Ryan Gosling is the cover for GQ’s January 2011 issue.

The Blue Valentine actor has always been a little off-kilter in his career choices. After starting out on the Mickey Mouse Club with the likes of Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera, Gosling has chosen his own path with quirky indie films like Lars and the Real Girl and Half Nelson. Not that he hasn’t chosen some main steam material – The Notebook, in particular. It’s that he is completely behind the part, regardless of the box office demands. He chooses films that he can relate to for their soul.

It should come as no surprise that Gosling compares his love of Walt Disney World to the spirit behind Blue Velvet. Commercial and indie embraced by a common thread. Gosling tells GQ:

“I loved the idea that Walt Disney had this dream of a place and then made it a reality,” the actor, 30, says. “It’s the same way I felt when I saw ‘Blue Velvet.’ It’s so clearly one person’s singular dream. The fact that somebody believed in their idea so much to make it a reality … I want to be that kind of person.”

Gosling is one of a kind and still seems charmed by the ideals in life.

His latest, Blue Valentine will hit (limited) theaters on December 31st and go to more screens in January 2011.

Blue Valentine held it’s New York premiere on Tuesday night (December 7th) at the Museum of Modern Art and the lead actors took the blue carpet for the film’s debut. Michelle Williams was radiant in a short Azzaro dress and Ryan Gosling was gorgeous in his velvet suit jacket – no surprises there.

Blue Valentine is garnering lots of talk, whether it’s for the performances (Oscar buzz!) or the NC-17 rating that the MPAA has given (and studio head Harvey Weinstein is personally appealing to get changed to an R,) Gosling and Williams are defintely a magic combination.

Lots of photos of Williams and Gosling are below. (Read the article)

Thursday night, Ryan Gosling was headed out of Bardot in Los Angeles when he was met by a plethora of women.  I can’t imagine why the ladies would want to smother Ryan and his sexy motorcycle??

Being the sweetheart that he is, Ryan took the time to pose with his fans and sign some autographs.  I am thinking that ever since The Notebook came out, all women see Ryan Gosling like his character in the movie and well, we all just want a piece of that!

I think one of my favorite couples is Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams, and not just because they are both Canadian like me either. I loved The Notebook and I think it’s awesome that they actually fell in love in that movie. And now that the couple just split up again in November sources say that Ryan is having a hard time getting over Rachel.

A source said: “Ryan is still close to the McAdams family and he still speaks to Rachel, but they are both openly single. He still loves Rachel, and she still loves him, but the timing is off and they can’t make each other happy right now.”

I know that they say they keep on breaking up because they get too busy for each other. I love the two of them and I hope that they can work it out. Ryan is said to be busy anyways…

“Ryan is completely focused on putting out his album. He is spending a lot of time in the recording studio.”

Now, I know when I first heard that he was singing it surprised me…but then I remembered, he was on The New Mickey Mouse Club with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera and he sang on that show all the time. It should be interesting to hear what his voice sounds like now.

My two favorite Canadians, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams are back together, a source confirms.

“They’ve been talking a lot,” a source [says]. “Their friends are quite pleased that they’re getting back together and are trying to give them space.”

I am so happy for the two of them…now I can watch The Notebook again without crying over them not being together.

“Crying Men” is a series of photos that was shot by Sam Taylor-Wood to show what it looks like when Hollywood men cry.

Taylor-Wood explains, “Some of the men cried before I even finished loading the camera, but others found it really difficult. People can decide for themselves which they think are the authentic tears and which they think are fake. It’s about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side.”

The portraits include many men…but I just picked my favorites from the bunch. Ryan Gosling, Hayden Christensen, Daniel Craig and Jude Law. There is nothing sexier than seeing a man cry.

Kirsten Dunst has come clean on why she went to rehab in February, and it wasn’t for substance abuse like we first thought. It was for depression.

“I didn’t go to Cirque Lodge for alcohol abuse or drug abuse,” she [says]. “I went there for depression.”

“I was struggling, and I had the opportunity to go somewhere and take care of myself,� she says. �I was fortunate to have the resources to do it. My friends and family thought it was a good idea, too, but I didn’t know where to go. My doctor recommended Cirque Lodge.”

“There’s been a lot of misrepresentation about what is going on in my life, and it’s been very painful for my friends and family,” she explains. “Everyone feels like they have to defend me. They hear the rumors, and it puts them in a defensive position. Now that I’m feeling stronger, I was prepared to say something.”

She also clears up the rumor of her dating Ryan Gosling too…

“I am not dating Ryan Gosling,” she says.

I am really glad that Kirsten came forward with the depression, that does take courage. I really didn’t like to think of her as someone that had an addiction with a substance.
