Jerry O'Connell hosted an "alcohol-fueled" party to celebrate the end of the long-ass writers' strike. Woot, woot — right? Five hundred people and $20,000 worth of neighborhood property damage later, O'Connell finds himself in deep shite for, like you know, just giving everyone a good time.
The writers are striking! The writers are striking! And it's becoming increasingly apparent that the only way to end the dispute is with a pair of magical penny scissors.

Dr. McDreamy, aka Patrick Dempsey has been absent from the small screen due to the recent writers' strike but not only is he back on Grey's, he's back on the big screen as well in last weekend's Made of Honor. This romantic comedy mirrors that of My Best Friend's Wedding, with a few different twists and turns of course, but come on ladies, who could just be friends with Patrick Dempsey?!
