Breakup: Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams

It was an emotional year for fans of "The Notebook," who let out a collective "squee!" when co-stars Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams reunited over the summer. But their dreams were crushed when the button-cute Canadian pair reportedly went belly up again in November. The Best Kiss-winning duo (go on, rewatch it for the umpteenth time -- we'll wait) had fanned their rekindled flame with a swoon-inducing PDA interlude during an August lunch date before apparently deciding love wasn't better the second time around. Blame was placed on their conflicting work schedules, the same reason cited when they first broke up in April 2007 after almost two years together. "The only thing I remember is we both went down swingin' and we called it a draw," the actor told GQ after their initial split, calling McAdams "one of the great loves of my life." He also acknowledged how tough it was living in the shadow of their meant-for-each-other "Notebook" alter egos, Noah and Allie. "People do Rachel and me a disservice by assuming we were anything like the people in that movie," Ryan explained. "Rachel and my love story is a hell of a lot more romantic than that."
