Here's the Scoop....

So smitten she forgot sensible walking shoes!

Eva Mendes and new beau Ryan Gosling took a hike together at L.A.'s Griffith Park Observatory on Sunday. For the pair's romantic trek underneath the famed Hollywood sign, down a steep canyon and back to Eva's home nearby.

Currently shooting The Place Beyond the Pines together, Ryan and Eva debuted their romance earlier this month with a PDA-packed trip to Disneyland.

There's always been a strong chemistry between them, one source explained of the pair. This was just a matter of time!

But Eva probably shouldn't get her hopes up too high. Drive star Ryan recently said that he's still stuck on exes Sandra Bullock and Rachel McAdams. "I had two of the greatest girlfriend of all time. I haven't met anybody who could top them," he admitted of Sandra (who he dated from 2002-2003) and Rachel (who he dated from 2004-2008).

Now, let's get to the rest of the nooz...

Ciao,

Alley vows to wage war against tabloid�s bulimia allegations...

Kirstie Alley is preparing to take legal action against tabloid editors after discovering they are publishing an article alleging her massive weight loss is the result of an eating disorder.

Kirstie, who has struggled with weight issues for years, has been shedding the pounds ever since she was forced to shape up as a contestant on �Dancing With the Stars� earlier this year.

She recently claimed to have lost an impressive 100 pounds since March after adopting a new healthy diet and strict exercise regime, and she showed off her new slim physique when she walked the runway at an event for New York Fashion Week last week.

Her drastic new look has prompted speculation about exactly how she managed to drop down to a size six, and according to Kirstie, reporters at the National Enquirer are claiming in an upcoming article that she�s become bulimic, forcing herself to vomit after every meal.

But she has slammed the allegations and she has vowed to take the Enquirer to court.

***SPOILER ALERT***

Dancing with the Stars Elimination...

Elisabetta Canalis previously had luck in the dating department and Ron Artest continues to be one of the most popular basketball players in the NBA, but neither Dancing with the Stars competitor managed to impress in the ballroom during Monday's night's season 13 premiere.

Ron, 31, only scored 14 out of 30 points after completing his cha cha with partner Peta Murgatroyd. Elisabetta, 33, did fared one point better than Ron with her performance of the same dance with Maksim Chmerkovskiy's brother, Val.

Did one of the first week�s lowest scorers get the boot? Or did another one the DWTS competitors face a surprise elimination?

At the end of Tuesday night, Ron Artest was the first contestant voted off the brand-new season of Dancing.

When the news was delivered, Ron, who was referred to by his new name, "Metta," threw up his hands joyously and smiled, not seeming too down by his loss. "Who's coming with me?" he asked the crowd. "Everybody give a round of applause to Peta, she was awesome!"

Said Ron: "I had a great, great time."

Joining him in the bottom on Tuesday's show: Nancy Grace.

This alternative rock band announced they have broken up after 31 years together...

It's R.E.M.

As lifelong friends and co-conspirators, we have decided to call it a day as a band," the band said in a statement on their official website. "We walk away with a great sense of gratitude, of finality and of astonishment at all we have
accomplished.

Throughout their career, R.E.M. has released 15 albums, including Murmur, Reckoning, Document, Out of Time, New Adventures in Hi-Fi, Up and Automatic For the People. The band's most recent album, Collapse Into Now, was released in March 2011.

The band's original drummer, Bill Berry, 53, retired in 1997 after 17 years with R.E.M. He has since become a farmer in Watkinsville, Georgia, though he has reunited with the band on several special occasions.

According to Rolling Stone, the band reportedly worked on new material in an Athens studio over the summer; it is unclear whether those songs will be released.
