According to Hollyscoop Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling might be back onsies. The Canadian-born actors are best known for his lead roles opposite each other in The Notebook (we suppose that’s true). The couple split up back in late 2007 and forced us to place our cute couple hopes into the shaky hands of Reese Witherspoon and Jake Gyllenhaal. But now that there is evidence (inside sources and eye witnesses, the usual rabble) that they may be getting back together we can backburner those dudes.

In reference to their inexplicable (and unexplained) breakup Ryan Gosling was quoted as saying, “The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin’ and we called it a draw.” Despite being quite vague, that’s a pretty good non-answer. We’re guessing the real answer is a lot less exciting. Maybe their schedules had too many conflicts, maybe their reps thought they would be more compelling to audiences as singletons, maybe they just wanted to see other famous people naked (and directly above, below, or behind them). Who knows anymore? We’re just amped that these 2 crazy Canucks are possibly giving it another go. Seriously, if 2 attractive, congenial, mild-tempered Canadians can’t make it then what chance do strange-looking, bossy, bi-polar Americans have (like that Howard Stern guy and his fiancé Beth Ostrosky). We can only hope (and pray) that this isn’t 1 of those last hurrahs before a permanent and irreversible break.

Why do these 2 seem like a way better fit than Owen Wilson and Kate Hudson? Or is that just us?

Damn, dude. The US Track & Field team cannot seem to get it going. First Tyson Gay falls apart in the 100 M, though no one may be able to touch that Bolt guy. Then Lolo Jones finally met a hurdle she didn’t like (in the 100 M Hurdles) and displayed her devastation on the track after finishing. And Sanya Richards had a huge lead in the 400 M (a lap around the track) but tweaked her hammy and staggered to a Bronze finish. Following Tuesday’s events the US Olympic track squad had a disappointing total of 3 Golds in Track & Field. We need another Michael Phelps, America.

Sanya Richards stated that she was “more than snakebit” by the experience per ESPN. The Worldwide Leader In Sports also discussed what Richards has had to go through to get to this point. She had an immune system disease called Behcet’s that left her with lesions and sores on her body and in her mouth last year. But, she worked hard and persevered. And even got engaged, check out NBC’s video.

For those of you who aren’t football fans, that nice guy she got engaged to is New York Giant Aaron Ross. You may know Aaron Ross as the starting corner of the defending Super Bowl champions, but a year before that he was a football stud at the University of Texas (hook ‘em, Horns), where he and Sanya met. He earned the Thorpe Award for best defensive back and a National Title while in college.

It’s kind of incredible when 2 spectacular athletes get together. Everyone’s always like, “Dude, can you imagine what their kids are going to be like?” Possibly hyper-competitive and possibly spoiled. But before you even get that far, the real question is; how do they make it work? Primetime athletics (particularly individual sports like sprinting or an individualistic football position like corner) are grueling physically and mentally.

A lot of big time athletes have too much going on to ’sacrifice’ their downtime to support someone else in such an engaging occupation, particularly when they’re as young as Aaron (25) and Sanya (23). Young enough for another run at the Gold in the 2012 London Games. Judging by ESPN’s Sweat Spot video (below), they’ve figured a few things out. The couple that sweats together gets together?

What the what? Chris Kattan of Saturday Night Live fame was recently married. Pretty cool, or so we thought. But then 8 weeks after getting hitched Corky Romano goes and gets himself separated according to E!Online. Don’t get us wrong, 8 weeks is a long time for anyone to do anything or anyone… if they’re 14. All the way back in late June we thought that these 2 stood a reasonable chance of making a real go of it. It wasn’t like they got married on an emotional bender in Vegas (we’re looking at you, Peaches Geldof). The 2 had been dating for 3 years and engaged for a year and a half. What gives, mang? We suppose any 8-week period in any relationship can cause breakup (hint, hint: it’s usually the last 8 weeks) but we know for a fact that it’s not supposed to be the first 8 weeks of the marriage. We hope that it was a long ceremony because it sure was a short honeymoon (thanks, it was more or less from Spaceballs). Maybe Chris Kattan and, eh, Sunshine Tutt will let cooler heads prevail. Or that their whole relationship was just a goof.

In other nearly inexplicable news, the saga of Kate Hudson and Owen Wilson may be continuing. Last time we checked they were at a pretty good breaking up point; they dated, had a breakup, he kirked out, he recovered, they dated again, he more or less showed her the door, and then she dated his sorta idol, Lance Armstrong. That is a full on-again, off-again cycle. This opera does not require a fifth act. The patrons of the arts have had enough. If anything, let’s just tack an epilogue, “They were polite to each other when they saw one another for the rest of their lives. Everyone died 80 years later.”

Female First reports that old Kate Hudson has been blowing up Owen Wilson’s phone since her split with the world’s 2nd greatest American (now behind Michael Phelps). Let’s just put this puppy to bed, aight?

What do we know? Maybe they’re meant to be together but this feels a lot like that relationship in Say Anything (not Diane Court and Lloyd Dobler). Corey’s a songwriter and guitarist and Joe’s the coolest dude in town. So, Joe and Corey breakup and Corey writes “65 songs… 65. They’re all about you. They’re all about pain.” One of them is titled “Joe lies (when he cries).” Yet Joe continues to torment with Corey telling her, “I want to get back together, Mimi is gonna go to college and I’m gonna be alone and I’m gonna break up with her before she leaves, have sex with me.” We’re not saying that Kate Hudson is Joe or that Owen is Corey or that Lance Armstrong is Mimi, but, it’s worth debating.

Take ‘em home, Peter Gabriel.

Jeepers creepers. No one knows when it’s time to letting sleeping dogs lie, do they? OK, so you know how Jennifer Aniston was totally into John Mayer (honestly, who among us hasn’t been there?) and then things went south? Great. You’re most of the way there. While there is all matter of conjecture about what caused the split (some gossip hounds think that the twin billing courtesy of Angelina Jolie was partly to blame), there even appears to be some dissenting opinions over who dumped whom. MSNBC has an article suggesting that it was Jennifer Aniston distributing the Heisman to John Mayer rather than the opposite as previously thought.

The Scoop’s ‘inside source’ says, “(Mayer’s) childish behavior only confirms she was right to dump him. Now he’s acting like a spoiled child. Expect Jen to behave like a lady.” Obviously, this comes in reference to John Mayer’s impromptu (or was it de facto? Either way, fait accompli.) post-breakup press conference. See TMZ vid.

Uh, so we’re not sure what the ‘inside source’ saw, but it sort of seems like the paps were all up on John Mayer’s balls and he just wanted to say 1 thing and settle this whole business. He didn’t get shitty or anything. Hmm. Maybe talking at all was part of the problem. More crazy talk on MSNBC, if you care to check it out.

Not to belabor the point (hey, too late) and not to sound like a Mayer-apologist but what about this guy bothers people so much? He’s a touch smarmy, but that can’t be it, many stars are far smarmier. Is it his ubiquity? Is it the standup stuff? Is it the blog? Sure, he likes attention but who among us doesn’t? Seth Rogen has a few of these traits going for him and people seem to love that dude pretty unreservedly. It may forever remain a mystery. Any thoughts out there, web?

Don’t get us wrong, we like Donnie Wahlberg’s work but this being news is because today is a slooooow news day. Things had better pick up after Labor Day, we almost posted a picture of Adrian Grenier seducing some girls on a beach with the time-testing technique acoustic guitar d-baggery. Yeah, slow.

At any rate, the Donnie Wahlberg divorce is due to “irreconcilable differences” per the Houston Chronicle. Evidently, wife Kim Fey Wahlberg had enough of hearing about how sweet this New Kids On The Block (NKOTB) reunion is going to be (we guess). The Band Of Brothers star was married to Kim Fey Wahlberg back in 1999 and the couple has 2 boys who are 15 and 7. That can’t be right, how could they have a 15-year old son if they were only married 9 years ago?

The NKOTB reunion tour couldn’t have come at a better time for Wahlberg. A lot of divorcing dudes need 1 thing and 1 thing only, dozens of adoring fans in their mid to late 30s who think that making it with their old favorite pop star will make them feel 17 again. Perfect timing. Almost too good, really.

Fun fact: Did you know that Donnie Wahlberg wrote the Marky Mark classic “Good Vibrations?” What if we learned that Donnie turned down the lead role in Boogie Nights? Mark Wahlberg might have to start making some nicer things happen to Johnny Drama to repay these old karmic favors.
