Dr.McDreamy knows my pain

Patrick Dempsey is plagued with the same self-doubt that has crippled me for years.

Patrick Dempsey was wracked with insecurity after being out of work for ten years before landing his role in "Grey's Anatomy." "I'm ugly, I'm untalented, I'm no good, I'm a has-been. It's like [bleep], what happened to me? I used to be me," Dempsey tells the March issue of Details mag. Dempsey even stopped going to the movies because he was upset about not being able to land roles in any films. "I'd come in [to movies] with this bitter attitude. It's not an escape, because I feel this disappointment, this jealousy."

Patrick Dempsey has articulated the main reason I have a celebrity gossip blog - I am incapable of absorbing news about people who are smarter than me and/or have more legitimate success than me. I am, however, like a sponge for news regarding Katie Holmes' fake pregnancy, Britney Spears abandoning her career and self-respect, and Paris Hilton doing anything. Don't start feeling all superior though - that's why you're reading this. Flavor of Love makes everyone respect themselves a little more.
