The American Film Institute is honoring actor/director Clint Eastwood with an honorary Doctorate of Fine Arts degree! Last week he was presented with the honorary degree for his “contribution of distinction to the art of the moving image” during their commencement ceremony for the 2009 graduating class.

During his speech he reflected on his early filmmaking experiences:

“I never went to a film school because they didn’t have them when I started out. But after doing more than 50 films as an actor and 30 as a director I would have thought I could have graduated before this.”

Congrats!

Heroes hottie Hayden Panettiere kept busy shopping on the streets of Los Angeles today. I can’t say I’ve ever seen her in eye glasses before. She looks really cute!

After trying on a few different styles she left wearing some Ray Bans and a pair of her favorite Uggs. Isn’t it too hot in L.A. to wear those shoes? I imagine I’d be roasting in them!

Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey met with fans before racing his Ferrari F430 GT in his first 24 hour race at Le Mans Circuit today. This is his first time racing at Le Mans since beginning his racing career a few years ago.

“It’s been overwhelming,” Dempsey said. “The response at tech was quite special. I was just blown away by the energy of the people. The depth of the photos and history with the fans is remarkable. They are well-prepared.”

McDreamy had a bit of an accident when Dempsey cut the inside of the corner causing everyone to break. The actor is racing in order to collect 50,000 euros for children born with heart defects.
