Patrick Dempsey – a.k.a. Dr. McDreamy – appears to be trying to become Dr. McHunky. Dempsey has been spotted working out feverishly at the no-frills Easton gym on Beverly Boulevard, according to janetchalrtonshollywood.com. Working with a trainer, the “Grey’s Anatomy” star does cardio and lifts weights for two or three hours every afternoon.

René Syler, former “Early Show” co-anchor, explains in her new book, “Good-Enough Mother” and in an appearance on “The Oprah Winfrey Show” about her “double whammy.” In December, Syler was dropped from the CBS morning program, coming just before she planned to undergo a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy on Jan. 9. Syler, 44, had her breasts removed – even though she didn’t have cancer. Syler had a precancerous condition called hyperplasia with atypia. Both her mother and father had had breast cancer, and her doctor said there was a 40 percent chance that she would be stricken. Syler’s story and part of her digital video diary will be shown on Thursday’s “Oprah.”
