Maple Leaf Intro for June 26, 2017 Dear Gossips, There was a lot of nostalgia last night at the BET Awards. New Edition was honoured. Mary J Blige showed us how great it can be to set yourself free. And Xscape came back onstage together after 18 years apart. But to balance the nostalgia, there were several By Lainey • Jun 26, 2017 09:02 am
Maple Leaf This week in Celine Last night Celine Dion performed in London. There’s a rumour that Adele visited her before the show and that they’re now trying to figure out a way to work together.

Maple Leaf Ryan Gosling and Elvis As mentioned, I took the day off on Friday because I was at Graceland. It was my first time. I say this because having been there, I now realise I have to go back. How stupid to think that once would be enough. It’s not enough. Because I have By Lainey • Jun 19, 2017 02:27 pm
Maple Leaf Intro for June 19, 2017 Dear Gossips, Last September, I posted in this space about A Tribe Called Red and their album We Are The Halluci Nation. They were on The Social and, in my opinion, that interview remains one of the best, if not the best, interview segment we’ve ever done on our By Lainey • Jun 19, 2017 09:29 am
Maple Leaf Celine’s European summer It was about a year ago now that Celine Dion took over Paris Fashion Week, do you remember? Of course you remember. She sashayed out of that hotel every single day in one fabulous outfit after another – a word I use sparingly but she deserves it more than anyone else By Lainey • Jun 14, 2017 10:57 am
TV Updates Do you miss Sandra Oh? In Shonda Rhimes’s book, Year Of Yes, she writes a lot about writing. She writes about where she writes (sometimes in the pantry), about how writing is never complete, about “laying track” for more writing. And she writes about the characters she’s written. The character she writes about By Lainey • Jun 13, 2017 01:34 pm
Maple Leaf What happened, Ellen Page Ellen Page earned an Oscar nomination at 20 for Juno. She starred in cult favorite Hard Candy and the underrated Whip It. She’s been in the X-Men and has worked with Christopher Nolan. It’s not like Ellen Page hasn’t Done Things. She totally has. And everyone likes By Sarah • Jun 13, 2017 12:22 pm
Maple Leaf Bloody Gos When last we checked in with Blade Runner 2049, Ryan Gosling was shilling at CinemaCon. Today, we have a snippet of footage teasing the first trailer premiere in three days. It’s high contrast, ORANGE, and The Gos is looking a bit beat up and bloody. (Nothing will top how By Sarah • May 05, 2017 03:30 pm
Maple Leaf ALL THE FEELINGS, ALL THE SONGS Sorry. I don’t mean to yell at you with the capitals. But… the only way I can convey my feelings or, more specifically, the feelings that Celine Dion is allowing me to feel IS BY SHOUTING AT YOU WITH THESE WORDS. You thought we were done with Celine at By Lainey • May 04, 2017 03:41 pm
Maple Leaf All The Feelings… at the Met Gala! Duana and I were in New York this weekend. There was a lot of emotion this weekend. Probably most of it was about Hamilton (we went on Saturday night) but… now I’m thinking some of those feelings could have been because we were feeling them from the source of By Lainey • May 01, 2017 10:23 am
Maple Leaf Alessia Cara: Breakthrough to Pop Album Alessia Cara went from winning the Juno Award for Breakthrough Artist of the Year in 2016 to walking away with a trophy for Pop Album of the Year in 2017. Last year, Lainey wrote about her seemingly unflappable on-stage confidence, and last night, it was back in full force. There& By Joanna • Apr 03, 2017 10:16 am
Maple Leaf Sarah McLachlan: Hall of Famer Sarah McLachlan was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame at the Juno Awards last night, and beyond her two performances, touching speech and philanthropic message, she looked phenomenal in two different looks at the ceremony. Fit, funky, joyous, 49, and killing it in a jumpsuit. Look at her By Joanna • Apr 03, 2017 09:45 am
Maple Leaf Rachel & Jamie on the move It’s been a while since we’ve seen Rachel McAdams. Here she is at LAX yesterday. Not pictured but present, Jamie Linden, her boyfriend. Since she and Jamie started dating, it feels to me like she’s been spending more time in Los Angeles. Before, if she didn’t By Lainey • Mar 30, 2017 12:03 pm
Maple Leaf Exclusive: Look out for Ethan Hawke & Sally Hawkins in Maudie According to Ethan Hawke, working with Sally Hawkins in Maudie - a film about Canadian folk artist Maud Lewis, who had juvenile rheumatoid arthritis - was a "match made in cinema heaven." Maudie is set in Nova Scotia and shot in Newfoundland and it meant so much that By Joanna • Mar 29, 2017 10:12 am
Maple Leaf Drake gets it together That’s the general consensus. More Life was supposed to drop in December. Then it was January. After Views, the overrated, undeserving Album of the Year nominee that came out less than a year ago, I wanted to be "meh" about More Life. I wanted Drake to make By Kathleen • Mar 20, 2017 01:10 pm
Maple Leaf Love at the Aquarium Selena Gomez joined The Weeknd in Toronto last week. He booked out an entire theatre so that they could watch Get Out. They also had brunch and went shopping.
