• "McAdams, who has Wes Craven's "Red-Eye" chiller opening in mid-August, is still getting asked about her and Ryan Gosling's jaw-dropping kiss on last month's MTV Movie Awards. After the "Notebook" movie couple won the award for Best Kiss, she leapt into his arms and planted a big one on him. Turns out it was Gosling's doing. Says Rachel, "Ryan was whispering in my ear as we're winning the award. He's like, 'You go that way, I'll go this way, and we'll meet in the middle,' " she recounts. 'I was like, 'What?!? You better not chicken out or I'll kill you!' It was fun." - Rachel McAdams
