I’ve been thinking for a little while now that Ryan Reynolds and his team have been pushing certain stories in People Magazine and other tabloids. It just seems like so many of the magazines are getting the same kinds of quotes from “sources” close to the couple – stuff about how Scarlett Johansson was “too young” to take marriage seriously, and how Ryan wanted to work on their marriage while ScarJo was ready to cut and run. This new Us Weekly story is in the same vein of “pity poor Ryan Reynolds, he just wants a nice girl who understands him, not a dangerous, immature slut like ScarJo.” Which just makes me think of my general rule for celebrity gossip: if someone is pushing a version that hard, you know the opposite is true.
Ryan Reynolds didn’t feel like such a superhero when the cameras weren’t rolling on the set of Green Lantern, which was shot last spring.
An insider on the comic book flick tells the new Us Weekly that its hunky star, 34, was “open on set that he and Scarlett [Johansson] were having problems.”
Just a year and half into his marriage with 26-year-old Johansson, Reynolds “would say that she treated him badly,” the insider explains. “It never seemed like she made him a priority.”
After UsMagazine.com broke the news Dec. 14, the couple confirmed their split in a public statement — and Reynolds is now “beyond sad and depressed,” another pal says.
Iron Man 2 actress Johansson, meanwhile, is less broken up about the situation. “She was disconnected and disaffected” about the split, the source says. “It was harsh.”
For much more on what led to the split and how Reynolds and Johansson are coping, pick up the new Us Weekly, on stands Tuesday.

SOB. She never made him a priority! She isn’t depressed enough! She’s SO HARSH. Honestly, my respect for ScarJo grows by the day. I hope she sheds the more low-key personality she was trying on for his marriage and she comes out of it looking glamorous and hardcore. I like that ScarJo hasn’t sent her team out there to push stories about how “devastated” and “sad” she is – and it’s becoming clearer and clearer that ScarJo was in fact the one to dump Ryan. And does anyone else think that his pride is what is really hurting? POOR RYAN. Gerbil-faced jagoff.

what a whiner…he needs to grow a pair asap.
That girl used to be so pretty. Now she’s got the dead-eyed vacant Hollywood starlet thing going on. Probably drugging, too, given her weight loss.
I think she’s nuts. He is so F-N Hot!!!!
she has the best cans in the biz
oh. poor baby do you need a bottle. good god men are such wimps these days
I still love Ryan, sorry!!!
don’t know much about this, but she seems very cold and unaffected in general. Can’t understand how anyone could develop deep feelings for her eventhough she looks ok.
Didn’t he treat Alanis in a similarly jerky way. This guy is so far from sexy People needs to take their title back and give it to Jon Hamm.
After observing Mr. Reynold’s recent, persistent manipulations of the media, I no longer wonder why Ms. Johannson has looked irritated and exhausted since she married.
Better luck next time, Scarlet.
babyman.
I don’t think Ryan or Scarlett have anything to do with these stories. No body cared enough about their relationship to take sides to begin with, why would Ryan’s camp start a smear campaign against Scarlett? I think everybody can look at that relationship and see that neither one of them was right for each other and they were gonna split sooner or later. Its no ones fault. US Weekly is full of sh*t. I like Ryan and Scarlett both and I think it was amicable split.
Boo freaking hoo. What a whining little creep. No wonder she bailed. Who wants to be married to an over-grown baby?
My theory is that he and Blake Lively probably hooked up during Green Lantern, Scarjo gave him the boot and now that he and Boobs are about to start the big publicity tour for the movie, they would like to hook up again but Boobs reputation can’t take another hit, so the studio throws Ryan Gosling into the mix and Ryan Gerbilface plays the dumped husband, and if the movie is a hit- Boobs dumps (MY) Ryan and hooks up publicly with Gerbilface. ANd they live happily ever after with a house full of squinty eyed children.
Why can’t people learn to keep their mouths shut. Divorce quietly and move on. It’s called a “starter marriage”, not the ongoing crisis for the tabloids. Give it a break!
Sexiest Man Alive my ass. Beady little eyes. Crooked nose. Whiny & pensive. BLECH!! I’ll take Scarlett.
Team ScarJo
they worked too much to stay together
@Gigohead….I agree…they need to shut up. The more Ryan and his pr people talk, the worse he looks.
Sounds like 2 immature people who didnt know each other well enough to get married, did anyhow and gee guess what happened? It didnt last – shocking!
He sounds like a whiny, needy baby.
Maybe he should find some girl with no life or career of her own, so he can be her only priority.
I think they’re both a huge couple of conceited jerks and should stay together because of it. ;-P
Remember at Comic-Con much earlier in the year where Scarlett & Ryan had a fight and he refused to go because he was pouting? Scarlett, ever the professional, showed up for the event. And the Studio was SO pissed off at Ryan that he was ‘dressed down’ and ordered to comply with appearances in the future. There was also another story where Hugh Jackman was giving autographs to everyone after he and Ryan got off some plane somewhere and Ryan refused to sign any autographs. D-Bag extraordinaire! He’s the immature one.
“if someone is pushing a version that hard, you know the opposite is true.”
I agree with you completely Kaiser, that happened to me before when the guy was a complete jerk to me. He started telling all kinds of lies and saying I did the things that he did to me! Just cowardice!
Totally Team ScarJo. I bet he expected her to give up her career after they got married
Is it just me, or does her face look a little posh spice-ish in that bottom pic? Anyway, yeah, ITA with this post. I’m on her side.
“It never seemed like she made him a priority.”
Why SHOULD he be a priority? Shouldn’t their relationship have been the priority?
ME ME ME ME ME!
It wasn’t his fault he’s a nice guy I know because Dr Drew said so.
@Kaiser..
This is my favorite…
Which just makes me think of my general rule for celebrity gossip: if someone is pushing a version that hard, you know the opposite is true.
I so agree on this one. Whatever side is all out in front making sure they are the ones that need the pity.. something is up.. Think about a few other celebrity dramas..and this is so true. Time show all truths..
I have to be honest. Don’t really care for Ryan. I don’t get his appeal. He strikes me as a shape shifter. He is whatever you want him to be at the time. Like Playdough.. I like Scarlett. But she has this above it all attitude. and unfortunately she has not accomplished enough to carry it well.
Ryan sounds like Nick Lachey.. Whoa is me & never take responsability he wasn’t perfect either.Scar will now be trash talked to the ultimate because these guys per media are just the greatest. PR sometimes sucks..
Ryan, the male Long-whoria.
Ugh. He’s a butterface…
Team ScarJo for keeping it classy!
People mag must be scraping the bottom of the barrel. This guy is about as sexy as a turnip.
@Jezi – me too!!! Team Ryan all the way!
Good grief he needs to shut up.
He has officially stepped over to whiney b*tchland.
No one even seems to care that the marriage is over. Including Scarlett.
Even the tabloids seem completely disinterested in it.
And why is that?
They don’t like him either. 🙂
@Kaiser, love you for seeing thru the proverbial wool over the eyes !! i think you are so onto it, this is SO true generally speaking.
“Which just makes me think of my general rule for celebrity gossip: if someone is pushing a version that hard, you know the opposite is true.”
I’m still confussed as to how he was voted sexist man of the year, far from it. I dont think his face would stop a clock or anything that drastic, but he is just not all that to me.
Boo-hoo-hoo! Who came up with “Gerbilface”?-what a perfect nickname! What did she ever see in this guy?
Sounds like 2 immature people who didnt know each other well enough to get married, did anyhow and gee guess what happened? It didnt last – shocking!
=========
Ding Ding Ding.
If she looks like Posh, it’s probably because they’re frequently getting outside help *wink*–wait, not ‘help’, a fucktonne of plastic surgery. Compassion though, walk with me…
Celebrities aren’t lucky like us in they don’t experience the natural early adulthood nose-to-cheekbone migration bestowed upon us. It’s a cause of great embarassment, as it should be as inevitable as menarche or an arctic typhoon. Please don’t question them about their hidden shame, you’ll be opening up old wounds, and not literally.
And don’t cry for Ryan, he’s almost certainly engaged to Dustin Rowles over on Pajiba by now. How many bottles of rye-soaked poutine and night-vision butter tarts is it appropriate to send an American recipient? Are tarsands-flavoured maple caribou still big with you guys?
If this is coming from his team and it’s true, then I think she should lose him. He seems like he has a huge ego, and who wants to spend their life catering to someone’s ego?
Why Team Scarjo?
or Team Ryan?
We don’t know if he said this or not, or if it’s his fault or her?
These are magazines that write every 3 months that Angelina & Brad are separating (having babies, going back to Aniston, you name it) so why believe this?
Totally Team ScarJo
He and his team have been talking to the rags non-stop since they announce their split! How immature! She has not said one word against him- CLASS ACT
He was a jerk to Alanis so I find it suprising that people thought he’d changed.
everybody knew he could do better, why making these bad PR? it only makes him look like a jerk
What goes around comes around. I remember when he left Alanis she was devastated. I always felt bad for her. The tables have now turned. Tough sh*t Ryan…suck it up and move on.
Maybe she wouldn’t talc his bum or burp him after meals. Let’s not pillory Babey Huey just yet.
@Jo-Mama-I have aged normally, but please explain. I may have blanked out on past body and face developmental issues since I acquired my middle aged paunch and it’s all I see when I look in the mirror. Even if I had the money, I would not touch it-liposuction very painful and risky!
Team No One. I hate that “team” shit.
I still love him. He is being a baby kind of. Your are right. Its his pride that has been crushed. Along with his pair apparently.
LOL @ Liana, and that’s why your avatar is a lone and obviously cranky goldfish 😉 Really, I’m not dissing. I totally cracked up!
@ original kate
babyman.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
lmao! super funny & on point. you must also get the impression that while hot, ryan seems ‘blah’ with a side of ‘meh’ in the sack.
scarjo looks like the type who wants a dude that will grab those tatas and take her to the rodeo if ya know what i’m sayin’. lol 😉
I used to like looking at his body because he does take good care of it; his face-blah no biggie but lately he just seems like such a d-bag nothing about him is attractive anymore!
Maybe she got tired of telling him how good his abs are and how she had nothing to do his sudden fame
She can do better
Sure, he’s good-looking but in such a bland, boring way. Seems like his personality is about the same.
Thanks RONYC, now I humming the “Off to the Rodeo…” song. They’ll need to add a verse for Ry. “Well it’s 40-below, Ry lost ScarJo, he had to cry cuz he can’t do the Rodeo!”
@Bill Hicks – Yes. I am a rogue lonely and bitter goldfish in search of a team to call my own. Team Goldshark!
i told you all he is gay! Shut up already you big fat MAN BABY!
Ha ha, gerbil faced jagoff! Awesome.
He wanted to tie the young girl down with children so he could ‘own’ her. Boo hoo. Go find someone else. Don’t see the appeal with this guy. His eyes are too close together and he’s got a fake smile.
Completely agree with: Liz and nok.
What the f*ck is up with her eyes!?
Is he a whiny little bitch? Sure seems that way.
Hasn’t it occured to anyone that maybe, just maybe, the tabloids are quoting (or misquoting) each other, rather than Ryans team smearing Scarlett? I don’t really get his award for sexy either, but scarlett gives off the vibe of being the passive-aggressive b!tch who always gets her way or else she makes you miserable. And I don’t think it’s whiney to want your spouse to make you a priority-that’s actually pretty normal. Wanting to be made a priority isn’t the same thing as demanding that she cater to his every whim.
hey one of the mags cover said ryan was with sandra bullock! where did i see that? one of the posts on this site maybe? or dlisted?
that would be scandalous-but also not surprising…i thought they had good chemistry in that lame-o movie the proposal…
All I know is that he did not deserve to be People’s Sexiest Man Alive. What a joke although it makes sense in that he had stuff to promote and the studio can apparently buy you a Sexiest Man title.
I just can’t high five SJ for this. She married this vain, veal-hearted douche in the first place so erm yeah, shame! Props for not wasting TOO much time on him though. Onwards and upwards.
I totally agree #8 (Embee).
RR is just making himself look like the whiny bitch he is.
Team ScarJo.
Now, I officially hate him – as opposed to not really caring for him which is what I’ve basically thought about him.
He didn’t deserve Sandra Bullock and he didn’t deserve ScarJo
Yes, Tara, his eyes are too close together which makes him squirrely looking.
We barely knew they were married. If only Ryan could let the divorce proceed that way.
How in D hell was this lump called Sexiest Man Alive? That mag was right on with JFK Jr., but the rest of the picks sure have been hit and miss.
Lol @ Liana, I am Team No One as well. No one really knows what goes on in relationships behind closed doors.
Ryan is a prawn- nice built body with a below average face.
So he’s squirrelly looking…I like that. Squirrel’s are related to rats aren’t they? i think this guy is gay. It’s funny how he hooks up with a young lady, thinks he’s going to tie her down with his bullshit, she revolts…like any self-respecting young woman who has a life to lead would do; now he’s complaining about her lack of attention? In the meantime they’re having dinner, laughing about how they fooled everyone. Ryan can now return to New Orleans to be with his gay lover. Ha!
“It never seemed like she made him a priority.”
Hands down this is the key to any woman retaining her sanity and independence. The minute you start making his wants, needs and happiness a priority, yours go right out the window and what began as joyful sacrifices you made in the name of compromise and love become taken for granted and evolve into expected behavior and all of a sudden you’re an uncooperative bitch because you have the nerve to stand up for something you want that is important to you.
I don’t know what the key to a successful relationship is but negating your own wants and desires for the sake of those of your SO is definitely the key to failure. As the sign in my sister’s kitchen reads: If momma ain’t happy, ain’t nobody happy.
Joke ! Aaah!
This couple was a terrible joke ! Meeting, marriage and broke up were jokes too! Friends with benefits ? Joke too.
I didn’t see anything…no love embraces, no wedding photos, no rings, no blabla bla love speech or whatever.
Come on boys, turn them off.
Pathetic!
@REALIST: …And now your mind too shall become cosmically aware of the celebrity beauty secrets that your mechanic doesn’t want you to know. Please be careful with this information however, as it IS a true conspiracy of silence and chemical peels that goes right to the top and I really mean the TOP. I’m talking Dominique Swain, Marley Shelton and Lolita Davidovitch, levels of celebrity power so you’ve got to be safe, I don’t want to find out that you’ve been the recipient of a Gilooly Kiss. Alright, I’m gonna lay down the science: So, you know how we in general public stop aging after 25, and then at age 52 reverse age by a fortnight and our bra sizes leap up by three full cups? It’s nature and Pazuzu’s way of compensating us for our ‘nobody’ status. Celebrities–those unfortunate gilded cage beasts–are forced to ply genetic blessings from the malignant talons of biology in order to bestow upon himself that which God never granted. But biology is a horrible and needy 24k whore-cricket, so when she cries out ‘let it begin’, you had better hope that you’re good at evading nets and swords because she is fixed upon your imminent ruin. And don’t even start with the anti-aging pankration, it’s…bad stuff. Now, we’re always on about the vanity of of celebrities, but we mustn’t discount their overwhelming laziness (see above), so fighting with honour stays put inside the sword and sandal genre. So, how is it that they’re so frequently ‘refreshed’ when being caught in the nightmare of luxury? The luxury pie has too many rubies, they’re scratching my inside situation so much that I won’t even be able to find them in a few days! Alack! This is a secret so don’t let Crazy Rossiter of Crazy Rossiter’s Chicken and Scalpals know that I’m telling you this, because I’ve to truth up these proceedings and I don’t want his goons to pull a Chinatown on me. Overnight growth of cheekbones is now pillowface, nor is a scooped back the cure for a deviated rectum, nor is a newly puffed lip the result of frequent hydration, nor did you relinquish your crow’s feet because they miss the tree, nor are freakishly arched eyebrows a manifestation of your perpetual state of childlike wonder, nor did a little baby with sharp baby fingernails scratch off half of your nose, nor did you just get bustier in order to protect your heart from the slings and arrows of the hater nation.
Pfft, and in the end, they come out looking like freaks half the time. Celebrities, nature’s wooden spoons.
What a crybaby. Never liked the guy and now I know why. It went from: “we have parted as friends and still love each other” to “the bitch done me wrong and now I’m hurting”
He and David Arquette should get together for drinks.
Is it weird that I still think him to be a gay?
of course she was the one who dumped and is clearly more secure as a person than him, i mean whoever is the more weak or coward needs all this team to come speak for them
he has a face of a weak guy, i don’t like him
