"Dear Mr. Bitove:
I am discouraged to hear that KFC Canada has not intervened to eliminate the abuses that birds raised and killed for KFC restaurants suffer, despite the strides that are being made by other companies.
I understand that KFC Canada is still allowing its suppliers to scald chickens to death in scorching-hot water tanks and that many birds still suffer broken wings and legs because of violent treatment prior to slaughter. As a Canadian, I hope that you'll set a good example for KFC operators in the U.S. and elsewhere by stopping the worst abuses endured by the birds killed for KFC Canada's buckets. Won't you please consider setting a precedent that all other KFCs can follow?
The time is ripe to do the right thing. By adopting the basic recommendations made by PETA and scientific experts (including raising birds in a more natural manner and employing less cruel slaughter methods), you could dramatically improve the lives and deaths of chickens raised and killed for KFC Canada.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Ryan Gosling"

"They were definitely acting like they were on a date. They lingered there for hours and were both dressed kind of shabby."

"Peter Jackson was said to be quite surprised that Gosling had showed up to start work on "The Lovely Bones" looking like he'd donned a fat suit. According to sources, the 26-year-old Gosling had apparently told the director he was going to gain weight to age himself up to play the part of a grieving father, but Jackson was still expecting some movie star allure -- not paunch and a beard. By Friday, Gosling had left the high-profile production over those pesky 'creative differences,' and, by Sunday, he'd been replaced by 36-year-old Mark Wahlberg, who actually could be old enough to father a teenager."

We hear that "The Notebook" true-life couple Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have split. A pal of Gosling's was overheard asking the actor, "Where's Rachel tonight?" at the Los Angeles premiere of "Fracture" Wednesday. Gosling responded, "Don't you know? We broke up." A rep for Gosling refused to comment on the actor's personal life.

"Ryan didn't have to repropose," says the insider. "He and Rachel just agreed it was time to think about getting married again because they had worked out their problems. Ryan says he's thrilled that Rachel is wearing her engagement ring again, which Ryan gave her early in 2005. It was always a secret engagement, and they will never confirm it publicly, but it's back on, and they're happy again, planning some family vacations together and doing the private-party rounds to support Ryan's role in Half Nelson."
The insider says the lovebirds aren't interested in a high-profile wedding and instead are planning a very small elopement.
"Ryan says they're looking for a good time to slip away and do it," says the insider, "and he's even said New Year's might be the perfect time for him and Rachel to make things permanent. Starting a family and sharing their lives together is so much more important to them than which magazine they can sell their wedding pictures to."(source)
