Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, who very rarely step out together, went for a walk yesterday in New York proudly showing off their relationship!

The couple strolled hand-in-hand in NYC after enjoying lunch at Panya Bakery in the East Village.

The pair have been dating for 8 months now.

38-year-old Mendes slightly opened up about her relationship with USA Today Magazine.

“I’m feeling a little insecure because I can’t help but be super conscious of what I’m saying because I’m so protective,” Eva said, when asked about Ryan. “That’s the most precious thing to me. And I’m so protective and I just felt my guard go up.”

On Saturday, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes shocked fans when they hit Disneyland together, and publicly made out and held hands!

“They were very playful,” an observer tells Us. “Eva was skipping around like a little girl…She would lean into him and she held his arm the entire time.”

And the sexy twosome did Disneyland right — riding the Toy Story ride, the California Screamin’ rollercoaster, a Little Mermaid adventure and the ferris wheel, snacking on churros, cotton candy and corn on the cob. “She fed him,” the onlooker says.

Currently shooting The Place Beyond the Pines together, the stars “have been friends for a long time,” a source explains to Us. “There’s always been this strong chemistry between them…this was just a matter of time!”

“It hasn’t been a secret how excited Eva’s been to film with him, and she’s always joked with us about how gorgeous he is,” the source adds. “She’s never been shy about having the hots for him!”

US Weekly has pictures of their outing! SEE THE PICS HERE!

‘Black Swan’ dominated the Independent Spirit Awards last night. Best film, best director and best actress all went to the psychological thriller. Is that an indication of how tonight’s Oscars are going to go?

Could Natalie Portman be any cuter?

According the the NY Mag, the awards ceremony was held on the beach – and everyone absolutely FROZE.

The Film Independent Spirit Awards, held in a beachside tent Saturday during unusually cold Santa Monica weather, were dominated by wins by Black Swan. And for all the travails the nominated filmmakers might have experienced on the path here (lack of funding, last-minute casting, no trailers to protect Nicole Kidman from the paparazzi, as Rabbit Hole director John Cameron Mitchell told us), these troubles seemed overshadowed by the day’s frigid wind. When asked how it felt to win the Best Director award, Black Swan’s Darren Aronofsky said, “F’in cold.” The weather got lots of mentions during the telecast, hosted by Joel McHale, and even more attention as the shivering winners made their way to the billowy press tent. It was so cold that Natalie Portman was seen sporting not one, but two jackets over her knee-length, summer-y dress during the show. “I’m from New York, so I was expecting to come here like, ‘It’s bikini time,’” said Lena Dunham, a winner for Best First Screenplay for Tiny Furniture. “It’s not bikini time.”

Who’s excited for tonight!? I am!!
