Last night was my first trip to Lainey Lui’s annual SMUT Soiree, held in Toronto at The Evergreen Brickworks, and it was a blast! When my friend @sarahnewk from Sleeping is for Losers – whoops, I mean Sarah, she has a real name – invited me to go, I jumped at the chance…even though it […] Read more…
I’m 36 years old, and I am a celebrity ageist. But not in the way that plagues most of Hollywood. Perhaps it would be more accurate to say I’m more of a “reverse” celebrity ageist. I’m not interested in the teeny-boppers and the twenty-somethings. I’m mere months younger than Justin Bieber’s mother, for heaven’s sake, […] Read more…
You may also be interested in my “behind-the-scenes” visit to THE SOCIAL, and my latest interview with Cynthia on set! As a new mom of a nine-month-old son and one of the four co-hosts of CTV’s hit talk show “The Social”, Cynthia Loyst is a busy woman. Thankfully, she made time to have a chat […] Read more…
Yep, that says FREE movie passes! Read on! Is there a mom out there who doesn’t have childhood memories involving Barbie? I remember receiving one doll each Christmas, and some of my favourites were the bride doll with brown hair (a big deal for me), an office Barbie (her pink suit skirt reversed to something […] Read more…
I just finished rereading another gem from my bookshelf: The EveryGirl’s Guide To Life by television reporter Maria Menounos (you may know her from ExtraTV, or her time on Access Hollywood, Today, or Entertainment Tonight). In her book, Maria covers a huge range of topics, from decorating and organization (this gal could give me a […] Read more…
Chances are, you’re already watching Scandal. But just in case you’re not, I feel the need to spread the word. While I am fairly up on entertainment and had certainly heard two years’ worth of buzz regarding the Shonda Rhimes drama (I love her work; having seen every episode of Grey’s Anatomy and Private Practice), […] Read more…
As the original Bachelorette, Trista Sutter found love on reality television with Colorado firefighter Ryan Sutter. Still happily married after ten years, this mom of two (son Max is 6, daughter Blakesley is 4) has recently published a book, “Happily Ever After: The Life-Changing Power of a Grateful Heart”. It isn’t a memoir (though she does […] Read more…
As a regular “viewer” of The View, I recently decided to read the memoir “Audition” by Barbara Walters. It’s a fairly large tome, at around 600 pages, but since I had hours to sit at the LASIK clinic, I made it through in no time. In the book, the now 86 year old Barbara details […] Read more…
Sure, you may have first seen Jillian Harris on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette (and been intrigued by her theory about a guy’s personality being linked to his favourite hot dog condiments), but this Canadian designer is way more than “former reality show contestant”. In addition to running her own firm, Jillian is the resident […] Read more…
Click here to catch up on Las Vegas Part I: Tim McGraw/Faith Hill Soul2Soul. Our second morning in Vegas found us shopping again! This time we tried out the Las Vegas Premium Outlets (North – there’s also a South) which was about a ten minute cab ride. (Buses are a popular option, but since we […] Read more…
