Hellllllooooo....Gosling! Three celebrity on-lookers, drinking Labatt's 50 at Sneaky Dee's, were overheard (or more like underheard) talking about The Notebook stars and SD's patrons Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams: Celeb on-looker #1: Hey, that's Ryan something over there. He's, like, a Canadian movie star. Celeb on-looker #2: Oh yeah. He was in Van Wilder. Celeb on-looker #1: No that's Ryan Reynolds. He's dating Alanis Morisette. This is the guy from The Notebook.
