Ryan and Michelle?

Ryan Gosling was photographed last week with "Heroes" cutie Hayden Panettiere, but Tuesday night he only had eyes for Heath Ledger's ex, Michelle Williams. The two had dinner at Piadina and were caught by onlookers having a cozy cigarette outside the West 10th Street eatery. The star of "Lars and the Real Girl" was "smiling and gazing at her," said our witness. Reps for both said they weren't on a date, but just discussing an upcoming film project they're working on together.

Michelle on the move?

Famed Brooklyn resident Michelle Williams may be leaving her outer-borough followers in the dust. Williams was recently overheard telling friends she was considering a move to Manhattan, now that her ex Heath Ledger, the father of her daughter Matilda, has shipped off to SoHo. "The Brooklyn brownstone is too big for just her and the baby," a tipster said of the actress's Cobble Hill place. Reps for Williams have not commented.

Heath and Michelle: behind the split

Sources close to Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams aren't surprised about the couple's split. "They have been broken up, on and off, since Matilda was born, and tried in many ways to make it work for her sake," says a source close to Ledger. "Matilda will remain their first priority." The day the news of the breakup surfaced, Ledger brought his mini-me to NYC's Children's Museum of Manhattan, and on September 3, Williams and her daughter were spotted at a cafe in Brooklyn. The past year or so has been filled with ups and downs, says a source, as the duo spent "a few months apart and barely spoke." "You'll see them together again," a Ledger source says of the committed parents. "It won't mean they're back on, but they'll be spending time with Matilda."
