Ryan Gosling

Ryan Gosling is used to being the one directed in shirtless situations, but the roles were reversed yesterday on the Detroit set of How to Catch a Monster when Ryan called the shots. The actor continued production on his writing and directorial debut by shooting scenes with Matt Smith, who has a huge fanbase thanks to his turn as Doctor Who. Matt showed off a shaved head and very muscular physique in the scenes, which saw him singing while standing in a moving car and lifting weights. The fantasy noir also stars Ryan’s The Place Beyond the Pines co-stars Eva Mendes and Ben Mendelsohn, his Drive co-star Christina Hendricks, and Irish actress Saoirse Ronan. It was also recently announced that Warner Bros. had acquired the movie.

You don't have to wait long to see Ryan Gosling on the screen again — this year, he's starring in Only God Forgives, in which he reunites with his Drive director Nicolas Winding Refn. In the drama, he plays a former kickboxer seeking revenge for his brother's murder in Bangkok — and while the trailer is very violent, we'll spare you the gory details here. Instead, click on for pictures of Mr. Gosling doing one of the things he does best: looking mighty fine.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes were joined by their co-star Bradley Cooper when they screened their new film, The Place Beyond the Pines, in NYC on Friday. Ryan wore a green velvet Gucci suit while his girlfriend, Eva, donned an orange Prada frock. Bradley made the trip to the Big Apple from Boston, where he is currently filming a still-untitled David O. Russell film alongside Amy Adams and his Silver Linings Playbook co-star Jennifer Lawrence. He was spotted earlier this month wearing pink curlers on set, but at the premiere he showed no signs of a wavier 'do, instead opting to slick his long hair back off his face.

Katie Holmes was also in attendance after returning to the Big Apple from a trip to Disney World with Suri. Fans of Ryan Gosling may want to catch this film, as the actor recently announced that he might be taking a break from acting.

When Ellen's in town, you know all eyes — including ours — are going to be trained on her every move, and so they have been since the super popular talk show host and comedian touched down in Sydney on Friday morning. Holding hands with her Australian-born wife, Portia, Ellen stopped to sing with fans, chatted to reporters and danced in front of the hundreds of peopl at the airport, before shooting straight off the Sydney's Taronga Zoo. And when we weren't on Ellen watch? We were taking a long, hard look at new pictures of Ryan Gosling (duty calls!), loving how happy and beautiful Diane Kruger was looking at the premiere of her new movie, The Host, and snooping Aussie stars at L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. This week also saw new pictures of a recently-split couple, hot guys on dad duty, pregnant stars, Kate Middleton taking the train and more. It's all in here — check it out now!

Ryan Gosling was on the move in NYC yesterday sporting spectacles and clenching the out-of-print novel El Topo. He may be turning to books now that he's taking a break from acting. Ryan told the Associated Press that he needs to "reassess" and regain "lost perspective," saying, "I need a break from myself as much as I imagine the audience does."

The hiatus doesn't mean we won't be seeing Ryan on the big screen soon since he's currently promoting The Place Beyond the Pines ahead of its March 29 US release (May 9 in Australia). The film also stars his real-life girlfriend, Eva Mendes, and while the couple travelled to NYC last week for a press trip, they weren't spotted together in the Big Apple. Audiences can also anticipate Ryan's Only God Forgives, which is set to be released later this year.

Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes got together for their Place Beyond the Pines NYC press trip on Sunday. The couple was spotted boarding a plane together in LAX, and later they joined up for a press conference shortly after landing in the Big Apple. In addition to Ryan and Eva, The Place Beyond the Pines stars Bradley Cooper, who wasn't with the couple for the first part of their trip, as he was busy hanging out with Josh Brolin and Michael Fassbender in LA. The film follows a former motorcycle stuntman who becomes a bank robber to support his girlfriend and their newborn child. The project holds special significance for Ryan and Eva, as it's where they met. It opens in Australia on May 9.
