Patrick Dempsey

Sometimes life imitates art, or something like that.

Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey channeled his inner Dr. McDreamy this week when he helped rescue a teenager who careened off the road and overturned his car completely near the actor's property in Malibu, Calif.

The car had rolled repeatedly and was totaled.

Dempsey reportedly ran toward the car with crowbar in hand so he could pry the driver out of the wrecked Mustang, and was successful.

A neighbor called 911 and the police came, with paramedics treating the crash victim for a concussion, and stunningly nothing worse.

Patrick, of course, never mentioned any of this. No word who the kid who crashed is, but Shawn Ryan, the creator of The Shield, tweeted:

"True Story: Grey's Anatomy actor Patrick Dempsey pulled my friend's son out of an overturned car after bad accident on Tuesday. #GoodDude"

Thank about an #understatement.

Jim Carrey vs. Patrick Dempsey. Not a style showdown you were probably expecting in THG's Fashion Face-Off series, but a fun one just the same!

Carrey's still an all-time movie star, yet has been absent from the spotlight (relatively speaking) in recent years. The Grey's Anatomy cast member, meanwhile, has seen a resurgence in his career over the past half-decade.

Both gents dressed down for the MTV Movie Awards. No ties required. Who do you think was the best dressed Sunday? Tell us by casting a vote:

Get ready to say your McByes, Grey's Anatomy fans.

Patrick Dempsey, who has been with the ABC series since its premiere and who has seen his career resurrected as the result of playing Dr. Derek Sheperd, has made it official: the 2011-2012 season will be his last.

"I do not know what’s going to happen to the other characters, but for me it’s done," the actor says in Italian Vanity Fair, saying the decision is “bittersweet because it’s been great and a great part of my life. But I can’t see me doing it anymore.”

Dempsey's rep tells E! News his client "was referring to the fact that his contract is up at the end of next season and we have no idea what the future holds," but rumors have ran rampant that both Dempsey and Ellen Pompeo will make season eight their last.

That actress' deal is also up next spring.

Can Grey's Anatomy go on without its two leads? Most likely. Creator Shonda Rhimes has made it clear she's open to continuing without Meredith and Derek and, hey, there's even another Grey on board in the former of Chyler Leigh's Lexie.

But would you watch the show without MerDer? That's the question, viewers. Answer it now:

People magazine's Sexiest Man Alive honor is quite coveted.

Fans and gossip sites like THG debate who it should go, but while debates can be heated, but most of us happily salute the winner, whomever it might be.

Most of us. Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey was none too pleased when he learned that Ryan Reynolds earned the title over him this year ...

Irate Patrick Dempsey

If Grey's Anatomy has any fans left, tonight's two-hour fourth season finale is supposedly the night you've been waiting for!

Just kidding. The show still draws millions of loyal viewers. Yet it's been a long time since something interesting happened on it.

Well, that supposedly changes tonight. Meredith (Ellen Pompeo) and Derek (Patrick Dempsey) are going to be getting together for good.

We know this because the show's own creator and producer, Shonda Rhimes, has already said so publicly. We don't get it either.

Anyway, here's a photo from tonight's show. Meredith is holding what looks like champagne, ready to celebrate ... something.

More than three years later, will a terrific episode finally bring Meredith and Derek together - or will the hit medical drama jump the shark for good?

Also, Alex and Izzie may or may not get together, and there's another love triangle involving possible girl-on-girl action. Gotta love Grey's Anatomy!

Ghost Whisperer star Jennifer Love Hewitt and Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey were recently voted the sexiest stars on TV by TV Guide.

Hard to argue with that logic. The respective hotties will appear on two alternative covers of the TV magazine's "Sexiest Stars" issue.

In honor of the (well-deserved, sexy) honors earned by Jennifer Love Hewitt and Patrick Dempsey, here is a very sexy photo of each. Enjoy ...

J. Love and Patrick Dempsey: The sexiest stars on TV.

All we have to say about these pics is that McDreamy is living up to his McNickname, and man, all those ghosts Jennifer Love Hewitt whispers to on the CBS TV show she apparently stars on are pretty damn lucky.

McDreamy is no McSteamy, Patrick Dempsey admits.

"I'm not Eric Dane â€" McSteamy is in perfect shape" the Grey's Anatomy star tells the new issue of Parade Magazine. "I definitely have pec envy."

"There's a lot of pressure being a man in this town."

He says his wife of eight years, Jillian, keeps him grounded.

"She always says in the morning, ‘They should see you now!'" jokes Dempsey, who adds that fame "gets very heady ... you've got to be very careful.

"I think I've been managing that well. This is a great opportunity now to really define the next part of my life. I just want to do it right."

Defining the life of Patrick Dempsey these days at home? His daughter Tallulah, 6, and his one-year-old twins, Darby and Sullivan.

"It's like a slapstick routine watching these drunk little men run around because they're so wobbly," he says. "When you see something happen that they couldn't do the day before, it's really heartwarming."

As for what happens tonight with Meredith and Derek? That you'll have to wait and see, although Dempsey says he's "excited" for the couple to finally move forward and grow together.

Patrick and the rest of the Grey's Anatomy cast return at 9 p.m. on ABC. How well do you know the hit medical drama? Follow this link for an exclusive Grey's Anatomy quiz!

Just call him Dr. McDreamy ... on Grey's Anatomy and in real life!

Patrick Dempsey unveiled a cancer center in his name at the Central Maine Medical Center in his hometown of Lewiston, Maine, on Monday.

The Patrick Dempsey Center for Cancer Hope & Healing, which opens March 31, will offer education and support for cancer patients and their families.

The handsome Grey's Anatomy star, 42, says he was inspired after his mother successfully overcame ovarian cancer at the hospital.

"For a family to get a cancer diagnosis is devastating, and all the information out there can be overwhelming," Patrick Dempsey said.

"A lot of the Web sites I went to just didn't have enough information."

Patrick provided a seed grant for the center, will also take part in the center's public education campaign about cancer prevention and detection.

His sister, Mary, a hospital employee, will run the center.

Dempsey has been married to his wife, Jillian Dempsey, for eight years. They have twins, Darby and Sullivan, 1, and a daughter, Tallulah, 6.

With all the scandal we write about on The Hollywood Gossip, it's always nice to see that some celebrities are grounded and giving back to their community.

A naked, writhing, sweaty Marisa Tomei engaged in feverish, doggy-style sex might sound terrific to a lot of you guys reading this.

Well, yeah... and if it weren't for the hulking, naked Philip Seymour Hoffman going to town on her, we might share that sentiment.

This is why some sites have called the raunchy, vigorous Marisa Tomei nude scene - from "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead" - the best sex scene of its naked kind in 2007, while others have deemed the same scene the year's worst.

Good: Marisa Tomei nude. Bad: Philip Seymour Hoffman nude on top of her.

It's like a metaphor for life. Every Marisa Tomei naked scene has its pudgy, nude Philip Seymour Hoffman counterpart. Yin and yang. Okay, moving on.

Papermag's Cinemaniac compiled his list of the Top 10 Worst Nude Scenes of All Time, inspired by "Before the Devil Knows You're Dead."

Here are the rest of the scenes and celebrities making the list, such as Grey's Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey and some actually good actresses...

We know. It's extremely difficult to compete with George Clooney in this category, even if your TV character gave birth to the term McDreamy.

But Patrick Dempsey pulls it off.

Not just because he's a handsome fellow, either. Patrick Dempsey is one of the most laid-back celebrities out there, unmoved by his own fame.

He and his wife, Jillian Dempsey (pictured), have been married since 1999 and have three children. That's an eternity in Hollywood, or anywhere these days!

For these reason, the Grey's Anatomy / Enchanted star and family man was the dreamiest star on the red carpet last night, in our opinion ...
