Here are the most notable hookups of 2005... Ryan Gosling & Rachel McAdams: Can I give Ryan and Rachel more ink? I'll try. The adorable duo, who met while playing lovers in The Notebook took their reel love into the real world this year. Both Canadian, they seem to have a lot in common -- and have been seen doing lots of "normal" things: grocery shopping, walking their dogs, holding hands. And there's even been talk of an engagement. My coworker Lauren summed up their appeal the best when she said: "They're so effortlessly hip. I want to adopt them." I totally agree. R&R: Call if you need room and board. Evangeline Lilly & Dominic Monaghan: Are they or aren't they? That was the question surrounding this twosome all year. In January at the Golden Globes, the Lost costars dismissed talk of a relationship. By September, they were openly canoodling. Hawaii seems like the perfect backdrop for young love -- and they're certainly taking advantage of it. Eva Longoria &...: Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria found her celeb dating groove this year. The divorcee was linked to JC Chasez, Sean Faris and Tony Parker. The thing with Tony Parker stuck and she got serious with him by summer. They just spent Christmas together in Texas, where they cussed out a cop and Eva, who is Mexican, reportedly made a derogatory comment about the cop being Mexican. Oh, those crazy kids. Nicole Kidman & Keith Urban: Tom Cruise, Q-Tip, Lenny Kravitz... Nicole Kidman has eclectic taste in men, right? Well, this year she fell for Australia country singer Keith Urban. (And, yes, there is such thing as an Australian country singer.) In late May, they took a motorcycle trip. By fall, she was visiting him on tour. Thing have gotten serious as of late -- they spent the holidays together with their families. Maybe next year they'll make my Year in Review: Celebrity Weddings list. Orlando Bloom & Kate Bosworth: After taking a break last year, this genetically-blessed twosome reunited in '05. First, they went on a date in February. But they didn't officially make up until June, when Orli flew to Australia to visit Kate while she was working. They've been going strong ever since. Heath Ledger & Michelle Williams: These two fell in love on the set of Brokeback Mountain, but you'd never know it. They avoided the limelight at all costs. Earlier this year, Michelle was seen at a prenatal yoga class, which got tongues wagging. Shortly after, Heath sold his home in L.A. and moved to Brooklyn, New York with his new girl. They welcomed their daughter, Matilda, this fall. Since then, they've tried to blend into the backdrop of NYC and live a real life. I'm really rooting for them. And don't forget: Ashanti and Nelly had a fling in Anguilla in January, but they deny that they are -- or ever were -- a couple. Eww TomKat! In case you lived under a rock, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes got together this year. They fast-forwarded through their relationship and now they're engaged, expecting and oh so annoying. Naomi Watts rebounded from her heartbreak with Heath Ledger by taking up with Liev Schreiber in May. They're still going strong and recently visited Australia together. Rumor had it Jennifer Aniston and Vince Vaughn were dating when they were seen having dinner in February. But things didn't heat up until they wrapped the movie they made this summer. Now they're supposedly together, but they haven't been spotted together in weeks. I'm suspicious. Mischa Barton dumped her millionaire boyfriend, Brandon Davis, for her hairy beast boyfriend, Cisco Adler. I saw them at the U2 show (love ya, Bono!) where she stood next to me while I was in the beer line and she loaded up her hotdog with condiments. Apparently Cisco doesn't spring for dinner the way Brandon did. Brad Pitt took up with Angelina Jolie in April and they morphed into this socially conscious couple, trippin' to Africa and stuff. He's also adopting her kids. It's sweet... though I think I liked her better when she wore blood around her neck and played with knives. Lindsay Lohan was reportedly hooking up with a few guys. Some of the names tossed around? Bruce Willis. Ew! Christian Slater. Ick. Jared Leto is the most recent. At least he's slightly closer to her in age. Zach Braff and Mandy Moore are hanging. She's going to appear on Scrubs next year, which is the absolute kiss of death for all couples. Scarlett has quite the reputation. (Benicio Del Toro in the elevator?) Well this year, she fell for Josh Hartnett. And they make quite an attractive pair. Sheryl Crow and Lance Armstrong continue to gross me out. They got engaged this year. Tragic. Matthew McConaughey landed Penelope Cruz and the Sexiest Man Alive title. Divorces, comebacks, best and worst newcomers... Find out who else cracked my Year in Review lists.
