NOTEBOOK NONSENSE

Continuing her worldly travels, Rachel McAdams heads to Paris, France for a Morning Glory photo call with co-star Harrison Ford on January 14. For her daytime appearance, Rach played with prints in an Isabel Marant mini (check out Meghan Los Angeles' Katrina Dress in Black/Grey or Diane von Furstenberg's Arely Wrap Dress in Multi for similar flirty styles) with black tights, patent pumps (like Coye Nokes' Jacqueline Pump in Black Embossed Python) and a silver clasp bracelet (try Liquid Metal's Dark Nickel Bracelet with Clear Crystal in Silver). What do you think of Rach's look here? I have to say her hair is by far the best I've seen on her in awhile, the soft waves add a flattering touch of drama to what could otherwise have been a very modest look. This is Rachel's third appearance in Europe so far, appearing in Berlin the night before and in London two days before that. Talk about a whirlwind press tour! Morning Glory came out in the US months ago, and will actually be released on DVD in March, but in the flick Rach plays an adorably naïve, relationship challenged young woman in stark contrast to her irresistibly romantic role in The Notebook. The Nicholas Sparks adaptation that made Rach famous might have set the bar for countless real-life romances, but Rachel's co-star and former beau Ryan Gosling recently shared in an interview that he thinks the classic love story is actually a relationship killer: "People would come up to me and tell me that they thought it was romantic, but one guy told me that he was engaged and his fiancée broke up with him after that movie because she said to him, You wouldn’t build a house for me, would you?’ He was like, ‘Well, no, but I don’t know how.’ She said, ‘But if you knew how?’ He said, ‘No, I wouldn’t. But it doesn’t mean I don’t love you.’ She said, ‘Yeah, it does.’ And she called it off." Yikes! I have to wonder if the film's idealistic portrayal of happily ever after had a negative affect on Ryan and Rach's real-life romance – what do you think?
