Bricks and Stones

Success.
Rachel McAdams piqued our interest in Mean Girls and stole our hearts in The Notebook, but the films did more than build her a fanbase: They benefited her wallet. Rachel reportedly earned $4 million for 2009's The Time Traveler's Wife, so her stock as a Hollywood leading lady is rising. Josh's salary is on the down low, but he's made his priorities clear. Instead of following in a traditional path with more movies like Sweet Home Alabama, he's chosen less mainstream roles instead, and possibly taking a pay cut because of it.

Jake-Weird

Attractiveness.
Rachel loveliness is underscored by her ability to be a chameleon: She's just as striking as bombshell Regina George as she is with a more subtle look. Josh's scruffy, masculine features aren't Zac Efron pretty, but they're easily handsome enough to make us swoon.

People

Popularity.
Thanks in part to their need to keep romance private, these two aren't quite on the public radar yet. Last month, around 368,000 people searched Google for Rachel, and 50,000 for Josh -- numbers small enough to place them in the bottom half of our list of most popular couples.

Gossip Girls

Staying Power.
Reports of this new love started emerging in early 2009, and most people were not pleased to hear Rachel had ended things with Notebook costar Ryan Gosling, whom she dated on and off for a couple of years. Lucas's most high-profile relationship to date was with sexy Salma Hayek back in 2003. This couple is reportedly already shacking up together, so we'll see how it all pans out.

Nachofoto

Compatibility.
These two are likely to hit it off in the beginning, but it could sour quickly. Rachel is a Scorpio, and Josh is a Gemini/Cancer cusp, so her need for commitment may clash with his desire to be independent. Scorpios are also notoriously jealous -- not ideal when your man's job involves making out with other ladies, hm?
