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.

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
Blame Selena for all of us Justin’s problems
Oh good. It’s time for our favourite excuse: blame the bitch for everything. Justin Bieber’s been behaving badly the last few weeks. He shows up late for his shows. He baby-fights the paps. He allegedly drives up and down recklessly on his street and spits in neighbour’s faces when they come to complain. Full Story

Sarah from Cinesnark is the comedy expert around here and I haven’t asked her yet what she thinks of the new red band trailer for This Is The End but me, since I still have the sense of humour of 13 year old, obviously I’m all over it. Full Story

Blake Lively married a Canadian. She’s been in Canada for a good part of 2013 as her Canadian husband, Ryan Reynolds, has been working on a film here with Atom Egoyan. And not just big city Canada but small town Canada too. Click here for a refresher if you missed those pics. Full Story
Making enemies of rich people
It's one thing to declare war on the paps. The paps don't have the resources Justin Bieber does. And many civilians would find it hard to sympathise with a pap. But Justin Bieber has a new adversary now. JB returned home yesterday and allegedly drove up and down his street aggressively in his new ride, supposedly threatening the safety of his neighbours.

Little Baby’s naked phase
I hear this from time to time from friends who have kids: “Oh she’s just going through a biting phase.” “Oh he’s just going through a fruit phase. He just wants to eat fruit.” And several times: “Oh he’s just going through a naked phase. Full Story

Justin Bieber’s not pouty in Spain

Justin Bieber is now in Spain. He performed in Madrid last night. This is a different face than the one we saw for a couple of weeks in England where he celebrated his 19th birthday by taking his shirt off, arguing with club owners over age restrictions, collapsing on stage, shouting at people over Twitter, and threatening to f-ck up the paps while being lifted out of his car seat by his babyguard.

This has to stop
I really need Jim Carrey to stop with his feet. He keeps walking around with these feet. To promote Burt Wonderstone, I guess? And it’s supposed to be funny... It’s not funny. It’s gross. Maybe it wouldn’t be so gross if there was something caricaturish about them beyond the size. Full Story
