The meltdown of the Ryan Gosling’s Hey Girls last week was both funny and frightening. It was funny because so many ladies still love Gosling’s hipster normcore shtick and there was genuine panic that he impregnated his girlfriend of what? Four years? The frightening part was that Eva Mendes got a lot of hate. While I think there is something (literally!) fishy about all of this, I want to believe that Ryan isn’t douching out on Eva and that this isn’t a band-aid baby. Us Weekly says that it’s not a band-aid baby. Their sources say Ryan is taking care of his lady:
File this under “More Reasons to Love Ryan Gosling.” The Only God Forgives actor, who’s expecting a baby with actress Eva Mendes, has taken on the job of personal chef for his pregnant girlfriend, a source reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly.
“Ryan goes out and gets the groceries,” the insider tells Us of the Notebook hunk. “[Eva’s] been wanting pasta, and he’s cooking her meals.” Adds the source: “Ryan has already stepped into the role of caring father-to-be.”
As previously reported, Gosling, 33, and Mendes, 40, are set to welcome their first child together in just a few months’ time. They clicked on the set of The Place Beyond the Pines back in 2011 — the same year, incidentally, that the actor expressed his desire to start a family.
“I’d like to be making babies but I’m not, so I’m making movies,” he told the U.K.-based paper The Times that September. “When someone comes along, I don’t think I’ll be able to do both and I’m fine with that. I’ll make movies until I make babies.”
For more on Ryan and Eva’s big news — including how they went from friends to more than friends, what his crew thinks of her, and how he knew she was The One — pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands Friday.
I included that last part – about his “crew” – because…? Ryan has a “crew”? Let’s be real – he has some dude friends and maybe they’re his bros, but I doubt they’re a crew. As for Ryan’s kitchen skills… okay. He’s cooking for her. He’s doing all of the grocery shopping. But what else? I need more details. If he putting together the crib and organizing the nursery? Is Ryan’s crew planning the baby shower? Details, people.

Good! These are caring stuff that he and all men should do for their pregnant partners, its the least they could do for 9 months of great discomfort that the ladies have to endure ; )).
I personally don’t know why their pregnancy is getting so much attention by the media and people, they seem to want to be low key and so we should let them to it.
Well maybe at first they wanted to be lowkey, but now that they’re putting out these kind of PR stories they obviously don’t want the pregnancy to be hidden. But than maybe this is them just trying to control the story since it first got out through OK mag somehow.
But we don’t know that they are putting these stories out. This type of thing is sooooo easy for tabloids to make up. Why waste resources and time on getting a quote from an inside source when you can just speculate?
These daily stories are probably among the major reason they were keeping this pregnancy a secret . Once the press finds out a celebrity is pregnant they do constant stories about EVERY thing about the pregnancy. Next it will be about how much good guy Ryan loves her swollen ankles or about Eva planning to breast feed, her new diet , blah, blah, blah .
Ok so I didn’t get all the love for him for many years then I saw Crazy, Stupid, Love (the Dirty Dancing lift scene) and I re-watched the Notebook. I am so not sappy at all but come on The FREAKING NOTEBOOK!! I get all the love for him.
With that being said I don’t hate anyone he impregnates, nor do I wish death on them. I do think something is weird going on here.
This kind of thing is not that unusual. It happens. And has happened with other celebs. death treats, wishing harm on children.
I don’t understand the mentality of a woman that thinks she has some claim over a man she has never met or that she has a right to think her opinion of the woman he loves matters
Some fans or whatever you call them are seriously mental; and social media has given them a place to voice that crazy.
“I don’t understand the mentality of a woman that thinks she has some claim over a man she has never met or that she has a right to think her opinion of the woman he loves matters”
This x1000!! I totally don’t understand that. The comments on the news that Eva was pregnant were so frighting. People gloating at the thought that he would be treating her badly although she is pregnant with his child. These people should really ask what is wrong with them.
People that are overly-invested in the private lives of celebs are creepy, period. You see that kind of thing most often on the Brange/JA threads actually.
Totally agree with this, it’s completely beyond me as well…”get a life” time – methinks
lisa2 – agreed. I will never get the obsessed fangirl mentality for the life of me. They are legitimately weird people. I went and looked at the responses from some of these groupies on the twitter feed from that chick who is working with TH right now, can’t remember her name. The one who tweeted about TH’s fans. The “Ugh! How UNPROFESSIONAL to make fun of the fans!!” outrage and looping in TH’s twitter handle so he gets their response on his timeline, like he’s going to personally thank them or something, is completely mental. And FTR- I agree with her on how stupid these girls (and grown ass women) look and behave. I get crushing on a celeb as I’ve certainly been there before, but my god some of these people are out of control.
@TOK – the Brange/JA threads scare me, for real. But I can’t look away. The anger and insults thrown around (especially towards JAniston) is beyond reason. And the shameless gushing over Brange with no room for anything else is straight up weird.
@theoriginalkitten.
I’m a die hard Brad and Angie fan. Make no apologies for that and won’t ever deny I am a fan that will come to their defense (needed or not) when I see lies or unfair bias about them. But I have never wished harm on anyone nor have I ever posted anything that I would not be comfortable with anyone in my real life seeing.
The thing that I find more weird is that when fans are supportive they are called crazy and such; but when people who are not fans make nasty and negative comments based on gossip those comments are seen as just an unbiased opinion. @Kate2.. your comment is a prime example of how things are seen from only one perspective. I wonder if you said the same years ago when the comments were different. I would think not
funny how that all works.
Ryan chose Eve and she chose him. He is a grown man that has not had any children. So to me it says that this pregnancy was planned and something they both wanted. Children don’t trap men. If they did there would be far less divorces and children being raised in single parent homes. men stay because they want to stay and the leave because they want to leave. End.
Honestly, if you experience emotion over the level of “huh. whats for lunch” just because your favorite guy celebrity is with someone else then its time to take a step back.
The same applies if it affects you that complete strangers online dont like your preferred celebrity. What celebrities dont have unfair things said about them anyway? I happen to really like Beyonce, now imagine if I took seriously even a fraction of the stuff that is said about her? I would probably be catatonic by now. Relax. Breath. Allow others to differ.
“The thing that I find more weird is that when fans are supportive they are called crazy and such; but when people who are not fans make nasty and negative comments based on gossip those comments are seen as just an unbiased opinion.”
I have no problem with fans supporting their favorite. What I hate is the incessant need to reply to any post that features a dissenting opinion and the general stifling/silencing of those who disagree, particularly if their opinion is presented in an non-aggressive, polite manner.
Personally, I’m not a fan of mean-spirited comments, but I see it on BOTH sides when it comes to the dreaded Triangle of Doom That Won’t Die.
@lisa2 – No offense, but I don’t care that much about any of them. So there’s really no side here to view anything from. Sure, I like them and I think Theroux is hot, but I wouldn’t go so far as to call myself a “fan”. Mostly I just like watching the crazy show on these threads.
I wasn’t here 5 or 6 years ago, I don’t know what the comments were, so maybe you’re right. Maybe there was a glut of anti-Brange comments. It really doesn’t matter though, and I don’t really care, because I’m here now and I’m calling it like I see it presently. You only need to go to the Aniston perfume comments to see what she’s being called. I don’t have any real drive to defend her but don’t pretend there’s not a large faction of people who go to her threads or anything related to her and say terrible things about her, and flat out worship Angelina to the point of being strange. I have seen exactly zero worship of Aniston to that degree, even from people who would consider themselves fans. Take a gander at the Justin Theroux thread to see what was said about her (and him) there. The amount of negative things said here about Brange is negligible. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, but the number people rushing to their “aid” and the ferocity of the defense when these comments are made far outweigh any defense of Aniston and the things said about her, at least on this particular site. Please don’t act like this isn’t the case because that’s just insulting. And the fact you feel the need to “defend” any of them from comments some stranger makes about them means maybe you take this all a bit seriously.
@TOK 11:13 Pitt/Jolie/Aniston thread.= crazy,that is why I stay away from any and all post that have anything to do with them
It is really shocking the otherwise “normal” people that think they have claim to celebs. It is especially scary when people act as if they have the right to their bodies. I even saw a 12 year old girl say while she was waiting by a backstage area that she was just going to grab a male celeb’s butt if she saw him (her mom giggled). It doesn’t matter if a person if famous, you don’t have the right to grab their body parts!
And oh goodness, the JA/AJ/BP drama….Those fans always play hard BALLS.
It used to be like that for Brandi Glanville on here LOL! Look how that cluster ended up in people’s real lives.
I said it then and I’ll say it now – this sort of celeb love is freaking weird!
Sounds like his people are leaking this to course correct his image. Between ‘band-aid baby’ (I hate that word), the bad(ish) press he got a couple weeks ago for being difficult on The Notebook set, and his crap movie at Cannes, his tortoise-shelled hipster glasses are losing their shine.
I get that impression as well.
Yeah, it reads a bit like that Ashton Kutcher story about how he doesn’t tell a pregnant Mila Kunis that she’s fat. Dude. That’s what you’re *supposed* to do! Why release the story unless you want to be patted on the head for doing what decent human beings do?
(am assuming that it’s not a made up story)
This.
It’s so odd that they hid the pregnancy so well and now that it’s out, they’re leaking all these Ryan is ‘literally’ excited, happy and he’s cooking and and taking good care of her and stuff. Very fishy.
It seems to me that they didn’t leak it at all.
To my mind they didn’t intend to let the word out until the baby was born and well. Someone’s clearly outed them and the pregnancy, leaving Eva to attempt to hide the bump to create an element of doubt that there’s a baby or that she’s the one carrying the baby.
Which looks like the behaviour of a couple either in the midst of receiving threats or trying to avoid press intrusion to avoid stressing the mother unduly (something that she may know causes problems).
If there’s anything fishy it’s that people can’t seem to consider this as a scenario at all.
Which probably explains why they haven’t yet confirmed the pregnancy themselves.
I agree, FF. If I had to guess, I would say this story didn’t come from them but is the result of speculation from the tabloid.
I bet Eva gets on the celeb kid pap game hard once the kid is there. But whatever, I find them both extremely annoying.
At least Goslings poor dog doesn’t have to work at their stupid PR game anymore.
+1 His PR is desparately trying to keep him on the “soon to be a list” list.
Ryan is a good actor with range and respected by his peers in Hollywood.People who prefer substance over fluff will always got to see his movies .He has turned down lead roles in block buster type films as he thought he wasn’t the right fit I never got the celebrity at all costs over love of acting vibe from him
I am getting that impression as well. Someone’s PR people are trying to get that image back to the guy every girl wants to have. He cooks and cleans for his lady, cue swooning.
Sarcasm aside, my husband does the cooking (because he is a fantastic cook and compared to what he makes no one wants to eat my slop ) and helps out with the cleaning and doesn’t expect a reward for it.
If people like Malick, Cianfrance, Refn… work with him it’s because of his skills an presence as an actor, not because of his “good image”.
I’m fascinated by the peoples who are obsessed by her pregnancy. I never saw so many hatred against a pregnancy
Whilst there is some general snark out there. A lot of what I saw on the internet was faux hysteria exaggeration and people being funny about a persistent internet trope of girls being obsessed with Ryan since the Note book
With Regards to Eva Ive never really got her appeal from ever since (nothing to do with Ryan ) but that doesn’t matter clearly he gets her and I predict they are in it for the long haul much to the dismay of many
“lot of what I saw on the internet was faux hysteria exaggeration and people being funny about a persistent internet trope of girls being obsessed with Ryan since the Note book”
Exactly. It’s not like the Gosfans are Twi-hard level. It’s a small group of cult followers that are invested and the vast majority of people are like “meh.”
I dont know what conspiracies people are already cooking up with these two but as for me I couldnt be happier for them.
Also, I can see why they hid it for so long. It cant be easy to go through a pregnancy while having to contend with all the attention, positive and negative.
I don’t understand why he’s getting credit for something he should be doing anyway. Isn’t he supposed to be taking care of the mother of his child?
I know right? It ‘s the bare minimum he should be doing are we supposed to give him a gold star for grocery shopping and making pasta?
And why is it not news when Eva’s at the grocery store and cooking him pasta?! Seriously people, shut this story down- it’s not the 1950’s anymore! Mysogeny reeks!!
I came here just to write that as well! It’ s like when women get a day off from their children and the father takes care of them and everyone is: “Aren’ t you lucky that your husband is babysitting your children?”. He’ s not babysitting, he’ s parenting, it’ s his damn job! What do you want, a medal?
I would go so far to say it’s something any man should do for his partner regardless of her gestational status. I mean now I feel I should give my boyfriend a medal because he made dinner the other night while I picked raspberries…
This seems like a story from a 50’s ad. “The Little Lady is expecting, so The Man of the House takes over in her kitchen”! Ugh. And what is the fuss over him? I think he’s a good actor, but why all the hysteria?
Better yet they can afford it hire someone. I think whole story is bs.
Maybe Ryan’s doing all the grocery shopping so Eva wont have a daily pap walk at the Whole Foods.
I hate these articles praising men for doing EXACTLY WHAT THEY’RE SUPPOSED TO DO WHEN THEIR WIFE/GIRLFRIEND IS PREGNANT. It’s mind boggling how little we expect of men.
I love The Gos as an actor. That is all.
+1
So many people who are hoping and praying (or is it preying? ) that he and Eva are over. It has a Brangelina type feel to it. People were predicting the brange was ending , even as angie popped out kid after kid and they adopted half the world.
Something tells me Ryan and Eva are just fine. And Eva is 40 so I can see why they are being careful with the pregnancy. People need get a life and chill.
People already hated Eva long before she got with Ryan, that is not new or ‘frightening’.
I think you may have a point maybe she reminds us of that girl we all know back in the day
You know the one who we think is not that great looking but guys think she hot and she kinnda a B1tch yet manages to get and keep good guys Evas last relationship lasted for 10 yrs and shes been with Ryan for almost 3yrs so she does know how to keep a guy and I think they will be together for a while
Ryan wants to be with her though plain and simple I understand that its he who requested her for his movie Place beyond the pines as really nothing has been happening in her career for a while .So there you have it
Has Eva been hiding in an underground vault? If not, this is proof enough that celebs can generally avoid the paps when they want to.
This makes me like him a little, which still isn’t much. My guy does the shopping and cooking too. (I loathe doing both)
wow, they’re really trying to make him look good, huh? I think they’re a real relationship despite what people want, not really buying all this cooking/shopping crap. because you never read anything bad about him, only good. no one’s perfect.
..or maybe he’s just a genuinely decent guy?
Honestly, the over-the-top hate-on for Gosling is starting to get really grating.
You never read bad things about him but people still find reasons to hate the poor dude. I’ve never seen this happen with any other actor except him and I find it really strange.
Is it because of his fanbase? Because I hate his crazy-ass stanbase too but I don’t see that as a reason to despise this guy.
What hate? People either love him or dont see what the big deal is from what I’ve seen/read. Who are his supposed haters? What site is that?
To be blunt- the fuss about Goslindes’ pregnancy rises form the fact that many people- the Ryanloonies- didn’t want them together in the first place. Rynaloonies believe this two are like apple and banana…
I know in Hollywood love is a fickle thing – in ‘real’ life too – but the truth is it can happen to anyone even the most imperfect of all.
I only wish them well on the baby and hope they stick together.
I don’t get it. Has she committed a felony, killed a puppy..what has she done that makes her so bad. I don’t follow or know much about either of them, but it all seems so extreme for some dude you have never met and will most likely never meet.
I see no need to hate Eva or any celeb, besides the worst offenders like Sheen, Gibson, etc.
That being said, there are just SO many stories about her being rude to fans and people in the service industry. Add that to the fact that she’s just a very mediocre and forgettable actress…I guess I see no real reason to like her either?
@theoriginalkitten
So we are supposed to dislike her because of some hearsay about rudeness to randoms and lack of talent?
Even so , I find it to be a double standard on your part since you actively fangirl Michelle rodriguez a terrible actress one note actress who appear in crap franchise movies and with hit and run, dui’s and battery on her personal record. Sorry for calling you out but I kind of had to don’t even care about Eva just can’t stand this kind of double standard 🙂
LOL! When have I EVER actively fan-girled Michelle Rodriguez?
Because I said she and Efron are hot together? They are hot and I stand by that but how in the world is that considered “fan-girling”?
I’m pretty vocal about my favorite actresses around here (Michelle Williams, Cat Blanchette, Kidman) and never ONCE have I ever mentioned Michelle Rodriguez. Hell, I’ve never seen her in anything except for Girlfight so I truly have no idea where that came from unless you’re confusing me with a different poster.
And yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s how celeb gossip works–when you hear not one but MANY stories about a celeb being an asshole, I think it’s fair to assume that they’re probably an asshole. Sorry, but Eva isn’t immune to that no matter how much you want her to be.
Also, I think we need to revisit the definition of “double-standard”. It doesn’t mean what you think it does 🙂
For real? You said you see no reason to like Eva.. Eva seems to be pretty innocent compared to Rodriguez. A drunk driver with a violent temper.Fawning over someone like that and then so judgemental about Eva does seem to be a double standard.
🙂
You keep saying “fawning” over her and I still have no idea what you’re talking about because I’ve never “fawned” over Rodriguez.
I didn’t think my comment about Eva was judgmental at all-I said I don’t hate her but I don’t like her either–basically I’m indifferent to Eva. But honestly, if you’re scared of celebrities being judged then perhaps a celebrity gossip forum isn’t right for you.
*shrugs*
Also the situation you described isn’t a “double standard”. If you wanted to call it hypocritical that might be slightly more accurate but eh… look, it’s just celeb gossip and we all have our opinions.
I think you might be taking things a bit too seriously.
Actually kitten. Mrods criminal record is pretty serious. She could have killed someone. A shitty attitude and bad acting never killed noone.
For the fourth time, not a Rodriguez fan but she’s a beautiful woman, regardless of her DUI.
Keanu Reeves got a DUI too and I still find him attractive so at least I’m consistent.
As far as Eva goes, for the fourth time and because I love repeating myself: I’m indifferent to her. Never said she was akin to a murderer but I suppose that won’t stop you guys from saying that I said that….so carry on.
No one would be giving a rat’s behind if he had knocked up some McAdams-a-like.
It’s fascinating to see how hard people (no I’m not referring to anyone on this post, rather in general) verbally dodge the age and racial component to this couple but say as much in other ways. That’s a lot of what’s burning some people to be honest, because the going narrative before this news was that they weren’t even anywhere near each other (an impression they probably crafted deliberately to avoid this exact attention while Eva was pregnant) which is exactly what a lot of people were hoping.
Once this kid is born and it looks like they’re a legit family unit I give it five seconds before the media goes looking for ‘the new Ryan Gosling’ – one who’s dating a McAdams-a-like.
@ff just said the same thing.
Whilst there may be some ageism/ racism angle to this for some McGoslings anybody other than McAdams or themselves (LOL) would be a problem
Re ageism Ryan is known for dating older women Sandra Bullock and McAdam were both older than him , however Eva’s turban wearing supposedly old style glamour actually makes her look older than even Sandra who is now 50 ! and Eva is just 3 yrs older than McAdams
Racism may be there dunno But I guess If her were dating Say Eva Longoria (also Hispanic ) the response might not be the same ..sorry know its not fair to judge but some people give off an unlikeable vibe and I have found Eva to be one of those people …Looong before she hooked up with Ryan just saying
But I maintain he chose her and at the end of the day that’s all that matters . Good luck to them !
…+3 years older than McAdams??? Somewhere in my noggin, I seem to recall a story (maybe on here) about Eva and how she lied about her age… some TV interview, possibly overseas, where the guy called her out on her age and things got *realllyyyy* weird and he flat out said something like “I thought you were ## old?” And I think the difference was 3 or 4 years. So that would make her 43…44?? !!someone help me out with this story!! lol
Anyway, Rachel is 35.
And I don’t think racism is involved AT. All. She’s simply unlikeable. She always has this smug, I’m better than you look about her. IMO.
FF I agree. You just called it out totally.
+10000
Eva is absolutely stunning IMO. I think it s hilarious when people call her ugly. She’s one of the most gorgeous women in Hollywood. Revlon had her under contract for years, this is a beautiful and sexy woman.
I think they make a wonderful couple.
She pregnant with Ryan Goslings child and they are a real couple. think a lot of his fans can’t handle it. Ryan is crazy about this woman, it radiates off of him when he’s with her. IMO
They’ve been together for years and some still want to believe somehow he doesn’t really want her. Ha.
These two have always looked like they were very much smitten with each other. IMO
Some posters DID use the word ugly about her when pregnancy was first announced days ago.
She is quite stunning. IMO
I have not read a lot of negative about Eva, on a personal level. She seemed pretty nice whenever I’ve read about her or seen her do an interview.
Ryan and Eva always seem to ooze a strong chemistry between each other.
He’s with her because he wants to be.
Anyway, I agree with #FF above on the points made.
Ella…I think The Original Kitten’s remarks regarding Eva were pretty neutral, actually.
You can’t compare keanu reeves to michelle Rodriguez @theoriginalkitten.
Yes keanu has a DUI, so does gosling by the way. But those guys stopped at one. Did their community service, made up for their mistake, moved on.
Rodriguez has several DUI, vilolated probation. Several stays in rehab. 6 months in jail.Arrested for hitting her then girlfriend.
It’s a completly different ball game, a repeat offender.
Btw both Mendez and Rodriguez are attractive women. I would like to think hotness doesn’t excuse bitchy or criminal behaviour. Seriously.
Hmm..
So Ryan can cook for Eva and it’s believable yet Kate Middleton cooking for Prince William in one of her three kitchens is not believable?
Interesting…
mmm I don’t bye it. something is off with this dude. no one is perfect. always something I didn’t like about him.
So wonderful and fashion ‘forward’ that 50’s style clothes are coming back – saw some poodle skirts out there the other day too – black yoga pants are boring.
Have to confess to never seeing him in any movies so I don’t have any opinion on him. Not much more on Eva either – I think I saw her as the BFF in a rom com once? And not giving much of a hoot about kids/babies, I’m actually hoping we can move onto more fun gossip about interesting celebs … like Blohan tripping on a carpet lol.
The kid will be gorgeous good luck to them!
The way this has all “rolled out” has been weird. Hiding behind “sources” and Birkin bags is all kind of lame.
I don’t doubt for one moment his PR is behind this “Strategy”. Eva loves her some press and it’s totally her game to be papped..so this coy play feels orchestrated to me. Loved Ryan in Crazy Stupid Love and Notebook but this trying too hard game really does not suit him.
Plenty of famous people are able to not make such a big deal about pregnancies. And sorry Ryan, cooking and buying groceriees for your pregnant partner doesn’t earn you a GOLD STAR. It’s called doing the right thing.
this story is silly.
Ryan and Eva hid this for 7months they did not make a big deal out of it at all.
Bottom line is this: Middle America would like Ryan with someone younger and whiter. Racism and ageism prevails.
Sadly +100
Well,I certainly understand why a celebrity might want to try and hide their baby bump.I wish them a happy, healthy beautiful baby.
I don’t really care about the Note Book movie. I like the Time Traveler’s Wife movie better. Watch this movie. The young girl that portrayed young Rachel was so cute and adorable.
US Weekly makes up lots of stories. They could care less what the world thinks of them. If they did leak a story, it would never be something this cheesy.
Gorgeous couple. They have always seemed really into each other.
