Over the past few months, the tabloids have really been pushing the “Eva Mendes is now BFFs with Ryan Gosling’s mother” stories. Ryan’s mom Donna and Eva have met several times, and according to Eva’s publicist’s tabloid plants, they get along really well. I do suspect that Donna is probably fine with Eva – after all, Ryan brought Eva to his mom’s college graduation, and I don’t think he would have done that without knowing for sure that the two ladies are friendly. Of course, I can’t help but think that Eva might be working the mom to ensure that Ryan stays close. Does that make sense? You know what I mean. Every woman knows what I mean. Is Eva working Donna?
After nine months of dating, Eva Mendes is ready to take things to the next level with beau Ryan Gosling.
“She starting to think about marriage and kids,” says a Mendes pal. “She loves serious relationships, and she wants all of that.”
Luckily, Eva has an ally in Gosling’s mom, Donna, who is just as eager to see her son settle down. “Eva hit it off with Donna immediately,” explains the insider. “Now they text and email all the time!” So, naturally, when the actor went to Ontoario to watch his mom graduate from Brock University on June 6, Mendes was by his side.
Says the pal, “Eva and Donna just get along really, really well.”

THAT is what I mean. Using the mom to get a son to commit. Dropping hints to the mom that grandchildren could be on the way if only Gosling would get it together and just commit. What I come away with is the idea that Eva is playing for keeps – she’s in it to win it. And it wouldn’t surprise me at all if she got pregnant. As for Ryan – he seems fine with it, I guess. I’m not going ascribe “victim of a villainess’s plot” status. He’s a big boy. He knows what he’s doing. Apparently, he just really digs Eva.

Yeah I can’t see her being a mom. I thought I read somewhere she wasn’t interested in marriage/kids but who knows.
Yes, why is everyone trying to act like this girl is Betty Draper? She has never indicated those preferences, rather only the opposite, and was with her ex for years and years without marrying him/having children.
It seems pretty reductive to act like all women are one type, they just need to find the ‘right man’ to make them domestic and broody.
Tiffany, stop riding the Gosling train — he’s not worth it. Just give up already and come over here…to the dark side.
Everybody already knows we have cookies. And chocolates, we also have chocolates:

I’m not on the Gosling train. I got off long before Mendes came into the picture. I’m simply stating I can’t see her being mom. That is all.
I currently am on the “Everyone who was in The Avengers” train thank you very much hahaha.

You sounded so serious here…:(
Well Im still on board TrainGos. So shoot me. I just cant help it after I see Crazy Stupid Love..or even..Heaven forbid..the Notebook or Remember the Titans. His charming seductive ways have been etched in my brain for so long, I have a lifetime pass on that train.
Oh no Eve I wasn’t so serious!!
A douche with a guitar and hipster pants will never come between us 🙂
@ Emma:
I’m not going to shoot you! It’s your loss if you don’t want the fresh baked cookies we have here.
@ Tiffany:
Phew!
Hiddles and Ruffalo, call me in on the Avengers train, along with the others
Renner, Hemsworth, Evans and ….. RDJ!
😉
Kaiser, I think you should post more on them!
Yes. The Avengers. Every day. All of them. Especially Hiddleston and Renner.
Eve, I see your comments on Pajiba too and I crack up every time lol.
@Peach Dancer
Agreed!! Every single one of them could get it. I’m on that train…… And would partake train like activities with those dudes…. Too far?
Girls, we might want to jump out of this particular train though:

@ Lyssie89 (you’re born in 1989? If so, I kinda hate you):
I don’t post more often there because I already spend A WAAAAAY too much time here on Celebitchy and because I’m still not used to their format — that whole “arrows up and down” thing is kind of annoying, too. For instance, I accidentally voted down a comment while trying to figure out what the hell was that arrow thingy.
@Eve
AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! Is that story for real? Someone commented there that it wouldn’t be his first time catching a souvenir after some shenanigans.
@ Tiffany:
I don’t know…but it does seem legit, non? I have the sads now 😥 .
@Eve
Ugh. Me too! Like I don’t mind the man whoring. You can do whatever you want when you’re single, but dude put on a condom!! Protect your sexy time parts.
@ Tiffany:
I totally agree with you.
I swear, whenever the football (soccer) team I root for wins, something annoying/disappointing /bad happens next — it’s like a “universal compensation law for things Eve likes” or something.
Yesterday I was surprised by my favourite team’s victory over a traditional rival for the South American championship…and today I find out Chris Evans may have a very nasty STD and Johnny Depp might have boned his co-star.
@Eve
The exact same thing always happens to me too!!! As soon as I start to really like someone, I find out something horrible about them. First the guy at my job who I’ve crushed on for months had to quit yesterday because there’s a warrant out for his arrest!!! And now Chris Evans has a burning penis! It’s like once I say it out loud I find out something bad.
there better be punch served with the cookies cause I just had to jump off the Evans train and that was a far fall. Have never gotten the appeal of Gosling though..
@ Marie:
A punch made out of tropical fruits, how about that? We have SEVEN kinds of mango here in Brazil, for instance.
@Eve:
Don’t hate me because I’m young!
And while the arrows are frustrating, I’m coming around to the new system. I like being able to reply. Oh well.
I think I am officially off the Gosling train now. This complete turnaround he did over this last year really rubbed me the wrong way. He’s changed, and not in a good way. I think he’s more of a jerk and a famewh*re than most people realize. I’m coming to the dark side!
@ Dove:
And you’re welcome! 🙂
By the way, is that you, Turtle Dove?
@ Lyssie89:
I said I kinda hated you. But you know, it’s totally jealousy.
@ Tiffany:
Hey, that first story was taken down!!! What do you think? Now there’s only the blind item.
Hmmmm…
Nope, I’m a different Dove 🙂
Former fan of Gosling. Now I just don’t care about him anymore. He’s gone Hollywood now, and there’s no turning back.
@ Dove:
I had to ask because I once invited poster “Turtle Dove” to the dark side.
Anyway, you’re welcome here 🙂 .
Thanks for the warm welcome, Eve 🙂
Wasn’t there some pretty juicy, smutty dirt going around about Gosling just before he hooked up with Mendes? Not very flattering stuff, if I remember correctly. People seem to have forgotten all about that.
@Eve
I think they took it down because they actually named him and threatened a lawsuit or something like that. I really, really hope it’s not true though.
I happened to come across some dirt on Gosling from a few years ago. I never thought he was perfect. This is from the comments on a BlindGossip post from 2009:
“I have had the unfortunate luck to hang out with gosling recently. dude is a psycho and a drug addict. i’m sure mcadams is at least slightly more tolerable than him, and any rational human would dump his sorry ass, mama complex or not.
i think he’s on heroin btw or serious pills, judging from his bevahior the night we spent time together.
“The night before i met him, a friend of mine told me over drinks that there are two actors in hollywood who NO ONE will hire. ryan gosling and winona ryder. then i met gosling the next night and found out that it was probably true. do you realize what you have to do to be blacklisted in hollywood? basically one thing. heroin.
PS- he was hanging with his bandmate (yeah, apparently gosling is in an indie band *gag*) zach, zachs horrible * of a girlfriend lisa (recently relocated to el lay from canada), some overweight behind the scenes type named chris, and another recognizable actor who introduced himself to me as steve, but i cant place him! any help would rule! this has been bothering me for a few weeks.”
If that story is true, maybe him and Eva are each other’s sober minders? LOL
@ Tiffany:
I thought it was that too. Anyway, the way the story was written — they didn’t even use the word “allegedly” — was opportunistic (June 13, when the story was originally posted, is Evans’s birthday) and downright malicious, whether it’s true or not.
This couple……both are so….ugh
Call me a cynic, but Ryan’s a hot guy, and he’s going to continue to have hot co-stars, and Mama Gosling isn’t going to be there to remind him not to indulge. I’m sure Eva thinks she’s going to keep him on a short leash, but I don’t see happily ever after for her.
+1
I reckon ryan will bolt once eva gets that little bit older and he realises that people don’t stay hot forever. Is she 41 now? Or 30-wotsit? I’m losing track to be perfectly honest.
I know Ryan is publicised as essentially being his notebook character and he has a dog so in my book he can’t be all bad. But I’ve always thought there’s something else to him so I wouldn’t put it past him trading in for a younger model, God knows we’ve seen it happen before. Feeling cynical today ^^
Don’t cave Ryan…there are plenty of girls out there that you can take to Disneyland!
and you are one of them?
As if!!
If his mom really likes her, I’m stumped. Wasn’t she supposed to not get along well with Rachel? I mean even a blind one can see Rachel’s a nice girl and Eva’s not!
In my experience Moms tend to change their opinions about who you date as you get older and their desire for grandkids increases….
Oh my god, you are right! She’s probably pretty desperate and because of that fine with his choice!
I know next to nothing about Eva. She has been around forever, but no one cared about her until now. She’s getting a lot out of this relationship publicity wise, that’s for sure. I read something the other day that called her A-list. A-list? Errr, what? It’s like Katie Holmes being called A-list. It’s such a joke.
Eva doesn’t really have much of a career and most only talk of her hot body marrying Ryan Gosling would be her best career move ever. Not that I think Ryan who looks nothing but miserable with her want’s too. He will dump her as soon as their movie opens and Eva will have to try and hook someone else. She must really have a taste of all this attention a real A lister get’s and a coffee addiction as well by now. Eva has said she doesn’t want children or marriage but she does love publicity and seeing her name in print.
Let’s hope she won’t treat her kids like she’s treating her dog…
Kaiser-I love how you say that you wouldn’t be surprised if she gets pregnant. Perfect inflammatory words for the Gosling fan base.
Yeah I mean…I don’t know if it’s as sinister as her “working” the mom. Don’t we all do things to ingratiate ourselves to our significant other’s momz? It’s not necessarily so manipulative, more just polite social norms.
Totally agree.
Funny fact: I kept clicking on your comment, you know…when we want to edit it (with the intent of replying to you). After three clicks I realized what I was doing. Don’t laugh.
Sorry Eve, I couldn’t help but laugh at that… mostly because it is something I would do. 🙂
Nothing beats the one occasion where I stared at a drugstore shelf, searching for alcohol gel (for minutes straight!!!) without realizing that that was the shelf for lubricants.
The irony of it all is that, in order to have a better look at the labels, I leaned forward…
HA, Eve! That is awesome. It’s sort of like when you spend 20 minutes searching for your housekeys only to discover you’re holding them in your hand. Or am I the only one that does that? I’ve been known to smoke the Happy Stuff so who knows? 😉
@ Kitten:
No worries. I don’t smoke the “funny stuff” (gotta love euphemisms for pot) and that happens to me as well.
Not only with housekeys, but with my cell phone and the chopstick I use to tie my hair in a bun.
*rolling my eyes at myself*
“Happy stuff”, not “funny stuff”.
In public places I’ve been known to nervously ask my husband “where is (insert child’s name)?!” while I an actually holding that child’s hand.
@ Mia Girl:
When it comes to children in public places, it’s always better be safe than sorry.
I think Mendes wants to get rid of her bad image, and the more she does mention Gosling’s mom the more she thinks she can improve it. US weekly is a PR camp, right. Why would you talk about private stuff like that in a mag anyway. Although there are pics of the two hugging at Toronto airport, so they may not hate each other. I am not sure though if I would want my son get married to a 10 year older woman, who is an ex coke head and has a stinky attitude.
I really do not get the intense dislike for this woman or the scrutinization of her relationship with an ADULT MALE. In my opinion, and based on many comments I have read, I think SOME people, mainly women, are displaying their subconscious prejudices but know better than to come on out and say it, so instead they type things like…He should be with me or she doesn’t “look right” with him. It happens in Fassbender posts as well. I’m on the receiving end of comments like those because I’m Black and my boyfriend of 2 years is White.
Anyway, I digress,this story sounds ridiculous. What mother wouldn’t pick up on the girlfriend trying to pull the “get in good” with Mom angle? It’s honestly kind of insulting to his mother that people think she may not be intelligent enough to see that if it was happening. Mom’s know a fake and try hard when they see one. They seem happy together, let them be
+1
I just find it hard to believe his mother seems to like Eva, possibly more than Rachel. I’m just like “huh?”
She’s got a terrible reputation for being mean and rude.
I get that Marsha, but her reputation for being rude etc., may coincide with with the fact that she is a recovering addict and they tend to be moody, cranky, bitchy etc. because of their daily struggle to stay clean, I’m not trying to make an excuse for her if she does behave like that at times, BUT maybe Ryan has brought out a different side of Eva that we aren’t privy to. Maybe Ryan has told her to “calm her tits”…my boyfriend likes to say that a times because he knows I hate that damn phrase. 🙂
The intense dislike comes from the many many stories and well known fact within the industry that Eva is a grade A b*tch.
+1
I think they make a gorgeous couple.
nooo ryan
She’s super hot, she’s in the same field he is professionally, and yet her schedule is such that she is able to actually spend a lot of time with him(she’s relatively successful as an actress, but she doesn’t work that much really). I can see why it works.
“relatively successful as an actress”
Right that’s why she gets pappd every day coming out of a Starbucks. No serious actress would do something like this. But Mendes always goes the easiest way, never making an effort to stretch as an actress.
Typecast using her hooker vibe, flashing her nipples. Even if you don’t care for Gosling, its not that difficult finding Mendes cheap and laughable.
Landing Gosling would be a great career move for her. If she were Mrs. Gosling, perhaps some of his credibility would rub off on her. Career-wise, she’s just the Latina version of Amanda Peet.
I’m dating myself here but does anyone remember Silly Putty? Remember how you could stick it to a newspaper and the print would come off and then you could stretch the putty to make the photo imprint do all sorts of wonky things. Well Mendes has always reminded me of a Silly Putty imprint of Cindy Crawford that someone’s stretched all out of proportion. Long winded explanation, sorry.
It WOULD be a great career move… but she has been so incredibly vocal about not being the marrying type, not wanting children, etc.
I be that the greatness of the career move might make her change her tune and start saying things like, “Well, when the right person comes along, you start rethinking things…”
I think Dona is probably just a good mother, and like all good mothers, if your kid is happy with who they are with, then you have to keep your mouth shut no matter what you really think of them and hope you’ve raised them well enough to make the right choices…….but I’m sure a nice, down to earth woman like Dona is probably not to pleased that her only son is with a Hollywood sex pot 10 years older then him.
So true! My son’s very first “serious” girlfriend was such an obnoxious little twit. Very pretty, very manipulative, and I learned fast to keep my mouth shut about my opinion. It took about a year and a half for him to tire of her attitude, and then after they broke up, he was all, “so why didn’t you tell me you didn’t like her?!”
My brother once dated a really, really awful girl both me and my mother didn’t like and when we tried to tell him we had bad feelings about her he wouldn’t listen. Now she is currently serving 7 years in prison for some assault charges and my brother is happily single. It’s not just mamas who worry about the sons lol.
Kudos to you for being a good mother! And it’s not just worries about the guys, either; I had an awful ex-boyfriend who was just a horrible person and (being 20 and in love) I couldn’t see it. It ended, of course, but my parents’ constant disapproval really drove a wedge between us that our relationship still hasn’t fully healed over.
Personally, I think that top pic speaks for itself. She’s all into him. He, into her? Not so much.
But he took her to his Mom’s graduation…I think that shows that he is somewhat into her. 🙂
Yeah, or it just shows how good they are doing PR stuff….
Ryan doesn’t strike me as the type that would allow his mom to be used for PR.
Gyllenhaal and Di Caprio introduced their PR pieces to their mom’s. I guess show business mom’s are probably not naive. They know what’s going on. Gosling started out in this business as a teenager.
That’s a good point. Ryan’s been in the business forever. His mom has been with him every step of the way during his career. She even relocated down to florida with him while he did the Mickey Mouse Club. She must know how show business works.
came in here to say this.
I doubt she wants the ring, the kids. She likes it just how it is. Ryan is also happy with their relationship and especially since she’s not pressuring him for a commitment. It’s obviously mutually satisfying to them both, in the here and now.
I’m lucky, I guess. Never had to deal with mothers…they were either dead or so far away I never met them. Although now I’m dealing with adult kids — lots of ’em — who are NUTSO, including a daddy’s girl. Not a good situation!
If this is true, my year is ruined!
Mine too. Why does the b*tch always get the nice guy?
She’d sure be lucky. I’m very much a passenger on the “Gosling train”. No other way of transport for me!
What happened to his sister Mandi? She used to hang out with him all the time. They often attended events together with their mom, but she hasn’t been seen with him in a while, and it seems weird that she’s missed big moments in her mother’s life too considering how tight knit the trio were.
I find it hard to believe Donna is a big fan of Eva’s, considering how jealous she used to be of Rachel and how much her son adored her. Apparently talked him out of marrying her and meddled hard in that relationship, to the point Rachel gave up – is what I’ve been told.
Yeah, where is his sister Mandi these days? I haven’t seen her around for a while, and she missed the graduation. It could be that she’s not too crazy about Eva. Does anyone know?
I wonder if that might be the case? My brother once dated and got serious with a woman I really disliked. I couldn’t stand to be in the same room with her. She was just so rude and condescending. It got to the point where I purposely didn’t go somewhere if I knew she would be there. Thankfully things didn’t last, but boy was it awful to have to put up with someone like that for a while.
Yes! I wonder what his sister thinks of all this? We haven’t seen her around at all. Maybe she refused to take part in this ridiculous PR shenanigans?
And where’s George? 🙁
He probably has to spend his whole time with Eva’s dog! Is Eva’s dog arrogant and bitchy too, or just thankful to not be around her anymore? 😉
I agree that his sister probably wants nothing to do with this media circus. I don’t blame her.
I don’t care about this couple anymore. I used to be jealous, but not anymore. I’m actually pretty sick of all the exposure they get, especially Eva. Do you know she’s been papped pretty much every single day now? You’d be very naive if you don’t think she’s trying to get some serious PR from all of this. I assume Ryan’s ok with it all, otherwise he would have broke up with her a long time ago. It’s disappointing, because he never used to play the game. I guess now it’s different.
I would have thought all the paparazzi at his mom’s graduation would have been the last straw for him. Or maybe he really enjoys all the attention, but acts like he doesn’t? Why do I have the feeling he’s very two faced?
yes that’s exactly what bothers me, he used to be so against all this hollywood BS and now he’s fine with it & is even taking part in it. smh
What’s with Eva acting all domestic and sh*t all of a sudden? She said before she wasn’t a domestic type at all. I mean, she’s now learning to cook, fetching Ryan is coffee everyday, buying pie plates, wearing maternity clothes (probably to get people talking)? She is really really trying to work this angle. I think most men would sense her desperation/neediness and run! As much as Eva wants it, I don’t know if she’s the one Ryan will settle down with. I’d be very surprised if he did, actually. He did surprise me by staying with her this long, so I don’t know.
She’s a known diva and b*tch, and he’s an immature manchild with issues. Good luck to them.
I wonder if she’s still into the coke? I know she went to rehab, but it was rumoured she never finished the treatment. And Ryan always looks like he’s high on something. I’m sorry, but he does.
There was a blind item back in 2008 I think, where he was the popular guess. It was about this actor who had such a bad coke problem, he had to get the inside of his nose surgically repaired. He also had to go to rehab in order to get acting work again, because he was unable to be insured. All the timelines fit with what was going on with Ryan at that time. He seemed to have all these projects lined up, then all of a sudden he fell off the radar for a while. It seemed to begin when he got dropped from the “Lovely Bones.”
I still think this is mostly a showmance for publicity. Maybe they are physically hooking up as well, but I don’t see any love between them. And all these leaks of personal information to US magazine are a big factor. Of course they are going to say Ryan’s mom loves Eva and they are the best of friends. They are really trying to get people to believe in it. When people don’t believe in a celebrity couple, they always bring in the family, because that way how could it not be a showmance? Very manipulative, the media is. I will only believe they are a completely legit and in love couple if they stay together well beyond the movie’s premiere.
At this point I’m really curious how they will end it!
I am looking forward to when they have to do press together. I have a feeling it will be awkwardly funny!
There’s a rumour that Eva is not allowing Ryan to take the part of Christian Grey in “50 Shades of Grey” because she thinks the film is too erotic. She has jealousy issues methinks. The man is p*ssywhipped if he’s now letting her make career decisions for him. Also, isn’t it funny that this is the same woman who did all those erotic photoshoots in very vulgar poses?
I highly doubt Ryan is interested in playing Christian Grey. This movie is going to be a complete disaster.
Whatevs to the King and Queen of the Sourpuss.
[Note to lurking Mendes pr people: I must say Ms Mendes looked super smashing the other day: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2159033/Eva-Mendes-legs-petrol-station-pumps-gas-short-dress.html?ito=feeds-newsxml. I think the Garanimals approach to fashion really works for her! Please keep it up….please…]
Unfortunately, I think there will continue to be many rumours of marriage, babies, etc for the next year or so. At least until this movie they did together comes out. Eva’s PR team is relentless.
Eva has spoken out publicly a few times about never wanting to get married. She believes it is an antiquated tradition. So I call BS. I remember her saying it not too long ago on Chelsea Lately too.
Yes, I remember that too. She said she thinks marriage is old and archaic. Also that it doesn’t fit into her world today. I don’t know if she would change her mind that quickly, if she was so strongly opposed to it in the past.
Why all the Eva hate? I don’t get it.
Eva has said a million times she doesn’t believe in marriage. So I don’t get why the tabloids keep trying to make this story up.
If Ryan weren’t into her, he wouldn’t be dating her. It’s clear they both really like eachther. And they are both hot as heck.
They are birds of a feather to me. I believe Ryan and Eva probably have more in common than people think. Ryan is just really good at playing up his “nice, sweet guy” image when the occasion calls for it. And Eva’s b*tchy reputation in Hollywood is no secret. I also don’t get why the tabloids keep pushing these marriage rumours.
other than ryan fans no one really cares
about them has a couple, the media keep trying to make them happen but nobody cares there like a poor man’s Bennifer

why is this a story?
Hold the phone. Wasnt this chick very VERY VERY vocal about NEVER wanting kids, marriage etc etc??? Now the sudden change? I dont get it.
I don’t get it either. I know people change their minds, but she was VERY vocal about never doing that stuff. And now, all of a sudden after meeting Gosling, it’s the thing she most wants in the world? Give me a break!
I don’t think ive ever seen any of her movies.
I never thought l would see Ryan end up Benniffer Mark #2
He’s really overdone the PR in a big way.
I think he will end up just end up a big joke..
I think it’s already happening. People are starting to not take him as seriously anymore, after all this terrible PR exposure, thanks to his attention seeking girlfriend, who has been papped every single day lately. And all the memes, crime stopping, hey girl crap doesn’t help. He doesn’t look very good in that Gangster Squad trailer, he’s talking in a really stupid weeny voice. He will become a laughing stock in the future. It’s too bad he decided to go hollywood.
maybe they get along with each other because Eva is almost the same age as Ryans mom :DDD haha
bring back george!!
