Yes, our foremost interest in TIFF is style (see some of our favourite moments), but we attended enough premieres and parties to have more than a few brushes with celebrity. Click the images below to see our roundup of our favourite celeb run-ins, parties, gossip, and the one thing that was on everyone’s lips: Golf […]

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.

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 […]

There’s nothing like celebrity endorsement to open hearts (read: wallets) for a good cause. So when Kenneth Cole, Kelly Rowland, Martin Sheen, Emilio Estevez signed up to attend the event, so did the majority of the Porche-driving population of Rosedale.

The result was some yummy black tie style, and some yummier conversations with Kenneth Cole and Kelly Rowland. See my Q&A with Cole after the jump.

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.

M.I.A.’s in town supporting Our Day Will Come by Romain Gavras, the same French director who did her creepy ginger genocide vid for Born Free. After the premiere the crew headed to the Roosevelt Room for an after party, but M.I.A. wasn’t in much of a mood to stop and chat. Makes sense, if the […]

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 […]

Seeing jokester Paul Haggis kissing Josh Brolin is almost too good to be true. Seeing this the same evening as Martin Sheen showing cameras his underwear just isn’t fair.

The red carpet at the the Artists for Peace and Justice Fundraiser for Haiti event last night at the Toro After Dark space was, without a doubt, the most fun step and repeat in the city. Haggis turned to Brolin to give him a big smoocher on the mouth, which was followed by Brolin exclaiming, “that’s it, my career is OVER!”

This was probably the second best moment of the evening, which was promptly followed by Martin Sheen being encouraged to show us his Ellen Degeneres-gifted briefs–in exchange for a $1,000 donation to Haiti. To his publicist’s utter chagrin (who, for the record, was somewhat like a real life Lloyd from Entourage) he turned around, undid belt, dropped a bit of trou, turned back and showed us those briefs. But it’s for a good cause right?

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 […]

Sudanese beauty and model icon Alek Wek was spotted going into the lounge at The Drake Hotel last night. Did anyone see her? Talk to her? Take blurry cellphone photos? We want details! Send tips to fashiondiaries@fashionmagazine.com.

The ribbon cutting is at noon, but musical festivities happen all day. The line-up includes Fefe Dobson, The Sadies, and, just announced, […]
