PATRICK Dempsey is doing the rounds over in Europe for his film Made of Honor, but unfortunately for Grey’s Anatomy dreamboat, the itinerary didn’t include a stop in his ancestral homeland. “I’ve never visited Ireland, though I think I’d fall in love with the place if I did. I much prefer the countryside to cities,” he said . . .

ONE famous actor planning a return trip to Ireland is Johnny Depp, according to the Sunday Independent. Depp will arrive in the middle of next month to meet with J.P. Donleavy, the famed Irish writer who penned The Ginger Man. Depp wants to bring the novel to screen, and also wants to play the lead part, that of the drunken rogue Sebastian Dangerfield. The meeting, says the paper, will take place at Donleavy’s farm in Co. Westmeath. Depp is no stranger to the Emerald Isle. He spent some time in Cork in 1995 preparing for the ill-fated Marlon Brando comedy Divine Rapture, which ultimately never got made. He’s also mighty friendly with hell-raising Irish rocker Shane MacGowan of the Pogues.
