Watch the Evolution of Ryan Reynolds’ Abs
Ryan Reynolds hates talking about his abs, but lucky for us, they just keep getting bigger! He may try to throw us off the track by writing his own bio in EW, but we won’t be deterred. As Reynolds gets shaped into the next big action star, his stomach muscles get shaped into ever more chiseled rows of awesomeness. But he wasn’t always this way. We’ve tracked down some of his earliest roles, when his abdominals were just a twinkle in some studio head’s eye. Watch the evolution, and thank your lucky stars for action movies. More »

Fan Service: The ‘Green Lantern’ People Send Out the Coolest Merchandise
A huge perk of being an entertainment blogger is of course getting to see the movie or TV show in question before anyone else. (I got to go to an advance screening of Watchmen in 2009, and I lorded that over my friends.) But even more special is getting treated like you’re the studio’s number-one fan, with awesome freebies like this box of upcoming Green Lantern merchandise that a ComicsAlliance writer received. Join me in wading through the goodies after the jump. More »
Fame Games: Possible New Boyfriends for ‘X Factor’ Judge Cheryl Cole
Earlier this week, Simon Cowell announced that he wants to hire Cheryl Cole as one of the judges for his soon-to-be-launched US edition of X Factor. Though Cheryl is a huge star in the UK, she’s pretty much an unknown in the States. Though landing such a high profile gig will definitely help her become well-known in America, Lainey Gossip points out that the single fastest way for Cheryl to land magazine covers is to get herself into a high-profile relationship.

Breaking: Scarlett Johansson And Ryan Reynolds Have Chateau Marmont “Reunion”
Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds need a publicist intervention. The divorcing couple is battling to retain control of their breakup story in the press, and today’s latest is just a little silly. Apparently, they went to the Chateau Marmont to have a “reunion.” And Scarlett got all teary seeing Ryan again.
Dear ScarJo: please fire your breakup consultants.
The Chateau Marmont, for those who have not caught on yet, is a place for partying, overdosing and having your picture taken. Sofia Coppola just released a movie where the Chateau Marmont played a supporting role. If you want to go have lunch there and have your picture taken, fine. But don’t pretend that you’re sharing some sort of special moment. More »
Gallery: America’s Hottest Cinema Superheroes
Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, and able to look good in nipple-baring fetish gear? Hell yeah, we’re into superheroes. And while some may say that it feels a little wrong to call Superman “hot” (we’re all into the messed up Bruce Wayne and Tony Starks nowadays), the truth is that those icy blues that Christopher Reeve sported as Kal-El could melt a heart made of kryptonite.* More »

Why Is Scarlett Johannson Mad At Ryan Reynolds, If She’s The One Who Cheated?
Those rumors about Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock being a couple are a bit strange. (Life isn’t The Proposal people!) But the weirdest thing that we’ve heard about them possibly dating is that Ryan’s soon to be ex-wife Scarlett Johannson is upset about the whole thing. According to PopEater, ScarJo thinks Ryan is handling their breakup poorly.
That’s funny, because our source says that Scarlett is the one whose cheating ended their relationship. More »

Why Are There So Few Photos Of Scarlett Johansson and Ryan Reynolds?
Yesterday’s news that Ryan Reynolds and Scarlett Johansson, the world’s most attractive couple, were divorcing took us all by shock. They couldn’t! They wouldn’t! Especially since they both seemed so down to earth, so funny, so…perfect for each other! And come on…right after Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron broke up? Are they trying to kill us?!
But as we were trying to put together a gallery of the best moments from ScarJo and Ryan’s relationship, we noticed a funny fact: there are essentially no pictures of the happy couple. More »

Ryan Reynolds’ Yearbook Photo Unearthed!
“Why are you laughing at me, Karin?”
“I don’t know, Ryan, maybe because your high school yearbook quotes are ridiculous!”
It seems even the (dubiously qualified) world’s sexiest man had an awkward stage. Ryan Reynolds‘ high school yearbook, from Vancouver’s Kitsilano Secondary School, contains a whole slew of hilarious “inside jokes.” Is it just us or is “4 BOYZ With the Juice” the best band name ever? More »
Dane Cook Going to Broadway – Ugh, Dane Cook, the poor comedy man’s Ryan Reynolds, will be starring in Broadway in Neil Labute‘s Fat Pig, the tale of a misogynistic (who’d have thunk?) dude who starts dating a fat chick. To be fair, if anyone shouldn’t have to stretch his acting chops that far to become a Neil Labute character, it’s Dane Cook. (New York Times)
