Dr. McSmelly 2

From National Enquirer

The Bad Breath Epidemic rages on at "Grey's Anatomy." Weeks back I told you ERIC "Dr. McSteamy" DANE was dubbed "Dr. McSmelly" by co-stars KATE WALSH and SARA RAMIREZ, who complained bitterly to producers that his halitosis was literally breathtaking. That problem got solved, but now ELLEN POMPEO's raised a new stink – this time about PATRICK "Dr. McDreamy" DEMPSEY. When filming resumed after a midday break, Ellen yelped at Patrick, "Oh, my God, what did you have for lunch?" Embarrassed, Patrick apologized profusely, confessing he'd masticated salad drowned in garlic dressing. "Dr. McFoul-Mouth" was handed a jar of mouthwash and sent off to gargle until he was kissing-sweet.

Grey's Star Sheds 25 Lbs.

Fans of "Grey's Anatomy" are going to be seeing a lot less of co-star Sara Ramirez.

The 5-foot-9 actress has dropped 25 pounds and now weighs 145. The curvy Latina said she did it with exercise and a sensible diet, eschewing the quick fixes she turned to in the past, such as dangerous diet pills.

"On the set, there's catered food everywhere you look," said Sara, who plays Dr. Callie Torres on the hit show. She says she packed on weight during filming last season.

"My energy level was low and I felt unhealthy, so I decided on my own to get a trainer."

Sara, 31, moved to the U.S. from Mexico with her mom when she was 8 and says she's struggled with weight issues all her life.

But it wasn't until she attended Juilliard, the prestigious performing arts school in New York City, that she began a destructive cycle of binge-eating and crash dieting.

"Somewhere along the line, all the self-esteem I'd felt went out the window. My weight constantly yo-yoed - at my slimmest I was a size 6; my biggest, a 14."

Things only got worse when she went to Hollywood and starved herself on celery sticks and peanut butter so she could compete with thinner actresses for TV roles. Sara then turned to diet pills. "They made my heart race, but I felt I needed them," she explained.

"After six months, my body had had enough. I could feel myself getting shakier, and I grew more and more scared knowing I was putting my heart in danger."
