Patrick Dempsey‘s new fragrance is about his marriage.
The Grey’s Anatomy actor - who has recently launched Patrick Dempsey 2, with beauty retailer Avon - designed the scent to represent the “power” of his ten-year union to Avon’s Creative Color Director, Jillian Dempsey.
“The first fragrance, Unscripted, was about the individual, following your passion and all of that. Why not take it to the next step and go, ‘this is about two people and the power of the relationship.’”
The 43-year-old star even turned down the chance to snuggle up to a sexy model in the advertising campaign, and instead persuaded Avon bosses to let Jillian pose in front of the camera with him.
He told Avon staff, “I don’t feel comfortable having a model in the ads. I’m married, and that’s not something I want to project. Why can’t I just use my wife and make it about that?”
In the end, the dark-haired hunk was pleased with the advertisement for the mandarin, spiced wood and green fig fragrance. It shows the couple gazing lovingly at one another at the seaside while the sun sets in the background. He is quoted by People as saying, “It was a nice moment for us to be together.”

Jesse McCartney helps City of Hope cancer center
WHO: Platinum-selling singer, songwriter and actor Jesse McCartney sold more than 1.5 million copies of his first album, "Beautiful Soul," and most recently re-released his third album, "Departure: Recharged." When he's not recording and writing songs for Toni Braxton and Leighton Meester, McCartney can be seen or heard (previously and now) on the big and small screens in "All My Children" ('98-'99), "Law and Order: SVU" (2008) and as the voice of Theodore in "Alvin & the Chipmunks" and its upcoming "Squeakquel."
WHAT: City of Hope, one of the nation's leading research and treatment for cancer, diabetes and other life-threatening diseases. Designated as a Comprehensive Cancer Center, City of Hope's research and treatment protocols advance care throughout the nation.
WHY: "Bob Cavallo (chairman of the Disney Music Group and) the head of Hollywood Records, which has been my record label for the last six years, introduced me to City of Hope. Once I had the chance to really study the center and all of the things that they do, especially with their pediatric programs, I became a little obsessed." Besides frequenting the Duarte, Calif.-based center, McCartney recently took to the Nokia Theater stage with Miley Cyrus and Demi Lovato for the second annual Concert for Hope, raising funds for the center's cancer research efforts.
WHAT'S NEXT: McCartney plans to continue fund-raising for City of Hope, which is in the final construction stages of a new facility, the Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center for Cancer Immunotherapeutics and Tumor Immunology, opening in early 2010. - Link

One of the few television series that I’ve ever bought that I just can’t get into is HBO’s Entourage. It’s hard to explain, but I’ve found it almost impossible to get into the show’s non-narrative and become interested in surface level characters (save for Jeremy Piven’s Ari Gold). That said, it should come as no surprise that I’m moved in no way when series exec. producer Mark Wahlberg tells THR at the recent junket for The Lovely Bones that he foresees the potential for an Entourage movie.
According to Wahlberg, it is still in the “we’ll see” territory, but he feels that there could be more story there to tell. The show itself was just picked up for its seventh season, and Wahlberg has been quoted as saying that the Doug Ellin-created show has about two seasons left in it, then possibly a movie.
I don’t want to beat a dead horse on this, but its obvious to me that it’s a dumb idea. Wouldn’t we rather see a real version of Queens Blvd. instead? - link

Adam Lambert is trying to keep his chin up.
ABC -- which already cancelled his Good Morning America performance in the wake of his provocative AMAs number -- has dumped Lambert again. And again!
Lambert Tweeted Tuesday, "Yes, sadly friends, ABC has cancelled my appearance on Kimmel and NYE." The singer, 27, suggests the network isn't exactly to blame for nixing his Jimmy Kimmel Live and New Year's Eve appearance.
"Don't blame them," he writes. "It's the FCC heat."
(The Federal Communication Commission could potentially fine ABC if its programming is found objectionable; ABC received more than 1500 complaints as a result of Lambert's AMAs show, in which he simulated oral sex and kissed his keyboardist.) - Link
