Ryan Gosling is back in El Lay after completing his second collaboration with Drive director Nicholas Winding Refn in Thailand and visiting MaMa Gos in Canada.

We're glad to see him too because he's been keeping himself busy by hitting the gym!

Smoking is bad.

If you don't want kids to do it, and can give them any number of reasons why, then why don't you take your own advice?

As they should!

It should have never happened in the first place, though!

KFC Thailand has had to do some damage control and apologize for posting a Facebook message that urged people to hurry up and order a bucket of chicken… during Wednesday's tsunami scare!

So basically as people were being told to evacuate from beaches, the company went ahead and said this:

"Let's hurry home and follow the earthquake news. And don't forget to order your favorite KFC menu."

That's extremely insensitive! Whoever thought that was a good idea — and then the person who gave permission to post it — should be fired. That's a no-brainer.

More than 8,000 people in Thailand died in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami (230,000 in Indonesia), so you can see why people are so upset!

You won't find a burrito at Chipotle's much buzzed about Asian spin-off restaurant, ShopHouse Kitchen.

Sources have confirmed that the Southeast Asian inspired fast food joint will feature noodles and rice, topped with meat, vegetables and/or Asian condiments like nuts and sauces inspired by food found in Thailand, Malaysia, and China.

You may find a similar decor though. If you're comfortable around simple, stainless steel designs and ordering behind a counter, the ShopHouse Kitchen may replace your weekly trip to Panda Express. If, of course, the chain goes national.

So far only one location in Washington DC has opened, but has been met with generally positive reviews, like this one:

"My thoughts: good food, small portions. I had a bowl with rice noodles, tofu, Chinese broccoli, and tamarind sauce. The food was nicely spicy (good for me, but definitely too spicy for some friends of mine). Everything was fresh and flavorful and the stand out to me was the Chinese broccoli. The staff was friendly and the kitchen was bopping. Steve Ells (founder of Chipotle) was even there to say hi at the end of the counter! My only complaint: I left kinda hungry. For a similar price I can go get more food at any of the other Asian fusion places nearby."

The same thing could have been said for Chipotle when it first opened, so we imagine it's only a matter of time before they start popping up in every major city.
