TIFF 2009 Coverage Kiki and Jesse: Hollywood’s Low-Key Power Couple Sorry to begin on a bummer but we can’t ignore this. Coronavirus deaths hit the 200,000 mark in the United States yesterday. Here in Canada, we’re seeing surges across the country. In Ontario, where I live, 475 new cases were confirmed Tuesday – the highest number since May. By Lainey • Sep 23, 2020 09:51 am
TIFF 2009 Coverage Talk To You Never! By Alan W Yes, I’m quoting Ebola. Please hold your fire! I'm infected. Just a little infected. It's not that I don't see the ridiculousness of Ebola, but I love ridiculousness. I think having an awareness of the dangers of Ebola is what By Lainey • Sep 21, 2009 08:42 am
Quiveration Edward Norton charms everyone He was at TIFF for Leaves of Grass. And the word on him is that he can be difficult, surly, temperamental. But aside from Colin Firth, Edward Norton was the most well liked during the festival. Polite, considerate, he charmed everyone, he had time for fans, he was obliging, he By Lainey • Sep 18, 2009 09:11 am
Quiveration Colin & Tom Please. These men. These suits. I love so much. Colin Firth was in the lobby the other day waiting to exit. I only saw him from behind at first. Noticed the suit. And the height. He is a tall, tall man. And he carries himself so beautifully it’s instantly By Lainey • Sep 17, 2009 11:59 am
TIFF 2009 Coverage How to party with U2 Champagne. Apparently they like their champagne. U2 played Toronto Wednesday, a well timed 2 show stop on their tour to coincide with the festival.

Girlcrushes Natalie by day and night There’s Shelfy…and then there’s Natalie. Jessica Biel has always referred to the “Top Tier”, a club to which she does not belong that, of course, includes Natalie Portman on a short list of young actors constantly presented with the most prestigious parts. Biel has blamed her exclusion By Lainey • Sep 17, 2009 03:59 am
Quiveration Luck of the Irish for Neil Jordan’s Ondine WRITTEN BY ALAN W. Last night, Jacek interrupted my Glee screening (party of one) to give me the low-down on my next assignment. Did you watch? Matthew Morrison singing Montell Jordan, Bel Biv Devoe, and Color Me Badd all in one episode? Enough said. Emily and I were both dancing By Lainey • Sep 17, 2009 02:40 am
Girlcrushes Robin, Keanu, and fangirling for Rebecca The Private Lives of Pippa Lee premiered at TIFF last night. I was assigned to the cover the carpet for etalk and when Rebecca Miller arrived, it was like Robert Pattinson for me. No one but Rebecca Miller could wear what she wore. I know you think it’s weird, By Lainey • Sep 16, 2009 12:38 pm
Girlcrushes Drew at TIFF Many of you have been eager for news about Drew Barrymore and Whip It at TIFF.

TIFF 2009 Coverage The Road Less Taken Viggo Mortensen is looking dandy as ever in this svelte black suit and pristine white shirt. And his hair looks so healthy and luscious, you know he likes to sit down in front of a mirror at night and brush it exactly 1000 times like Marcia Brady would do. As By Lainey • Sep 15, 2009 08:07 am
Style Favourite so far Style-wise… Naomi Watts. She was at TIFF yesterday at the Swarovski party and also on the carpet for her film Mother & Child. This jumpsuit and those shoes, it’s the best I’ve seen so far. She looked incredible. Chic, confident, comfortable, and tiny. Naomi seemed subdued last night. By Lainey • Sep 15, 2009 03:42 am
BFFs TIFF Bromance: just like Us! I love those pages in Us Weekly when Jennifer Garner goes grocery shopping or Tori Spelling is picking her wedge – just like Us! Cracks me up.

Quiveration Colin throws down Saturday night, Colin Farrell’s Triage screened at TIFF and I was on the carpet for the arrival wearing a new dress. My Nanette Lepore pixel. Love it so much.

Quiveration Michael Caine & Clive Owen The Grey Goose Soho House party on Saturday night was sick. The venue: a subway platform at Bay Station. Two trains with blue lit compartments lined each side of the platform and a long bar bordered one which, naturally, became my office for the evening. The event was in honour By Lainey • Sep 14, 2009 04:06 am
Lainey Interviews About the Jennifer’s Body screening Thursday night to kick off Midnight Madness at TIFF – a screening for Jennifer’s Body starring, as you know, Megan Fox as a high school girl and boy murdering demon written by Diablo Cody. Starting with Diablo Cody… I had Diablo Cody fatigue after Juno. If I’m honest though, By Lainey • Sep 12, 2009 06:49 am
Amazingness The George Mob Everyone here in Toronto is on high Clooney alert. Even though he hasn’t travelled more than 3 blocks from his hotel since arriving, he cannot go anywhere on foot. Must be in a car from stop to stop, even if it’s only 100 yards, not because he’s By Lainey • Sep 11, 2009 04:17 am
