#SPOTTED: MAJOR STARS IN TORONTO FOR NBA ALL-STAR WEEKEND
NBA All-Star Weekend has taken over Toronto for the first time ever. Kicking-off the festivities tonight at Ricoh Coliseum on CNE grounds was the much-buzzed Canada vs U.S. Mountain Dew 2016 NBA All-Star Celebrity Game, headed by captains Drake and Kevin Hart respectively. Drake tonight was given the honours of holding the key to the City based on his outstanding contributions locally.
Team Canada alas would prevail under Drake‘s guidance with a score of 74-64 with Win Butler and Tracy McGrady leading the pack.
Spotted in the audience tonight were some huge names like Vin Diesel, Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh and more. The three were on the set of XXX: The Return of Xander Cage filming at the penthouse of one of the City’s most historic hotels. Wrapping just before 7, they head-on over quickly to Ricoh Coliseum, making it in time despite Fans waiting in the cold for them. It is said during halftime show, Diesel stopped to pose for Selfies with several Fans who clamoured for him, soaking-up all the adoration.
Olivia Wilde also was seen cheering Jason Sudeikis who is here promoting Jesse Owens Biopic RACE, alongside Co-Star Stephan James who played for Team Canada.
Rapper Snoop Dogg also is in-town too, leaving a trail of heartbreak this morning after no-showing at appearances on Breakfast Television and The Morning Show after a night of partying Thursday!
Meanwhile not far from the Celebrity Game, Gwen Stefani and Usher would headline an Afterparty at a specially-constructed for the occasion True North Lounge sponsored by Bell. Stefani quietly head to the venue around 9 with bodyguard picking her up from the underground of her Hotel and a trunk full of luggage. She is to appear in the first ever Live Music Video to be filmed Grammys night for her single Make Me Like You, dedicated to boyfriend and The Voice Co-Star Blake Shelton. Earlier in the day she had an Album Listening Party for upcoming Disc, This Is What the Truth Feels Like.

#NEWMUSIC: GWEN STEFANI – “USED TO LOVE YOU”
“I don’t know why I cry, but I think it’s I ’cause I remembered for the first time that since I hated you, that I used to love you”.
These are lyrics I think we all can relate to. That sobering moment where you realize at one point you were happily in love with someone you’re no longer with.
Although there’s been a couple false starts (remember Baby Don’t Lie???), Gwen Stefani releases this new track in a clip directed by longtime collaborator Sophie Muller. Stefani reflects on lost love rather candidly and honestly here and we like it. But then again, we loved the last few comeback tracks… The Track was unveiled last weekend at an intimate show in NYC.

#NEWMUSIC: GWEN STEFANI PERFORMS HITS MEDLEY ON “THE TONIGHT SHOW”
So about that Gwen Stefani Comeback, which seems to be taking forever… The Fashion and Pop Music Icon appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, looking amazing and doing a Medley of some of her Greatest Hits! She’s definitely still got it. We just need to hear some new Music already!
Watch the energetic Medley:

#NEWMUSIC: GWEN STEFANI – “DON’T LIE” VIDEO PREMIERE
At long last. We thought we’d never hear new Solo Music from Gwen Stefani! We love No Doubt, but we adore and cannot live without Gwen Stefani as a Solo Act! Her first Solo Single in over eight years does not disappoint and at long last we have a proper clean, crisp Audio + Video for new Single BABY DON’T LIE from her upcoming new Studio Disc due in stores later this year. The Track is co-produced and co-written by Benny Blanco, Ryan Tedder and Noel Zancanella and everything we hoped for. Fresh, synthy, edgy and full of fervor. Longtime Collaborator Sophie Muller directs the festive and colourful romp!
See the Video below:
BABY DON’T LIE is now available on iTunes.

#SPOTTED: MR. WILL IN NEW YORK CITY
So you might’ve heard I was in New York City this past week enjoying the Met Gala (see the Photos!) and it was an amazing thrill seeing the Fashions and the Celebrity in-person after admiring them online for many years now. Red Carpets and flashing Cameras are something I vow to never get sick of! Promise. Hoping to visit again next Spring!
Although I did get to meet Met Gala Host Rooney Mara in-person and she was lovely to stop and say “hi” and blow me a kiss, unfortunately she didn’t do the Photo but I still will have the memory! One day I’ll have my Gwen Stefani and Anne Hathaway moment! I did get Photos with Jennifer Morrison (Once Upon a Time) and Tommy Hilfigger but unfortunately they just didn’t turn out:(
Fortunately, most of the Celebrities I met were more than obliging and here are some of the Stars I got to get Snap with below. And yes, that is KYLIE MINOGUE!!!! She is just as lovely as I’d dreamed! Ditto for Kelly Ripa!! Armie Hammer too!! And I don’t believe Zooey Deschanel said “yes”! She never does!!
See it all:

Beyond excited! I’m packing-up and heading out to New York City for a few days to capture the Festivities at the Costume Institute Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which always has been a dream of mine to experience. Like the rest of us I won’t be inside, but still I’ll be admiring the Fashion from the outside and sure to snap lots of Photos and hopefully meet some of my Idols! The theme this year is Punk and hosting is Rooney Mara, while Beyoncé will act as Honourary Chair.
Things will be a bit quiet for the next couple days, but be sure to check back upon my return for what surely will be lots of excitement! Expected this year are the likes of Amanda Seyfried, Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow, Dakota Fanning, Kristen Stewart, Rihanna, Florence Welch, Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lawrence, Cara Delevingne, Kanye West and several, several more.
