#eva-mendes

Eva Mendes set off a social-media firestorm last week when she blamed divorce on women wearing sweatpants. Not to worry—beau Ryan Gosling chimed in to defend his girlfriend from Twitter trolls. In our latest installment of “I Yahoo’d Myself,” the actress and New York & Company fashion designer sets the record straight about her comment: “I thought I was being funny! I’m trying to sell dresses!” She even tries to get Yahoo Style’s Nick Axelrod into one of her floral designs. Other than that? We talk baby Esmeralda, Instagram, Carmen Miranda, and, for some reason, there’s tickling, pathos, and a lot of blood. 

Watch the video above, and be sure to check out our “I Yahoo’d Myself” episodes with La La Anthony, Gigi Hadid, and Kelly Osbourne.

Ryan Gosling’s directorial debut is a total downer. The reviews have been far from glowing and the subject matter — a struggling single mom, played by Christina Hendricks, living in a bankrupt-like city — even more somber. But during the film’s premiere at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, a fan brought a little love. 

After Lost River was screened, the cast participated in a question and answer session. When Gosling was onstage, a woman got up to seemingly pose an inquiry in regards to the movie but instead popped an entirely different question. 

Heather McKay stood in front of a packed exhibition hall and asked her girlfriend of 11 years, Susan Dion, to marry her. McKay told the audience that after two years of long distance, the pair were finally together and wanted it to be for good this time around. She said: “I want the rest of my life to be with you,” Dion responded with “Yes!” and cue the “awws.” 

McKay, elated and oh so polite, apologized for the interruption and let Gosling as well as co-stars Eva Mendes and Saoirse Ronan get back to the dark subject matter at hand.

Happy Valentine?s Day! Watch Your Favorite Stars Fall in Love On-Screen

Finding a pair of actors who can simulate romantic chemistry on the big screen is a tough task, but as the above video shows, movie casting directors do such a good job that they also end up serving as accidental match-makers.

Some of the greatest Hollywood romances have blossomed right in front of our eyes, including our greatest modern big-star love story, that of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who met on the set of Mr. and Mrs. Smith and, despite trying to kill one another on-screen, fell for each other in real life.
