New York and Toronto don’t always have similar weather. But last night in Toronto was particularly gorgeous – one of those balmy, breezy nights that feels almost tropical and laughs in the face of ever needing a jacket. It was amazing and felt like you would have the energy to walk all night and stay awake forever.So when I saw Anne Hathaway posing with Dua Lipa and Lisa at the Bvlgari Serpentino event, I originally thought the breeze was just …breezy.

It is officially fashion month in the industry.  New York Fashion Week begins today, the fashion people head over to London next week, then Milan the week after, culminating in Paris at the end of the month, which is where Jonathan Anderson’s next collection for Dior spring/summer 2027 will be presented. But he and the house are getting off to an early start, pulling some online focus away from NYC to announce a new strategic vision for the brand.But before we get into that, for month

There are just three short weeks left in the 2026 Major League Baseball regular season, and while some races for the standings are taking shape, others remain extremely close.

Training camp has begun in Brossard. All the Canadiens players are in town. The Habs golf tournament will take place next week, in four days.
So the season is approaching.
Aside from the fact that Martin St-Louis hasn't signed a contract extension, that Marco Marciano's situation hasn't been publicly resolved, that the Habs haven't added anyone, and that two players are still under contract, it's time to get started.
At today's practice, everyone (except Kaiden Guhle) was on the ice. And the pla

I think we’ve all known that since his brief suspension last year and this spring’s Strike Force Five reunion in support of Stephen Colbert, and just… life in general, that Jimmy Kimmel was going to face down any kind of opposition with relish and zeal and absolute banger jokes for as long as he’s allowed to make them. But it’s so nice to see that play out early and yes, often…Tuesday was Kimmel’s first night back after two months off, and he did not p

When people talk about Kirill Marchenko, the name of the Montreal Canadiens often comes up.
Of course, it's safe to assume that Kent Hughes isn't the only GM calling Ohio to try to convince Don Waddell to trade his star player.
After all, Marchenko is an attractive prospect for many teams right now.
Even though the player will hold the upper hand (if he doesn't want to sign a long-term deal somewhere, that's bound to affect the interest of the club in question), other teams are calling.
And that

According to Jeff Passan of ESPN, the Quebec City is among the six cities in the running for the two spots available in a potential expansion in the coming years—the first such expansion since the Tampa Bay Rays and Arizona Diamondbacks joined the league in 1998.

What will Chris Kreider do in the coming hours or days?
As you know, we fully expect him to take advantage of his free agency (I don't expect him to be claimed off waivers) to choose his next team.
He can pick his team without losing a dime… the Ducks are getting out of his contract without paying a fortune, even though they're in trouble… another team will sign him with a lower cap hit… in the end, everyone stands to gain.
But where will he go?
Everyone agrees that he wants

Dear Gossips,Last night was the eTalk TIFF kickoff party, celebrating the 25th season. I arrived pretty late, as in, I missed Sarah altogether and only briefly got to see Jacek in *party attire* – but the feeling in the room was, incredibly, almost the same as it was back in the very beginning, when eTalk was a scrappy upstart staffed by a bunch of kids, fighting for red carpet access and celebrity interviews from publicists who neither knew nor cared about us or our show.That feeling of c

The Kirill Marchenko situation continues to be the talk of the town.
Will the Blue Jackets player be traded before the start of the season? I have my doubts. But it's possible that a trade could happen before the deadline.
Especially if the Ohio team gets off to a rough start.
Don Waddell, the team's GM, is in a bind. He's well aware that the Russian has absolutely no intention of staying with the team long-term and that his future therefore lies elsewhere.
Yesterday, on Jimmy Murphy and Pierre

It was inevitable.
The Los Angeles Dodgers are set to place Shohei Ohtani on the 15-day injured list soon.
We've been wondering for months if this was going to happen. After all, he's clearly been physically battered for a very long time.
But now it's official. His knee, arm, and neck are likely hurting too much for him to keep playing without taking a break.
After months of dealing with nagging injuries, Shohei Ohtani is finally going on the IL: https://t.co/B7IG0P60F2

So what? Would you like to see Chris Kreider come to town?
Because ever since yesterday, the topic has been all the rage. And that's no surprise: the guy wants to come back to the East and play for a good team following his split with the Ducks.
And he's still capable of holding his own.

When his contract is (inevitably) bought out this afternoon, he'll be free to sign wherever he wants. And the Canadiens' name just won't go away in this story.

Martin St-Louis has always been known as a coach who is close to his players.
Since taking over as head coach of the Canadiens, there has been frequent talk of his ability to communicate with them, give them a certain amount of freedom, and build a relationship that differs from that of some more traditional coaches.
The famous “players' coach.”
This approach, however, can come with its share of criticism.
Being a coach who is close to his players can quickly be interpreted as being

Leo Carlsson probably made a lot of friends throughout the NHL this summer.
His aggressive five-year, $90 million offer—matched by the Ducks—completely shook up the market. According to Carlsson himself during the NHL media tour, some players even took the time to thank him.“Players are thanking me.” – Leo Carlsson

So, does that mean Kaiden Guhle might miss the start of the season?
Wait, it goes further than that: in today's article by our colleague Maxime Truman (which sheds important light on the defenseman), we learn that Guhle could miss more than just a few games.
According to Georges Laraque, the defenseman could return in October or January. In the worst-case scenario, that's still a four-month absence.
Naturally, since training camp starts next week, the team will have to learn to do without Guhle

Everything points to Kirill Marchenko being on the trading block in Columbus.
