Ryan Gosling plays it cool, Britney Spears, his former Mickey Mouse cohort, does not. Believe me, I'm not considering what I've just said to be mind blowing, but when I considered commenting on recent news items featuring both parties, I just couldn't help drawing a few comparisons. Same humble beginnings, not so same humble presents.
Last week TIME Magazine writer Joel Stein appointed Ryan Gosling as the Coolest Person of 2011; Gosling refused to talk about the 'honour' with Stein. Damn, that's cool. That same weekend Britney Spears got engaged to boyfriend Jason Trawick, and immediately wanted to talk publicly about the 'honour.' She blasted a teaser of the news on her Facebook page, presumably 2 seconds after it happened. Ryan Gosling doesn't have a Facebook page. Damn, that's cool.
Brit and Jason appear K-Fed and Brit style on the cover of this week’s People Magazine. A few months ago it was wildly speculated that Gosling turned downed the magazine’s Sexiest Man of the Year title. Damn, that's cool.
Ryan starred in arguably one of the best movies of 2011, Drive. In the retro-esque film noir he spoke maybe 10 lines throughout the whole thing, which was fiercely badass. Damn, that's cool. I could never be badass; I've got too much to say. Recently Brit also starred in what we can classify as her own film noir with Jason in her video for Criminal. Sure it was pretty badass itself; Jason looked surprisingly hot as hell and it had an equally hot make-out scene, but, ironically, every time she spoke the video got worse. She could stand to take a note from the Driver handbook.
Gosling is dating Eva Mendes. They aren't publicly commenting on the relationship, but he did recently travel to Paris just to pick her up so she didn't have to travel back to LA alone. We can be pretty sure something is going on. Damn, that's cool. Again, Spears and Trawick are electively appearing in a national magazine, tagline reading "All the details!" This includes pictures of the ring and this quote from Jason: "she's is my everyday Princess." Um, okay. Also, did I not just mention that she cast him in her latest music video and they have a full on naked make out scene?
Our beloved Ryan also commented on Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera's singing ability on NPR Fresh Air last week, of her talent he said, “you look at someone like Christina Aguilera, who is, y'know, was like 11 years old and 40 pounds and singing like Etta James, and you see someone who is realizing their destiny." He said nothing about Britney. Damn, that's cool.
In all seriousness, Ryan congrats on your Golden Globes nom this week and Brit congrats your engagement, for both I hope the third time’s the charm.
Comparatively yours,
Lauren
EDITORS NOTE: Gosling has recently thrown a wrench into my whole rant by appearing in the Funny or Die video featuring Eva Mendes, see the clip here. He does however, make that night gown and cap look cool. Thus I rest my case.
