Michael B Jordan: Same quote, a different way

Most of us probably agree that the September 2026 issue of American Vogue was a flop, right? The cover stars were Kaia Gerber and Homer Gere to promote The Shards – and this isn’t a personal criticism, not directed towards their performances, not a judgement about them as actors or celebrities or models just that, well, for a September issue the image was forgettable, more Cosmo than Vogue, and lacking in general overall excitement and charisma, possibly because neither one of them i

Oh my!
That's what came out of my mouth when I saw what happened to Kirill Marchenko earlier today.
And I'm sure I won't be the only one to have that reaction.
Basically, the Blue Jackets player seemed to not give a damn about the reporters during his press conference. He started off by saying he didn't know how to speak English anymore and that he could only talk about hockey.
The reporters there then asked him: Where would you like to play? And that's when Marchenko said… this:“On

Band documentaries can be as insipid as band biopics, glossy and polished and cutting away all the rough spots in favor of presenting a favorable, often self-aggrandizing view of the musicians. Not so in Gail, a documentary that is, ostensibly, about the 30th anniversary tour of Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace (whose hit single “Superman’s Dead” was inescapable in the late Nineties). But rather than follow the band on tour, Gail follows Gail Lichtman, a long-time OLP enthusia

The Mets will have to find a new manager this winter—or convince Andy Green that he'll be able to see his family often enough if he stays on full-time in 2027.
Who will be the lucky one?
Chances are that the big names (like Alex Cora) won't want to fall into the trap that is the New York Mets manager's job.
Will the club go with Carlos Beltran? He had been hired for the 2020 season but lost his job due to the Astros scandal.
But now that he's back with the Mets organization (as an advisor)

Dakota Johnson is a nepo baby on both sides and rose to internet popularity by scorching Ellen. She’s kind of fussed over for being kooky and iconic but let’s have a real conversation here: can Dakota Johnson carry a film? Can she…act? If we put her up against her contemporaries, is there an audience seeking out Dakota Johnson movies?
She’s a fun celebrity but the work is not top tier.View this post on InstagramA post shared by Vogue (@voguemagazine)Typically I’m n

Since the start of training camp, Florian Xhekaj has been paired with Josh Anderson.
It's been a rather… unique experience. 
This morning, after Group B's practice, Florian was asked what it would mean to him to play alongside his brother—if Arber were ever moved to the offense. And his answer was perfect.
Basically, Florian said the two brothers often talked about it when they were younger. You don't have to think too hard to realize that it would be one of their dreams.

When cameras picked back up for the latest season of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, which premiered this week, producers had their work cut out for them. The audience wondered how the show would dive in to the unfinished business between the castmates and all that has transpired since the reunion (read: LOTS), while balancing the storyline of a major tragedy – the death of Mary Cosby’s son, Robert Jr., due to a drug overdose.In a November 2024 Reality Recap column, I spoke about

How is David Reinbacher feeling right now, with training camp opening for the Montreal Canadiens?
Good. Very good, in fact, if his most recent comments are any indication.
Let's just say the defenseman sent a pretty clear message ahead of his game tomorrow… 
Reinbacher, who will travel to Toronto with the rest of Group B, mentioned after practice that he feels ready to prove himself.
The Habs have often protected him in recent years, and now, clearly, Reinbacher wants the spotlight o

Turning a starter into a reliever isn't always as easy as it might seem. But that's exactly what the New York Yankees will have to do for the rest of the season and the playoffs.
After a 440-day absence due to Tommy John surgery, Clarke Schmidt made his return with the Bombers on Wednesday, pitching two-thirds of an inning in the seventh against the Minnesota Twins before being pulled due to his pitch count.
It wasn't the outing of the century—he failed to complete a full inning after thro

Chris Kreider chose the Canadiens. Why?
There are several reasons, of course. The fact that the Canadiens are a good (Eastern Conference) team is one of the most important factors to consider in this decision.
But the presence of Martin St. Louis also tipped the scales.
We've seen it over the past few days: the bond between the two former teammates, who met while playing for the New York Rangers, is truly strong.
Perhaps even stronger than we realized.
But now, in an article on The Athletic's we

Anna Biller’s 2016 film The Love Witch has ascended to cult status over the last decade, and now she is back with a new, extremely aesthetic film, this time set in medieval England and done in the style of Technicolor schlock horror (think of all those Edgar Allen Poe movies Roger Corman made in the 1960s, like The Mask of the Red Death and The Fall of the House of Usher, or the work of Mario Bava such as The Whip and the Body). Biller writes, directs, produces, and acts as her own costume

What should we make of the Group B lines during practice?
Let's be honest: they aren't as easy to analyze as Group A's lines might be. Chris Kreider is on the first line, and no one doubts that.
But the last two lines—the guys from Group B? That's a different story.Group B is on the ice this morning in Brossard. Just for your enjoyment. Here are the lines and pairs.Bolduc-Dach-Texier

The Toronto Blue Jays currently have only a 25.4% chance of making the playoffs, according to FanGraphs.
This low percentage is due in part to the fact that the Blue Jays didn't have the series they'd hoped for against the Detroit Tigers earlier this week, having lost the first two games in dismal fashion before winning the final game 5-1 on Wednesday afternoon at Rogers Centre.
That victory brought the Jays' record to 76 wins and 77 losses this season, putting them two games behind the Clevelan

Never heard about this series until yesterday but now that I know, I’m in. Also, it’s HBO Max, and George Kay (Lupin etc) is the showrunner so it’s giving prestige…but with a healthy amount of trash. And it should be a little trashy considering the subject matter.WAR is about a tech billionaire and a movie star who are getting a divorce, and the legal battle that ensues. So, the lawyers and their legal strategy is also part of the story. If I were pitching it, then, it w

Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton were set to begin training camp without having added a single NHL-caliber player to their roster… until the day the Ducks placed Chris Kreider on waivers.
We know how it went from there: several teams expressed interest in Kreider, but his agent let just about every NHL team know that his client wouldn't be joining them.
Kreider had a list of three or four teams in mind—that's it.
He really wanted to play for the Montreal Canadiens.(Credit: Screenshot / Y

Professional sports are reaching a new milestone in Nova Scotia.Last Tuesday, the Halifax Wanderers organization officially submitted a bold plan to the Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM): the construction of a permanent 10,500-seat stadium on the historic site of the Wanderers Grounds.
This large-scale project, to be funded entirely with private capital, aims to replace the current temporary facilities—which can accommodate only 7,500 spectators and lack running water and adequate lighti

TIFF has a television section called “Primetime” (I will keep my opinion about TV shows playing at film festivals to myself but I will also mention that television festivals DO exist), and the highlight of this year’s Primetime program is Yaga, the Crave series starring Carrie-Anne Moss, Noah Reid, Clark Backo, and, of course, Hudson Williams in his first post-Heated Rivalry role.I liked the look of the Yaga teaser released during Comic Con, and they’ve also released a th

Things can change quickly in the NHL.
As Frank Seravalli mentioned on Jason Gregor's podcast yesterday, Samuel Montembeault has quickly gone from a goaltender who represented Canada at the Four Nations Tournament to one who is in danger of leaving the Canadiens.
Right now, he isn't among the two goaltenders that many people close to the Habs consider reliable.
That's why Seravalli believes not only that the Canadiens will trade him, but that he'll be the first player to find himself in that posi

Dear Gossips,I could write about the latest billionaire shenanigans threatening Hollywood (read here and here if you want), but you know what? It’s Friday. It’s my first few days back in the office after the respite of TIFF—as crazy as TIFF is, it’s better than f-cking work—let’s go into the weekend on a better note than whatever rich guy is ruining our good time today.
Let’s enjoy, instead, Jalen Brunson with Mariska Hargitay on the set of Law & Ord

There’s a reason you’ve never heard stories about actor Jacob Tremblay getting caught racing around in a supercar, drunkenly misbehaving at music festivals or making any other manner of child-star missteps.“I think a lot of it has to do with the people that I was able to surround myself with,” said Langley’s Tremblay, who began his acting career at age five and was just nine when the 2015 film Room was released to wide acclaim. “I’m really close with my

Samuel Blais hasn’t always had it easy in Montreal.
He was first placed on waivers after the 2025 training camp and was claimed by Toronto. He spent a few weeks there before returning to the Canadiens, again via waivers.
He was assigned to the Rocket, and even though Martin St-Louis used him here and there, he certainly didn't have the season he'd hoped for.
He played 21 games in the NHL (including 13 in Montreal) and 40 in the AHL. He didn't get the chance to be the player who could provi

While the National Football League (NFL) is eagerly eyeing the international market, Canada, paradoxically, remains on the sidelines.Despite a passionate fan base and a history of games played across the border, the world's most lucrative American football league has no plans to establish a franchise north of the border. The main culprit behind this exclusion? The glaring lack of modern infrastructure.
In a recent interview on the sports radio station TSN1050, Commissioner Roger Goodell heaped p

No one wants the last spot in the American League playoffs. At least, that's the impression I've gotten from watching baseball over the past few weeks.
The teams in the race seem to be doing everything they can to lose.
Last night, the Texas Rangers let Trevor Story hit a three-run homer for the Red Sox to clinch a 4-3 victory.
Needless to say, Texas couldn't afford to lose, right?

Oliver Kapanen admits he hit a wall during the final months of the 2025–2026 season.
That's why, after spending most of the season on the second line, he finished the season either on the bottom two lines or in the stands.
And in the playoffs, he didn't always see ice time.
Kapanen knows, therefore, that he didn't have enough gas in the tank to finish the season up to expectations. And he wants to change that.
In an interview yesterday, he admitted that he's adjusted his summer training re

The Canadian Football League announced three suspensions following the particularly eventful game between the Montreal Alouettes and the British Columbia Lions.
The penalties come as several incidents during the game have drawn attention.
Lions defensive back Josh Hagerty was suspended for two games for striking Alouettes running back Liam Talbot. According to reports following the game, Talbot suffered a serious injury that required surgery.

The Montreal Alouettes are facing a major setback after Liam Talbot suffered a serious injury during their recent game against the British Columbia Lions.

The situation surrounding Liam Talbot's injury quickly drew attention, particularly due to the nature of the incident. According to reports, Lions player Josh Hagerty was responsi
