Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling have been dating for about six months now, after falling in love on the set of their film “The Place Beyond the Pines”. In the new issue of Marie Claire, Eva opens up about dating Ryan, and calls her boyfriend “a dream”.

The 37-year-old actress told the magazine, “He’s your dream costar. I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film.”

She also opened up about her body image. “It doesn’t matter what you have or what you look like. It’s something everyone has to work at. I realize I have contributed to a certain happy, healthy, empowered image, but that’s not all of me,” she says.

“I feel it’s important to let women know that I have similar struggles. What I tell girls is what they don’t like about themselves now, they will probably end up loving as an adult, because that’s what happened to me. When I am complimented on things that I didn’t like when I was 13, like my overbite and my mole, that’s when you realize that your imperfections are why people love you.”

As well as gushing about her boyfriend, Mendes also coos about her two biggest Hollywood idols, Julianne Moore and Annette Bening.
“I have a girl crush on them. I’d kill to have half the careers they’ve had after 40,” she says.

Wonder what role he’s beefing up for now?

Everyone’s proclaiming 2011 as The Year Of Ryan Gosling, and I couldn’t agree more. Dude was in every movie, covered every magazine, and when he lost to Bradley Cooper as People’s Sexiest Man Alive there was a fanatical outpouring or internet rage. And he’s dating Eva Mendes. What more could a guy want?

Here he is pictured leaving  a gym yesterday. Could he be preparing for a new boxing movie? Let’s hope so.

Shortly after being nominated for two Golden Globes, Ryan Gosling is wrapping up 2011 with a hilarious new Funny or Die video.

The “Ides of March,” “Crazy, Stupid, Love.” and “Drive” star features in an egg nog-filled rendition of Funny or Die’s “Drunk History,” mouthing the words of a delightfully drunk narrator who is reading “The Night Before Christmas.” Seeing Gosling in long pajamas and a sleeping cap is funny enough — the guy really refuses to take himself seriously, to his vast credit — but the lady in bed next to him really makes the headlines.

With her eyes closed but a smile on her face, Eva Mendes looks happy as a bundled up kid on Christmas Eve. And if rumors are true — and this video either spoofs on them or confirms them — she’s had an extended most wonderful time of the year. Gosling and Mendes are rumored to be dating, a suspicion that was amped up when Gosling visited Mendes while she was filming a movie in France in November.

The video moves beyond the gossip once Jim Carrey, as Santa Claus, shows up, and all in all, it’s an early gift from Time’s Coolest Person of the Year.

The thing that makes this video so stinking hilarious is the fact that the narrator actually IS drunk. Hilarious!

Ryan Gosling was spotted on the set of his new period piece, ‘Gangster Squad’ in Los Angeles last night. The movie is reportedly about a chronicle of the LAPD’s fight to keep East Coast Mafia types out of Los Angeles in the 1940s and 50s. Ryan stars alongside Emma Stone (his ‘Crazy Stupid Love’ costar), Sean Penn, Josh Brolin, Nick Nolte and Giovanni Ribisi.

I only need to look at these pictures to know I like this movie already. *wink*

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes are still going strong! The couple started dating back in September (according to some reports) when they worked together on a film. Shortly after, Ryan took Eva to Disneyland, which he calls one of his favorite places. Looks like the two have gotten even more serious, because they spent the Thanksgiving holiday in Paris! Eva is in Paris filming ‘Holly Motors’, and Ryan flew out to spend the holiday weekend with her. More from US Weekly:

Ryan Gosling sure knows how to make a girl feel special! The 31-year-old actor surprised love of two months Eva Mendes on the set of Holly Motors in Paris, France Friday, two insiders confirm to Us Weekly.

“Ryan flew out to be with Eva as soon as she wrapped Holly Motors,” one source says. “The film was a fairly small production and Eva was good about being focused and without many distractions on set.”

A second insider adds that Mendes, 37, “was totally shocked” when Gosling showed up unannounced.

“They were talking all the time so she had no hints that he was coming,” the second insider tells Us. “She was really homesick and missed him, even though she practically just left to shoot!”

The following day, the paramours snuck in a few kisses while strolling arm-in-arm through Pere Lachaise cemetery. The Beyond the Pines costars first began dating in September.

Gosling’s exes include Rachel McAdams, Sandra Bullock and Kirsten Dunst. Mendes quietly ended her long-term relationship with producer George Gargurevich over the summer.

I think they make a cute couple – even if it is a little boring. I don’t know I think Ryan is so cute – and Eva just seems too mature for him.

They do look hot, though. I’ll give them that!
