Eva Mendes Gets Giggly over Ryan Gosling with Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres didn't try to get an official dating confirmation out of Eva Mendes, but she was able to link her and apparent beau Ryan Gosling together by one simple thread – pajamas.

Showing a clip of Gosling, 31, working out in onesie PJs on a recent episode of DeGeneres's show Ellen, the host points out that Mendes, 38, is also a big fan of the relaxing nightwear.

"I don't know if you ever run into him, if you know him in any way, or see him ever," DeGeneres jokingly told Mendes on her show, suggesting she should ask him about the pajamas.

Emma Stone Compares Kissing Ryan Gosling to Andrew Garfield

Originally posted 04/04/2012 12:10PM

In last year's Crazy Stupid Love, Emma Stone's character prepped for a kissing scene with Ryan Gosling with the memorable line, "It's like you're Photoshopped!"

So how did making out with Gosling, 31, measure up to Stone's love scenes with Andrew Garfield, 28, her real-life boyfriend and costar in the upcoming The Amazing Spider-Man?

"Apples and oranges, you know," Stone, 23, coyly told Ellen DeGeneres on Wednesday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show, when asked which one was the better kisser.

POLL: Who Should Play Christian in the Fifty Shades of Grey Movie? | Alex Pettyfer, Chris Pine, Henry Cavill, Kellan Lutz, Ryan Gosling

Fifty Shades of Grey: Who Should Play Christian Grey?

Originally posted 03/29/2012 01:45PM

E L James may be a self-professed "control freak" about the process of bringing her erotic trilogy to movie theaters. But the author may want to take note of her rabid fan base – and just which actor they envision on the big screen.

The not-safe-for-work novel Fifty Shades of Grey is sitting pretty atop multiple best-seller lists, and women everywhere are talking about its protagonist, Anastasia Steele, and her troubled, controlling man, 27-year-old multi-millionaire Christian Grey. And after a Da Vinci Code-esque bidding war, Universal Studios and Focus Features came out on top and will release the film adaptation.

While Christian Bale (circa American Psycho) and Michael Fassbender (of Shame fame) immediately come to mind (as do Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson, for obvious reasons), PEOPLE.com readers – and our staff! – also had plenty of suggestions.

Which actor could best embody the young and "very attractive," tall, finely dressed character with "unruly dark-copper-colored hair and intense, bright gray eyes"?

Ryan Gosling Gets Bloodied in Thailand

Originally posted 03/27/2012 12:25PM

Ryan Gosling fans need not worry: He's expected to make a full recovery.

The blood and bruises, after all, are costuming touches for his latest film Only God Forgives, which he is currently filing in Bangkok, Thailand.

Looking a little rougher than usual, Eva Mendes's main squeeze (since their Disneyland date last September) sported a blood-stained business-casual ensemble (and a brooding stare) on Monday. Even wearing what seems to be a prosthetic nose, Gosling, 31, brings on the sex appeal (much like he does when he is grocery shopping, cuddling dogs and walking around barefoot).

Just like Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling's fairytale Disneyland dates, working together on The Place Beyond the Pines was also a fantasy come true for the happy couple.

"He's your dream costar," Mendes, 37, tells Marie Claire in its March issue. "I have never felt so creatively satisfied on a film. He's amazing."

The year's Film Independent Spirit Awards promises plenty of star wattage: nominee Jessica Chastain and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, who stars in the best feature nominee, 50/50, will present at the show.

The ceremony, held the day before the Academy Awards in a tent on the beach in Santa Monica, Calif., will also include appearances by Bryan Cranston, Elizabeth Banks and Ewan McGregor, who will also present awards on the show.

Among this year's crop of nominees: Michelle Williams, who also scored an Oscar nomination for My Week with Marilyn, for best female lead; and Ryan Gosling, who some say was snubbed at the Oscars, is up for best male lead for Drive.

Chastain, meanwhile, is up for best supporting female for Take Shelter.

Best feature nominees include: 50/50, Beginners, Drive, Take Shelter, The Artist and The Descendants.
