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!

Society Editor at Hello! Canada ” is relieved from her post
Juice Factor: 10/10

Toronto’s self-proclaimed resident party-girl is all dressed up with nowhere to go! The haughty society editor for both the National Post and Hello! Canada inherited her throne from her mother Naomi Engel, a society writer doyenne and bon vivant. An inside source tells us Amoryn Engel was let go as Society Editor at Hello! Canada. Rumour has it she might be out at the National Post next. Open bar is in the younger Engel’s blood — the party columnist attended her first Brazilian Ball in the mid-80s, at the tender age of 13. Her cool mom, ever the party queen, took Amoryn as a plus-one — training bra and all.

TOM*FW bans BlogTO & sues NOW Magazine
Juice factor: 10/10

Toronto Men’s Fashion Week doesn’t like bad press. And while the very under-the-radar fashion week (which notably had bad press even before it officially began in 2014 after it added and then cut a designer from its schedule for being too “feminine”) could probably benefit from press of any kind, it’s keen to make loud gestures of disapproval towards publications that offend the fashion scene newcomer. TOM*FW has not only banned beloved local website BlogTO from attending the men’s fashion week, it’s also suing (SUING!) famous weekly NOW Magazine over an article that TOM*FW founders thought was slanderous. TOM*FW, we don’t have to remind you what Andy Warhol said, do we? Man up, dudes.

Jared Leto cut his hair to come to Toronto.
Juice factor: 10/10

The “Year of the Man Bun” is officially over! A photo of Jared Leto’s new preppy-looking short hair went viral yesterday, just 10 days after he rocked 60s free love-style long locks at the Oscars. The photo originated from the Twitter account of Suicide Squad director David Ayer, who was trying to titillate fans with a teaser of how Jared is already in mid-transformation for his role as the Joker. But the better part of this news for us is that the movie starts shooting right here in Toronto in April (at Pinewood Studios primarily, if you’re looking for a weird place by the highway to hang out when the weather starts warming up). Jared and his fresh new ‘do will be in town soon. FYI, Leto has hooked up with locals before. Didn’t you read our column last week?

Margaret Wente gets some competition when it comes to being a total dick
Juice factor: 9/10

Finally, we’ve found a journalist more despicably offensive than Globe and Mail columnist Margaret Wente! And at least this time we don’t have to be embarrassed that she’s Canadian. UK-based Sun columnist Katie Hopkins (whose Twitter bio proudly reads: “Gained & lost 3.5 stones to prove fat people are lazy: #fatandback. The only Apprentice to fire Lord Sugar”) took a jab at new mom Kelly Clarkson over her baby weight (read: is trying to gain unwarranted attention by tweeting a controversial fat shaming comment). Hopkins took to Twitter to tweet: “Look chubsters, Kelly Clarkson had a baby a year ago. That is no longer baby weight. That is carrot cake weight. Get over yourselves.” While the Twitterverse is certainly fighting back, the comment has over 1,000 “favourites” and has prompted Hopkins to tweet another “freedom of speech” load of crap. Gawd. We’re keeping an eye on the heat to see when and how Hopkins finally backs the eff down from body shaming people and declaring bullying her democratic right.

Drake’s new lady friend Bernice Burgos is the original #Belfie Queen
Juice factor: 10/10

Drake flew video vixen Bernice Burgos from New York to Australia where the two were captured getting cozy in by a pool while Drizzy is on his Australian tour. If you think Burgos is just a lucky civilian bartender (she’s part of a group of lady bartenders called “The Startenders”) who won the lottery by being in the right place at the right time, turns out she has already worked with Drake, as part of the visuals for Rick Ross’ “Diced Pineapples.” That’s right. She’s actually the original #Belfie Queen if you ask us, not Kim Kardashian, and certainly not Vanity Fair‘s #Belfie Queen pick, Jen Selter. Check out Bernice Burgos’ Instagram to see for yourself. Drake, you’re a lucky man. Ladies, if you’re reading this, it’s too late.

Cara Delevingne & Beyonce recording song together?
Juice factor: 8/10

It certainly seems like it. We all know Cara Delevingne is looking to be the first supermodel outside of RuPaul to launch an enviable singing career (sorry, Tyra). That’s why fans of the model went ape sh*t when CD posted an Instagram photo of her hand hovering over a mixing board while Beyonce posted a similar one of her hand over an identical looking board. To add more juice to the rumour that they’re in the same studio likely recording a song together, they both posted the similar-looking photos at 1am.

Cara Delevingne dating St Vincent — and who exactly is that?
Juice factor: 8/10

Cara Delevingne’s latest possible female romantic interest is musician St Vincent, if only because the two have been inseparable for the past couple of weeks, making the singer the new Kendall-Rita-Rihanna-Michelle-Insert-Someone-Millennial-And-Famous-Here. St Vincent, however, is not your typical millennial. In fact, she’s practically Gen-X — though not quite, coming in at the young side of 30-something at 32. She’s a New York-based musician originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, whose real name is Anne Erin Clark. We’ll learn more if this relationship lasts the week.

Giorgio Armani blames Madonna for her famous Brit Award stage fall
Juice factor: 9/10

He may have designed the cape, but Giorgio Armani certainly isn’t taking any of the blame for Madonna’s fall. “Madonna, as we know, is very difficult,” said the designer to the Associated Press, to highlight that he doesn’t custom-make wardrobe malfunctions. “This cape had a hook and she wanted a tie, and she wasn’t able to open it with her hands. That’s all there is to it.”

Khloe Kardashian might be replacing Kelly Osbourne on Fashion Police
Juice factor: 8/10

Isn’t it the obvious choice? We’ll give you legit details when we have more…
