Overheard while watching Jon Hamm walk the red carpet for Friends With Kids: (Girl) “He’s the most beautiful man in the world!” (Boy) “He looks like he just woke up.” Oh dear, when will they learn that green is not their finest shade?

While Holt Renfrew didn’t have their annual film festival bash this year, they did try something new with the Variety Studio. The in-store area, heavily blocked off from snooping shoppers, was a hub for talent to come in and get interviewed for Variety.com–and get a little something something to take home. The full complement of […]

When it comes to a party with on-site battle tag without being a 12th birthday party, who would be a better fit to to DJ than Peaches Geldof?

Her name doesn’t come without mild (okay, major) undertones of her extreme hipster-ness, It girl-ness, and–dare we say it– riding on daddy’s fame-ness, but if you’ve looked at her Twitter feed lately you’d know that at heart she’s just a nerd  with a deep affinity for 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Just when you think your evening is a bust, you just might run into Geoffrey Rush at Parkdale watering hole Salvador Darling. Mr. Rush met the bar’s owner in the Caribbean, stopped by for a drink, and bought this lucky blogger a dirty martini and split a cig with her outside. [She Does The City]

We spent the weekend hopping from party to vodka-soaked party (really, it appeared that every grain alcohol company in existence threw a TIFF bash) to keep tabs the celebs that have infiltrated the city. Read on for what Carey Mulligan wore to the hottest party of the weekend, Martin Sheen flashing his underpants, our many […]

We were meeting a friend at Queen and Spadina last night, when suddenly True Blood‘s Ryan Kwanten appeared before us, street lights glinting off of his skin like he’s about to take down some drug-dealing werepanthers. But he did not ask us to join him on an ill-advised spree of justice, but instead inquired where […]

Here’s a TIFF party you don’t need an invite for: Tomorrow, September 12, the TIFF Bell Lightbox is throwing a huge block party to celebrate the grand opening of Toronto’s newest movie house. The ribbon cutting is at noon, but musical festivities happen all day. The line-up includes Fefe Dobson, The Sadies, and, just announced, […]

Big day over here up in Yorkville, namely at the Four Seasons for a luncheon with gossip guru George Christy. While the lunch itself had the strictest guestlist, the less rigidly-guarded opening reception turned out to be quite fruitful for celeb spotting. First, we had Jennifer Garner in the Four Seasons lobby in a grey […]

Rooftop parties really work better when it isn’t freezing, but the folks at Absolut, despite being able to project art installations onto neighbouring office towers, just can’t predict the weather. The young and hip gathered on the rooftop of a downtown parkade last night for the vodka brand’s TIFF fete. The art projections, by the way, were part of Canadian visual artists Kellen Hatanaka and Beside Herself‘s task to transform a plain ole rooftop into a full-fledged art party.

When skimming through TIFF coverage on most mediums, what you can’t see is the dark circles under the reporters’ eyes, caffeine stained teeth and, depending on what you’re reading, hints of a champagne hangover. Red carpet reporters like ETalk‘s Tanya Kim are on camera all the time, so they don’t have the luxury of invisibility. We had a chance to catch up with her over email on how she keeps it fresh during TIFF, who she’s excited to interview and her red carpet wardrobe.

What will you be doing this year for the festival? “I will be hosting Etalk every day, as well as interviewing stars when they visit our Joe Fresh Style etalk Celebrity Interview Lounge at the Intercontinental Hotel, catching up with celebs at their premieres and galas, BBMing fans and curiosity seekers, tweeting, and slipping in some “off duty” fun at various parties if there’s time (and energy!)” left over.
