Anyway, ''Ugly Mouth'' led me to the portal of celeb-news hell known as TMZ, which shouted ''Paging Dr. Ungreytful — Get Off Your Heigl Horse!''

Patrick Dempsey may be primetime TV's hottest doctor, but during his teen years, McDreamy admits to PEOPLE that he was more like McStinky.

"I remember wearing my first cologne, and it was Polo by Ralph Lauren – and I put the entire bottle on my body," the Grey's Anatomy star, 42, said Monday at Avon's launch party in New York City to unveil the Patrick Dempsey Unscripted cologne.

"I was one of those young men that thought more is better," he says, "and everybody looked at me and thought that I was a freak because I smelled so strong of cologne."

No one is more surprised than dreamy Patrick Dempsey that he's launching a new men's cologne with Avon this fall. 

"I can't believe I have a cologne, it's really hysterical, and people really enjoy it!" he joked at last night's NYC launch party for "Patrick Dempsey Unscripted."

NEW YORK, July 22, 2008 /PRNewswire via COMTEX/ --

Avon Products, Inc. today announced the debut of Patrick Dempsey Unscripted, the signature men's fragrance the company created with award-winning actor Patrick Dempsey. The unveiling of the fragrance took place at an exclusive cocktail party hosted by Avon Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Andrea Jung at The Skyloft Penthouse in Tribeca. The debut of the fragrance follows the announcement of the multi-year partnership agreement Avon made with the actor in May 2008. The fragrance tagline, "Follow Your Passion," captures the true essence of Patrick and his belief that each individual should develop and write their own script for life. Patrick Dempsey Unscripted will launch in November of 2008 in the U.S., with a global launch following in 2009.

Over half a million Brits are expected to make the trip to the country's biggest car show - many of whom will be gagging to find out the motoring industry's biggest kept secret.

"We've had calls from J Lo, Kelly Rowland and Patrick Dempsey. Kelly Rowland is obviously good friends with Beyonce, who is also interested. Charlotte Church and Gavin Henderson are quite keen because of the two plus two design, they'll have somewhere to seat the kids."
