Maple Leaf Fangirling Sarah Gadon I love Sarah Gadon. So I’m gushing here: If Hollywood were a stock exchange, you want to buy shares in Sarah Gadon… and fast. Much like Tatiana Maslany, Sarah won big at the Canadian Screen Awards too — but she didn’t take home a trophy. In fact, she wasn’ By Joanna • Mar 02, 2015 12:47 pm
Maple Leaf Ryan Gosling’s new tattoo Could just be pen. Temporary writing. But given the direction the letters are facing, I’ll guess permanent until we hear otherwise. Because it would be easier for a tattoo artist to write the letters facing themselves than have to come behind you, or get you to twist your hand By Lainey • Mar 02, 2015 11:38 am
TV Updates Tatiana’s 3 FLAREs New issue of FLARE features Tatiana Maslany on the cover. But because it’s Tatiana and Tatiana has the range, there are actually 3 covers – see attached below. My favourite is #PunkPerfection, that Joan Jett shag looks so good on her. And the timing could not be better. Tatiana was By Lainey • Mar 02, 2015 09:13 am
Maple Leaf Intro for March 2, 2015 Dear Gossips, One week after winning Oscar, Julianne Moore showed up at the Canadian Screen Awards last night in Toronto. She was nominated for her role in David Cronenberg’s Maps To The Stars. And lost to Anne Dorval for her performance in Xavier Dolan’s Mommy. Still, Julianne – who By Lainey • Mar 02, 2015 08:44 am
Maple Leaf Intro for February 26, 2015 Dear Gossips, For the last few years, Ellen DeGeneres has been doing this bit on her show where she puts an earpiece on a celebrity and gets them to say whatever she orders them to say to unsuspecting civilians. David Beckham’s done it. My favourite was Sofia Vergara. Click By Lainey • Feb 26, 2015 10:02 am
Maple Leaf Ryan Gosling's new best friend Ryan Gosling was at Disneyland yesterday. I guess I came a day too late. But he's here so much - as we've seen - it's not like it's totally impossible that he wouldn't be back again 24 hours later. Anyway, By Lainey • Feb 24, 2015 01:33 pm
Maple Leaf Tegan and Sara & Lonely Island: Best Worst Song Nothing but love for the steeze that Tegan and Sara brought to the carpet at the Oscars, and not just because they’re Canadian. Also not just because Mae Whitman is in their I Was A Fool video. But that too. All of that, on top of the fact that By Lainey • Feb 23, 2015 03:51 am
Maple Leaf Roast for ego A promo for Justin Bieber's upcoming roast on Comedy Central has just been released. Like I said before, I don't know why people were initially so happy about this like they actually thought he'd be embarrassed. About what? He gets to take his shirt By Lainey • Feb 17, 2015 03:55 pm
Maple Leaf Everybody is Beyonce I mean I guess you can’t do something like this anymore without mentioning her. And she wants the credit, godammit! (Or at least Kanye West does.) Drake released a short film yesterday. Then, last night, a new album. Tape? He’s calling it a tape. Collection? Whatever. It’s By Lainey • Feb 13, 2015 02:05 pm
TV Updates The True Detective denim ad Rachel McAdams, Colin Farrell, and Taylor Kitsch were photographed in LA shooting True Detective season 2 yesterday. It seems like they were shooting some kind of armed standoff. As you know, all three of them play police officers. I like Rachel in cop mode. My Photo Assumption is that all By Lainey • Feb 10, 2015 12:54 pm
Maple Leaf The Justin Bieber Contrition Tour Week 2 Justin Bieber was on Ellen last week to show you that he’s not a dick anymore. Then he posted another “I’m sorry” video on Instagram calling himself “arrogant and conceited”. Because, as I surmised at the time (click here for a refresher), everybody loves Nick Jonas’s Jealous.

Maple Leaf Ryan Reynolds: NEW DAD on Letterman When was the last time you saw Ryan Reynolds on the talk show circuit? He can be charming, seems to love to gossip and is cagey as hell. Isn’t that what we’re looking for in a late night guest? Well, almost. The NEW DAD popped by Letterman last By Joanna • Feb 05, 2015 09:54 am
Maple Leaf Her name is not Violet Sing it like My Name Is Not Susan. Anyway, after some random posted some random tweet about Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds naming their daughter Violet, everyone thought her name was Violet. Her name is not Violet. Confirmed definitively now by Ryan Reynolds to USA Today: “No that’s not By Lainey • Feb 03, 2015 11:35 am
Maple Leaf Rachel’s Nice Guy date There’s a restaurant called The Nice Guy in LA. And Ryan Gosling is shooting a movie called The Nice Guys. So for a minute there I was like…OMG? No. She went there for dinner with an unidentified dude who is demonstrably NOT anyone we know. And the paps By Lainey • Jan 30, 2015 10:41 am
Maple Leaf Justin Bieber: reformed and roastable? TMZ posted a story late last night about how Justin Bieber’s been changing his ways. He’s polite to people now. A couple of times this week in LA, he was out for dinner and paid for other people’s meals because they gave him a seat. Something like By Lainey • Jan 21, 2015 03:38 pm
