This is the cover of the new issue of Us Weekly. Needless to say, they’re trying to spin some kind of Sandra Bullock/Ryan Reynolds romance. I wrote about it yesterday. Please click here for a refresher. In short, right now there’s nothing happening. But friendship can evolve… ?

Maybe not.

I’m told that last week Scarlett Johansson was also in Austin, Texas, also spotted at Bess Bistro, owned by Sandy B, the same restaurant where Sandy and Ryan and a group of friends rang in the New Year. On December 28, Scarjo and Sandy were actually joined by Drew Barrymore. They three were seen leaving the restaurant together.

Sandy and Ryan are tight. But Sandy and Scarjo are also tight, and clearly tight even after Scarjo and Ryan’s breakup. Good friends don’t hook up with the ex-husband of a good friend. Unless you’re Shania Twain. And that’s a whole other country song called Revenge You Cheating Whore. But Sandy isn’t That Girl.

In light of these developments, I’m reversing yesterday’s position. Given Sandy’s close friendship with Scarlett, evolving her relationship with Ryan probably won’t and shouldn’t happen.

Thanks Karen!
