The First Couple of Canadian Music at the MMVAs

The MuchMusic Video Awards happened last night in Toronto. And our Canadian pride and joy, our answer to Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, blessed the occasion with a lot of leather, a lot of extensions, and a spiked crown. Avril performed at the event and won an award. Chad did not perform as he was only there to support his future wife, without his bandmates. Full Story
Rachel McAdams stays the same
It’s what I have always said I love most about Rachel McAdams (and we love her a lot here at LaineyGossip.com) -- Rachel isn’t LA. Rachel works, and then she comes home. She stays in Toronto. And it can get cold in Toronto. It’s not the every day sunny skies of Los Angeles. It’s a pain in the ass to get around when it snows. Full Story
Keanu's Movie for Nerds

We've seen many faces of Keanu Reeves over the years. There's Keanu the insanely successful blockbuster star, Keanu the art house gay-ish muse, Keanu the idiot, Keanu the romcom leading man, Keanu the sad Chateau Marmont cliche. Now say hello to Keanu the director. The trailer for his first feature film, called Man of Tai Chi, has been released and, while it's probably not what you were expected from him, it also confirms some assumptions we've all been making about him for some time now.

Kit’s tight white tee
Well this helps on a sluggish morning. Jon Snow arrived in Vancouver yesterday for reshoots on his film The Seventh Son. He looks really good in a tight white t-shirt. You wouldn’t know from watching the show since he’s always hidden underneath all those layers of crow. Kit’s been spending a lot of time in Canada lately. Full Story
Taylor Kitsch: a year later
It’s been a year since, well, since Taylor Kitsch’s attempt to become a big blockbuster movie star went bust. Texas Forever and Riggins for life, but there’s no other way to say it. So what do you do? Hockey analogy seems to apply here -- we take it shift by shift, so let’s call last year the first period, and after a solid intermission, we’re now beginning the second.

Linda is single
How did I miss these pictures of Linda Evangelista at the CFDA Awards the other night? Because I’m a stupid c-nt, that’s why. For making Linda wait a day. I’m sorry. She is still my everything, even though that dress is all kinds of knock-off. Page Six Full Story

Katie Holmes looked very cheerful yesterday on the set of Mania Days in New York as rumours continue to build that her relationship with co-star Luke Kirby has become romantic. The two have been spending time together off-set, after work. According to the NY Daily News Full Story
Baby drives a fast car

Will Smith had it right in Summertime (I love that jam): Every moment frontin’ and maxin’ Chillin’ in the car they spent all day waxin’ Leanin’ to the side but you can't speed through Two miles an hour so everybody see you I mean, unless you’re on a race track, why city-drive a nice car like it’s a race? Come on, half the reason you’re buying it is because you want people to see you in it. Full Story
Jon Snow and Canada’s Sweetheart
Rachel McAdams does not live in Los Angeles. As I’ve said repeatedly, it’s one of my favourite things about her. Instead she prefers home, in Toronto. She was out in Toronto this weekend for dinner and drinks with a group of friends... that included Kit Harington. This photo was posted on Twitter by @VanessaElecia Full Story
Taylor, Selena, and Justin Bieber

There were two moments worth watching last night at the Billboard Music Awards: Chris Brown singing BADLY off-key, and all the drama that went down between Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, and Justin Bieber. More on this in a minute. First, let’s discuss fashion. HATE the white Atelier Versace on Gomez. Full Story

The CW upfronts happened in New York today. And the stars of one of the network’s most important shows, The Vampire Diaries, turned up together, but not. It was confirmed last week that Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder have ended their relationship. Needless to say, there were no group shots. Full Story
Hair cut for Ryan Gosling
I know you’re out there, Matt Smith/Dr Who fans. And now you get to make out with the Ryan Gosling fans. Here they are, in Detroit on the set of Gosling’s How To Catch A Monster the other day. As you can see, Ryan is helping Matt “find the motivation”. Part of that motivation came from a total head buzz. Full Story

I suppose the signs were there -- Nina Dobrev and Julianne Hough seem to be inseparable lately, single girls enjoying their freedom, just in time for summer. Now US Weekly has confirmed exclusively that Nina, like Julianne before her, is indeed officially single -- after three years, it’s over between her and Ian Somerhalder. Full Story
Worst MET Try: Jessica Pare

Here’s how Duana described Jessica Pare’s MET Gala look to me over email: “Jessica Pare. Stitches.” It is indeed funny. And it’s supposed to be fun, but not funny. Like, the desired reaction is not to be laughed at. And that’s happening here because while too many went under-punk, Pare ended up TRY Punk. Full Story
