Pics of Blake Lively’s Wedding Ring Surface

Blake Lively returned the set of Gossip Girl for the first time as a newlywed — but made sure to keep her new ring out of sight. Buzzkill.

-Oh wait! The paps caught a glimpse of the ring on the day after the wedding. A light pink, oval cut diamond…hmmm. Well, at least it’s still better than Jessica Biel’s.

-Speaking of Blake, she’s continuing her totally baller moves by making it clear that she didn’t cut an exclusive deal with People for wedding coverage — despite what their new cover story implies.

-Meanwhile, Blake’s costar Penn Badgley really, really wants to move on from GG– even though he understands why his character “needs to be a douche bag sometimes.”

-There are more rumours (albeit shady ones) that Robsten is indeed back on. If true, it’ll be interesting to see how the studio handles it. Stage a cuddly reunion on the red carpet, or bury the news and keep riding the wave of goodwill that’s being directed at Robert Pattinson (even if it’s at the expense of KStew)?

Silver Lining Playbook won the People’s Choice Award at TIFF, thus upholding our festival’s grand tradition of making WTF picks…

-I recognized way too many of Buzzfeed’s list of “forgotten” heartthrobs from the 80s and 90s.

-Speaking of Buzzfeed lists, I would watch the crap out of all of these TV concepts!

Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey have only been working together on Idol for a day, and already there are reports of them being “at each other’s throats.”

-Pot, meet kettle. Lindsay Lohan is tweet-slamming Amanda Bynes‘ driving record.

-Meanwhile, Amanda finally (finally!) had her car taken away from her.

Aaron Paul looks appropriately perplexed while sitting in the front row at the Burberry show.

The Master‘s record-breaking release is yet another clue that Scientology’s death grip on Hollywood is slipping. (Although can we really infer future box office success from just five theatres?)

-It had to happen sooner or later: a real-life Walter White was just arrested.

Madonna continues to mistakenly think we care about her rivalry with Lady Gaga.

Oprah‘s ratings grab continues with a new sit-down interview with Usher.

-Meanwhile, Usher is set to replace Cee-Lo on The Voice next year, while Shakira will reportedly take over Christina Aguilera‘s seat.

-Speaking of ratings grabs, Kourtney Kardashian showed all the icky details from her daughter’s birth on last night’s season finale of her reality show. Yikes!

Lea Michele is reportedly the new face of L’Oreal.

-It looks like Amy Poehler and Will Arnett’s split might actually be amicable. He attended her 41st birthday party over the weekend.

-You don’t want to mess with Modern Family‘s Eric Stonestreet. He was escorted out of a Dodgers game after getting into a verbal altercation with a Cardinals fan.

Emma Stone and Andrew Garfield won the weekend by turning the paparazzi into charity messengers.

-A new clip from The Vampire Diaries’ season premiere just landed. I’m so in.

-Speaking of TV sneak peeks, here’s the trailer for Parks and Recreation‘s new season.

-Here’s a photo of Mila Kunis kissing Ashton Kutcher. Don’t click if you like your eyeballs!

-Speaking of eyeball pain, take a gander at Eva Longoria’ ALMAs dress. Whaaaa????

Keira Knightley looks great (and pout-free!) on the cover of Vogue.

-Speaking of Vogue, Rihanna just tweeted (and then quickly deleted) news that she’s posing for her second cover.

-Do you have $10 mil kicking around? Then Reese Witherspoon’s ranch could be yours! (Robert Pattinson‘s tear-soaked pillow not included.)

-Holy crap — Ben Folds‘ new video features the Fraggles!

My TIFF Recap In Really Crappy Pictures

Every year, I try to take photos of some of the stars I see during the film festival, and every year I fail horribly. This year was more horrible than most, which is ironic since I saw more celebs than usual. But since I can’t snaps pics at the parties (especially if I want to get invited back next year), I’m stuck with taking photos in dark theatres and on random street corners. Here are the terribly blurry results. If you squint and turn your head 45 degrees to the left, you might just be able to make out who I’m talking about:

James Franco signing autographs autographs at the Toronto International Film Festival

Emma Watson, Mae Whitman, Ezra Miller, Johnny Simmons and Nina Dobrev at The Perks of Being a Wallflower's TIFF premiere.

Here's The Sessions star John Hawkes.

I wish I could have got a pic of Spike Lee's hand-painted Jordans. He had a friend drive up from Cleveland to deliver them a few hours before his Bad 25 premiere.

Amy Poehler CAN Have It All (Plus an Extra Order of Waffles)

Note: Two more TIFF screenings to go to and then I’m going to sleep for the rest of the month! I’ll post my (admittedly terrible) photos at some point this weekend. (Although I’m just scrolling through them now, and it seems to be mostly elbows. *Famous* elbows, but still…)

-Gross: Patti Stranger is saying that Amy Poehler‘s success led to her marriage failing. Please make this woman go away.

-Also gross: everyone’s talking about those topless Kate Middleton photos, which were obviously taken from 20 ft. away by a creepy creeping pap. What happened to France having the world’s toughest paparazzi laws? Meanwhile, the editor of the magazine says that the outrage is “disproportionate.” Uh-huh.

Sally Struthers was arrested, charged with DUI, and rewarded with a surprisingly great mugshot in Maine on Thursday.

-Just one day after photographed smoking pot while driving on a suspended license and being ordered to knock it off by a judge, Amanda Bynes got into yet another fenderbender. Why is TMZ doing more than the police to keep this girl off the road?

-The cast of Cougar Town have released a song in anticipation of the new season. Adorabs!

Eva Longoria is dating a New York Jet. Yay?

-I can’t decided if all of this week’s Alison Pill gossip is a coincidence or a total baller move. Either way, it’s not hurting her.

Buzzfeed pulled together a great article called ’17 People with Surprising Google Bacon Numbers.’

-News that Zachary Quinto and Jonathan Groff are dating is warming my heart guts.

Billy Campbell (who has the best crinkley-eyed smile in Hollywood) just saved some peeps at sea, ’cause that’s how he rolls.

-It’s kind of sweet that Jackson Rathbone asked Twilight costar Nikki Reed to be his kid’s godmother.

-I don’t know if Dr. Phil‘s interview with Dina Lohan is going to be half as good as the preview suggests, but it looks kind of amazing.

-This CW explanation of Dan’s hair evolution on Gossip Girl made my day.

-Speaking of Dan/Penn Badgley, the Globe and Mail named his Jeff Buckley movie one of their six favourite TIFF flicks. I must admit, despite my initial ambivalence it’s one of two I’ve seen so far that’s stayed with me the longest.

-Speaking of TIFF, Wes Bentley was unable to attend because he was denied entry into Canada thanks to a past drug bust.

Kate Hudson is having a great week. She looks amazing on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar and she was good on Glee’s surprisingly not-sucky season premiere.

-Meanwhile, Dianna Agron just quit Glee.

Angelina Jolie‘s leg showed up at TIFF last night, but it was attached to Penelope Cruz’s body.

Amy Poehler continues her reign of awesome.

-Speaking of Amy, check out a scene from next week’s Parks and Recreation premiere. She’s looking great! They’ve finally (finally!) figured out her hair colour.

Britney Spears may have done a decent job on The X Factor season premiere, but audiences couldn’t have cared less, judging by the ratings.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were snapped looking all blissed-out in Bedford, NY.

-Despite her cryptic Tweets about needing more passion in her life, Miley Cyrus insists her relationship with Liam Hemsworth is fine.

-What’s worse than a Marchesa show? How about Marchesa show where Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are making out in the front row?

-The first official trailer for Lincoln has landed. Just hand Daniel Day-Lewis the Oscar already.
