Still looking like a couple of newlyweds in love, Ellen Pompeo and her husband Chris Ivery were spotted on their way home from a romantic dinner date at Madeo Restaurant in Beverly Hills, California.

The “Grey’s Anatomy” babe looked leggy in a brown belted minidress teamed with a pair of brown suede boots as she made her way back to her car, escorted by her doting hubby.

Speaking of “Grey’s Anatomy,” star Patrick Dempsey told press that his character may very well be getting married to Pompeo’s in the not-too-distant future.

“Rumor has it that something might be happening. I think they have to. It’s time for them to get together. [But] we haven’t shot anything related to any kind of engagement or wedding. And I haven’t seen anything in a script.”

Okay, so it wasn’t quite like Los Angeles. But the stars still turned out in force for game six of the Lakers-Celtics championship series in Boston Tuesday night.

And it’s a good thing, too, because the Bean Town boys put away Kobe and Co. in a 131-92 rout - becoming the new NBA Champions.

Hometown boy Donnie Wahlberg - who predicted the victory to PEOPLE last week - pulled buddy Joey McIntyre onto the court for some post-game revelry.

Also in the house? Steven Tyler - fresh from his stint in rehab following foot surgery - and Boston native Ellen Pompeo. (Alas, it seems the Grey’s Anatomy star has switched her allegiance to Los Angeles - she left the game early.)

Even longtime Lakers fan Leonard DiCaprio was there for the disappointment, watching from a private suite.

Hollywood. (For the record, the Desperate Housewives star has

repeatedly denied she is

pregnant.) Says an onlooker: “She was looking at cribs and other furniture.”

In the end, she dropped around $300 on some cute onesies, blankets and a

photo album.

• Claire Danes, working up a sweat on the

elliptical machine for an hour at Equinox Soho in New York. Wearing black

Ellen Pompeo had haute couture on her mind when she hit Paris Fashion Week - but she couldn’t help gushing about wedded bliss with Chris Ivery.

“We’re blessed,” the 38-year-old Grey’s Anatomy star told PEOPLE of her two-month union (sealed in November with a quiet ceremony at New York’s City Hall).

Her music-producer husband piped in on cue: “I’m the real McDreamy!”

Friday’s Caught in the Act >

Ellen Pompeo now officially has her own McDreamy: the Grey’s Anatomy star and fiancé Chris Ivery married on Friday, her dad confirms to PEOPLE.

“I’m very happy for her,” Joseph Pompeo, of Everett, Mass., said Wednesday. “She just didn’t want a big thing.”

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg served as a witness at the brief ceremony, which was performed at City Hall in Lower Manhattan by a city clerk, the Boston Globe originally reported.

The connection between the couple and Hizzoner has to do with the fact that the record-producer groom, 38, grew up in Boston, while Bloomberg himself is a native of Medford, Mass., and they have mutual friends. Pompeo, who also turned 38 on Saturday, hails from Everett.

“We have a lot in common,” Pompeo has told PEOPLE of Ivery. “We’re from the same hometown, almost.”

A Love Story

The couple met in a Los Angeles grocery store in 2003 and began dating about six months later, after “one night she just looked different to me,” Ivery told PEOPLE last year.

“They are over the moon,” the actress’s spokeswoman told the Globe of Pompeo and Ivery.

After the nuptials, the newlyweds reportedly were seen at Sunday night’s Knicks game at Madison Square Garden, before the bride returned to Hollywood to continue shooting her series - though it soon threatens to shut down due to the writers’ strike

In June, Pompeo had told PEOPLE her wedding would not be a lavish affair, but that it would be held out of town.

“There will be no ‘big’ anything,” she said. “It’s going to be very small.”

Beyond that, she and Ivery, who became engaged in November, would only say, “We were thinking about going away and getting married.”
