Blind Item: Toronto Foodie Scene 2.0
Juice factor: 10/10
This chef –who’s second-in-command to arguably the best chef in Toronto– is hunting for the ultimate location to open his very own restaurant, this time without being in the shadows of his much more acclaimed boss. As Toronto’s profile rises on the international food scene, more and more of the behind-the-scenes personalities are interested in a piece of the spotlight, and this fella already has ties to the TV world.
Hilary Duff is on Tinder. Seriously
Juice factor: 9/10
As if you didn’t know she was newly single. The star of new comedy Younger has been flaunting her bikini bod and showing off bold blue locks lately, seemingly enjoying her return to the spotlight after her divorce. Now she’s taunting the Every Man by insisting she’s on Tinder and even went on her first date last night. “It’s true. I’m on Tinder,” she said yesterday during a radio interview. “The whole process is wildly addicting….[I’m] talking to probably about nine guys right now…. I have my first date tonight and I’m really, really nervous.” Oh man, we can’t wait to see what happens. We love when celebs hook up with we commoners.
Spotted: Will Smith at Maison Mercer
Juice factor: 8/10
It’s no secret that Maison Mercer attracts Toronto’s beautiful people and is often graced by some of Hollywood’s finest caught partying a little too hard. Over the weekend, Will Smith partook in Mercer festivities but partying hard wasn’t on the agenda. There to support fitness diva and model Michelle Lewin, the pair stayed far away from overindulgence and instead promoted health and fitness. Keep your eyes peeled for the jacked superstar and his daughter Willow cause word on the street is that she’ll be popping into our city to give dad some love in June when she performs at North by Northeast.
Bruce Jenner versus paparazzi
Juice factor: 8/10
Just because Bruce Jenner let Diane Sawyer get a glimpse into his life as he transforms into a woman doesn’t mean he’s now ready to have his privacy invaded. Both CNN and the New York Daily News pulled images of Bruce Jenner smoking a cigarette and wearing a black and white striped maxi dress after the former Olympian and reality star took legal action, claiming the photos were clearly taken illegally with a long-shot lens. The photo agency — X17 is apparently the original source — used by both media outlets has since stopped selling the images, but unfortunately for Bruce they’re still circulating online.
Blind item: Who’s Canada’s latest export?
Juice factor: 9/10
This TV land vet may have given the impression that hosting gigs are a thing of the past, but as it turns out the American market might be the one offering up the next be contract to sign on the dotted line. The media darling is already auditioning south of the border for a job so high profile it puts anything filmed on location in Toronto to shame.
Kendall Jenner pretty much rules
Juice factor: 7/10
Maybe some fashionistas have been on the fence about whether or not Kendall Jenner is worthy of the supermodel title she’s recently been given, but she proved she’s a true icon of the times responding to father Bruce Jenner’s “coming out” special with Diane Sawyer. Kendall tweeted “so very proud of you, my hero” and also Instagrammed a vintage photo from fifth grade that reads, ‘If I could be anybody in the world, I would be…my Dad.” The caption to the photo reads, “I wrote this in 5th grade… nothing has changed.”
Kate Middleton having a girl?
Juice factor: 7/10
It’s officially six days since Kate Middleton and Prince William were supposed to have “Royal Baby No. 2” — April 23 was the Duchess’s due date. That means the Royal spare to the throne will definitely be a Taurus, but is it a boy or a girl? Well, Royal Family superfans are camped outside of the Lindo Wing of St. Mary’s Hospital in London where the Duchess of Cambridge will give birth, and to tide them over, Kate and Will sent pastries and croissants in boxes tied with pink ribbon. While the Royal superfans will see this as a divine sign of the baby’s gender, we think it’s just coincidental pastry shop ribbon.
John Stamos calls bullsh*t on the Olsen twins
Juice factor: 8/10
Don’t you dare say Uncle Jesse didn’t tell you about the Fuller House reunion, Michelle Tanner. John Stamos called out the famous billionaire twins after they denied being informed about the sitcom reboot. Bam! We just want to throw it out there that we’re available to play the part of Michelle Tanner if it’s up for grabs.
