Ryan Reynolds gets “flirty” with ScarJo, but he’s hooking up with Charlize Theron

wenn5675095

This morning, Page Six has an interesting little advance article from Life & Style and now L&S has released the full piece to us. Sources claim that soon after Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson’s divorce was finalized, they went out to dinner and ScarJo seemed like she was ready and willing to “give it another go”. Sort of. She was extra flirty!

Six months after their marriage fell apart, Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson were spotted together at an intimate dinner in LA on July 9, Life & Style has exclusively learned.

The two exes dined at Little Dom’s in the Loz Feliz section of LA. The duo arrived together and sat at a secluded booth in the back of the room, a fellow diner tells Life & Style.

“Scarlett was being very flirty with him, staring into his eyes and listening very intently to everything he was saying,” says the eyewitness. “The way Ryan looked at her, you could tell he still has feelings for her.”

While the couple’s marriage officially ended on July 1, it seems they haven’t closed the book on their relationship just yet. Scarlett quickly moved on with a much older Sean Penn, but the pair called it quits in June.

On their July 9 date, “Scarlett kept pinching Ryan’s cheeks and caressing his face and while they were chatting, Ryan would rub her back periodically,” the eyewitness adds. “Something’s definitely up.”

Ugh. My take on this story is that it probably did go down, maybe a little less touchy-feely, but something like this went down. I think ScarJo was just doing that thing that some girls do – she was making sure that some dude still wants her, even though she threw him over. I think Scarlett got thrown over herself by Sean Penn, and she’s flailing around, trying to act like it wasn’t a huge hit to her ego. That’s how I take it – she’s making herself feel better by making sure she could still have her ex.

Meanwhile, Us Weekly claims that Ryan has a new girlfriend. The woman? CHARLIZE!! Ol’ Rose Boobs Theron is getting on Ryan Reynolds? Bizarre.

All year long, Hollywood watchers have wondered which starlet would snag newly single Ryan Reynolds. Mystery solved!

A source tells the new issue of Us Weekly (out Wednesday) that the Green Lantern star, 34, and Charlize Theron, 35, “have been dating — for months! They’re exclusive, and it’s very hush-hush.”

While the two haven’t been photographed together, a witness noticed Reynolds’ motorcycle at Theron’s home all morning on June 5, then saw the actor exit her house around 3 p.m. — and she left just minutes later.

Has Reynolds (who split from wife Scarlett Johansson last December) found a perfect match?

“They’re both career-focused,” explains the source, “but not in a crazy way.”

For instance, don’t expect to see the stars side-by-side on a red carpet. “She won’t go to an event with him,” the insider says of Theron, who split with love of nine years Stuart Townsend in 2010. “That’s not her style.”

Meanwhile, Reynolds hasn’t completely shut off contact with famous ex Johansson, 26. He and the Iron Man 2 actress were spotted having a cordial dinner last Friday at Little Dom’s in L.A., an observer confirms to Us.

While I kind of like Charlize for her ice-queen persona (she held with it after Nicole Kidman abandoned hers), I think she might be kind of a pill in her personal life, and I’m pretty sure Ryan is as well. Is this a case of two surly personality-types finding true love? Or is it just a hookup situation, nothing serious?

UPDATE: So, I know Lainey said Ryan was in Canada when the alleged ScarJo date went down, but L&S, People Magazine and Us Weekly are all saying it took place, and that there was some touching. The magazines are getting “leaks” from someone’s publicist, so something went down.

    I would much prefer to see him with her than ScarJo…

  2. brin says:

    Who saw this one? At least they’re discreet.

  3. Eve says:

    I don’t think I’ll ever like this dude.

  4. Rhiley says:

    Scar Jo definately can’t be alone. So sad. Regarding Ryan and Charlize, I can definately see them together. They are actually a really good match, I think. Better than Ryan and Scar Jo and a million times better than Scar Jo and that moldy piece of cheese, Sean Penn. However, I think the moldy piece of cheese and Charlize would be the best match of all.

  5. mia girl says:

    @Rhiley “I think the moldy piece of cheese and Charlize would be the best match of all.”

    Ha I just spit up my coffee!

    And actually, ITA!

  6. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    If this is true, upgrade for Ryan, downgrade for Charlize. My guess is that Scarlet is green with envy.

  7. Quest says:

    Scarjo has an itch and needs to scratch it fast. I like the idea of Ryan and Charlize somewhat. Pretty unexpected, I must say, but interesting.

  8. Turtle Dove says:

    I can totally see this going down. Kaiser, you are bang on with the ego assessment, but it has to be a hit in other ways too. Like… people now know that friggin Sean Penn rejected her. She’s supposed to be the cerebral, beautiful muse and she was chucked.

    Maybe she wants to rekindle because of this…? To me, it seems like she might have realized what she gave up. Ryan may seem a bit frosty to some, but I see him as liking the distance between his life and job…. like most of us.

    Ryan and Charlize physically would be gorgeous together. But if Ryan and Scarlett split because of not seeing each other because they worked so much then he’s going to have the same problem with Charlize who is still very much in demand. Plus she’s not the marriage and babies type, which I think he is still.

    If this did happen, I hope Ryan has the common sense not to go back. One time on that merry-go-wheel is enough. Live, learn, and move on.

    Rhiley – lol

  9. Bella says:

    didn’t theron and penn have a thing a year or so ago? i don’t like any of these combinations…i’d like to see reynolds back with alanis morissette…maybe it’s just me…

  10. anjessa says:

    Yes, there was definitely a story about Sean Penn dating Charlize right about the time he first started dating ScarJo. Does Charlize actually want to get back at Scarlett for stealing that dirty old man from her???

  11. WillyNilly says:

    Lainey debunked the Los Feliz dinner since he was in Vancouver that night…

  12. Cherry says:

    I can totally see the Reynolds/Theron thing happening! They’ll make a great couple. Same age, and probably same level of commitment. They both come off as pretty serious people who’d love to settle down with someone, whereas ScarJo was still too young and flirty to be tied down. I’m rooting for them.

  13. cz says:

    i actually think they’d make a good match.

  14. MM says:

    Scarjo and Ryan never happened. Ryan was in Vancouver on July 9th. L&S is making stuff up. http://www.laineygossip.com/Ryan_Reynolds_dating_Charlize_Theron_13jul11.aspx?CatID=0&CelID=0

  15. Devon says:

    WillyNilly is right. Ryan was here in Yaletown that night. Fuck, the one weekend I go home and he hits up 2 of my favorite spots. Then the next day he was at my favorite restaurant in Kits. I actually wanted to go to Local on Sunday, when I got home, but my friends convinced me not to. Ryan’s got great taste in restaurants. The Keg in Yaletown has the sickest rooftop patio and the YBC has the best beer. Local is right across from Kits beach and its gorgeous. Sorry for the gushing but I’m in love with my city.

  16. MJ says:

    Devon – me too! Last month marked my 10th anniversary of living in Vancouver and I still love it, especially once summertime rolls around. Beaches, backcountry camping within a 2-3 hour drive, delicious food… and last night my landlords actually LOWERED my rent by $100 a month, which helps with my one gripe about this city – the high cost of living!

  17. Anonymous says:

    Finally a real blonde, and majorly HOT……… love love love Miss Theron!

    HOT ALERT……..her and Ryan would be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo HOT.

    Miss Piggy (Scar-oink oink-jo) needs to roast on that, then pork off!

  18. Anti-icon says:

    Ok, here’s my 2 cents. Charlize is one of my female crushes. She can do no wrong by me. Ryan Reynolds always seems like a pretty boy to me….and I’m no big ScarJo fan either — she seems like a disempowered female career person. So……….

    beauty prevails. They’re all beautiful and no one has a mug shot yet, right? Carry on with your bad selves. LOL

  19. original kate says:

    what is it about this guy that rubs me the wrong way? he just seems like a total loser.

  20. Devon says:

    MJ, we’ve been here for almost 3 full years after being back and forth from Victoria for a year and I love it more and more everyday. We took the Harbour Air from Victoria on Sunday and I got misty eyed when we came into downtown. The mountains, beaches, lakes, oceans, forests…I honestly don’t think there is a better place on Earth!

  21. Turtle Dove says:

    WillyNilly (11) Phew. So glad. 🙂

    I still like Charlize for him. She’s a real beauty and has talent to spare.

    MJ and Devon you make Vancouver sound amazing. MJ, is it really that expensive to live there? I guess paradise would be. (sigh)

  22. Devon says:

    Turtle Dove, Vancouver is expensive but compared to a lot of other places, it’s not that bad. We just moved down the list of most expensive cities in Canada to live in! Toronto now has that distinction! I live right downtown and it is expensive. However, for us, the convenience of living downtown is worth the extra money. This way, we don’t need a car since everything is so close and transit kicks ass. 20 minutes by train to the airport and everything is basically a $10 cab ride away. Vancouver is paradise and I hate the thought of moving away. From my balcony, I can see the ocean, the North Shore mountains, the beach & the most beautiful city scape, both north and south. I absolutely love it. My husband wants to move to the Silicon Valley (he’s a programmer) and I get panic attacks at just the thought of leaving!

  23. Turtle Dove says:

    Wow. Sounds fantastic. Out of curiosity I went on-line and looked at maps and pictures. There are a lot of ‘areas’ in the city (Kitsilano, West End, etc.), what’s the best area of the city to live in in your opinion?

    I don’t think I’d want to give up those views for the Valley either, which boxed in and overcrowded.

  24. Mick says:

    IMO, Scarlett would eventually want Ryan back, who wouldn’t? I hope that Ryan continous entertaining Charlize to make Scarjo jealous.

    I would imagine that SJ is just wanting some loving from RR again.

    However, the dinner may not have happened, Twitter has pics of Ryan in Vancouver on that weekend.

    Ry and Charlize do make a good looking couple. If she is looking for a long relationship, he may be exactly what she needs. He was with Alanis for four years…..

    What happened about dating feeling so alien?

    Trying to fool his fans into feeling sorry for him so that his fans would go see Green Lantern. The fans did not buy it. Sorry Ry!

  25. Mick says:

    At Devon, Thanks for all the info on
    the Vancouver area. Sounds great! It is definitly one of the places I want to visit.

  26. Devon says:

    Turtle Dove, personally I love Yaletown. It’s where I live and it has everything. Shopping, groceries, restaurants, entertainment…practically don’t have to leave it’s radius. Downsides are that it’s a hot spot and it seems everyone and their dog come here at night and on the weekends so it can get crowded with assholes. They are all there driving their BMWs, Mercs, Maseratis, Astons, Lambos, Ferraris and want to be seen. Although it’s where lots of celebs stay and hang out so you do get to see him on occasion. I saw Patrick Wilson on the patio at Earls last year and I see Vancouver Canucks all the time. Also, you’re close to shopping on Robson and the entertainment district on Granville.

    Kits is beautiful, on the beach and full of trendy shops and restaurants. It’s an older area so it’s hard to get everything I want in a place to live and since it’s by the beach, it’s more expensive. It’s very quiet and so peaceful.

    The West End is near Stanley Park and English Bay. Same thing as Kits where it’s lots of older buildings but it’s cheaper than Yaletown and there are amazing ramen places on Denman. In the summer, Celebration of Lights lights up English Bay with fireworks from different countries (not sure if they’re doing it this year) and it gets packed. Lots of fun walking on the beach eating ice cream and people watching.

    Gastown is another great place that is getting revitalized. It’s more hipsterish I’d say than anywhere else in downtown Van. It can be sketchy, it’s home to the downtown east side and that area is…just Google it. It’s bad. It’s getting better and along Water Street and Cordova Streets there are lots of funky shops and pubs. My husband has an office there and we’ve discovered lots of cool restaurants.

    It’s just a really great place to live. I will admit, the people kind of suck sometimes and it takes awhile to meet people. I’ve been here for almost 3 full years and so far I’ve made one really close friend. She’s the girlfriend of my husband’s friend that he knows from home. I’m putting it down to working in places where I’m the youngest and the area that I live in. People can be snobbish but once you crack it, it’s unbelievable. And the things you can do on the weekends! A few weekends ago, we went to Ambleside in West Van for lunch on the beach then we headed to Lynn Valley in North Van to my friend’s barn to check out the horses. Where else can you go and find a stable with loads of horses and ponies in the middle of a city? Man, this is making me want to get off the bed and get out!

  27. gg says:

    ew he gives me the willies for some reason. He looks like a nerdy lawyer or something. Not an actor.

  28. Turtle Dove says:

    Thanks for all the great information. Vancouver seems like fantastic city and quite varied too. I think I’m amazed that it’s incredibly gorgeous and being by the water and so close to the Ocean is a plus too. I’d live at the beach and all the waterside parks.

    SO jealous.

    Being in a large city is hard to meet people. I guess Vancouver would be no different. I find the same thing, and I’m not one of the mini-van brigade, so that excludes me from hanging with many women. At least you have the hubby and ponies, right?

    gg – Really? You think so? More for me and Devon I guess. lol

  29. Maritza says:

    Ryan and Charlize would make a great looking couple but I think he would like to settle down and have kids, I’m not sure she wants any.

  30. Camille says:

    @Maritza: I agree.

    These 2 would make a cute couple. I don’t hate the idea of them together. They also both like to keep their private lives ULTRA private. So they have that in common at least.
