New Couple Alert: Rachel McAdams and Josh Lucas

purple ball 210109
I was never emotionally invested in Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams as a couple, in real life or on the screen. The Notebook left me cold, which caused many friends to wonder if I was dead inside. I just found it all too sappy. But Ryan Gosling is incredible – a wonderful actor, seemingly a pretty cool, laid-back guy who gives interesting interviews, however rare. Rachel McAdams is kind of “meh” – very pretty, talented, but not all that interesting. How she kept Gosling’s interest on-and-off for several years, I’ll never know, but now it looks like she’s definitely moving on.

Rachel McAdams was spotted in Washington DC making out with Josh Lucas, whose most famous roles are… Sweet Home Alabama? That was the only one that came to mind, but despite a lacking career, Lucas is really cute. And he and Rachel have matching dimples!

Does this mean we’ll never get to see Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling live happily ever after?

Five months ago, Rachel and her Notebook costar Ryan were giving their relationship another try, but it seems like the actress has moved on — to actor Josh Lucas.

Rachel and Josh celebrated Barack Obama’s presidency at the Moet-sponsored Purple Ball in DC on Tuesday night and were seen smooching, reports New York Daily News’ Gatecrasher column.

“They were so lovey-dovey,” a spy told the paper, “nibbling on each other’s necks, gazing into each other’s eyes and doing a lot of flirty touching.”

Josh’s relationship history includes twos year as Salma Hayek’s companion. Rachel most notably dating Ryan from 2004 to 2007 before trying again over the summer. Ryan told GQ magazine that after they split the first time, strangers would come up to him on the street and tell him they were mad at him for “letting a girl like that go.”

Calling Josh Lucas “Salma Hayek’s companion” makes Salma sound just awful, like she’s Norma Desmond to Josh’s hapless screenwriter. I think coming out of a relationship with Salma Hayek is always going to seem like a downgrade, but if this McAdams-Lucas pairing holds up, they’ll be a very cute couple. Just a little off-topic, but what was Rachel doing in Washington? She’s Canadian!

    I don’t know about those two. It may be just me, but I don’t think they go well together. I guess I just would never have coupled the two.

  2. dudewtf says:

    NOOOOOOOOOOO!! I love Ryan & Rachel together!! I love them individually & together. They are my fav actors. Im sad! Im hoping Josh L was just kissing a look alike. Since Rachel is Canadian, i doubt she would want to be in Washington in that crowd when she techinically doesnt have a say in our Govt.

    This cant be happening, she needs to get back together with ryan.

    I’m with dudewtf.

    NOOOO!!! I love Ryan and Rachel dammit!!

    I mean, obviously we don’t know what kind of relationship they had, but omg. I just. No. I can’t accept it.

    I just won’t.

    Not that Josh Lucas isn’t hot. Because he is definitely hot. He did Glory Road. Which was a reallyreally good movie.

  5. MC says:

    What a terrible picture of Josh Lucas! He looks so scrubby.

  6. Diva says:

    She certainly seems to have a type.

  7. Annie says:

    Hot?

    What’s up with Celebitchy’s backhanded insults of McAdams? Did she kick your puppy?

  9. vdantev says:

    His face looks like an unmade bed.

    Just because some one who is Canadian and living in the states can’t legally vote, doesn’t mean that they wouldn’t celebrate such a historic moment. I’m Canadian and would have gone in a heartbeat. I’m really excited for you…Ok well only if they were really good tickets.

  11. Lia says:

    Hey…. Lucas was in “Practical Magic” with Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman! It was a small part at the beginning of the movie, but he was a cutie in it….

  12. Granger says:

    There were a lot of Canadians in Washington for this historical event. You *are* the most powerful nation in the world, so why shouldn’t the rest of us celebrate a victory that will affect us as much as you?

    That is the worst picture of Josh Lucas EVER! He was also in “A Beautiful Mind,” by the way, and was very good in it. Why he and Reese Witherspoon stooped to the level of “Sweet Home Alabama” is puzzling, to the say the least.

  13. Payton says:

    I doubt that Ryan will ever marry Rachel because she is known for being bossy and controlling. Indeed they have sexual fireworks together, however, Ryan could ignite a fire in any woman!

    sory?
