Have you seen the ring? Popsugar has the most photos. Click here to see and then come back because I have a story to tell you about them/it.

This girl... She can’t stop balling my ass off. Who are you Blake Lively? How the f-ck did you get so good at this game? As mentioned earlier, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were able to keep their wedding pretty locked down. PEOPLE broke the news as the reception was happening but not in a way to suggest that they had negotiated an exclusive for purchase. Full Story

Ryan Reynolds woke up with a new wife this morning. His ex-wife Scarlett Johansson woke up to pictures of herself holding hands with her ex-boyfriend Jared Leto at the DNC last week. Scarjo’s rep says it’s totally platonic and that everyone should focus on why she was there and her speech and the President, but still, they were holding hands and they used to be lovers and so, of course, of course we’re talking about it. Full Story

If you were asked a year ago about who played the best game in the business, would you ever have thought that your answer might be Katie Holmes and Blake Lively? Blake Lively has a lot more game than we ever gave her credit for. How did she DO that? Blake Lively didn’t just punk Leonardo DiCaprio and end up in a marriage; what she did, like a proper CEO, was set a long-range goal with a series of achievable short term targets along the way. Full Story

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds arrived together in Venice today. Neither has a film screening at the festival but Blake may be there with Gucci as the new face of their Premiere fragrance and the brand is hosting a big event honouring women in film.

Blake Lively turned 25 on August 25 -- a Champagne Birthday! Remember her birthday last year? On Blake’s birthday last year, she was on a plane to Australia to visit then-boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio who was there shooting The Great Gatsby. Full Story

Savages opened this weekend. Did you go? As Duana was my main event, I won’t be going until later this week. As much as many of you wanted it to though, Savages did not bomb. It opened over $16 million which, according to Deadline was better than expected, and according to Box Office Mojo Full Story

Here are Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds out in New York earlier this week picking up some groceries. Is that pie crust? Looks like it says Pie Crust, or Pie Something, on the box. I can’t believe they’re not using reusable shopping bags. Also... Is that Hunt’s? OMG. Gwyneth Paltrow does NOT approve. Full Story

ExclusiveRyan Reynolds took Blake Lively to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island this week. His brother lives and works there. They stayed with him during their visit and played basketball on his block on Monday night. It’s cute, right? Ryan and Blake, all Hollywood and sh-t, running up and down the street of an unassuming neighbourhood, giggling and chasing each other. Full Story

Is that how it works? Because Blake Lively is a regular at this event. And she didn’t show. Oh I’m sure there’s an official reason that works for everyone, a reason that doesn’t involve petty gossip. But still. And yet. Blake considers herself a fashion girl. The fashion girls were all in New York. Love matters more though than a pretty dress. Full Story

Multiple sightings of Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds being super romantic in Napa at dinner this week. Nothing gross, but like totally engrossed in each other. “Eyes locked” the whole time is how one person described it to me. It was so intense - in a hot sex way - that at one point I’m told when a server came by to ask if they needed something else, Ryan seemed irritated to have been interrupted. Full Story
