Intro for June 22, 2026

Dear Gossips,For the entire history of Netflix releasing original films, I have been a straight up hater on the idea of them ever investing in the theatrical business in a meaningful way. This comes after multiple conversations over many years with different people of increasing levels of power within the company who all echoed the same sentiment—it’s not our business model, and whatever theatrical releases we agree to, is just to keep the talent happy. Every filmmaker thinks they&rs

For the past few weeks, Tarik Skubal's situation has been the focus of attention in MLB. The star pitcher, who will become a free agent at the end of the season, is unlikely to remain with the Tigers beyond this season.
The team retained him for 2026, knowing full well that Skubal was highly likely to leave this winter. However, they wanted to give themselves a chance to be competitive this season.
That said, the Tigers struggled during the first few months of the season. The team was among the

It's no secret. The elephant in the room when it comes to the 2026 MLB season is the expiration of the collective bargaining agreement between players and owners. This agreement officially expires on December 1, and it's a safe bet that fans would love to wake up one fine morning to a notification on their phones stating that both sides have reached a multi-year agreement. But hey, only time will tell!
It's not just the fans who are in the dark. There are the owners and, above all, the players.

The Florida Panthers clearly have no intention of going through another tough season. In addition to getting their injured players back next year, the team has also added Brady Tkachuk to round out a formidable top-9 lineup.
And they're not too shabby on the blue line either, with Gustav Forsling, Aaron Ekblad, and Seth Jones, among others.
That said, the situation in net is still a bit unclear. Sergei Bobrovsky is without a contract for next season… and it's becoming increasingly apparen

Brady Tkachuk is no longer a member of the Ottawa Senators.
The power forward was traded to the Panthers last night, where he will continue his career alongside his brother Matthew.
What a great Father's Day gift for their dad, Keith, who also saw the doors to the Hockey Hall of Fame open for him today.Keith to the Hockey Hall of Fame, Brady and Matthew reunited in Florida… the Tkachuks are on a roll right nowpic.twitter.com/tJ2OFYCGeM

Paris Fashion Week kicks off tomorrow, and all the hot boys are in Paris for the occasion. “All” being, mainly, Connor Storrie, one of the hottest of the hot boys right now. Connor is, of course, weeks away from beginning production for season two of Heated Rivalry. If you’ve read the books, you’re probably excited, like me, because while Heated Rivalry, the book, is mostly Shane’s story—it covers his sexual awakening, self-acceptance, and coming out—The

Last night, Brady Tkachuk was traded to the Panthers. Like many others before him, he used his leverage (granted by his no-trade clause) to provide a short list of teams to which he would agree to be traded.
And, of course, the usual suspects were in the mix: in addition to the Panthers, the list included the Golden Knights, the Wild… and the Hurricanes, who just won the Stanley Cup.
What's clear is that, more than ever, players aren't afraid to use their leverage. And in the eyes of many

Let’s check in on one of pop culture’s more random couples, Taika Waititi and Rita Ora. They’ve been married since 2022, but lately it seems they’re being photographed less than they were earlier in their relationship. Let’s examine the evidence, starting with the most recent photos of Taika at the Chateau Marmont over the weekend with Rachel Forman. This got me wondering about the state of Taika-and-Rita.Now, Rachel Forman has known Taika Waititi a long time, she a

The B-52s and Devo are two of the most important and influential acts to come out of the late 1970s American New Wave rock scene. Now, the two acts are touring together on the Cosmic De-Evolution Tour 2026 and Vancouver is the only Canadian date on the tour.Coming straight out of the Athens, Ga., scene that would later birth R.E.M and others, The B-52s were an immediate hit when the band’s self-titled 1979 debut blew up thanks to singles such as Rock Lobster, Planet Claire and others.

The next few days are shaping up to be exciting for the Canadiens and their fans.
The draft is set to take place this weekend, and free agency opens next week…
But in the midst of all that, there's also the Habs' development camp coming up. And we have more details on that today.
Basically, the camp will kick off on the 30th with a day of physical tests. The players will undergo a series of tests so the Habs can evaluate them properly—and so the organization can get an update on the

When Blue Jays fans vote for the All-Star Game, they don’t hold back.
And since Canada is so much larger than any single market in the United States, this often gives Blue Jays players an edge.
In the most recent voting update, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. was once again leading the American League first basemen in votes.
Ernie Clement, meanwhile, leads the voting at second base. Several other players are on track to finish in the top 2 (or top 6 for outfielders) and have a real chance of being s

Timothée Chalamet and Selena Gomez are working together on an animated film, which means they actually might not even “work” together until the press junket.
Remember the lip-reading controversy of 2024? Internet sleuths were convinced Selena was talking about Timothée and Kylie but it was a wild guess. I actually think they will probably get along just fine and the Kylie factor is way overblown. I think it would be more fun if they all got along really well. A rearrang

Vancouver-shot horror film Backrooms just became the largest-grossing film for the Canadian film distributor Elevation Pictures.After this weekend’s ticket numbers were counted, Backrooms , which was released May 29, had $14.8 million in sales in Canada and a whopping US$301 million in worldwide sales. The film is also the top-grossing movie for the U.S. studio and distributor A24.Reports estimate it will likely earn around $340 million in its worldwide theatrical run.Produced by Vancouve

Michael Wilson's 2025 season with the Arizona Cardinals marked a turning point in his career.
The wide receiver finished the season with impressive stats: 126 receptions, over 1,000 yards, and seven touchdowns. Yet, despite this solid production, he remains largely underrated throughout the NFL.
Although he has received little national media attention, Wilson is beginning to attract the attention of analysts and league observers. His consistent performance and progress make him a player to watch

Brady Tkachuk is no longer a member of the Ottawa Senators.
The organization clearly wants to move on to the next step… because it changed its cover photo on its Facebook page.
And let's just say that the post in question is causing a stir for all the wrong reasons.
In fact, the Sens have changed their photo to one that reads:Who's next? – Ottawa SenatorsAnd that… was all it took for people to start poking fun at the Sens in the comments. Because, after all, the timing of tha

Today in Burn It All Down News, Amazon MGM Studios has dropped Luca Guadagnino’s upcoming film about Sam Altman and OpenAI. The news first broke Friday via Puck, and The Hollywood Reporter confirms that not only has Amazon MGM dropped the film—the third from Guadagnino that they were set to release, following Challengers and After the Hunt—but that Netflix and Focus Features have also now passed on the film. I hate it here.Guadagnino’s film is titled Artificial and is bil

The cast of Prime Video’s hit Off Campus joined the crowd at B.C. Place Stadium on Sunday for the Egypt vs. New Zealand World Cup match in Vancouver.When their images flashed on the big screen during the weekend game, the crowd cheered for the group of actors including: Vancouver actor Stephen Kalyn, Belmont Cameli, Antonio Cipriano, Jalen Thomas Brooks, Ella Bright, India Fowler and Louisa Levy.

The Toronto Blue Jays currently lack depth at infield positions, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Ernie Clement, Kazuma Okamoto, and Andres Gimenez being the only infielders on the Canadian team's roster.You'll probably point out that Davis Schneider is also an option, but I don't want to hear it. He should be where he belongs—in the minor leagues. The same goes for Luis Urias, who was acquired from the Arizona Diamondbacks on Saturday.
Especially since the Blue Jays have a much better option a

The Carolina Hurricanes are the most recent Stanley Cup champions.
They dominated the playoffs, and now, since the team's victory in the Stanley Cup Final against the Vegas Golden Knights, the players are enjoying the moment.
The players are really making the most of it, actually.
I say that… because there are photos circulating on various platforms where you can clearly see that the trophy is damaged. There's a big mark on the bottom of the cup, and at the top, you can see that the bowl

Elle, the television series prequel to Legally Blonde, premieres on Prime Video on July 1. Hard not to be cranky with Amazon/Prime Video right now, but we’ll get to that in a minute.
First, we must take notice of the “Elle World” event hosted in New York to celebrate the show over the weekend. It brought out not only the stars of the new series but also reunited the stars of Legally Blonde, including Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Coolidge, who wore a leopard print caftan. Beca

There you go. It’s done.
Carey Price is being inducted into the Hall of Fame.

The Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour continues for Tom Holland and Zendaya – today they were at a photo call in Berlin which, even though it’s work, must be so fun for them, that they get to do the work together, back-to-back, because they will likely be heading straight into promotion for The Odyssey after this. It’s a personal and professional honeymoon.There were a lot of headlines last week about Tom finally confirming, in an interview with Esquire UK, that he and Z got

The Canadiens want to do things the right way with Brendan Gallagher.
And we can all agree that this is only natural.
He's given the organization enough over the years to deserve this treatment, and he's earned it. Now, we'll have to wait and see if Kent Hughes will be able to trade the veteran… or if he'll have to buy out his contract.
That said, there's one thing we know about Gally. The Canucks are keeping a close eye on the situation, and that makes sense because we also know that Gal

The Seattle Seahawks' preparations for the 2026 NFL season are taking on a new dimension with the addition of a joint practice against the Tennessee Titans.
This special session will take place on August 21 in Nashville, two days before the preseason matchup between the two teams at Nissan Stadium.
Over the years, joint practices have become essential tools for NFL teams. They allow coaches to evaluate their players in competitive situations against a different opponent, while minimizing the ris

Even though the Boston Red Sox won two of their three games against the Seattle Mariners this weekend, they still find themselves 13 games below .500 with a record of 31 wins and 44 losses.
Currently, the Red Sox are six games out of the final playoff spot and 14½ games behind the leader in the American League East division.
So, despite the fact that it's still only June, hopes are slim for the Sox, and a fire sale could be on the horizon in Massachusetts.
So much so that, according to Ti

Jennifer Lopez was one of so many celebrities who went to see Ariana Grande on tour in LA – Saturday night was the last of five shows that Ariana has played over the last couple of weeks. And there’s some (non-JLo related) gossip here because KATSEYE members were in attendance on Friday night and so was Manon…but Manon went with The Kid Laroi and his girlfriend and there was supposedly no contact between her and the others. She’s been on “hiatus” from the gro

Senators General Manager Steve Staios spoke with the media early this afternoon.
And I don't think I need to spell it out for you to understand why he was in front of the reporters to answer their questions.
Things are pretty chaotic in Ottawa right now, after all. Especially since last night's Brady Tkachuk trade…
In the opening minutes of his press conference, Staios confirmed that the younger of the two Tkachuk brothers had asked to be traded. The two men met in New Jersey in recent we

The wait is finally coming to an end for football fans.With offseason activities now complete for most NFL organizations, the league has officially announced the dates for players to report to training camp for the 2026 season.
This milestone marks the true kickoff of preparations for the upcoming season. After several weeks of voluntary programs, minicamps, and supervised workouts, teams will soon enter a much more intense phase of their preparations.
The first groups to report will be the rook

In less than a month (on July 13), the circuit competition will take place. And as is often the case, it's hard to say in advance who will compete.
More and more, the big names are refusing to participate. There are several reasons for this (conserving energy, not disrupting their momentum, avoiding injury, etc.).
One might naturally wonder whether the new format—which is less taxing on the players—will change certain stars' perception of the popular contest.
But that won't be the ca
