There are reports that Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling are engaged and will be getting hitched very soon. However, the couple has avoided walking the red-carpet together for months. Gosling shocked some by showing up on the red-carpet without McAdams for the Oscars in February. McAdams ... didn’t serve as Gosling’s arm candy for the premiere of his new flick Fracture last night at the Mann Village Theatre in L.A. Instead he brought his sister Mandy.

The basic premise is this: Lars (Ryan Gosling) is unable to have a real relationship. Painfully shy and withdrawn, he keeps himself to himself and the outside world outside. Friends and family are worried about him, but nobody can get him to communicate. At one point his sister in law (Mortimer) has to physically force him to agree to have dinner with them (he lives next to them in their converted garage), and the resulting scene is a painfully stilted affair.

A specialist in playing troubled young men on the big screen, Ryan Gosling got his start on the Disney television show MMC (the Mickey Mouse Club), alongside Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera. From there he worked in television (Breaker High and Young Hercules) until moving into feature films. Gosling received critical raves for his performance as a neo-Nazi in the drama The Believer (2001) and held his own with Don Cheadle and Kevin Spacey in 2003's The United States of Leland. His turn opposite Rachel McAdams in the romance The Notebook (2004, with James Garner) earned him legions of female fans, and his past romances with Rachel McAdams and Sandra Bullock (his co-star in 2002's Murder by Numbers) have kept his name in the gossip columns. In 2005 he co-starred with Ewan McGregor in the psychological thriller Stay (... starring Naomi Watts and Janeane Garofalo), and in 2006 he received an Oscar nomination for his performance in Half Nelson.
