Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey said that romance ‘takes more than just flowers’.

Dempsey, 44, has been married to wife Jill for 10 years and they have three children together – Talula Fyfe, eight, and twins Darby and Sullivan, three.

Asked if he is romantic, he said: “I am romantic, but I think it takes more than just flowers. Marriage is great and blissful, but it takes work and understanding.

“You have to make time to spend together and to work through your issues. The more we grow and learn, both as individuals and as a couple, the closer we get.”

Actress Eva Longoria Parker shared some of her own marriage secrets as she helped settle warring couples’ domestic disputes on new TV series The Marriage Ref.

The Desperate Housewives beauty told how she “made” basketball star husband Tony Parker get a tattoo on his ring finger because he has to take off his wedding band on the court.

She also confessed she won’t let anyone use her formal dining and living rooms and told how Tony can’t change a lightbulb.

Eva also joked Tony has never seen her without makeup – and made a saucy gag about shaving for her man if he liked “bald” women.

She joined a celebrity panel with show creator Jerry Seinfeld and comedienne Tina Fey to argue the cases to Marriage Ref Tom Papa before he decided if the husband or wife was the winner.

One real-life couple was arguing about the husband removing his wedding ring to play basketball.

Eva said: “You can’t play basketball with the ring. If you are Tony and you dunk or something, you get caught and your finger can come off.

“When we first got married, it was a problem because he was like: ‘I can’t wear it.’

“Then he would forget it. So I made him get a tattoo.”

Eva still sided with the wife though, showing the value of wedding rings in keeping women away for your husband by pointing to her band and hissing like a snake.

Isla Fisher normally rides the waves of her controversial husband Sacha Baron Cohen’s career.

But an Australian newspaper reports the gorgeous Fisher may have lost her chance to walk the red carpet at this Sunday’s Oscars following the to and fro that left Cohen out of the presenter line-up this year.

Cohen was mooted for host of the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony before Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin were chosen to share the gig. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was said to have decided against the provocative Cohen. Next, he was being held out as a presenter. That was before organisers dropped him for an Avatar skit with Ben Stiller in a move that Cohen’s camp amicably laid to “creative differences”.

Now Fisher, 34, a budding starlet and actress in such flicks as Wedding Crashers and Confessions Of A Shopaholic, may have to stay home a la Cinderella.
