Patrick Dempsey has McDreams of big screen stardom...

He got his start in movies as a youngster in such films as "Loverboy" and "Can't Buy Me Love" in the late 80s. But Patrick Dempsey's greatest success has been on television on "Grey's Anatomy." But he is wise to try and regain that movie stardom while he is hot and is currently filming the romantic comedy "Made of Honor" where he is asked to be the man of honor for his close female friend with whom he really is in love. Sounds like "My Best Friend's Wedding" but with the genders reversed. The film is scheduled for release next year. Meanwhile, Dempsey's recent film with Hilary Swank, "Freedom Writers," is just out on DVD and this Christmas, he has a role in the promising Disney flick "Enchanted" which I've seen a chunk of and I predict will be a big holiday hit.

Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
