Ellen Pompeo is Pleasant @ Y-3

Mon, 04 February 2008 at 10:39 am

Ellen Pompeo gets sandwiched between music exec husband Chris Ivery and supermodel Helena Christensen while sitting front row at the Y-3 Fall 2008 fashion show at Pier 40 during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Fall 2008 on Sunday in New York City.

Photographers went crazy trying to snap pictures of the trio but Pompeo handled the attention gracefully as always. NY Magazine reports, “Though we have never heard particularly favorable whispers about her temperament, we have to give credit where credit is due: In this situation, where b—-iness would not only be understood but probably justified, Pompeo remained downright pleasant and even gave a huge smile and greeting to the PR person frantically trying to find her a seat.”

If you didn’t know, Y-3 is iconic Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto’s collaboration with Adidas sportswear.

Ellen is a real sweetheart, pleasant and kind to everyone. I’m looking forward to seeing her on Grey’s again very soon.

Jared’s very funny posting photos of the old soap opera Ellen (Pompeo), next to the newer younger award-winning Ellen (Page) !

This girl always looks the same. Lank hair with blotchy skin on a flat face & boring clothes - jeans, t-shirt, black coat. Repeat ad nauseum.

She sure loves the attention recently. Maybe she knows Greys is crap & is trying to resurrect a career ?

GA is not a soap!!!!

Ellen doesn’t have to put a tone of make up, to be pretty and she shows that she can be very glam : Chanel, Armani, SAG, and still being shinning in casual clothes!!!!

Like PD said ” EP is a dream”

SONIA @ 02/04/2008 at 2:56 pm

Ellen is an amazing actress, a kind woman, she has a beautiful soul, she seems genuine, this woman can do anything wrong, you just want to hug her when you see her!!!!

We already know that she’s a pleasant person!!!

LOL @ Jessie quoting at the altar of McDreamy ! You teenage Greys fans are so obsessive. Greys is a medical soap opera. Bed-hopping storylines that are running out of steam fast. It’s not high drama. Don’t try to kid yourself otherwise.

she seems so carefree

Tammi @ 02/04/2008 at 3:05 pm

She and Helena are so cute!!! Gah i love her and i cant wait for her to come back on greys, she’s the only thing that makes that show bearable at this point….hopefully she can get a new hot love interest, they would be steaming with her

She rocks….and im sad to see so many writers are still bieatching about punk’d….there is such a thing is getting over it

jeamis @ 02/04/2008 at 3:20 pm

This Pompeo chick is the perfect example of why I hate hollywood more and more everyday. This is a woman who barely made a living before her stupid medical soap opera and she’s already representing herself as thiss all-important celebrity. It digusts me. She keeps cropping up at fashion shows and wearing expensive designer clothes and her character on the show is notorious for being “annoying”. She’s not even recognized for any acting ability and she’s all over the celebritiy circuit and it angers me.

Remmebr teh good old days? When you had to actually EARN celebrity status in some way. Now, all you have to do is be a blip on the hollywood radar and you’re golden! I blame the media too but I’m so sick of it. She’s not the only one but I chose to take it out on her today! Haha.

Newspaper article on Greys Season 4 - they sure love Ellen (NOT !)

http://www.thestar.co.za/index.php?fArticleId=4234344

“Logic dictates that if you play the protagonist in a television series (to the extent that the show is named for your role), you should at least make the top ten in the “favourite TV personality” scales.

But Meredith Grey has managed to defy the odds,by repeatedly being pegged as one of the tube’s most dislikeable characters to date. Not that we’re surprised by this dubious honour, mind you …

Her pathetic neediness, maddening self-involvement and annoyingly breathy speech patterns are enough to make even the most placid of people lose their marbles! ”

LOL @ the pic of her as the devil !!

# 74

jeamis @ 02/04/2008 at 3:46 pm

Thanks ABC.

My point exactly. I think her show is garbage either way but she’s a major factor in why it sucks so bad. Ewww. I’m almost passionately against this show being on the air. I almost want to campaign to get rid of it. It’s poison.

malik @ 02/04/2008 at 4:10 pm

totally agree with you sonia :

Ellen is an amazing actress, a kind woman, she has a beautiful soul, she seems genuine, this woman can do anything wrong, you just want to hug her when you see her!!!!

We already know that she’s a pleasant person!!!

i am really upset and disappointed with this newpaper for writing such a bad thing about ellen. so the attack is now not on meredith but on ellen? i just dont get it…..what exactly did she do to deserve this. I hate shonda for making half of the fan hating this piece of jewel. beside why isnt dempsey attacked? he missed both KW and KH’s wedding.
so now she is a devil? why?

ADAM @ 02/04/2008 at 4:34 pm

poor poor poor jeamis, or is it ABC now… it doesn’t take a genius to see you changed your name to create an imaginary friend to have a conversation with, lonely and jealous are we??

First of all let me start with that article, that is based on false facts. the writer obviously doesn’t know the show, probably never saw it and has no clue about anything regarding these actors and their lives. and for her to shift her character bashing to the real actors is a real low move that means this writer has nothing to really write about. besides its a tabloid from south africa. no one really cares.

Second: Garbage??? I don’t think so. I know for a fact 22 million viewers agree with me. plus Ellen Pompeo carried the show on her shoulders from the start when it was all about Meredith and her life. She hooked those 22 million with the help of her costars which was very minimal at the beginning when we were being introduced to Meredith.

I really feel bad for you. you are soo jealous and have no social life or probably any life for that matter that you waste your time writing about shows you hate. really…. get a life. And simply, stay away from what you hate. it’s really easy. or even better, don’t hate. because seriously, Karmas a *****….

aint that the truth.

Ellen rocks. amazing actress. wonderful human being. endless support for her from every side. thank you jared for everything.
Can’t wait to Ellen on tv again. missing my Meredith Grey…

Spot on that article.

“Her pathetic neediness, maddening self-involvement and annoyingly breathy speech patterns are enough to make even the most placid of people lose their marbles! ”

Meredith to a tee. Ellen is unlucky to play her. But it’s no surprise news. Greys strength has always been the supporting actors & characters with Meredith being the weakest.

Ellen’s not Greys best actor. She played the same role on Moonlight Mile too which suggests her acting range is extremely limited. She must be lucky she has a job on Greys.

YANNA @ 02/04/2008 at 4:38 pm

ADAM - you must be watching another show. Where is Ellen’s Emmy, Golden Globe, SAG awards ? Nope, the supporting cast steals the limelight from her. Yet again !

Patrick Dempsey is the hook for the majority of the viewers - ie. teenage girls & middle-aged housewives. Ellen plays Cindrella to his Prince Charming.

curious @ 02/04/2008 at 4:43 pm

OMG! so much hatered in this world. The way ellen acts meredith is the way meredith is suppose to be. And guess what, even if she was the weakest actress in hollywood, there is only going to be one meredith grey and that will be ellen. so why dont you idiots get a life and backoff. you people make me sick. We appreciate ellen more in europe and you do in america, so many pple are just hateful, its sad.

It appears the writer really has no idea about the show. from what she wrote it seems she saw a couple of episodes and decided to write about it to gain front page cover because its a hit show. and to earn even more, she told false things, nothing is a true fact. she said Mcdreamy did drugs!!!!!! WHAT???!?!?! doesn’t she understand the concept of being addicted. she heard the word and jumped to drugs…. really. anyone who watches greys knows that article is a ridiculous attempt at gaining front page place. and the fact that she jumped to the conclusion that Ellen doesn’t go out with her cast mates… seriously??? with all her pics with Eric dane, her pics with Katherine heigl, sandra oh.. TR and everyone else, hanging out during the strike. staying in touch. her babysitting PDs babies??? traveling to japan with sandra oh??? its all wrong. the article is crap. now thats garbage. hehe

and its really low and not professional to shift her anger about the character to the actress herself. thats just plain stupid on her part. and a low low rude shot.

don’t pay any attention to it. no one probably takes the newspaper seriously anyways.

and if you wish you can write them on their site and tell them its all wrong. they have the contact us button on the letf hand side.

I hope we get more photo’s o her soon, she rocks!!

I didn’t know Derek did drugs….really…does he do merajuna?? That article needs to check its facts!!

# 83

ADAM @ 02/04/2008 at 4:47 pm

Ellen is an amazing actress, as curious said, she is acting Meredith as Meredith should be. plus Shonda Rhimes picked Ellen from moonlight mile because she wanted Meredith to be like that wise guy, thats what shonda herself said. if you watch Ellens other parts in all her movies and roles, you will know how amazing she is. if you don’t like it.. then stop talking about it. its easy really. we love the show and we love Meredith and we adore Ellen. you don’t. that’s fine… don’t write at her threads.

# 84

curious @ 02/04/2008 at 4:47 pm

thks Adam that makes me feel better but it still hurts you know. Ellen trying to make a living for herself yet she gets bashed by idiots. Did you say the paper is from south africa? what is it doing in america then. thks anyway.

# 85

ellen rocks @ 02/04/2008 at 4:50 pm

I adore Ellen.
I think shes amazing
gorgeous person
brilliant actress

and I can’t wait for Meredith next month want to see her kick Derecks As* …

# 86

ADAM @ 02/04/2008 at 4:55 pm

It’s only online. its not in america. the star.co.za its a tabloid newspaper in south africa. but Ellen bashers and haters love to dig for every crap about her and pot as evidence to their hate…

The wonderful thing is that Ellen has her full cast behind her. she has Shonda Rhimes betsy bears and everyone on ABC supporting her. ABC insisted she sign for 7 seasons this year, she is signed even if the show ends. they still want her there. thats huge. I want to see her in movies this summer… I really hope so. every summer she promotes Grey’s abroad. I hope she gets to do movies this time.

# 87

curious @ 02/04/2008 at 5:02 pm

Adam are you in America? at the rate we are going do you really think ellen will sign any movie, i mean i will love to see her movie but she doesnt seem to be wanting to do any movie yet. i think she is contended with what she has right now.

# 88

ADAM @ 02/04/2008 at 5:14 pm

no, I live in Rome right now. but I’m american.
you have to see how much they love Ellen here… its crazy.

Ellen is the lead of the show. she is handed the biggest responsibility of promoting the show. in an article printed here in italy almost 1 year ago. Shonda was saying that ABC and Grey’s themselves put extra preassure on Ellen than any other cast member, regarding her appearances on talk shows or interviews, for the show promotion. something along that line. I thought that they might be a bit strict about having their lead go and star in other movies, but it turned out he can. and she said she’s being attracted to any scripts shes getting.

I don’t blame her really.
she’s worked so hard to get where she is now. shes not a 20 year old with a bran new career. She left home at age 17 went to new york, worked in bar tending and modeling a bit till she got her first gig in 3 commercials in one day, when an agent came into the bar she worked at and asked her is she was an actress and that how it began. she was late twenties or early thirties then. she said once, she barely had money to pay rent. she had a boyfriend, the photographer Rosenthal they lived together for 10 years, until she moved to LA and they split up.

by the way he lives in LA as well now., only one year after she met Chris. so generally she had a tough life and worked so hard and now she has her own show. a mega hit show and shes knows world wide and loved everywhere. I can understand if she chooses not to go into movies, specially if she starts considering having a family now.
