Grey’s Anatomy star Eric Dane has joined Jennifer Aniston, Owen Wilson, and Alan Arkin in Marley & Me, Fox 2000’s adaptation of John Grogan’s bestselling memoir.

David Frankel (The Devil Wears Prada) is directing the movie, about an ambitious reporter (Wilson) who moves with his wife (Aniston) to Miami for a newspaper job and decides to adopt a puppy before starting a family. The dog, Marley, starts out as a cute, little Lab puppy but grows up to be quite a handful, barreling through their home, eating everything in sight, and even getting booted out of obedience school.

Dane plays the reporter’s best friend, who helps talk him into getting the dog. Shooting starts this month. The last feature projects for Dane, who plays Dr. Mark ”McSteamy” Sloan on Grey’s, were 2006’s X-Men: The Last Stand and Open Water 2: Adrift.

Ooops?

Eric Dane’s “fight against cancer” was not nearly as dramatic as it sounds.

OK! magazine’s cover story of their February 18 issue sensationalized the fact that the Grey’s Anatomy actor, 35, had some malignant cells on his lip frozen off with liquid nitrogen in a doctor’s office.

“Eric Dane does not have cancer,” his rep tells Us Weekly in its latest issue, on newsstands now. “He spoke with OK! to clear up some inaccuracies they were planning to run. His story certainly does not compare with those actually suffering from the disease.”

Dane, a source tells Us was “mortified” by the cover. “Never in a million years would he have expected they would exploit his story,” says the source. “He’s considering legal action.”

(A rep for OK! tells Us, “OK! has not been contacted about legal action.)

This isn’t the first time OK! has been wrong. Last month, Jessica Simpson’s lawyers sent a strongly-worded letter demanding a retraction for an article claiming beau Tony Romo dumped her because she was high-maintenance. “That rag completely fabricated and made up this story,” rep Cindi Berger told Usmagazine.com.
