Celebrity Feuds
McDreamy Feud: Behind the Scenes

TMZ has the inside dirt on a feud between Patrick Dempsey and Isaiah Washington that bubbled over on the "Grey's Anatomy" set this week.

According to the NY Daily News' Rush & Molloy, Washington said "some disgusting things" and got in Dempsey's face. The National Enquirer kicked it up a notch, reporting that Washington had shoved Dempsey and choked him.

Now TMZ has new details on the dust up. We're told by sources on the ABC lot where the show is taped that production was abruptly halted yesterday. One spy says Dempsey and co-star Ellen Pompeo went to the commissary and were seen "whispering" for a while, and then Dempsey went outside and sat by himself.

One of Washington's friends tells a TMZ spy that the relationship between Isaiah and Patrick is "tense." The friend went on to say that Washington thinks Dempsey's "nice guy image is a bit of an act."

It appears execs on "Grey's" don't have a quick fix in mind. Show creator Shondra Rhimes was seen wandering around the lot during the time production was stopped.

151. I love Snoopy for that wonderful comment. I hate when people turn everything into a black and white issue. From what I understand, Isaiah Washington, who is a good looking man, lost his temper, and choked Patrick Dempsey, another good looking man. They settled their dispute, and it's over now. For those of you who say Patrick is a prick because you saw him for a few minutes at a store, did you ever think that maybe he didn't feel like being gawked at? Celebrities don't exactly have the easiest time out in public. He was no doubt being mobbed by people, so maybe you should have just backed off and given him his space. I'm a woman, and usually when I go out ANYWHERE, I have people up in my face. It's irritating, being that I'm rather shy. It's uncomfortable, and I act uncomfortable. It doesn't mean I'm a bitch. Think about it. Both of those men are hot, and I'd take them both any day!!
