though she is in her late thirties, she looks older than her age. ellen pompeo is not a beautiful girl by any means but she would be so much prettier and healthier if she gained some weight. all that purging and dieting makes her look haggard and her face look bloated.

Looks quite pretty for a change.

Receiving a special achievement award though - what has she ever done that is ’special’ other than playing the most annoying, whiny, self-obsessed character on Greys LOL. What a joke !!

# 35

FUG @ 10/14/2007 at 1:06 pm

The dumb ***** hasnt done anything to deserve an award. The Emmy people wont even give her a nomination. lol. What is it a pity award?

Where is the Felon Ellen? Is he out gettting your drugs?

A role model, LOL. The ***** is a High School Dropout and is marrying a Felon.

***** ass *****.

# 36

Amanda @ 10/14/2007 at 1:10 pm

#35, you do realize that half the actors in Hollywood are high school dropouts?? And I’m almost certain that she did graduate high school…

who started the kate and ellen fanfirl war and can it be over. some people like both girls. okay i like kate wayyyyyyyyyyyy more but im a huge greys fan so stop acting like 12 year olds and grow up.

she looks good but i’ve seen her look better. her dress is pretty but would have been SO much better with some jewels. like her hair much better like that tho.

i think shes a sweetie.

ok i think you idiots will complain about anything. she is GORGEOUS, and she was nominated for a golden glove, that is pretty damn good if you would get your heads out of your whiny asses and get over yourselves you would see that. i hate people that whine because they are so miserable!

# 45

Jake @ 10/14/2007 at 4:27 pm

Yep, a special achievement award has to be a joke !! LOL

She’s got a weird face, very square & wide with slitty eyes. At least she is wearing something decent for a change.

I think she could have looked better; she needs to put on a little more weight. I like her hair, though

Zineb @ 10/14/2007 at 7:30 pm

SHe looks sooooo sooo pretty and she did do a movie with Martin and Leo, Catch me if you can!
Anyways she looks gorgeous and an absolutely great role model; i mean Gay and Lesbian member, and AIDS and One come on people stop insulting her. And she’s not pregnant people and she’s not anorexic stop it already. She’s great and my love and admiration for her has no end.

# 52

Zineb @ 10/14/2007 at 7:34 pm

Greysfan @ 10/14/2007 at 11:51 pm

It would be nice to know where her black fiance is. Wonder if he was there with her, as he seems to be for everything else she attends. And I wonder if she’s ever gotten any grief at all from her folks for going outside her race.

Just wondering. . .

Terrible skin, at least her fashion sense is better than usual. Very over-rated on Greys.

Ellen looks great and congrats to her. Why exactly are people mean and nasty? so she is not the most beautiful woman in hollywood, but she is beautiful in her own way. Just give the woman a break will u,the woman is trying to earn a living for her self. Also she didnt write the script did she? she was just following orders from Shonda, so her being an annoying doctor in grey’s shows just how amazing an actress she is.
