Also taking in the tilt next to the Boston Celtics bench were “Grey’s Anatomy” doc - and Everett homegal - Ellen Pompeo and her hubby, music producer Chris Ivery, who hails from Cambridge. The new bride was soooo thrilled with her night out at the Gaaaaahden, she asked the team for a Kevin Garnett shirt for her nephew, and complimented the Celtics Dancers on their outfits, we’re told.

Ellen Pompeo cheers on the Boston Celtics as they face off against the Los Angeles Lakers game on Friday at the TD Banknorth Garden in Boston, Massachusetts (Pompeo was born in MA). The Celtics beat out the Lakers 107-94.

The Grey’s Anatomy actress was accompanied by music producer husband Chris Ivery, Boston Celtics superfan Donnie Wahlberg and his wife Kim Fey (a singer Wahlberg met when she did session work for Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch).

'Grey's' Pompeo quietly ties knot in Big Apple

"Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo and Boston-bred music exec Chris Ivery got married on Friday at New York's City Hall, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg served as their witness. The couple got engaged a year ago while celebrating the actress's birthday. Pompeo, an Everett native, repeatedly professed that she and Ivery wouldn't go for the usual Hollywood hoopla, preferring a quiet wedding instead. And low-key it was. We're told a city clerk performed the minutes-long ceremony with only Bloomberg, a Medford native, and First Deputy Mayor Patti Harris accompanying the couple. "They are over the moon," Pompeo's spokesgal Jennifer Allen told us yesterday. The newlyweds were spotted courtside at the Knicks game Sunday night at Madison Square Garden. Pompeo was back in Hollywood yesterday filming "Grey's," which is expected to shut down soon because of the writers' strike.

'Grey's Anatomy' star Ellen Pompeo gets married
It was a McDreamy wedding for "Grey's Anatomy" star Ellen Pompeo, who quietly got hitched in City Hall last week - with Mayor Bloomberg as a witness.

Pompeo married music industry honcho Chris Ivery, 38, on Friday, her publicist and the mayor's office confirmed Wednesday.

"It was wonderful and small and intimate," spokeswoman Jennifer Allen said.

Only three people have been married in City Hall under Bloomberg: his daughter, Emma, actor Matt Damon and Pompeo.

Unlike previous mayors, Bloomberg doesn't regularly perform weddings. He married Emma in 2005 and former Mayor Rudy Giuliani at Gracie Mansion in 2003 - and has said he'd do it again only for his younger daughter, Georgina, or another ex-mayor.

Pompeo, who plays Dr. Meredith Grey on the hit TV show, didn't want any Hollywood splash.

She wore an Yves St. Laurent dress she pulled from her closet, and Deputy Mayor Patti Harris - a fan of the show - snapped pictures on a digital camera. Along with her boss, Harris was also an official witness. Bloomberg, who is from Medford, Mass., shares Boston roots with Pompeo, who grew up in nearby Everett, Mass. Ivery also is from Boston.

Sources said the rare City Hall ceremony was arranged by Harris, who met Pompeo, 38, at a TV event at Lincoln Center in May.

Most brides and grooms who get married at "City Hall" actually tie the knot across the street at the Municipal Building. The ceremony was held about 11:30 a.m. - just after Bloomberg's weekly radio show - in the mayor's plush ceremonial office, decorated with art on loan from the Studio Museum in Harlem.

"She just wanted it to be them, just the two of them," Allen said.

The couple met in a Los Angeles grocery store in 2003 and began dating about six months later, People magazine said.

Ellen Pompeo And Chris Ivery Pulled A Fast One
Grey’s Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo and her fiance Chris Ivery pulled a fast one on Friday, getting married in a secret ceremony held at New York’s City Hall. These pictures were taken on Sunday, two days after the couple were wed and Ellen did her best to hide her wedding ring.

The pair — who got engaged a year ago — wed Friday at 11:30 a.m. in a brief ceremony at New York’s City Hall, where Mayor Michael Bloomberg — a Massachusetts native like Pompeo, 38 — served as their witness, a Bloomberg rep tells Usmagazine.com.

I really hope this is becoming a Hollywood trend. I am so tired of getting woken up at 3AM on a Sunday morning or the weeks that go into planning a stakeout of some huge celebrity wedding.

Please, pull a Matt Damon and go to the court house, I can really use the sleep.

Ellen Pompeo -- Secretly Married!
Paging Dr. McLiar! TMZ caught up with Ellen Pompeo in NYC and asked her about her "upcoming" wedding to fiance Chris Ivery, to which she replied, "Soon!" How about "last Friday?!"

As reported by The Boston Globe, Ellen and Chris secretly tied the knot last Friday in a ceremonial office at New York City Hall, and Mayor Michael Bloomberg served as a witness. Talk about VIP!

The Mayor's rep said Bloomberg and Deputy Mayor Patti Harris were the two witnesses, and an official from the city clerk's office performed the ceremony.

Ellen Pompeo Quietly Weds in New York

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.

The mayor offered his best wishes to the couple and "a lifetime of happiness."

"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."

'Grey's Anatomy' cast visits picket line

2007-11-08T14:15:00.000-08:00

The cast of the top-rated medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" joined striking Hollywood writers on a picket line Wednesday and said they were shooting scenes for their last scripted episode.

Stars Patrick Dempsey, Ellen Pompeo, Sandra Oh and T.R. Knight, who plays Dr. George O'Malley, spent their lunch breaks outside the Prospect Studios, where "Grey's" is filmed.

"If the fans want to support the actors and the writers, do not download shows on the Internet," Ellen suggested. "Don’t watch them, because the writers aren't paid for them."

As for how much longer we'll get our Grey's fix, she explained: "Episode seven airs this week. So, we just have a few more left, and then there will be no new episodes of Grey’s Anatomy. I think everybody’s really worried. You know, the actors don’t have as much to worry about obviously, we’re very well compensated for what we do. It’s the crew that has a lot to worry about. This affects everybody, and they can’t afford to have four or five months off. It’s Christmas, they have mortgages."

"We're fighting the same fight," Sandra said, just before the cast's lunch hour came to an end and she was called back to set.

The Grey's stars will continue shooting until they complete episode 11 on Tuesday, then production is expected to shut down. The writers and show runners have been picketing and not working since Monday.

Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo is a big hit here and abroad, but what she and her fiancé adore most about their travels to Italy is the food.

"I go several times a year. Christopher [Ivery], my fiancé, has family there and we go spend time with them whenever we get a chance," she tells PEOPLE, adding they're planning another visit "very soon."

So what's her favorite thing about Italy? "The food. I love the area of Bologna for food. I think it's really special," she said.

Her top-rated ABC series Grey's Anatomy is also a big hit and Italian fans are taken aback when they see Pompeo in real life.

"They're quite surprised to see me there," Pompeo, who turns 38 next month, said at the National Italian American Foundation's 32nd Annual Gala in Washington, D.C. "They just can't believe I'm in Italy. It's sort of out of context for them. They say 'Meredith! Meredith! It's you, Meredith! Oh my God, could it be Meredith?' "

Less surprising is that she's no slouch when it comes to cooking Italian. Her fiancé loves her Bolognese sauce, she says of the dish that pays tribute to her favorite region.

Pompeo doesn't seem to be in a rush to get married despite having been engaged nearly a year. She still hasn't started on the plans, but has thought about the kind of wedding she wants – "a quiet, simple, private one."

Other honorees at Saturday's NIAF gala, where Pompeo received group's Special Award in Entertainment, were director Martin Scorsese, actress Connie Stevens, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Rudy Giuliani, and AARP chief William Novelli.

These days she's a big star, but Mr Silberling gave Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo her breakthrough role in Moonlight Mile alongside Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon in 2002. But Pompeo was so overwhelmed by her superstar castmates she struggled for the first couple of weeks.

"She came in and killed this audition because she never thought she would get the role, so she was so relaxed," Mr Silberling said.

"When she turned up to work that first week and half it was very hard going, because suddenly the imposter syndrome set in.

"She suddenly thought 'I'm here in a movie with Dustin Hoffman and Susan Sarandon and Holly Hunter', and you could literally see somebody falling out of their body.

"She needed those first two weeks to just believe that she belonged there.

"I don't know that Meredith Grey is capable of fun," Pompeo says with a giggle that turns into a slow groan. "All of our scenes are the same — we're either breaking up or having sex."

Pompeo herself, however, is clearly capable of having a good time. She returned home on Emmy night after midnight, puzzled by the number of children at the post-ceremony parties who approached her for photos and autographs. She obliged. "They're kids — you can't say no."

And she has big dreams: homes in several places, including the East Coast, Europe and Los Angeles, where she realizes all the work is.

"The great thing about when the show ends is that I'll have more freedom to travel," she says.

Her show connections already opened up some overseas opportunities. Over the summer, Pompeo and her fiancé, Christopher Ivery, visited Dempsey and wife Jill in London while he was shooting a film in Scotland.
