MET personal style match: Nina Dobrev

As you know, my complaint about Nina Dobrev -- who I adore -- has always been that her aesthetic is a little too... Eastern Bloc figure skater. Think ... Katerina Witt. Right? Finally a theme and an event that suits her personal style. This is exactly right. A little tacky, but sassy -- which kinda defined the 80s, so why not a throwback to Demi Moore at the Oscars in 1989? On this night it works, although, ahem, it also says everything about what I think of Monique L’huillier. Full Story
The director lifts boxes
Of course he does, when he’s Ryan Gosling. Ryan is directing his first film called How To Catch A Monster. Here he is lifting sh-t on set in Detroit the other day. I dunno, I thought it might make you swoony. Last week in this article Full Story
Cory & Lea at Game 1
Cory Monteith completed a month of rehab last week and came home to Vancouver with Lea Michele just in time for the start of the playoffs. Here they are at Round 1 Game 1 of the San Jose Sharks vs the Vancouver Canucks last night. They put their faces up on the big screen in the first period, both tricked out head to toe in Canucks gear. Full Story

Or is this a onesie? It's Justin Bieber, on tour in Sweden the other day, grooving onto his bus with a member of his entourage like he's some kind of badass. In his mind, this was a cool move in the moment. And, I guess, his fans thought so too? Interesting the difference in perspective of what's "cool". Full Story
This may not be true by the time I land
I thought about writing this article yesterday. Eventually I decided against it because if they got into a fight, it would have been a waste of my time and then I’d have to write another article to update the situation. It is now 10:30pm ET. So far, they haven’t changed their minds yet. Full Story
Ryan Reynolds vs Will Smith
Every year a big budget movie takes a sh-t at the box office. The other day I predicted that Will Smith’s After Earth would hold that title in 2013. Sarah from Cinesnark didn’t disagree, but after the trailer for R.I.P.D. was released last week, she thinks it might be R. Full Story
Freak Flags, no Bieber and... no Belly-cupping

The Juno Awards happened in Regina last night. Carly Rae Jepsen won Album of the Year. And she beat out Justin Bieber for Pop Album of the Year too. Here’s what JB tweeted in response to that: @carlyraejepsen Full Story
This again?!
I guess this is the age. You can make good decisions for two straight weeks. But then you’re dumb again the next day. According to TMZ, Selena Gomez is dumb again. Gomez was sighted on a flight from LA to Olso last night. Full Story
Anne Frank & Justin Bieber
“I prayed, ‘God, you don’t want this Jewish kid to be Justin’s man, do you?...God, I gave him to you. You could send me a Christian man, a Christian label!’” -- Pattie Mallette in The New York Times Full Story
Baby's debit card
Parents of teens -- this is for you. Justin Bieber has signed a $3.75 million year long deal with SpendSmart to launch a debit card aimed at adolescents. In short, mom and dad load up the card and Emmellee or Madycyn learn about how to budget on books and bus fare (sure, let's go with that) while staring at Bieber's face. Full Story
Canada’s Sweetheart stays in Canada
Wenn, Splash
You needed a Canadian palate cleanser after that, didn’t you? How about Rachel McAdams, our sweetheart? She really is. Rachel was on Kimmel last night in purple pants and a purple blouse that seemed, maybe?, a little too harsh with her hair? No matter. It doesn’t take away from how lovely she is. Full Story
The anthem of the First Canadian Couple of Music
Avril Lavigne, who will soon marry Nickelback’s Chad Kroeger, has released a new song. It’s called Here’s To Never Growing Up. Avril told Ryan Seacrest that Here’s To Never Growing Up is: “…a pop rock tune. And it's just about being young, having fun, being present, living in the moment and that's what I love to do. Full Story
Only God Forgives Ryan Gosling who doesn’t speak
A red band trailer for Nicolas Winding Refn’s new film, his second in a row with Ryan Gosling, was released online yesterday. As you know, their first collaboration was Drive. Ryan Gosling didn’t talk much in Drive. If this trailer is any indication, he speaks even less in Only God Forgives. Full Story
Trade Deadline with Rachel McAdams
It’s NHL Trade Deadline Day. Which has nothing to do with Rachel McAdams, but she was photographed at Disneyland yesterday with her family wearing a Boston Bruins vs Vancouver Canucks Stanley Cup Finals cap so... As of this writing, there have been NO TRADES. TSN has been live all day dedicating their entire broadcast to trades. Full Story
