Maple Leaf Drake does it again He’s so f-cking good at this. By “this” I mean everything. During a weekend that belonged to Cardi B, Drake still managed to drop a hit song and viral video without looking like the dick who was trying to hijack Cardi B’s moment. Drake’s Nice For What By Kathleen • Apr 09, 2018 02:48 pm
Girlcrushes Intro for April 6, 2018 Dear Gossips, A cop and a killer are obsessed with each other. It becomes less about the catching of the criminal than it is about the connection between them.

Break Ups The Weeknd’s Selena Melancholy The Weeknd dropped a surprise six-song album on Friday called My Dear Melancholy, and it is exactly as full of heartbreak and angst as it sounds.

For me, the highlights of last night’s generally pleasant and refreshingly inclusive Juno awards were indisputably Jessie Reyez and Daniel Caesar, separately and together. Separately, they By Kathleen • Mar 26, 2018 09:33 am
Maple Leaf Intro for March 26, 2018 Dear Gossips, Over the last few weeks we’ve seen the power of youth, potential, and emerging talent manifesting a possibility that previous generations have laid the groundwork for.

Quiveration Shawn Mendes snapped In the good way. It has become increasingly evident to me this week that I can no longer ignore Shawn Mendes. Of course, he’s been around.

Friday Night Lights Taylor Kitsch on a date? I am still invested in Taylor Kitsch. Even though he can’t seem to catch a break professionally (despite promising trailers and decent reviews, Waco came and went rather quietly), I still care about Taylor Kitsch. Riggins forever.

Sports Intro for February 20, 2018 Dear Gossips, Holy sh-t, that Olympic free dance competition last night. But this is what you want when the gold is on the line, right?

One is that Drake By Kathleen • Jan 22, 2018 03:03 pm
Maple Leaf Celine for the weekend This story came out earlier in the week but I’ve been saving it for today because I had a feeling I’d need to go into the weekend with Celine Dion.

Maple Leaf Meghan Markle, the new star of the royal family As I wrote in the site intro today, Canada was well represented by Meghan Markle in her style choices. The earrings were Birks. The coat was Line, which, ahem, by the way, Sasha has written about often. The dress is P.A.R.O.S.H. The ring? Prince Harry By Lainey • Nov 27, 2017 10:08 am
