I didn’t want to write this post because it would mean it’s true. We have lost not only a fantastic actor and one of the funniest comedians but we have lost a truly great man. I never had the privilege of meeting him but seeing all the messages over social media tells me that I’m not alone in...

Here's the brand new music video for Katy Perry's 5th single of her album "Prism." The title of the song is "This Is How We Do" and features many different looks and a twerking ice cream cone. Check it out!
Katy Perry recently announced her next single and also released the lyrics video for the song. The song is titled This Is How We Do! and is the fifth single off of Prism, following Roar, Unconditionally, Dark Horse and Birthday.
This song is described as somewhat of a follow-up or continuation to Last Friday Night. I can definitely hear this song blasting on the weekends and throughout the remainder of the summer and people having some fun. Enjoy!
Brad Pitt and Angelina Set to Film New Movie Together
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie will star together in the new Universal Pictures movie, By the Sea. This will be the first time the two have appeared in a film together since Mr. and Mrs. Smith (2005). That of course is the infamous film in which the two met. Angelina will be working overtime on this film as she was also the writer and will direct.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the two will be getting married in the film, which will be a site that fans and the media have been waiting to see. It has been rumoured for quite a while that Brad and Angelina secretly tied the knot a few years ago but there's never been any confirmation.
Angelina is currently in post-production on another Universal Pictures film, Unbroken, which she produced and directed. There's no word on when By the Sea will begin production or the anticipated release date but it's got the potential to be great. We can't wait to see it!

It's the video that all the Hunger Games fans have been waiting to see! Check out the exclusive teaser trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1. The movie hits the big screen in November 2014. Can't wait!
Leafs Re-Sign James Reimer
The Leafs have re-signed goaltender, James Reimer, to a two-year contract and have avoided salary arbitration. This follows the re-signing of defenceman Cody Franson to a 1 year, $3.3 million dollar deal. This new contract will likely make it easier for the Leafs to trade Reimer, who has also requested a trade. It was rumoured that the Winnipeg Jets had made an offer for the goalie but the Leafs turned it down because they felt it wasn't fair.
The whole situation surrounding Reimer has been very unfortunate since he is an incredibly talented goalie who has struggled under the coaching of Randy Carlyle, who has openly criticized his goalie to the media. I'm hoping the best for Reimer because he is a class act and truly deserves it.
Toronto Maple Leafs Sign David Booth
The Leafs have signed left winger David Booth to a 1 year, $1.1 million contract. Last month, the Vancouver Canucks bought out Booth after a rough season in which he only had 9 goals and 10 assists in 66 games. In 2008-2009, Booth had his only 30 goal season. I hope he has a successful season with the Leafs and can make an impact for the team.
Leafs Hire New Assistant GM
The Toronto Maple Leafs have hired 28 year old Kyle Dubas as the new assistant General Manager of the team. He will work alongside Dave Nonis, the current GM, as well as Brendan Shanahan who is President and alternate governor for the Leafs. The team has also cut ties with Dave Poulin, who was formerly the vice president of hockey operations, and Claude Loiselle, the former assistant GM.
Although Dubas is very young and has not worked for any NHL team, he brings a lot of hockey experience, having worked with many hockey organizations. He is also known to be very analytical and focuses a lot on the statistic - think Moneyball.
It seems like the Leafs are ready to shake-up this organization and change the way things have been done up to this point. It would've been nice to see a coaching change but it's going to be interesting to see how the Leafs do this season.
Concert Review: Katy Perry
Recently, I was lucky enough to attend a Katy Perry concert. This was the final of three sold-out shows in Toronto. Keep reading to find out what I really think and whether it's really worth the ticket price. One thing I keep reading about Katy Perry from the critics is that she’s not talented and it’s just the big production that keeps her in the business. I will definitely be addressing that critique.
The first thing that strikes you walking into the ACC is the mixed fan base. You couldn’t pinpoint it and say her fan base only consists of kids and teens. There were young kids attending their first concerts and grandparents too. That’s one thing that sets Katy apart from many of the other “pop stars” in the industry. Majority of the current pop stars have a target fan base but Katy’s started with her since the beginning and she keeps adding more fans of all ages along the way.
The Opening Acts: Ferras and Capital Cities
The opening acts were Ferras and Capital Cities. Life for opening acts is always tough since the crowd usually aren't as excited as they are for the main act. Ferras hit the stage around 7 pm, which I feel was a little too early since a lot of people were still trying to get through the crowds. I unfortunately missed his set and was really disappointed because his self-titled EP is really good and I would’ve loved to hear how his music translates to the stage. Capital Cities did a fantastic job trying to get the crowd involved and really hyped everyone up for Katy Perry. They are an incredibly talented band and definitely kept everyone entertained. My favourite part of their set was when they asked the crowd to take out their cellphones and shine the flashlights in the air. There was a fair sized gap between the two opening acts so I think it would be better to push back Ferras’ set to 7:15/7:30. That will give the crowd more of an opportunity to see the insanely talented Ferras.
There was another gap and the crowd started getting more and more excited as the Prism started getting built in the center of the stage. At around 9:15 pm, it was time for Katy Perry to start and the crowd roared with excitement.
The Main Act: Katy Perry
Katy Perry started off the show by emerging from a Prism at the center of the stage and she began singing Roar. The thing that struck me from the beginning of the show all the way to the end was how massive the production was for this concert. Katy Perry took no shortcuts and made sure that every single person on stage was featured in their own special way. No matter where you looked there was always something going on and it makes you feel like you want to go to the show again just to see what you missed the first time around. Everyone from the band to the dancers to the backup singers were fully incorporated into the show and the massive stage was used so well it made it seem small!
One of my favourite parts of the show was the acoustic set. This is when Katy connected with the crowd and really connected with every individual in the venue. She shared a bit of her story and told about she feels the weight of expectation at times. It wasn't just filler as the stage was setup or just random words thanking the fans. It was genuine. This all led to one of her most emotional songs, By the Grace of GOD.
I said I would answer the critiques about it just being about the big production with no substance and no talent. I strongly disagree. It was during the acoustic set where Katy really shined. She has the talent and it's not just about the big productions. She has songs that show her faith in GOD, and talks about how people should believe in themselves. Her songs are not just meaningless fluff. Before her performance of "Love Me", a song about loving and valuing yourself, she told the crowd how important it was to value and love themselves.
The transition between the acoustic set was filled with a lot of dancing and showcased the phenomenal dancers on tour with Katy. A lot of these dancers were on Katy's California Dreams tour and have become superstars in their own rights, deservedly so. Katy Perry's final performances of the night were filled with so much energy that you just didn't want it to end. She got close to the crowd during Birthday and ended the show with a giant bang.
The only thing that was a slight negative point was a slight issue with the sound system that made it a little hard to understand what was being said and sung at times. This was especially apparent during the chorus of Wide Awake. However, it seemed to get better as the show progressed and overall it was a phenomenal show. The price of the show made many raise their eyebrows, $160, but overall it was totally worth it. The stage design, lavish production, costume changes and the overall show themes and atmosphere were phenomenal. The production cost of the tour itself and the amount of value you get back from this show more than covers the ticket price.
I would love to see the show again and would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a fan of Katy Perry, her music or just a great show! I really hope Katy makes a concert DVD for this tour!
Just Married: Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo
Congratulations to the happy couple! Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo are officially husband and wife after saying "I Do!" on July 19th in Los Cabos, Mexico.
People Magazine reported that the wedding was basically a giant dance party with everyone enjoying themselves all night long. Adam Levine's childhood friend and actor, Jonah Hill, officiated the wedding and his bandmates from Maroon 5 were also part of the wedding party. There were plenty of musical performances, including Stevie Nicks and Maroon 5 too. Even Behati sang the Bright Eyes song "First Day of My Life", which she dedicated to Adam.
We wish the happy couple a lot of happiness together! :) Photo Credit: Fubiz.net
Naya Rivera's Surprise Wedding
Naya Rivera got married to Ryan Dorsey on July 19th. This was a surprise to many people since they didn't even know that Ryan and Naya were dating and even more so because Naya just ended her engagement to Big Sean just three months ago amid allegations of him cheating. Ryan and Naya have known each other for around 4 years and were just friends but became romantically involved following Naya's split from Big Sean back in April.
The ceremony took place in Cabo and on the same date that Naya and Big Sean were supposed to get married, which is also Ryan's birthday. Naya wore a beautiful Monique Lhuillier gown and Ryan wore a Dolce & Gabbana suit. They both looked great and we wish them a lot of happiness! :)

Katy Responds to Roar's MTV VMA Snub
It was Dark Horse and not the anthemic powerhouse Roar that earned Katy Perry two VMA nominations. This was a shock to many as Roar was the bigger hit. Katy responded via twitter in her usual awesome way. Check out the tweet.
I’m not surprised that MTV missed the opportunity to nominate the amazing video for Roar. It’s not like they play music videos anymore…

New Music: Ferras - Legends Never Die (Feat. Katy Perry)
This song by Ferras is probably one of my favourite songs right now. Both him and Katy Perry sound amazing and their voices blend so well together.
Ferras is currently on tour with Katy Perry and is the first artist that Katy has signed to her new label, Metamorphosis Music, a subsidiary of Capitol Records.
Check out this amazing song and the rest of Ferras' self-titled EP!
Adam Levine Set to Say "I Do"
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo will be getting married tomorrow (Saturday) in Los Cabos, an exclusive Mexican resort. Behati's fellow Victoria's Secret angels, Candice Swanepoel and Erin Heatherton, will both be in attendance with reports stating that Candice will be a bridesmaid. Levine's bandmates will also be part of the ceremony with Jesse Carmichael, keyboardist of Maroon 5, serving as the best man.
This promises to be a beautiful wedding ceremony and a lavish affair with the entire 72 room Hotel El Ganzo being rented out for the nuptials.
Congratulations to the happy couple! We all wish Adam and Behati the absolute best and a life filled with happiness! :)
Germany Wins the World Cup!
Congratulations to the new World Cup champions, Germany!
Although the game remained scoreless throughout the full 90 minutes and most of extra time, it was a highly entertaining and fast-paced match throughout. The defense was tight on both ends but the few chances that squeaked through were exciting and both teams showed plenty of determination and heart.
At one point in the match it looked like Argentina had taken the lead with a brilliant shot by Gonzalo Higuaín, however he was deemed to be offside and the goal was waved off. The replays confirmed this call and the referees and linesmen actually did a really good job in this match. This came on the heels of another chance for Higuaín who was unable to capitalize on an error by Germany's Toni Kroos.
It was not until late in extra time with penalty kicks looming that Mario Götze, who had come on as a substitute for Miroslav Klose, put a perfectly placed shot past the Argentinian goalie, Sergio Romero.
Lionel Messi was unable to break through and although he got a few chances, he couldn't conjure up anymore magic and struck the ball wide of the net on any opportunities that he got. Messi scored 4 goals and was named the Golden Ball winner as the tournament's most valuable player but was unable to score any goals in the knock-out rounds.
Germany's goalie, Manuel Neuer, was named the best goalie of the tournament and walked away with the Golden Glove award. The full list of award winners can be found at the end of this article.
This has been a brilliant tournament and it seems like the best team did win it. Germany was special because it didn't just rely on a single superstar player but rather relied on the team as a whole. This win was a whole team effort and not just an individual showing. Congratulations once again to Germany and Thank You to Brazil for a great tournament!

Eva Mendes Reportedly 7 Months Pregnant
If you listen closely you can hear millions of people around the world letting out a collective scream of "noooooo!" Yup, Eva Mendes is reportedly 7 months pregnant with her and Ryan Gosling's first child. Ryan Gosling melted many hearts in The Notebook and dated his co-star Rachel McAdams for a few years on and off before calling it quits. However, many fans hoped that the love story was not over between Gosling and McAdams. It seems that the dream for The Notebook fans is over.
It has been reported that Mendes, 40, would like to get married but Gosling, 33, sees no need to get married. The relationship between the two has reportedly been on and off since 2011 since they were never photographed together, however, those reports were usually quashed soon after.
If these reports are true, I wish the couple the absolute best and hope Eva has a healthy pregnancy and the baby is healthy as well.
To all the Gosling fans that are sad today, I hope this helps.
