Meg Ryan was at Toscana in Brentwood last night, and she showed us her bare face and her roots! And that's not all - in the upcoming issue of In Style, the 46-year-old actress breaks her eight year silence and reveals the details of her affair with Aussie hunk Russell Crowe, as well as the downfall of her marriage to Dennis Quaid.

Meg discusses her fling with Russell, and says, "I think he took a big hit. But Russell didn't break up the marriage. He was definitely there at the end, but it wasn't his fault. I was a mess. I hurt him too at the end. I couldn't be in another long relationship, it wasn't the time for that. So I got out." Even though she hooked up with Russell while she was still married, Meg tells the magazine, "Dennis was not faithful to me for a very long time, and that was very painful. I found out more about that after I was divorced."

Additionally, Meg reveals that being labeled "America's Sweetheart" over two decades ago wasn't exactly what she wanted. "It's an old-fashioned idea, so anachronistic. I understood it was a compliment about being lovable, and it felt nice but it also felt, after a time, like ideas were being projected onto me that had nothing to do with me. The girl next door to what? I never felt like a very conventional person," she says.
