Ryan Gosling at the premiere of his new movie “Lars and the Real Girl” at Toronto International Film Festival, 9/10.

Have you seen the trailer for “Lars and the Real Girl”?  NO? Well go here! Definitely looks good!

He is! He’s the lead singer of Dead Man’s Bones.  You can check them out on their myspace, plus hear their song “Dead Man’s Bone’s.”  Interesting music…I doubt I’m going to run out and buy the cd…but it’s interesting that Ryan’s singing the song.  I guess you can call it singing.  Check it out here.

What do you think: Is scruffy hot?

And WOW was it amazing.  

When Ted Crawford (Hopkins) discovers that his beautiful younger wife, Jennifer, is having an affair, he plans her murder. Among the cops arriving at the crime scene is hostage negotiator Detective Rob Nunally, the only officer permitted entry to the house. Surprisingly, Crawford readily admits to shooting his wife, but Nunally is too stunned to pay close attention when he recognizes his lover, whose true identity he never knew, lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Although Jennifer was shot at point blank range, Nunally realizes she isn’t dead. Crawford is immediately arrested and arraigned after confessing–a seemingly slam-dunk case for hot shot assistant district attorney Willy Beachum (Gosling). But nothing is as simple as it seems, including this case. In a tense duel of intellect and strategy, Crawford and Willy both learn that a “fracture” can be found in every ostensibly perfect façade.

Fracture was a great movie.  Ryan Gosling is H-O-T HOT.  Anthony Hopkins is - well, there are no words.  Who compares to Anthony Hopkins?  I love it when he plays an evil character (fava beans, anyone?) I seem to buy it more than Mr. Niceguy. 

The chemistry between Ryan and Anthony is great.  The movie is so well written - and so well directed.  This is a great departure for me -the last two movies I saw I absolutely HATED.  (They were Halle Berry’s “Perfect Stranger” and Sandra Bullock’s “Premonition”)

I give it two thumbs up… a must see! 

Even though last week it was announced (through sources) that Ryan and Rachel were engaged - it’s looking like that might not be the case this week.

“It’s a break, not a breakup,” says one source, who adds that while McAdams is very dependent on Gosling, the recent Oscar nominee wants some distance so he can focus on his sizzling career.

“It’s a pivotal moment for him,” says the insider.

Still, McAdams “is taking it really hard because Ryan is everything to her,” says a source.

A third insider, who says the pair split several weeks ago, adds, “Ryan was in love with her, but it didn’t work out because of their conflicting work schedules.”

Says the pal, “They’re both miserable. Hopefully they’ll get back together soon.”

Rachel’s rep is denying the story…so here’s to hoping this isn’t true!

I think that’s his sister that he’s with…he usually takes her to his premieres/award shows.
