Is There Such A Thing As An Oscar-Worthy Man?

And the award goes to….oh, forget it.

In advance of this Sunday’s Academy Awards, I decided to focus on my favorite topic: men. Namely, the men nominated for ‘Best Actor.’ Though these guys are clearly all great thespians (Daniel Day-Lewis, I’m specifically talking to you) I had to wonder: are they as great in love as they are on the big screen? Should my fantasies exist solely on celluloid (now I’m talking to you Bradley Cooper) or should I truly be envious of their wives/girlfriends/pieces on the side? more…

Why Women Need Superheroes: The Ryan Gosling Edition

Really, every girl deserves one

When I heard that Ryan Gosling saved some random, pink-haired British journalist’s life today, I wasn’t surprised. A guy who consistently wears his heart on his sleeve in films like The Notebook and Blue Valentine has to be a hero. He’s too good, too worthy too…perfect. And every single one of us deserves to have our very own Super-Guy like Gosling. more…

An Open Letter To Ryan Gosling: Will You Marry me?

The Drive star is my perfect man

I know I usually talk about international dating and feelings, but today I thought I’d try something a little different. I don’t usually dig actors. They’re all so full of themselves and smarmy, a front for hiding their crippling insecurities. And aside from banging on about old “Golden Eyes” Robert Pattinson (I must confess to pining for his Twilight character over the dirty man himself), I don’t get starstruck. Fact. Still, everything I read about Ryan Gosling convinces me that he is “the one.” Why? Read on. And yes, for those that actually do know me, it has a lot to do with his love for Disneyland and addiction to sugar. more…

CRAZY, STUPID, LOVE

Spoiler alerts below!

I’ll be honest with you: I’ve been dying to see Crazy, Stupid, Love ever since my first glimpse of Ryan Gosling‘s rock solid abs in the film’s trailer. Before you go thinking I’m as shallow as that statement would bely, let me add that when Entertainment Weekly touts a movie as the best romantic comedy in years, I almost peed myself with excitement. I mean, you’re talking to the girl who saw the utterly craptastic Something Borrowed THREE times. ‘Nuff said. Their assessment didn’t disappoint — this film is provocative, realistic and refuses to back down from the premise that love doesn’t have to make sense. more…

Been Through A Bad Breakup? Play The Field!

Who says you have to settle down right away? Be like Blake Lively and date as men men as you please!

Men get away with so much more BS than we women do. We certainly handle breaking up from our respective other in completely different ways. I don’t know about you, but when I’m feeling blue the last thing I want to do is go to a bar and make myself presentable. I want to sit at home, glugging cheap champagne straight out of the bottle and overdosing on sappy crap like Love, Actually. Watching my male friends go through similar experiences, however, is a revelation. They not only go out with a vengeance, but they make moving on — sexually, at least — their mission. They are nearly always successful. I can’t switch from meaningful to meaningless in the bat of an eyelid, but I’m completely in awe of girls who can. Blake Lively, you are my hero. more…
