Vv Magazine’s industry insiders and undercover scenesters fill you in on the best first-hand gossip from Hollywood, the media, and everything in between. A column that will make you lust for more… who are we talking about? We don’t tell – but we see and hear things and like you, we gossip about it. Check in every Wednesday for the latest from Scene & Heard!

Bobby Flay’s Toronto takeover at Susur Lee’s Fring’s
Juice factor: 8/10

Toronto restaurant Fring’s, owned by hometown culinary hero Susur Lee and rumoured resto partner Drake, has already established itself as home away from Hollywood. Stars like Jaden Smith, Rihanna and Serena Williams have already turned up at the Toronto hotspot while touching down north of the border. Now, Food Network superstar Bobby Flay is putting Fring’s on the map for different reasons, taking on the role of guest chef  for a six-course tasting menu event. The long-time friend of Susur apparently liked the idea of teaming up with his old Iron Chef bud to partake in the city’s growing reputation as world-renowned foodie destination.

Blind Item: Become an owner at a hip British pub for only 50K…
Juice Factor: 9/10

Looking to get into the bar business? Word on the street has it, a group of guys that already own some impressive West Toronto hotspots are planning to open a more “upscale” British pub on Richmond Street. Anyone who wants to join their tribe is being offered a modest 5% share in exchange for a $50,000 investment. The bar you would become part owner at? A 2nd outpost of their already popular Queen West British pub, apparently valued at $1,000,000. Deal or no deal?

All hail Winnie Harlow
Juice factor: 7/10

While the world wonders what exactly Beyonce meant by releasing “Lemonade,” Toronto’s own Winnie Harlow can gloat in her post-America’s Next Model fame. The stunning homegrown beauty was selected to star in Bey’s already epic, hour-long video, making her another Canadian star to be featured in the film, alongside Scarborough native The Weeknd.

Blind item: Toronto editor moving on to bigger things
Juice factor: 8/10

Word has circulated for a while that the editor of a major Canadian magazine might be looking to expand her horizons, or at least take advantage of her talents at a bigger enterprise. Turns out the rumours were true…

Toronto’s Eataly not going ahead as planned?
Juice factor: 8/10

BuzzBuzzHome News claims to have an anonymous source with dirt on Mario Batali’s Eataly. The source says the opening of the long-planned Toronto location might not come to fruition as easily as once anticipated. According to the site’s source, the Bloor Street Diner – already a culinary destination in the Manulife Centre – has exclusive rights to run a restaurant within the shopping mall. Apparently, in an attempt to move forward with Eataly’s plans, the Manulife Centre has filed an injunction, despite the Bloor Street Diner’s pre-existing right to restaurant exclusivity.

Leo’s ex moves on…
Juice factor: 6/10

It looks like supermodel Bar Refaeli has completely moved on from her days with Leo. The leggy blond is expecting her first child with husband Adi Ezra and recently gave her baby bump a little time in the limelight on Instagram on Tuesday.

Leo still stirring up romance rumours
Juice factor: 7/10

Are they or aren’t they? Leo and Rihanna have been keeping us all guessing about their alleged romance for quite some time. The two were most recently spotted together at Coachella–both wearing sunglasses to seemingly downplay their public outing. The 41-year-old Oscar winner might be best known for preferring the company of blondes – provided they’re supermodels – but his ongoing flirtations with  the 28-year-old top-charter from Barbados have us wondering if Leo is singing a different tune these days. With awards season finally over and Leo now officially king of the world, at least by Academy Award standards, only time will tell if he spends more quality down-time this summer getting more acquainted with the “Work” singer.

Blind item: Fashionista unsettled amid cheating controversy
Juice factor: 10/10

While they might not be on par with Jay-Z and Beyonce, this local couple isn’t immune to local cheating rumours that have been around and ’round for a while… but the fact that the rumours are actually – oh ma gawd – TRUE only resonates within the inner circle with whom the circumstances and facts are privileged to. Here’s the thing: the unfaithful member of this high profile couple cheated on his girl with an equally high profile member of Toronto’s fashion elite. Once upon a time, said unfaithful confidante would have enjoyed being the instigator of such a major scandal, but these days she has a lot to lose herself. Too bad word is only getting around now since her stoic ways are apparently over…
