Ellen Pompeo: Excuse Me, I Don't Have 12 Toes

It became an urban legend before lunch on Thursday then spread across the Internet like flames on an oil slick.

Ellen Pompeo, the actress whose body is seemingly perfect, has a strange deformity: one extra toe on each foot. How odd, right?

But alas, Pompeo has only 10 toes -- like most of us.

A photo, taken of Pompeo while walking around a Los Angeles neighborhood, seemed to indicate the Gray's Anatomy star had six toes on each foot. But it turns out -- according to Pompeo's denial -- it's all just an optical illusion.

And, other than her podiatrist, who would know better than Pompeo about her own feet?
