Who would you rather see as the face of Versace – Patrick Dempsey or Gerard Butler? Well, that is the big question looming. Dempsey is currently Versace’s face of the menswear line, but there is talk that Donatella Versace is looking at changing this up a bit.

A source talked to OK! and said:

“Ironically, Gerard is most famous for a role in which he practically wore no clothes, but he’ll be a much better fit for the sexy brand.”

Gerard was personally invited by Donatella to Milan for the runway show on June 21st. She is said the be the only woman trying to keep his clothes on, not take them off.

Personally, we have no preference as they are great looking men and both would do the men’s line plenty of justice. Time will tell if Gerard will take over. At this point a Versace rep is denying the rumor.

Patrick Dempsy, the hot Doctor on Grey’s Anatomy, talked to Extra on fatherhood and work.

The actor tells “Extra” that his 6-month-old twin sons “are developing beautifully … It’s a lot of fun.”

It’s a sentiment he echoes when asked about filming the latest installment of his hit TV show: “It’s a lot lighter, people are having more fun.”

“The energy and the adjustments make a big difference,” he says, referring to the departure of Isaiah Washington after an on-set altercation between the stars last season.

Definitely pumped to be back at Seattle Grace, he declares, “I’m going to go save some lives again!”

Dempsey, 41, who races cars on the Hyper Sport racing team, plans to have twins Darby Galen and Sullivan Patrick driving “soon enough.”

“You can get those little go carts,” he says, but there’ll be “no pressure” for them to race like dad.
