Forget about Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling, it seems that Rachel McAdams has found herself cast in a new supermarket tabloid celebrity love triangle. According to the latest gossip news updates, the Mean Girls beauty dated both her co-stars, Collin Farrell and Taylor Kitsch, while making Season 2 of HBO's True Detective. Sadly, the nonsense about Rachel and the boys has been the only slightly positive news circulating about the TV show as critics far and wide takes turns bashing the series' sophomore season for not being enough like the original.
While Matthew McConaughey and Woody Harrelson never had to worry about too much about the tabloid media suggesting that there was any hanky-panky going on behind the scenes, it seems that the current cast of HBO's True Detective is not quite as lucky.
As ridiculous as it seems, a source in the June 29, issue of Life & Style goes so far as to accuse Rachel Adams of dating at least two of her Season 2 co-stars (via HollywoodLife):
"[Colin and Taylor] were fighting over her all the time [while filming True Detective].
"One would invite her out to dinner and the other would get jealous, and vice versa. It was like they were in high school!
"They both still have a huge crush on her."
According to the informant, the boys' squabbling hasn't even close to convincing McAdams to actually choose one man over the other, but she has enjoyed it all the same:
"Rachel isn't looking for a serious relationship.
"She wants to have a good time."
Although Farrell didn't talk to E! News about his rumored on-set romance, he did speak a little to the constant comparisons that critics have been making between the first and second seasons:
"It's different the second season for sure.
"There's a similarity and a certain tone that the piece has that I think resonated with me as having a tone that was reflective of the tone of the first year and a sensibility that's the same.
"But the characters are very different, the aesthetic is very different, the pace is very different.
"So, hopefully people will be okay with it being different and they'll be open to it being a whole new breath of life."
If Season 2 of HBO's True Blood is half as fun to watch as it sounds like it was for Rachel McAdams and her co-stars, Taylor Kitsch and Colin Farrell, to make, the critics will be eating crow in no time.
