More proof that nice guys don't finish first: The two best-paid men on primetime TV this year were Simon Cowell and Donald Trump.

Forbes' new top 10 list of the best-paid men in primetime estimates that the 'American Idol' judge took home $75 million last year, while the 'Apprentice' kingpin earned $50 million from his entertainment ventures. Like many on the list, Cowell and Trump have diverse showbiz holdings that earn them much more than just the salaries they get for their on-air appearances on primetime reality shows.

That hair ... those eyes. Let's face it, there's plenty to love about the man they (and okay, we) call McDreamy. 'Grey's Anatomy' star Patrick Dempsey, a Golden Globe winner for his role as Derek Shepherd, Seattle Grace's sexiest doc, recently topped AOL TV's list of the 50 Hunkiest Stars in TV history.

"I think the strike has been a great thing for Shonda Rhimes and for the other writers and for all the actors."

Hordes of adoring female fans, a hit TV show, the lead in a big summer movie and perfect hair to boot.

Yep, it's just another day in the life of Patrick Dempsey, resident heartthrob on 'Grey's Anatomy' and the star of the romantic comedy 'Made of Honor.'

In an exclusive Q&A, TV's most immaculately hair-gelled doc gets candid about Derek and Meredith's future on 'Grey's,' the allure of becoming a clown and the secret to that McDreamy 'do.
