Sometimes a post just comes together. Like, there will be new photos to go with an interesting piece in one of the tabloids, plus another little tabloid report online, and all of it fits together so well. Such is the case with this story – these are new photos of Amanda Seyfried and Ryan Phillippe out and about in LA yesterday. Ryan and Amanda have been dating for three months – they first got together on Halloween (we think). So, it’s come for the moment when tabloids start gushing about how it’s true love and how he’s considering a proposal, all of that jazz. There are several things wrong about this relationship though: first of all, Amanda is an in-demand, cusp-of-A-lister, one of the hardest working of her peers. Ryan is a dude in his mid-30s whose latest career move was MacGruber. So… Amanda is in need of an upgrade, boyfriend-wise. Beyond that, the only thing wrong with Amanda and Ryan is how boring they’ve been for three months. There are no scandals around them. It’s rough (for me)!
Ryan Phillippe may have earned a bad-boy rep, partying throughout his marriage to Reese Witherspoon, but three months into his romance with Amanda Seyfried, the actor is decidedly low-key.
“They spend a lot of time at his house, just watching films and making food together,” a source tells Us Weekly of Phillippe, 36, and Seyfried, 25.
“They’ve settled into a comfortable routine already.”
Next step for Seyfried? Getting to know his two kids with Witherspoon, Ava and Deacon. Meanwhile, “he’s totally charmed her,” the source says of the actor, who visits Seyfried on the set of Now, her thriller with Justin Timberlake. “It’s nice they’re in such a happy place.”

So… they’re just a boring couple doing boring-couple things. Sounds nice and pleasant. But wait, is that really who Ryan is? Just a dude who gets to bone a 25 year old blonde within a boring relationship? Of course not! Ryan’s wandering eye is famous. And this morning, People Magazine had this interesting little piece:
The usually reserved Leonardo DiCaprio was pretty animated during his night out at Trousdale in L.A. There with a group of buddies, including Chace Crawford and Sebastian Stan, the actor puffed on a cigar and danced along to the music, lighting up especially when Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair” was played. At the next table: Ryan Phillippe, who was surrounded with his group of friends.

Okay, beyond Leo whipping his hair (hilarious), the bit about Ryan caught my eye. So… he was at a hot club with his bros. I’m not saying he shouldn’t be allowed some guy-time. But it certainly feels like he was trolling for club strange, right? Also: Haha, Leo didn’t want to hang with Ryan. Men can be such bitches.

He is such a douche. I think he’ll do his best to treat her like shit. Lower her self esteem and sabotage her career before he moves on to another even younger girl. Men like him are so predictable.
Is Ryan in that Lincoln Lawyer movie with Matthew McConaughey?
I don’t see where a man, at a club with friends necessarily is trolling for strange. Are men or women not allowed out for a night with their friends, apart from their S/O?
That is Ryan’s m.o., right? Wasn’t he out trolling while dating Abbie Cornish and that’s why they broke up?
He seems to be a commitment-phobe and Amanda is too young and talented for him. Even Leo didn’t want to hang with him.
He’s a douche but a good actor.
He’s a douche but hot. She always looks like she is dirty and needs a shower. Eggh.
They are both wear the same pained ginnifer goodwin constipated expression.
I just watched him in Gosford Park the other night.
Perfectly cast as an a##hole. I really don’t think he was acting.
Anyone who thinks he can’t act should watch Breach. He is really good in that movie, and I think if he hadn’t had that scandal with Reese right before it came out it would have been a hit. That said he is still a douche.
See i have theory that young starlets are after Phillipe because he’s got the magic (d*ck) touch. Seriously every woman he touches ends up with a better career than him. I think that dating him is a right of passage for young up and coming blondes in Hollywood.
Besides in the comments i have read about Amanda, she doesn’t seem to ever take her relationships that seriously, like yeah were together its cool but she’s no J.Love thinking every guy is “the one.” She seems to have a healthy view of relationships for a woman of 25. I just hope that carries over to this Ryan situation, I agree with the commenters above, I think he is always cast as the jerk because he is one.
To me she looks like she’s crying or upset in the above pics.
But then again I look like that half the time, with my allergies, so /shrug.
I think you’re reaching Kaiser. I’m not a fan of his or anything but the guy seems to be a serial monagamist.
Meh. I can’t muster up the energy to care all that much about him and Amanda. Cute girl, decent actress but boring.
AHHAHAHHA. I can’t picture it, Leo dancing on whip my hair! XD I really can’t..
Ryan goes out with the guys every Thursday night he’s in town. Been doing it for years. He’s not trolling for women. You don’t think that would be part of the story if he was? These two sound like an ordinary low key couple at the beginning of their relationship. Maybe it’ll go somewhere, maybe it won’t.
Amanda is on the “cusp-of-A-lister” status???
Anyway she has the worst taste in men!
they both bore me.
Don’t care.
“They spend a lot of time at his house, just watching films and making food together,”
Bet they are always at home smoking the ganj, keke! He’s known to be a pothead and she has stated that she suffers from anxiety…good match? Just look at their puffy-after-bong-binge-eyes.
meh. hes a douche. contrary to popular belief on here, shes no angel either. they deserve each other.
I like him; he seems like a really good Dad. Why are people so down on him? Reese is a controlling type A and it just didn’t work for him. Why is that so terrible?
You know what’s boring? 10 minutes of watching her monotone expressionless line delivery in the movies she renders not worth watching. At least he can act. Beyond that, who cares?
bored no, envious of her career yes.
Somebody just posted on here that he’s a douche but a good actor. Um…good actor? You have low standards my friend.
The title of this post is funny because I have seen her on interviews and thought, she’s so pretty but so boring. He seems to sulk all the time and is dull. Maybe it will last.
