Maple Leaf Intro for May 22, 2014 Dear Gossips, On April 17, when the Cannes Film Festival lineup was announced, here’s what I wrote on the blog intro that day: “Xavier Dolan. Jesus. He’s only 25 years old. And it seems like every year Dolan has a film for the festival. So incredibly productive. Dolan’ By Lainey • May 22, 2014 09:02 am
Maple Leaf The hottest guy in Cannes I didn’t think it could get any sexier in Cannes than Roberto Cavalli on a Segway. Please appreciate: But then Justin Bieber came this year and decided he would take his shirt off as often as possible since Matthew McConaughey doesn’t do that anymore. Here he is, walking By Lainey • May 21, 2014 01:38 pm
Maple Leaf Blake’s big dress Dylan’s over in Cannes shooting footage for etalk with our host Tanya Kim. They’ve been sending back some great shots and interviews that will air on the show all week, including some inadvertent (?) gossip I thought you might enjoy. I suppose it’s all in the interpretation. So By Lainey • May 21, 2014 09:57 am
Maple Leaf Leo & Bieber in Cannes Leonardo DiCaprio has no official reason to be in Cannes. Actually that’s not true. His official reason for being in Cannes is To Party. Always. Because it never gets old for him. Year after year, the yachts, the cheesy Euro clubs, the dance beats, the spraying of champagne all By Lainey • May 20, 2014 11:01 am
Maple Leaf Blake of Monaco As expected, Blake Lively accompanied husband to the Cannes premiere of The Captive on Friday night. When I saw her dress, what popped into my head was... Grace Of Monaco, the opening night film, starring Nicole Kidman. Blake was there too. She wore brown-ish wine-colour Gucci. Boring. But can you By Lainey • May 19, 2014 04:44 pm
Maple Leaf Ryan Reynolds kicks off Cannes Canadian invasion There are a lot of Canadians representing at Cannes this year. Ryan Reynolds arrived in Cannes today in advance of the premiere of The Captive, directed by another Canadian, Atom Egoyan. As you know, Reynolds’s wife, Blake Lively, has already been at the festival for a couple of days By Lainey • May 15, 2014 11:48 am
Maple Leaf Pull down your pants Lower! Justin Bieber went horseback riding yesterday. He had to take his shirt off. Then, when he dismounted, he had to make sure his pants weren’t hitched up too high. High meaning normal, like, hip level. Hip level is too high. The pants must be low enough to see By Lainey • May 13, 2014 04:02 pm
Maple Leaf Blake & Pam: Blondes in Cannes You can’t imagine how much joy I’m taking in putting these two in the same article… Blake Lively has arrived in Cannes likely for her role as L’Oreal ambassador but her husband, Ryan Reynolds, has a film in the festival from director Atom Egoyan called The Captive By Lainey • May 13, 2014 01:06 pm
Maple Leaf The perfect son Justin Bieber took his ma to the Clippers game for Mother’s Day yesterday. Apparently they booed him when he moved to kiss her. It didn’t deter him. He gave one of his best performances in a long time. And by best, I mean that he was the least By Lainey • May 12, 2014 10:52 am
Maple Leaf Rachel kissing Patrick Please note, Rachel McAdams is not kissing Ryan Gosling. Please note, they have not gotten back together. I stress this because there was some bullsh-t that was reported a couple of months ago when people thought Gosling and Eva Mendes broke up. They did not. But you keep wishing for By Lainey • May 05, 2014 12:02 pm
Maple Leaf Ellen Page’s FLARE cover The June issue of FLARE will be available on NextIssue on May 3 and newsstands May 12. The cover? Ellen Page! And her abs. She’s expressing herself. And I’m expressing that I’m obsessed with her. This cover is THE BEST. “Loving ladies and living proud” There couldn’ By Lainey • Apr 29, 2014 10:47 am
Maple Leaf Intro for April 29, 2014 Dear Gossips, Everything Almost. It’s Jann Arden’s new album, released today. I’ve had the honour of working with Jann the last few weeks and knowing her the last few months on The Social. There never was a more generous, honest, crazy kind, and hilarious artist…friend…person.

Maple Leaf Taylor Kitsch in the hockey box Taylor Kitsch was in Dallas last night to watch the Stars even up their playoff series against the Anaheim Ducks who were playing without Ryan Getzlaf. Kitsch is Canadian. He’s obviously a hockey fan. Why Dallas? My presumption: Friday Night Lights. Filmed in Austin. And he has a home By Lainey • Apr 24, 2014 04:36 pm
Maple Leaf 14 and under This is what I always say about Avril Lavigne: her fan base never grows with her. So she has to keep going back to mining from the 14 and under demo. That’s the only age range that will appreciate –if that’s the word – her new video for the By Lainey • Apr 23, 2014 12:39 pm
Sports Courtside priorities #WeTheNorth Jacek’s right. If I want a team to win, I have to get as far away from them as possible. As expected, Drake was courtside at the Raptors game last night to watch the Northern Uprising even the series against the Brooklyn Nets. Now I’m curious to By Lainey • Apr 23, 2014 11:06 am
Sports Drake The North Game 2, the Toronto Raptors host the Brooklyn Nets tonight at the Air Canada Centre. Why am I in New York? Well, Jacek always says I jinx my teams. Maybe it’s a good thing because we lost on Saturday and that can’t happen again this evening. The Raptors By Lainey • Apr 22, 2014 09:52 am
