Two thirds of the most dynamic trio of 2006 — Matthew McConaughey and Lance Armstrong — reunited last night at a screening of CNN's Planet in Peril at Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. I hope Jakey G. didn't feel too left out! Speaking of, whatever happened to those bike trips? I certainly miss them. Anderson Cooper was also there for the event, looking suave and dapper as always. The man just does not have an off day. Fresh off his shared People cover, MM was definitely working his sexy eyes at the camera, but there was no Camila on his arm to share in the man-tastic fun.
Lindsay Lohan may have left her boy Riley back in Utah, but that doesn't mean she's not having any long distance drama. In case you missed it, there have been some pretty shady stories surfacing regarding Riley and his ex fiancée. We know Linds loves those bad boys, but we want to know — do you think her new boy is bad news?
We got Ryan Gosling's hot GQ cover and equal parts heartbreaking/heartwarming highlight quote yesterday, but now here's more from the swoon-worthy photoshoot and his delightfully quirky interview. Sigh, yes, moving on from the Ryan/Rachel break-up confirmation so many Notebook devotees dreaded. I do recommend that you read the whole article — especially the part about his famously lewd dance that made him famous (The Move), but after taking in the handsome pics, there are some great quotes. Here are highlights:
On his career decisions:“I’ve had actors that I really respect tell me, ‘You’ve gotta surf-and-turf it in this town. One for them and one for you.’ That’s not true. It’s really three for them and one for you. And not only that—if you do three for them, you’ve set a precedent. Any way you point yourself is where you’re gonna go. If you point yourself in that direction, it’s hard to ever come back....Being an actor is like being a cat burglar. You try to get in and out without being noticed. As soon as you get famous, it’s like you’ve got a marching band with you every time you walk out of the house. And it’s harder to make people believe you as a character. And your work goes downhill.”
Okay, fine, more on Rachel: “The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin’ and we called it a draw...Women are mad at me,” Gosling says with a rueful smile. “A girl came up to me on the street and she almost smacked me. Like, ‘How could you? How could you let a girl like that go?’ I feel like I want to give people hugs, they seem so sad. Rachel and I should be the ones getting hugs! Instead, we’re consoling everybody else.”
On Lars and the Real Girl: “I cried at the end, when I read it,” Gosling says. “I just thought it was so romantic—the idea that you don’t need to be loved in return in order to love something or someone. Love can come from you. It doesn’t have to be reciprocal. People love their cars. People love all kinds of things, and they really love them. And we don’t really value that kind of love because it’s not a real, reciprocal kind of love, but it’s real love to them.”
Kind of like how we love Ryan and Rachel together? Kidding, kidding, letting it go. Lars doesn't come out until next week, but I can't wait to see him in what looks like an incredible role. Oh, and I'll definitely take an IOU from him on that consoling hug, wink.
Matt Damon showed off his killer smile at a photocall for The Bourne Ultimatum in Japan today. The mayhem may have died down here in the states, but clearly the movie is still going strong overseas. Back in August you guys said that you wanted to see a 4th Bourne movie and apparently Matt agrees! During his stint in Tokyo, he talked about his feelings about Jason Bourne and the possibility of not putting the character to rest just yet, saying,
"Personally, the character means a lot to me because the character has done so much for my career. You know, it put me in the position where I have a lot more choices of kind of movies I want to make. If [director] Paul Greengrass, maybe years down the road, was interested in doing another one, then I would do it, too. I don't think either of us completely put the character to bed yet."
We probably don't need to tell you how much we'd like to see another Bourne movie. Plus, after the huge success after the last film, it might not be such a bad idea for Matt either.
Talk about Adorable Alert: Code Red at last night's party celebrating the arrival of Christian Louboutin at the LA Saks. Christian himself was there for the soiree along with some of his biggest starlet followers. Bilson, Hayden, Minka and Kristen were among the girls in their finest red-soled stilettos for the event. Lucky girls with their gorgeous shoes. Speaking of those Hero-ic ladies, don't miss Buzz's chat with the ever-endearing Kristen Bell! Loub devotee Ashley was there without her twin, but with her hot studded boots again. Oh, and I'm just going to go on believing that she borrowed the leather jacket off someone much larger than she is because she was cold on the red carpet. Trying to be optimistic here. Well, outside that all the girls looked fab (and how jealous am I if they got to pick up some of the hot shoes).
Jenna Dewan walked down the street in Beverly Hills looking extremely chic and poised. Her structured white blazer framed her body perfectly, and paired well over her draped fringe Haute Hippie halter, denim leggings, and over-the-knee brown boots.
