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!
We told you FIRST that Joe Mimran was stepping down at Joe Fresh!
Juice factor: 10/10
We definitely mean to toot our own horn by drawing attention to the fact that, while Canadian and local news sources like the Financial Times, Toronto Star, and BlogTO only announced Joe Fresh founder Joe Mimran was stepping down from the afforable Loblaws-affiliated clothing line on Monday, we told you over a MONTH ago — on February 11, to be exact. Now, can we get some love for being legit sources of gossip you won’t find anywhere else? Aw, geez, thanks — you’re too kind, you shouldn’t have! Here’s the original February 11 edition of our column, “Scene & Heard: Joe Mimran on the Out at Joe Fresh & More,” featuring the gossip news item “No more Joe Mimran at Joe Fresh?” so you can see for yourself.
Also, welcome to the Den, Joe! CBC just confirmed Mimran will be the newest Dragon on the hit show Dragon’s Den!
Actor Thomas Jane staying at a Toronto strip club?
Juice factor: 10/10
Actor Thomas Jane has apparently been getting into character for an upcoming role by staying at Toronto gentlemen’s club Filmores. Though it’s a place of bachelor party dreams, you can actually book a room on the hotel’s website. Jane has allegedly been staying there for three months, even though the actor is already relocating to Toronto to shoot upcoming SyFy show The Expanse, based on the sci-fi book of the same name set 200 years in the future. We guess stripping is still a viable profession in the year 2215?
Hilary Duff is on the market & she looks like this now
Juice factor: 8/10
After recently announcing her divorce from Canadian hockey player Mike Comrie, Hilary Duff took to Instagram to release a revealing #selfie of her bikini bod complete with tangly, wet beach hair. The caption simply read: “Hey #moms #westillgotit #loveyourbod.” Now, that’s how you say “single and looking.”
Amber Rose is hosting the Amber Rose Slut Walk
Juice factor: 8/10
We’re not exactly sure if she gets the point of a slut walk, given the amount of times she tends to slut shame herself (throwing shade at Kim Kardashian’s sex tape and Kylie Jenner’s older romantic interests), but Amber Rose is hosting her very own version amid her ongoing fued with Kanye West and the Kardashians. She’s trying to gain traction for the slut walk on Twitter with the hashtag #AmberRoseSlutWalk, which is likely why she’s adding fuel to the fire with the reality TV show family and her famous ex-boyfriend.
Kim Kardashian & Kanye West use sex to sell Keeping Up With The Kardashians (obviously)
Juice factor: 9/10
Remember last week when we told you that Kim Kardashian’s recent behaviour at New York and Paris Fashion Week was allegedly tied to her fears that Kendall and Kylie Jenner, along with their famous father Bruce Jenner, might be getting their own reality show (possibly called Jetsetting With The Jenners)? Well, it looks like Kim’s got her famous hubby on her side when it comes to promoting her reality show. Kanye West tweeted separate images of wifey Kim Kardashian naked with captions like “SWISH!!!” and “CONGRATS BABY ON THE SHOW PREMIERE LAST NIGHT.” The photo shoot was clearly done and saved for the right occasion, as evidenced by Kim’s hair colour in the photos. Well, if there’s one thing the Kardashians do well it’s #BreakTheInternet, right?

Drake doesn’t want fans not to watch his movie
Juice factor: 9/10
The highly anticipated “Drake film,” called Drake’s Homecoming: The Lost Footage, hits theatres tomorrow, but Drizzy doesn’t want fans to see it. Drake took to Twitter to tweet: “James Prince and I stand together on not supporting the Drake Homecoming footage in theaters. #protectingthefans.” Executive producers J. Prince and Jas (who retweeted Drake) allegedly feel the same way despite talks of a possible lawsuit.
Is Katy Perry pregnant?
Juice factor: 9/10
We’re used to stars teasing us on Instagram by posting cryptic photos. Katy Perry is the latest to join the rumoured pregnancy posse, taking to Instagram on St. Patrick’s Day to post a photo of herself wearing a green sweater but clearly focused on a gold necklace she’s wearing with a pendant that says “Mom.” Is Katy Perry pregnant? Is John Mayer going to be a daddy? She’s talked about wanting to have a family a ton, and the star who loves to party was noticably doing an un-St. Patrick’s Day like thing in the photo (read: not drinking). We normally don’t read a lot into these kind of things, but we can’t help but think this photo is supposed to tell us something.
What’s up with Victoria Beckham’s face?
Juice factor: 8/10
We never thought we’d see the day Victoria Beckham went full-Hollywood (she’s always been more high fashion than that), but we can’t help but wonder if she’s changed her tune after seeing the British icon’s new look. What do you think? Did she go the route of Renee Zellweger and Uma Thurman? Say it ain’t so, Victoria…
Jessica Simpson still showing off her sexy slimmed-down body
Juice factor: 8/10
Sure, maybe she hasn’t been famous for singing in a long time, but Jessica Simpson is making headlines these days over her smokin’ slim figure. Just days after posting controversial and very sexy Fifty Shades of Grey-inspired Instagram pics, which she called “50 Shades of Johnson,” the starlet went out Sunday night in New York with hubby Eric Johnson showing some major cleavage in a form-hugging casual look. She should call up Hilary Duff for a millenial girls’ night.
Chris Evans and Lily Collins are dating
Juice factor: 7 /10
…you know, just in case you thought you had a chance with either of them. Peace out until next week!
