So it turns out these two weren’t visiting Disneyland together last summer as just friends. Yes, I remember that these two visited Disneyland together last summer.

They rode the Toy Story 4D Mania ride and Ryan Gosling wore a red flannel. I’m like the Rain Man of celebrity gossip. ‘13 procedures. Heidi Montag definitely had 13 plastic surgery procedures.’

Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling haven’t officially come out of the dating closet, but they’re getting close.
Bust out your Kleenex and popcorn, Eva Mendes stars in new flick "Girl In Progress" that looks to be equal parts heartwarming and hilarious in this new mother-daughter coming of age flick.

The film follows the story of Eva Mendes, who plays a mother that has lost her way. She got pregnant at 17 and now that she has a 17-year-old daughter of her own, she's acting more like her daughters flaky friend than her mother.

Uggh, it's getting so serious between Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes. He just introduced her to his mom. I can't even finish writing this article on account of, I am crying so hard right now!

Proving that Ryan Gosling is pretty much officially off the market, he took his mom and his girlfriend out to the movies in New York over the weekend.
Let me start off with a question: What do you think of when you hear the name Ryan Gosling? Let me follow up that question with an answer: Drunk at Christmas. Ryan Gosling makes me think of being drunk at Christmas. Keep reading.

If you've never seen or heard of the "Drunk History" videos from the Funny or Die team, set aside about 24 hours of your life and get yourself educated.

Quickly in a nutshell, "Drunk History" is this video series which features a comedian getting drunk and re-telling famous events in history, while celebrity guests (Ohhh ahhh) re-inact the scene as described by the drunk person. Hilarity ensues.

There are a lot of celebs who make their drug and alcohol problems public. Sometimes, very public (cough* Charlie Sheen *cough). We're all morbidly intrigued with stars like Lindsay Lohan and Mel Gibson, who gradually become drugged-up messes in the middle of a meltdown.

Sometimes these celebs get over their issues, and sometimes they show up to a red carpet event with rotting teeth.

Other celebrities work hard to keep their addictions in check. They quietly enter rehab, quietly recover, and then get right back into the spotlight. Here are some celebs we didn't know were recovering addicts.

Daniel Radcliffe: When the Harry Potter star recently revealed his sobriety, we had no idea he'd had a problem. "I became so reliant on alcohol to enjoy stuff," he said. "There were a few years there when I was just so enamored with the idea of living some sort of famous person’s lifestyle that really isn’t suited to me."

Hollywood is really just a fancy version of speed dating. A-Listers date each other, break-up and then just date another A-Lister. So why can't we play matchmaker for them? Here are the single celebs that we think should date each other.

Blake Lively and Bradley Cooper: Blake Lively and Leonardo DiCaprio have finally split up, putting them both back on the market and I'm surprised Blake Lively hasn't dated Bradley Cooper already. Oh that's right, she was "dating" that third arm known as Penn Badgley for like ever. Now that Blake dated Leo that was kind of her introduction into dating A-Listers, so Bradley Cooper is the next logical step. He's dated everyone else, so why not date Blake?

Marc Anthony and Eva Mendes: Marc Anthony is heartbroken and newly single after his divorce from J.Lo and we know he likes Latin women, so why not get back at his ex by dating super hot Eva Mendes? Eva went on a "date" with Ryan Gosling, but I'm sure it wasn't anything serious, besides she dates randos like SNL actor Jason Sudeikis, so Marc Anthony is better than the next guy. If they got together it would probably end up being a fling anyways, so why the hell not?
Because there’s nothing more romantic than waiting in line for an hour and almost dying of heat stroke. Just kidding, celebs don’t wait in line.

On Saturday, Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes spent some time at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. And yes, they packed on the PDA in the Magic Kingdom.

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

Is it just me, or has Ryan Gosling become a total ladies’ man ever since his breakup with Rachel McAdams? I wouldn’t be surprised if he went on a Disney princess-banging spree while he was there.

Turning sixteen is fun in many ways, but it's also a dreadful time. No longer are you a free-spirited, fun-loving kid ready to enjoy three months of doing nothing.

At sixteen, you're desperate for a car, or money, or your parents just want you out of the house. Inevitably, you have to get a job.

And for some of us, all child labor laws are out the window, and the working world rears its ugly head much sooner. These celebrities might be superstars now, but their beginnings were much more humble.
There must be something about Jason Sudeikis, because after breaking up with January Jones, he’s now linked to another beauty—Eva Mendes. Maybe “I like a guy who makes me laugh” isn’t just something hot women say to sound like they have personalities.

The New York Post is reporting that Mendes and SNL star Jason Sudeikis are dating and have been spotted on a few excursions.
There are certain things that Eva Mendes will do. She will tattoo ‘Team Jacob Forever’ on her face. She is not “willing to die” for her crazy stalker.

Eva Mendes has been harassed since 2008 by a New York man named John C. Luna and when he showed up at her Los Angeles house in May, that was the last straw.

Mendes has been granted a restraining order against the alleged stalker.
