Ryan Gosling and Co-star Bianca Heat Up
Last time we ran into smoking hot (even while tubby!) Ryan Gosling, he told us that he'd been living with his Lars and the Real Girl co-star, Bianca, the blow-up sex doll. So, where was Bianca tonight? "She's at home, reading a book by the window," he told us when we ran into him on a cigarette break from a post-screening dinner at the Plaza Athénée. As he spoke, he rested his hand gently on our back. Well, well! Maybe things aren't so happy at home after all! We smiled adoringly at him. But leave it to Peggy Siegal to ruin our moment. "He's taking her to St. Barts with him," she interjected. "Do you know how much that doll costs? $10,000!" Gosling shushed his publicist. "Don't put a price on her," he said, removing his hand. Damn. So, does Ryan ever feel as shy as his character in the movie? "I feel pretty shy right now," he said, very un-shyly. So, uh, what does a real girl … like, a human one, have to do to try to steal his inanimate lover's place? "That would be implying that she is inanimate," Gosling warned sternly. Then he softened. "It's a very special relationship, but they're welcome to try." Victory! So should we — uh, they — stay, you know, pretty still? "I think at this point I could use the conversation. She's not the best conversationalist." —Amy Preiser Earlier: Ryan Gosling Keeps in Touch With His Co-star

It's Not That You're Too Fat, Ryan Gosling, It's That We Hate You
ThinkFilm chief Mark Urman says Ryan Gosling wasn’t too fat for the role in The Lovely Bones, but too young and hot. We'll buy that! “He gained weight for the role,” Urman said at the Cinema Society screening of Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead, confirming what was reported earlier this week. “There seem to have been genuine creative differences,” as we heard originally. “I have to say I think he is at least fifteen years too young for the role,” Urman insisted. His firm has worked with Gosling, distributing the movie Half Nelson. “We had a great run with Ryan last year,” he told us. “He is divinely gifted and actually the sweetest guy in the world, and I genuinely think that there was, uh, a real difference [of opinion] in how to play the role.” Wow, sounds like there was a smackdown! We wish we could have seen that, Peter Jackson and Ryan Gosling going at it on set, maybe mud-wrestling. It would be just like that scene in Airplane when the Girl Scouts start fighting. You know, but with more slapping. —Bennett Marcus Related: Ryan Gosling Left 'The Lovely Bones' Because He Was Too Fat?

Ryan Gosling Keeps in Touch With His Sex-Doll Co-star
Part of the reason people love Ryan Gosling is that it's possible to suspect that in real life, he's a little bit adorably weird, just like the characters he plays. That's why it was exciting to catch up with him at the premiere of Lars and the Real Girl last night and realize that it's true. The film's plot follows Lars (Gosling) as he falls in love with a sex doll. Gosling told us he was nervous to work with his inanimate co-star at the start of filming, because he imagined he would have to be acting for two people. "But then I met her," the Notebook star said. "She came to the read-through," he explained. "I couldn't stop staring at her. I was fascinated. She had all these beautiful freckles on her face. She was endlessly fascinating to me. I got excited about all of our scenes together." What a delightfully odd turn of events! So where did the doll end up after filming? "Well, uh," Gosling mumbled. "My house."—Jocelyn Guest
