#SPOTTED: LEAH DOU IN TORONTO AT ADELAIDE HALL
Beijing-born and American-educated, LEAH DOU might be obscure to North America, but that is about to change.

Dou, the 20-year-old daughter of Chinese rocker Dou Wei and visionary Singer/Songwriter/Actress Faye Wong, is currently touring in support of that English-language disc, fresh off a stint in the U.K. where she just had a supporting gig ...

#EDITORSNOTE: MR. WILL’S BEST OF 2016
2016 certainly was one for the books. I admit feeling terribly guilty every time someone claimed how horrible the year was when I secretly felt otherwise! Whether it be the amazing Films I saw, singling-out LA LA LAND, which I will say is the one of the finest to be released in the past decade, or songs on the radio - we love a return to strong melancholy melodies - the year gave us many memories to hold on to. And to think we used to scoff at Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, Bruno Mars and ...

#SPOTTED: RIZ AHMED IN TORONTO FOR “STAR WARS: ROGUE ONE”
We absolutely are crazy about Riz Ahmed, the English Actor who in recent years has seen his star rise rather quickly stateside. In addition to starring in HBO Series The Night Of this year, Ahmed turned heads in a acclaimed 2014 Thriller Nightcrawler alongside Jake Gyllenhaal. While we have yet to see his performance in acclaimed TIFF '16 Selection Una (which he had to cancel an appearance for) with another of our favourites Rooney Mara, we soon will see him on many screens in STAR WARS: ...

#SPOTTED: ROBERT PATTINSON, DENZEL WASHINGTON + MORE IN LOS ANGELES
We were in L.A. this past weekend and although our reason to visit was the 2016 BREEDERS' CUP at Santa Anita Park, we always make time for the stars. We even met culinary master Bobby Flay at the championship races and saw one of our faves Elizabeth Banks, both Ambassadors for the event.
We're completely exhausted from the trip but finally had a quick minute to share some of our Selfies. Two events were going on around town that night, the GO FOUNDATION GALA in Downtown L.A. benefiting ...
