Gigi is cooking

The last time we checked in on Gigi Hadid she was in Paris with Bradley Cooper while he works on the Oceans prequel. She’s been there off and on for almost two months, considering when she was seen during Paris Fashion Week. So it’s not just BCoop, Gigi is handling her business too.She covers the September issue of Vogue France and since Gigi is a model, we don’t need a reason for her to be covering a fashion magazine, unlike when actors do it, this is her job. But there also m

The Hollywood Reporter published a story yesterday reported by Merle Ginsberg about the 2027 Met Gala with some curious details. According to Merle’s sources at Condé Nast, Anna Wintour was so bothered by the backlash to the Bozos Bezos Ball earlier this year, “she convened an all-hands Vogue meeting and vowed to dial things down for the 2027 Gala: a tighter guest list, less ostentation, a clearer theme and, with any luck, fewer protesters outside”.But, as Merle points o

Connor Hellebuyck has just broken another major NHL record.
The Winnipeg Jets' star goaltender has publicly stated that he wants to be traded, via a post by his agent on X.
This isn't exactly a surprise.
Why?
Because for several months now, Hellebuyck has made no secret of his frustration with the direction his own team has taken.
The American goaltender wants to win… and at 33, with several years still left on his $8.5 million-per-season contract, he clearly doesn't want to waste the pri

It's unclear what will happen with Samuel Montembeault.
Will he be traded before the start of the season? Or will he be sent down to the American Hockey League instead? Can we consider him a contender for the backup goaltender spot in Montreal next season?
Hmm…
One thing is certain: Kent Hughes will do whatever he can to put him in the best situation for him (and for the team). If a trade goes through, then so be it. And with Frederik Andersen getting injured in practice, we're keeping an

There are only five weeks left in the MLB regular season. And more than ever, the standings are tightening, especially in the American League.
So without further ado, here's the very latest edition of Passion MLB's power rankings. Last week's rankings are shown in parentheses.

Jacob Fowler has a lot of potential.
We know that.
The Canadiens goaltender tops a list of the 25 best prospects at his position in a recent ranking by Steven Ellis (Daily Faceoff). He's currently seen as the next big thing in the NHL.
It's special in a way because you get the sense that Fowler really stands out in these rankings.
When people talk about the league's top young prospects, his name comes up… all the time. And right now, you could practically say the Habs pulled off a steal i

There have been so many tributes on social media this week and this, from Annie Potts to Tim Curry, is a heart squeeze.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Annie Potts (@thisisanniepotts)
It was Blake Lively’s birthday two days ago and then another legal announcement (Justin Baldoni and Wayfarer are ordered to pay $400k in legal fees, out of the $8 million she was asking for). Online the sentiment is that this is the never-ending legal saga, particularly after the case was sett

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. is having a terrible season. Everyone knows it.
Since the start of the season, the Blue Jays have been looking for ways to help him get back on track so he can contribute to the team and live up to his immense talent.
As far as I'm concerned, giving him some rest (he's clearly aching all over) might help… but whatever.
One (logical) idea floating around among many people is to have him bat a bit lower in the lineup. It's crazy that he's still in the top three.
But do

Nick Suzuki is an excellent captain. He never puts his foot in his mouth.
The most recent example? At the Asista Foundation golf tournament, which he sponsors, Suzuki was questioned by reporters for the first time in several weeks.
Unsurprisingly, the topic of the Habs' offseason came up again. And guess what? He was ready. Like many of his teammates, he hadn't put the past too far behind him.
When asked about his team's inactivity during the offseason, the Canadiens' captain said that having th

Let me make it about myself for a moment – what’s new – because I am stressing about Practical Magic 2. The movie comes out September 11… which is the first weekend of TIFF… so I’m working non-stop. There is no way I can go see it when it opens, wahhhhhhh!The film is starting to screen for media though, ahead of the junket(s) that will be happening soon. I’ve heard from four colleagues who’ve seen it and the reaction has been largely positive whi

Season #3 of the series on the Canadiens’ rebuild on Crave is coming soon. Starting September 1, select episodes will be available to watch.
But in the meantime, a clip has been posted on social media.

The scene takes place on the street. Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton

From the firing of manager Alex Cora to the remarkable run that put the team in playoff contention, not to mention Craig Breslow's lack of leadership and numerous injuries, the 2026 season was anything but easy for the Boston Red Sox.
And speaking of injuries, Roman Anthony's injury also sparked its share of controversy, as he was forced to miss most of the season due to a finger injury.
Throughout this time, criticism of the Sox's future star has been mounting, particularly regarding his behavi

Dominating the circuit outrageously with a stellar record of nine wins and just one loss, the Montreal club is running at full speed.For the reporters assigned to cover the team, this calm at the top is almost monotonous. Fortunately, quarterback Jason Maas and his inner circle stubbornly refuse to rest on their laurels. In practice, the intensity remains at its peak, whether it's fine-tuning tackling technique or correcting a sometimes undisciplined team.
This unshakable confidence sometimes bo

The season is just around the corner, and the Canadiens still haven’t found their No. 2 center.
Louis Jean said Tuesday night on 98.5 FM that Kent Hughes would have liked to have been more active during the offseason but wasn't able to be.
The options to start the season at center on the second line are therefore the same as last year: Alex Newhook, Oliver Kapanen, Jake Evans, Kirby Dach, and Michael Hage Phillip Danault.
Does that mean the position effectively goes to Oliver Kapanen?

Dear Gossips,Yesterday in this space I referred to Dolly Parton in the present tense, because it seems impossible that Dolly would ever leave. And in many ways, she won’t. Dolly wasn’t exaggerating when she told PEOPLE in a statement last Friday that she was still working and that she still had goals she wanted to achieve.Dolly’s manager, Danny Nozell, with whom she collaborated for over 20 years, said yesterday that Dolly “handpicked” a team that has over “th

Samuel Montembeault is still with the Canadiens organization.
It's not because Kent Hughes didn't try to trade him—quite the opposite. Louis Jean recently stated that the Canadiens had “done everything” to trade him.
But that doesn't mean the club wants to give him away or trade him at a discount.
It's not too late to trade him, and it's reasonable to think that, if the right opportunity arises, the Canadiens' GM will be able to send him elsewhere.
But for that to happen, an op

Corey Pronman's revised rankings of recent drafts continue.
This morning, it was the 2022 draft's turn to be analyzed by the man who has been ranking young NHL players in every possible way for the past few weeks.
So we were watching to see what he'd do with the Canadiens' prospects.
Finally, we have our answer: if he had to do it all over again, Juraj Slafkovsky would still be the first overall pick. The Canadiens winger is ranked in the “all-star” category—and he's the only o

Alexander Zharovsky has been in the news several times since the start of the summer. He stopped by Montreal, where he was welcomed by his fellow countryman. He trained in various settings before returning to Russia as the start of his season approached.
However, things aren't going very well for him in the preseason games. His production is in free fall, and Grant McCagg addressed the situation on his HabsCast podcast.
According to him, it wouldn't be a bad thing if Zharovsky were to play in th

Louis Domingue has decided to continue his career in Italy next season.
The Quebec goaltender has signed with HC Bolzano, where he will be the starting goaltender. At 34, he's embarking on a new adventure abroad, but this time, he won't be going alone. He's chosen to bring his family with him to discover a new country, a new culture, and, above all, a new language.In an interview with Meeker Guerrier on 98.5, Domingue spoke about his new life and mentioned that he would have liked to play for th

Ivan Demidov is truly a rare gem on the Montreal Canadiens.
He's brimming with talent and is already making headlines thanks to his moves and vision.
There aren't many players like him… Nikita Kucherov comes to mind, but other than that, the list is very short.
Although he's only 20 years old, the young Russian is already inspiring the next generation of NHL prospects.
Young American Carter Meyer revealed to RG Media that Demidov is currently playing a major role in his development.

Last Sunday, the NHL Network released its ranking of the top 20 centers in the NHL. Nick Suzuki, who was expected to rank fairly high on the list, came in ninth.
Unsurprisingly, there are some players ahead of him. It would have been surprising to see him rank higher than Connor McDavid, Nathan MacKinnon, or Macklin Celebrini—we can all agree on that.
But there are some names ahead of him that have sparked some discussion.Introducing NHL Network's Top 20 Centers Right Now!

The race for the playoffs in the American League, as we know, is pretty wild. The final wild-card spot is up for grabs in a seven-team race.
And in reality, the three divisions aren't decided yet either. We suspect the Rays, the Yankees, and the Red Sox will make the playoffs, but everything else is still up for grabs.

For years, the Oilers have been searching for solutions in net. We've seen guys like Mike Smith, Mikko Koskinen, Jack Campbell, Stuart Skinner, Connor Ingram, and Tristan Jarry take turns as the team's No. 1 goaltender over the past few seasons.
And each time, the result has been… mediocre.
This summer, the team tried once again to find solutions. In addition to Jarry, the team acquired Devon Levi in a trade and also signed Frederik Andersen. Let's not forget that Andersen just helped the
