Don't Call it a Man Crush

Today marks the opening of one of fall’s major prestige pictures, the political drama The Ides of March. I am not only excited to see it because it actually looks good (although I’ll be DAMNED if I can figure out what’s going on in the trailer), but because it features a veritable Ponderosa buffet of actors I like.

Inside the TIFF IT Lounge: Dean McDermott, Paul Haggis and More!

TIFF is all about films, parties, celebrities and SWAG! Being a star definitely has its perks and getting pampered with luxurious products is one of them.

On the TIFF Red Carpet: Blake McGrath and Mary Murphy

This past weekend, a one-of-a-kind glass bikini (see above) designed by DIESEL and inspired by SKYY Vodka's iconic cobalt blue bottle made it's first Canadian appearance at a special TIFF charity event in support of ONEXONE. I'm a huge DIESEL fan and I'm always impressed by their innovative designs and this sparkling bikini is definitely a red-carpet showstopper!

Top 10 Guilty Pleasure Pop Songs

Have you ever heard a song on the radio that you know you shouldn't like but just can't help it? My love of bad pop songs has been a personal shame that I've tried to keep hidden for years.

Photos: Ivanka Trump Launches Magnum Ice Cream in Canada

Earlier this week, Ivanka Trump was in town to officially launch Magnum ice cream bars into the Canadian dessert marketplace.

TIFF: Celebrity Fundraiser for Haiti

In support of the people of Haiti, some of Hollywood's brightest stars attended a fundraiser this past weekend for Artists for Peace and Justice (APJ) - a charity which is devoted to impacting the lives of the children of Haiti by providing food, water, medical care and education. I love it when celebrities give back to those in need and it's great to see so many A-list actors involved with this cause.

Ask an Expert: Jason, Is It Possible That All Celebrities Have Great Hair?

Hi Jason, How do all these celebrities have such awesome hair? Is it really possible they all have great hair?

The Cup is Hef Empty

While I imagine most women have found Hugh Hefner repulsive for a decade or more, he’s never really bothered me until now.

The Not-So-Freebie Five

After the flood of comments on yesterday’s Freebie Five discussion, I had to weigh in on a few things. First, I’m pleasantly surprised by the participation of our male readers out there.

What does your Freebie Five say about you?

I’ve never been a fan of playing games in a relationship or in the pursuit of a relationship. Safe to say, there are several dangerous games to be played amongst couples but why not get your jollies (if games are your thing) with a little harmless exercise.

Style Thursdays: Kylie Styles

Kylie Minogue is Burning Up this summer — or winter, in her native sunny Australia. Today, the pop princess is being awarded the Order of the British Empire at Buckingham Palace and by mid-month, her new fragrance, Darling, will hit the Canadian market.

Booze and Leather – Together at Last

If the fame level of aging male new-country singers was a boxing match, Tim McGraw would be getting his ass beat.

What's Estelle's Vice?

Estelle, up-and-coming British pop powerhouse, sat down with me to chat about her mum, chance encounters with Jay-Z, and that male model posse in the “American Boy” vid.

What's Estella Warren's Vice?

Estella Warren is the kind of girl you want to hate – she’s an actress/model/triathlete with the girl next door look that guys fall over themselves for. Not to mention she’s uberbusy – promoting iced tea, remodelling her kitchen(s) and she’s got several movies scheduled for release in the next little while, including See You In September (also featuring Whoopi Goldberg and Sandra Bernhard). But after meeting up with her at the Nestea Vitao launch in Toronto, we can’t help but love her.

I Heart Miley

Back in the day, my old roommate and I not-so-secretly loved watching children’s television together. Every day after work, we’d watch What I Like About You, starring Amanda Bynes and laugh and cry at the craziness of adolescence together.

Bryan Adams Giveaway!

Bryan Adams is back with his new album, aptly called 11.

Donovan Approved

Friday was, by any estimation, a banner day for my new beard. Now about a month into its life-cycle, it’s been getting mixed reviews. It has been called professional looking…and prickly.

Damon for President!

I took a lot of grief for selecting Matt Damon as number one on my list of Top Ten Dudes That Dudes Are Into.

And The Golden Globe Goes To…

If a celebrity is given an award, but nobody’s watching, does she make a speech? We’ll find out this Sunday as the writers strike claims its first major victim: Thine Golden Globules.

Ashley Tisdale the next Jennifer Grey?

When Dirty Dancing came out, my girlfriends and I went to see it seven times at the movie theatres, more times than I’d paid to see any other movie (including Star Wars, ET, Indiana Jones, and Top Gun).

Britney Spears: Hot

There it is folks: Britney’s hot. Actively. I know I’m going to take some heat for it, but somebody’s got to put it out there. In fact I’ll go further. Not only is she hot, but she’s amazing at her job.

Rant: Girls trying to be thin

Not long after the pictures of a so-called “fat” Jennifer Love Hewitt frolicking happily in the surf hit the web, my nine-year-old daughter told me one of her friends keeps telling her she’s fat, in a joking way. Not that it should matter, but she’s not at all overweight. (Her friend once tried to tell her that her bicep muscle was actually fat.) Much like size 2 Jennifer,

Get Thee to Rehab

Oh gosh, oh gosh. Yet another celebrity mum shows amazing parenting skills a la Lohan, Spears and Hilton. This time it’s British phenomenon Amy Winehouse’s mother.

Celebrity Babies

One of my guilty pleasures is celebrity gossip. It’s actually so guilty, I don’t really allow myself to read check-out counter magazines or visit gossip sites

Greg Behrendt's a Funny Guy

Even though he’s been doing stand up for 18 years, Greg Behrendt is probably best known for the book he co-wrote, He’s Just Not That Into You, while he was a consultant on Sex and the City.

CASBY? I don’t even know her!

Sorry about the title. I was being funny in a manly way, because that’s a joke that men make all the time and wear on t-shirts, but mostly about poker. So I took a break from all the hustle and bustle of Fashion Week last

Paris Hilton, Get Over Yourself!

David Letterman – you’re hawt! I’m sure you’ve seen the infamous clip of Paris Hilton’s appearance on David Letterman’s show last week (if not you’ll want to look here first).

In Hot Pursuit of Cocktail Chic

I guess I’ve got a bit of a tiff with TIFF this year. I was lucky enough to score a ticket to the E! Entertainment Canada launch party being held in the middle of the film fest circus, but the invite included my two most feared words in the party-going lexicon: cocktail chic. What the hell is that? Is an actual cocktail dress too dressy for a city in which

This Girl's Got Gaul

Her name is Ludivine Sagnier and she’s one of those actresses at TIFF the media is dubbing “on the brink of stardom.” However, the husky-voiced 28-year-old (best known in North America for her break-out role in 2003’s Swimming Pool)

Celeb Hunting during TIFF

(Please read in the voice of the recently deceased Crocodile Hunter, as this entry is an homage to him)

Swag Me Slowly

Celebrities are always getting free stuff; despite the fact they can afford to buy pretty much whatever the hell they want. Boo. This year’s TIFF festivities are no exception.

Ladies Rock the Virgin Festival 2007

Well, kids, slice.ca was lucky enough to be able to finagle some press passes to the hottest music festival to hit Toronto this summer. That’s right, we went to the Eighty-Somethings Polka Jamboree in the park behind my house.

Britney Spears Conspiracy Theory

Is it possible that there’s some kind of conspiracy involving former American sweetheart and loveable teen pop icon Britney Spears?

Celebrity Stupidity

If you’re like me and can’t help reading the latest celebrity trash, listen up. There’s a great book that I’m reading at the moment that will give you a chuckle on the commute to work.

Inn Love with Tori and Dean

Being a blogger for an awesome website sometimes takes me by surprise. Like, when I get to watch Slice television programs at work and write about cool stuff that I really like or when

What Your Fave Celeb Knows About Parenting

You might think celebrities would be the last people on earth who would have any really useful insight into parenting. They have drivers, cooks, housekeepers, nannies, personal assistants, and their day-to-day realities
