This could be total crap, but we have the (on-set) photos to use as evidence, so what the hell? Honestly, that’s probably how this story started – someone at The Sun was sifting through the thousands of photos coming out of Woody Allen’s Parisian film shoot and they noticed that hey, Rachel McAdams and Owen Wilson are both kind of single right now, right? Why not? Why aren’t they boning? Thus, a tabloid story was born. And seriously, why not? It wouldn’t hurt either of them: he’s got issues and she’s kind of boring (meaning she’s not very tabloid-friendly because she keeps her private life pretty locked-down). Stranger things have happened:
OWEN WILSON and co-star RACHEL McADAMS are becoming more than just colleagues, according to sources on the set of their new movie Midnight In Paris.
Funnyman Owen and Rachel, who appeared in GUY RITCHIE’s Sherlock Holmes, have been openly flirting between takes on WOODY ALLEN’s new project, due out next year.
It must be said Owen’s new lady friend is a dead ringer for his ex, KATE HUDSON.
An onlooker said: “After one scene at a flea market in St Ouen outside Paris, Owen was playing with her hair and being really affectionate. Even for a pair of luvvies, it was very flirtatious. The gossip on set is that they are an item off screen.”
Owen deserves a break. The Zoolander star suffered serious depression and even tried to take his own life after he split up with Kate in 2007. Kate must have a thing for men with big hooters. Owen’s got a tremendous conk and she’s now dating generously nostrilled MATT BELLAMY from MUSE.

Was The Sun dude drunk when he wrote this? “Hooters”? I think he means “honkers” because I’ve never heard an English person refer to anyone’s nose as a “hooter” before. Does that really happen? Also: Rachel is a “dead ringer” for Kate Hudson? Yeah, maybe if you’re a drunk Englishman who refers to one’s nose as a “hooter”. Tut, tut, crumpets, pip, pip, cheerio, etc. My opinion: Rachel is totally prettier than Kate. And I tend to think she’s too smart to mess with Owen, but hey, he could be fun for a fling. Maybe he could loosen her up a bit?

Completely agree with you on the weird British-ized tabloid descriptions (“Owen’s got a tremendous conk” really?! that’s some crazy slang)
And if Rachel McAdams is a dead ringer for Kate Hudson, than I’m the Queen of England lol. She’s about a 1000% prettier, and Canadian too (like me!)
I don’t see it either. Love Rachel McAdems and her work, hope she finds a great guy.
McAdams is way prettier than Kate Hudson.
and yes, some Brits (I think it might be a geographical thing) do refer to noses as “hooters”.
A hooter is used sometimes to describe a big nose alright, although honker is also, this is in ireland too…also agree, Rachel is nothing like Kate, she’s by far prettier than Kate
She’s very pretty, but I think his schnoze should leave her be, he’s got big issues.
Rachel is well educated and much more refined than Kate! I like them both, although I dont agree with Kates bed hopping in front of her son. Rachel is classy, Kate-not so much.
Rachel is WAY Way WAY prettier than Kate and a better actress Id like to add.
oooooh, pretty couple! It would be nice if this was true as I think she’d be a good influence on He With The Glorious Flaxen Mane. 😀
A hooter is a perfectly common, if a little bit outdated, slang for nose. I’ve never heard honker though for nose, in either Britain or Ireland, outside of the line “honking great hooter” (which could be Monty Python, not sure). I’ve heard honkers for certain parts of the female form though.
And the term “drunk Sun writer” is a bit of a tautology 😉 Especially as Rachel definitely looks nothing like Kate Hudson (I do think she looks a little like Jennifer Garner though)
Love them both! And I loved them working together in Wedding Crashers, they were great. I can’t quite see them actually dating though.
For the love of God – NOOOOOO. I hope Rachel has better sense than to hook up with O.W. Ugh.
Rachel is prettier, talented and more classy than Kate. Owen is not cute and I’ve never really understood his appeal. That being said, once you’ve had the Gosling I feel like there are very few places to go but down. I wish they would get back together. I don’t get invested in Hollywood couples but I just like them both and like together.
i am with everyone else on rachel > kate… i mean, come on! plus i love that she keeps her private life private [though it means having to hear more about artists i could care less about]!
Mairead, I was thinking of Grandfather’s line in “A Hard Day’s Night”…
“he can’t help having a hideous great hooter”, in regard to Ringo.
Sweet Rachel wouldn’t touch him with a ten-foot pole covered in disinfectant.
It was rumored that she ended it with Ryan Gosling because of his occasional drug use so WHY on Earth would she hook up with Owen (same problems only magnified)?
But you’re right about the p.r. angle – someone in Wilson’s camp calls in the story anonymously (publicity). A denial (from Wilson’s camp – there’s his name again) is then issued (more publicity), and ALL on the same day the trailer for Wilson’s upcoming James L. Brooks movie hit the net.
When your star can’t do talk shows or give profile interviews anymore, rumors of fake romances are what’s left.
love owen…find him sexy and charming…also love that voice 🙂
Oh my Lord I can’t believe someone said she’s a dead ringer for Kate Hudson! Let’s hope and pray Rachel doesn’t try to take her own life now.
OF COURSE! They worked together in “Wedding Crashers,” where they were both adorable and had nice, intimate moments on film.
Great couple, and you KNOW it’s on!
Not even close to being a deadringer for Hudson. McAdams is beautiful and classy while Kate is a used up, ugly, walking STD.
i had to read this twice before i realized the tabloids were talking about rachel being a dead ringer for kate. um, no…totally different faces. i think rachel’s a good actress and there is something about owen i really like. he has had a rough few years and he deserves a decent relationship. i don’t see them together, though.
Tremendous conk…he isn’t nicknamed the Butterscotch Stallion for nothing!
I like Rachel, she should be a lot more famous then she is. Owen’s cool & funny but I can’t see them together. But you never know…
I hope like hell this isn’t true. I love RM and do not see her with OW.
Oh god no! This girl is too smart to hook up with this loser. He has serious problems.
Blind and drunk! Rachel is so much prettier, has more class, and more cred than Kate!
I hope this story is just that, because I would much rather see her with any one of the guys from the Hot-Man-Buffet!
The writer of that story had to be smashed, because no, of course Rachel and Kate look nothing alike. But why that must lead into Kate-bashing, I don’t understand…
Anyway, I really like both Rachel and Owen and look forward to seeing whatever film they’re working on. If they are hooking up, good for them. Why not? They’re both young, attractive (IMO) and apparently single. No reason not to have some fun.
I SO doubt this. OW is a mental case. RM is an actress who is absolutely adamant about her privacy. They’ve worked together before, with no reported sparks. Also… ” (RM)is a dead ringer for his ex, KATE HUDSON”. Um, ….no. Not even close.
A hooter? The British might want to find a different name for that. They do realize here in the US Hooters is an infamous fast food place with girls that serve patrons in short shorts and tight tank tops?
When I read the word “conk” for the first time, I totally read “cock”.
