Given the rumours about his breakup with fellow actress Eva Mendes doing the rounds, life may not be all song and dance for Ryan Gosling - but soon, it will be.

Gosling has reportedly been tapped to star in, and possibly direct, a biopic about the life of director and choreographer Busby Berkeley. Warner Bros. has optioned Jeffrey Spivak's book, Buzz:

The Life and Art of Busby Berkeley, with plans to turn it into a film, to be produced by Marc Platt and Gosling himself.
