Ryan Gosling is looking alternately somber and genuinely pleased at the 2008 Santa Barbara Film Festival, where he received an Independent Award Tribute at the Lobero. If you look closely at his lapel, you can see a small black ribbon that the actor is wearing as a tribute to the late Heath Ledger. The gesture was a subtle one, and the idea came from Ryan's sister, Mandy, who recently accompanied Ryan to the SAG Awards, where she said, "We just had to mark [that] something terrible has happened." Ryan sported the ribbon there as well.
I think Ryan's cute and a good actor, but I think my favorite thing about him is how friendly he looks while being interviewed by what looks like a teenage girl who's probably talking with him so she can post it on her MySpace blog later that night. You can see what pic I'm talking about after the jump.

how come no one says this guy is gay, because he's not good looking so that makes him straight according to some people!

Sorry but what does "after the jump" mean? I may be stupid but at least I'm trying to find out the answer. Anyone? thanks in advance.

hey k,
in response to your after the jump question:
if you see a link at the bottom of a post that says, "continue reading after the jump," it means that you can click on the link...basically, clicking on the link will "jump" you to the full post with more pix. you can also click on the title at the top to do the same thing.
hope that helps!

Who cares about a "jump" I LOVE this guy and would jump his bones in a minute.

Tina you couldn't be more wrong, firstly Ryan is a nice looking guy, secondly there is plenty of inference that he is gay. Check out Ted Casablanca's gossip column. By the way I like plenty of out actors who are not considered good looking. I don't care what they look like, I just want integrity and people to live there truth.
