#SPOTTED: BLAKE LIVELY IN TORONTO FOR L’ORÉAL WOMEN OF WORTH GALA
In celebration of International Women’s Day, none other than a superwoman herself flew into Toronto! An actress, an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, a wife and a mother of two, Blake Lively has helped define a generation for many millennials with her work on wildly-popular series Gossip Girl. Success never stopped there as she equally is a Movie Star with memorable roles in hit Films like Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, The Town, Green Lantern (on which she met her Canuck husband Ryan Reynolds) and more recently the well-reviewed shark horror, The Shallows.
Sponsored by L’Oréal, Lively walked the Red Carpet and presented at the Women of Worth Gala, held at historic OMNI King Edward Hotel. Earlier in the day she spoke to TV media about her appearance, her first visit to the City since helping launch Target Canada back when that was a thing still! Just a couple weeks back she made a rare public appearance for the beauty giant at New York Fashion Week.
The avid foodie and baker was in and out after a quick minute, but despite being well-guarded, she was lovely to stop to say “hi”, letting her guards know “I’m good!”, then snapping a Selfie. She was so lovely! This means a lot as we have loved Lively for years now!
Blake gave good speech at tonight’s #womenofworth dinner, in Toronto, supported by @LorealMakeUp.

#NEWMUSIC: LANA DEL REY – “LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL” FROM “THE AGE OF ADALINE” SNIPPET
I repeat, we need no excuse to listen to a new Lana Del Rey Song. We began to grow a bit suspicious after seeing the Goddess Instagram much about The Age of Adaline of late and now we get it!
A new Snippet of LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL from the Romantic Drama, out this Friday, has surfaced online and you must hear it. Gorgeous.
Listen below:
I suppose this will have to do while we wait for the full version on iTunes!

#SPOTTED: MICHIEL HUISMAN IN TORONTO FOR “THE AGE OF ADALINE”
Michiel Huisman certainly is a Star on the rise. You already know him from memorable turns on HBO‘s Game of Thrones as Daario Naharis, Orphan Black, Oscar-nominated Wild and upcoming Romance The Age of Adaline will have you at his handsome mercy.
The Film has him starring opposite the captivating Blake Lively, hitting theatres next weekend.
Huisman had a busy day of Press in Toronto, arriving 7 AM at KISS 92.5 for The Roz & Mocha Show, before appearing on almost every major Outlet in the City including The Morning Show, CP24 Breakfast, eTalk, CBC Arts and more. He fielded questions from Fans at a Special Screening of the Film, setting hearts a flutter. Just last week, Promo brought him to Los Angeles and Chicago and he appears to have a busier week ahead.
We certainly had to be patient for our moment with the Netherlands-born Star as we received word of some Fandemonium earlier delaying his Press Day, but he was more than nice about stopping before heading off.
Our Review of The Age of Adaline will be up next week and you’ll be curious what we thought of this, Lively‘s transformation to a Film Star.
