Ryan Seacrest exchanged some e-mails with keeper-of-Britney Larry Rudolph, and Larry wrote:

“Britney Spears will not be performing at the VMA’s this year … I’m telling you officially and unquivocally that B.S. will not be there.”

Ryan, of course, revealed as much on his morning radio noise at KIIS, which if it’s true, is a smackdown to Ryan’s other employer, E!, who had just reported that the androgynous hair man Kim Vo was creating a few VMA ‘dos for Brit. B.S. calls B.S. on K.V.!

To sate your Brit needs at the very least, there are the promos …

(All this passion requires the loss of a bra.)

Omilord. PopSugar has 55 pictures of Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling in undying love at a Toronto cafe — seriously, it’s like a flip book of Rachel and Ryan’s every adorable move — Rachel and Ryan coo from from across the table; then Rachel climbs into Ryan’s lap; then she feeds Ryan a Canadian croissant. Obviously, some makeout ensues. It goes on, I promise.

Lest Reese forget about Stop-Loss (BFF can’t forget Ryan and Abbie’s dreadful Southern drawals), Miss Witherspoon’s new boyfriend Jake Gyllenhaal might be put to the Abbie Cornish-as-co-star test.

Industry types (or let’s face it, In Touch snoops) are entertaining the idea of casting Abbie in Jake’s upcoming movie — might be the Doug Liman project, who — ha! I just realized — matched up Brad and Angelina for Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Reese, I trust, won’t waste 15 minutes worrying about this. If anything, it’ll be Ryan shouting expletives at a seemingly pro-Jake brick wall.

McAdams and Gosling — don’t eff with our heads. You’re either together or you’re … together, right?

10PM in Toronto — Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams walk into Grace, a restaurant on College Street. Holding hands!

There was a bit of magic (and regret when appropriate) when Rachel spoke of her onscreen chemistry with Ryan in T Magazine …

Perhaps Ryan will park his cute ol’ butt in Canada with Rachel, who’s prepping her selling face for the Toronto Film Festival, beginning Sept. 4. Then, we’ll have pictures. Proof. Then, can The Notebook revisit the DVD player again.

(Rachel McAdams, proud McDonalds employee for three years.)

In a terrific profile (and the pictures, whoa!) of Rachel McAdams in T Magazine, she calls herself:

“something of a daydreamer.”
“a dawdler.”
“a committee of one.”
“a figure skater.”
possibly a “sociopath” or “maybe crazy.”

And …

I chuckle when I witness journalists snaking in the “love life” inquiry. It’s admirable. Regarding Ryan Gosling, here’s how this writer did it:

In The Notebook, you and Ryan Gosling had amazing chemistry. Are love scenes difficult?

They’re strange. A kiss with anyone, on or off camera, can be intimidating. I’ve been kissing for nearly two decades now, and I’m always convinced I’m not doing it right. Chemistry is so important in a great kiss. You can act your way through anything, but it’s hard with a kiss. It’s much better if there’s an attraction.”

Rumblings have surfaced that Rachel and Ryan are one oncemore — perhaps their split was merely due to Rachel’s penchant for letting “her life slip away” when she’s working? Pray tell that she’s fixed this flaw of hers.

The UK’s Mirror tittle-tattles off on John Mayer dumping Jennifer Aniston. (It also refers to Mayer as a “rock star,” which also hurts my feelings.)

Awful. Why? Because this is that rare case — like Brad and Angelina — where it’s neither a trade-up (Benji trades up with Paris) or a trade-down (Scarlett trades down with Ryan). It is equal. Jennifer deserves John’s arm of bad-boy tattoos. John deserves another subject to write sentimental songs for — another Wonderland, if you will.

Sigh. Now Jen must de-frame those blown-up tabloid covers of the reports of her “Wedding of the Year!” and such. She shouldn’t have asked him to cut down on his touring. Dumb!

Jen’s new movie, He’s Just Not That Into You, hits theaters right around Valentine’s Day of 2009.

(Let's watch The Notebook again.)

Well, well, well. It isn’t exactly as amorous as The Notebook or that time she boasted pink hair, but Rachel McAdams is back in Ryan Gosling’s life. At least on Tuesdays.

Let’s call him … DJ Gos. Last night, he debuted his spinning skills at the Green Door in Hollywood, and along with Catherine Keener, Shane West and hockey player Sean Avery, ex-girlfriend Rachel was sittin’ pretty, enjoying what would be DJ Gos’ weekly jazz night.

According to People, “They talked when he was away from the deejay stand,” and the source continued, “They really looked like good pals. He seemed happy to see her.”

He relied on songs from the forties and fifties and OK, yes, he relied on his handsome person, too, well-packaged in a white T-shirt, black pants and a motorcycle jacket. DJ Gos is big into music — BFF has spotted him numerous times at Spaceland — and now, he’s finally got the Green Door to host his very green deejaying skills.

When the live jazz band took over, DJ Gos re-assumed his role as Ryan again and mingled with his friends — including Rachel — on the patio.

(We’ll check back next Tuesday, duh.)
