Here are some photos of Emma Stone out and about in LA yesterday. Everyone is talking about these photos… which is what Emma wants. That’s why she’s posing for photos this way, why she’s positioned that one bag a certain way. As you can see, the brown bag has “ANDREW GARFIELD” written in block-letters at the top. Emma wants you to see that. She wants us to speculate. Why?

Well, at the beginning of April, Star Magazine got the ball rolling on the breakup rumors. Star claimed that Andrew and Emma were on a break and it might be temporary. It took a week before other outlets – People, E! News, Us Weekly – followed suit. The explanations given ranged from “they grew apart” to “he was working too much” to “he’s really intense and in a dark place” to “he wasn’t a good boyfriend lately.” It did seem like there was a wink-nudge confirmation, specifically from Emma’s camp, blaming Andrew for the breakup. We also know that Emma left NYC (temporarily?) and has been holed up in LA for a while.

So does the bag with Andrew’s name mean that Emma and Andrew are fine and there’s nothing to see? Does it mean they did break up but have now reconciled? Or does it mean that Emma put all of Andrew’s crap into a paper bag and she’s dropping it off with one of bros because she’s totally done with him? I have no idea.

Incidentally, there was some confusion last week with the Star Magazine story about Andrew allegedly cheating on Emma. Pajiba linked to our story and did their own write-up, only Pajiba commenters claimed that the whole thing was based on an OK! Magazine story. It was not. The original source was Star Magazine’s print edition (I transcribed the story myself). If the original source is OK! Magazine, I will say so, usually adding a huge caveat of “this is from OK! Mag so it’s probably crap.” Star Magazine was actually the first to report Emma and Andrew’s breakup, and they’re the first to say Andrew cheated, which may or may not be crap, we simply don’t know. But I gave Star’s report last week some extra weight because they were the first to report the breakup.

And here’s the newly released trailer for Irrational Man, Woody Allen’s new film starring Emma and Joaquin Phoenix. Yeah… I have a B.A. in Philosophy, so I surprisingly related to this. Joaquin is playing a version of like ten different guys in my major.
