Maple Leaf Pedro Pascal prefers Canada Materialists comes out on Friday and earlier this week, Vogue released an “off the cuff” interview with Dakota Johnson and Pedro Pascal promoting the movie – the whole thing was really cute, their chemistry is fun, the way it’s fun when two friends, who are super comfortable with each other, By Lainey • Jun 11, 2025 04:12 pm

Maple Leaf Intro for April 1, 2025 Dear Gossips, It’s April 1st, aka April Fool’s Day, so let’s talk about the artist widely considered to have been the biggest fool over the last year: Drake.

Maple Leaf Intro for February 10, 2025 Dear Gossips, Coming to you from the nuked remains of Toronto after what can only be described as total annihilation last night – even though the city has no business at the Super Bowl.

Maple Leaf Endless Bieber Speculation The immediate impetus for this post is the internet popping off because Justin Bieber seemingly unfollowed Hailey Bieber on Instagram.

Maple Leaf Jim and Keanu: A Canadian Double Photos like this, where I’m from, are kind of a big deal.

Maple Leaf Justin and Hailey go to church Hailey and Justin Bieber announced the birth of their first child, Jack, just over a month ago. Since then they’ve stepped out a few times – for dinner and church, which is where they were yesterday. These church outfits are making me laugh.

Maple Leaf Ryan and Eva in Paris again We’ve seen a lot of celebrities in Paris for the Olympics over the last ten days. We very rarely see photos of Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes anywhere, let alone at the most high-key event going on in the world right now. That, alone, makes it newsworthy. Ryan and By Lainey • Aug 06, 2024 11:05 am

Maple Leaf When Ryan met Madonna Do you think Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman even know what day it is anymore? These two have been promoting Deadpool & Wolverine everywhere, literally around the world, for weeks. And it’s giving Tom Cruise in terms of ubiquity but also energy. It must help, of course, that Ryan By Lainey • Jul 22, 2024 02:52 pm
