Disappointment in Toronto
Much to the dismay of McGosling fans around the world (that would be me and a few other freaks like me), it seems that a red carpet appearance is not meant to be. At least not yet.
Rachel McAdams arrived solo to the Toronto International Film Festival Premiere of The Lucky Ones.
I had been waiting and wondering for weeks if she would take Ryan Gosling. Unfortunately, the answer came with a big fat NO.
My friend and I were having a friendly argument over email about this on Friday. I said that they shouldn’t be ashamed of their love and that they should proudly shout it from the rooftops.
This was her response:
“I have to disagree with you. I think they should stay as private as possible. Almost all Hollywood couples who go very public end up breaking up. Especially the young, hot, hollywood ones. I’m not talking about Steven Spielberg and Kate, Tom & Rita, Goldie & Kurt – the papo don’t stalk them, but the young ones, they do. R&R truly became actors b/c they love the profession, not for the fame. Why if you’re in love do you have to shout it from the rooftops??? It’s a private, very personal thing, and I think the more private you can keep it as a celebrity the better off you’ll be.”
I can understand what she is saying, and above all else, I just want them to be together. I don’t want the paparazzi stalking them into breaking up again. However, it seems like a lot of unneccessary effort to me to have to be so secretive. To me, hiding all the time would put stress on the relationship as well.
What do you guys think? Are Rachel and Ryan making a good choice by trying to keep their relationship as private as possible?
While there are plenty of more important things that I could write about (such as devastating hurricanes, big bang machines, and the presidential election), I’ve decided to stay true to my shallow self and talk about the issues that really matter. Those issues would be clothes, shoes, hair and makeup.
Aside from Rachel not bringing Ryan to the film festival, she did make a splash on the red carpet. I always think she looks adorable. What do you think? Let’s weigh in on the topic of her dress and hair for both of her Toronto Film Festival appearances.
Look #1: Attending the premiere of the movie Che:
Look #2: Premiere of her movie The Lucky Ones:
I’d much rather be talking about the cutest accessory of all time (Ryan Gosling), but since she decided to go solo, we’ll just have to talk about her dresses, hairstyles, makeup, etc… Which look do you prefer?
What are your thoughts about the choice of McGosling to keep their relationship on the down-low?
Discuss.

I prefer the long dress- more elegant.
I’m not sure if it was just the photo, but I find the shorter dress slightly unflattering. Maybe it just needed more color? She just looked a bit washed out to me I think. Not a big fan of those shoes either…what’s up with the stuff at the ankles?
Sorry that you were denied your McGosling fix.
I see both sides of the argument. I think that it’s probably a good idea to stay private while you’re still getting comfortable with each other again…but staying private also must put lots of stress on the situation. Hopefully they can make it work either way. They are very sweet together.

“To me, hiding all the time would put stress on the relationship as well.”
i have to agree with this. it just seems like a lot of work. i don’t think people expect them to flaunt their relatinship but i also don’t think they act like any other normal couple would. most boyfriends would be there to support their girlfriend. he didn’t need to walk the red carpet with her, but he wasn’t even in toronto with her and they don’t even acknowledgee each other. too much work imo.

huh… I don’t know Jen look # 2 maybe hiding a baby bump.

I agree with your friend.
and to be completly honest? How many events did they atend together?
Rachel has 3 movie premieres while they were dating in 05…how many did Ryan go to? none
Ryan had the premiere to Stay also while they were dating…did she go ? no
same to Half Nelson, but she was filming at the time so…
bottom line is: they AREN’T a red carpet couple!and don’t need to show up to prove their support either, support is more than just being there in person , just like Mandi said last year at the ISA ”She is here in spirit”
and how many people (that know how private they are about their relationship) had serious expectations of him attending?I’m sure a lot of people had hopes, but deep inside they all probably knew he wouldn’t show up
and I think the hiding DOES cause a lot of stress, but I also think that people’s hope on them showing up together in events doesn’t help much notice how the times they went to events together were when there was little media about them…and now everyone wanted to see them walk the red carpert together so that probably was even more stressful
if they had gone together to THIS particulat event, I’m sure people would care about that…and not the movie.
All IMO
I think people just need to give them time, and cool off their heads about them being back together so they can do a public even again

I like look # 1 the best, but it might be some issues with the angles in the second set of pictures that I’m having – the dress seems like it might be cute and you know she’s gorgeous – but the first two pics she looks stellar .
I’m with you – sometimes it’s nice to focus on the shallow for a bit – it’s not that we aren’t aware of what’s going on – but that doesn’t mean it has to be the only thing we talk about.

Since I don’t care at all about McGosling (SORRY), I’ll just focus on the fashion. #1 is just not flattering in my opinion. I love the long, elegant look, but I do think she needs some jewelry to go along with it. Most importantly, I’m glad she is proving that you don’t need big boobs to be gorgeous!
[Reply]
I agree about the boob thing
I’ve seen on gossip blogs…and probably Oh No They Didn’t people saying rude things about small breasts, some blog had the headline ”where is Ryan?”
and someone commented ”Ryan?…where are her boobs?” or something like that
maybe those people don’t get that if bothered her that much she would have implants or wear onle dresses that you can wear wonder ,invisible and push up bras…

I don’t think they are trying to stay private and “hide” on purpose, I just think they are private and don’t care about being photographed and being in the public eye and being “famous”. Neither of them live in LA full-time and go to the papo-ridden places – The Ivy, Robertson Blvd, nightclubs, hotels, etc. So I don’t think they are working harder to stay private, I just think they live in places that aren’t as papo-ridden as LA is. It’s the same thing with people who live in NYC and London – you don’t see them as often. I also think certain people do tip off the papo and that’s why you see them a lot. The papo also know where most people in LA live, so they sit outside their communities waiting for them to leave their house and then follow them to get the pics. And since neither R nor R live in LA full-time, then it’s easy not to be photog’d all the time. Also, bottom line, not many people care about R&R, so they aren’t going to get photographed as much. Sorry Jen.

I think she is just stunning…no matter how she looks.

I think it’s a little bit of both..I mean, from what I can see, they are two strong individuals who fell in love with each other. So I guess there’s a nice balance between them being on the down-low and having a public relationship..they seldom talk about each other and when we look at it objectively, all we can really get from them is that they are affectionate with each other..and honestly, I’m fine with both..as long as they are together cause you can sorta see the change in them in terms of “before” and “after” each other and you can tell that they make each other happy.
I guess I pretty much prefer to view them as “normal”.

I prefer the second look and I think that they just need to go about their lives as normal as possible. If the pap gets pics, then it’s just part of the celebrity aspect. I think they should do publicity events w/out each other but otherwise, just be as normal as possible.
[Reply]
We talked…and she couldn’t really decide whether to bring me or him. So…she went stag. It’s unfortunate, but I guess it’s for the best.
[Reply]
honestly, as much as I love celebrity appearances, I believe they should keep their private lives private. It’s safer for them. I am not, at all, a pamela anderson/Tommy lee fan but last week, in an interview she said something which really made me think about this topic. She was talking about how he is, and will always be, her dearest friend but the effect the celebrity life has on them makes it impossible for their relationship to ever work… i have to wonder if that’s not the case for a lot of celeb couples…
