If you’ve been online recently, you may have noticed the less-than-stellar reviews of ABC’s Dirty Dancing remake. Starring Abigail Breslin in the #iconic role of Baby and newcomer Colt Prattes as Johnny, the made-for-TV reboot aired Wednesday night only to accumulate mostly poor reviews. It received a 13-per-cent-fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes (to no one’s surprise), […]

In some cosmic switcheroo, Taylor Swift may just have been the perfect megawatt replacement for Meryl Streep last night at Grey Goose Soho House. Streep had been the most anticipated guest of TIFF 2013 in connection with her latest sure-to-be Oscar nominated leading role in August: Osage County, but bowed out at the last minute due to illness. There were tears for many, especially one pint sized fan who wore a “Meryl in training” T-shirt to the film’s screening at Roy Thompson Hall earlier that evening. Not for the film’s cast and Gucci and Holt Renfrew’s hosted after-party guests however—they all seemed thrilled by the surprise appearance by Swift, who showed up in a wowza Calvin Klein Collection number after walking the red carpet of One Chance. Flanked by Harvey Weinstein and a dapper Brenton Thwaites who I’m sure will be the talk of the blogs all day long (he’s about to be a Disney prince!), Swift held court on the second floor for most of the night, that is, while she wasn’t busy hanging with the film’s star studded cast, aka. the fixtures of the rip-roarious festivities.

Hollywood’s biggest stars arrived last night for TIFF 2013’s most anticipated world premiere of August: Osage County. The film has been getting much Oscar buzz , which isn’t surprising considering its all-star cast. While two of the big Hollywood names, Meryl Streep and George Clooney, who produced the film, didn’t show up at last night’s red carpet event, there was more than enough attention with the sea of fans and photographers eagerly waiting outside Roy Thompson Hall.

Straying away from her usual go-to black ensemble, Julia Roberts glowed in a playful yet elegant red mini dress from Dolce & Gabbana’s Fall 2013 collection. With the red shift dress already featuring intricate lace embroidery and bell sleeves, the actress toned down the colour scheme in the accessories department with a neutral clutch and matching shoes. With her million-dollar smile making the perfect accessory, the lady in red (get it?) showed off her effortless beauty in a messy bun, oxblood nails and neutral pink lips.

Considering Holt Renfrew hosts the TIFF Variety Studio every year, one would expect all the stars to be immaculately dressed (quick shop before the presser, anyone?). Well it seems someone must have been thinking like us because all the celebs were dressed to the nines in their designer wares.

A newly-engaged Scarlett Johansson was spotted perusing the men’s section (buying goodies for her fiancé, perhaps?) in a paneled plaid/leather dress by Sachin + Babi. Paired with chunky, patent, platform Robert Clergerie loafers, it was a total ‘90s throwback. The only thing that had us a little confused was her pin-up girl hair, which seemed a bit too fussy for her elegant-grunge look.

As expected, Third Person co-stars Mila Kunis and Olivia Wilde both knocked it out of the proverbial park with their haute wares. The Black Swan star chose a very slimming/Slimane (get it?) Saint Laurent tuxedo and Nicholas Kirkwood heels, while Wilde went a little more unconventional in an embellished Marios Schwab top and skirt and Jimmy Choo heels.

For the dozens of fans who stuck it out till 11:30 last night, it was worth the wait. Jessica Chastain arrived 2.5 hours into the Instyle and Hollywood Foreign Press Association party at the Windsor Arms Hotel. But when she finally pulled up to the red carpet, she eagerly crossed the street to sign autographs […]

See the best celebrity hair colour changes up close »

We’re smack in the middle of the lazy, hazy days of summer and, if you’re anything like us, heat and humidity equal doing as little as possible when it comes to hair and makeup. Which makes it the perfect time to mix things up with a new hair colour—aside from an afternoon spent at the salon (or at the hands of a trusted friend) a new shade is the easiest way to refresh your otherwise low-maintenance look.

In order to inspire a change, we’re taking a look back at some of the best celebrity dye jobs from the past few months. While a number of these looks were all part of the day’s work—like Jennifer Lawrence ditching her Katniss hair colour for honey blonde or Emma Stone returning to her (faux) red roots—other dye jobs seemed to signal a change in personality. There is no doubt, after all, that a new hair colour can make you feel like a new person. (At least, that’s what Miley Cyrus keeps telling us!)

After trolling through the Yorkville and King West neighbourhoods, it was a delightful refresher to attend a party at a venue I actually enjoy. Last night at the Horseshoe Tavern, the folks from the film Janie Jones had themselves a little soiree, where cast member Abigail Breslin even got up on stage.
