Add another person to the list of those helping Meghan Markle and Prince Harry someday marry!
David Johnston, Governor General of Canada, told ITV that the romance is strengthening ties between the U.K. and Canada, where the American actress films her show Suits and has adopted as a second home.
“I think it would be quite marvellous and I hope it would be quite marvellous for him and obviously it will help to bring us together,” Johnston said. “But, you know, that reflects so many of the people-to-people ties that are so strong. I think about 20% of our citizens...

Parody Twitter accounts — the good ones, anyway — are precise, impatient and always hungry for their next big joke. They blow through social media like a brushfire, burning until they’ve engulfed all of the air in the room, and then they flame out (the good ones, anyway). They are, in many ways, not unlike a certain nominee for President, himself a parody of a Republican candidate. But how can satire survive the age of Donald Trump, a time when everything is absurd and nothing is funny?
The answer, for the film world anyway, arrived in early September. The industry had congregated at the Toronto International Film Festival, as it always does during the week after Labor Day, but this year was different — this year, it felt as though everyone who had traveled there from the United States had been granted a furlough from the impossibly grim soap opera that was unfolding back home.

When Prince William and Kate Middleton arrive in Ottawa on Thursday to kick off their Royal Tour of Canada, the newlyweds won’t be checking-in to a luxury hotel. Instead, they’ll be checking-in to a luxury home!
The Department of Canadian Heritage has confirmed to HollywoodLife.com that the Royals will spend Thursday and Friday evening at Rideau Hall, the 173-year old home of David Johnston, Canada’s Governor General and representative of the Queen in Canada.
Discreetly located, away from the city center, the sprawling estate occupies 88 acres and houses 24 buildings. The main building alone consists of 170 rooms!
Visiting dignitaries and members of the Royal family often stay at Rideau Hall. In face, William’s grandmother, The Queen, stayed there during her 2010 Royal Tour Of Canada.
Rideau Hall’s architecture reflects what’s known as a Florentine Renaissance Revival style. It includes a massive ornate ballroom, whose highlight is a glass chandelier,...

Police lights flash. Sirens blare. Medics rush toward the twisted wreckage of a totaled car. Firefighters sprint into a burning building. Colombian guerrillas wreak havoc in a small rural village. This…is American Idol? Yes, it is. Or rather, this…is American Idol…misguidedly dipping its toe into the reenactment business.
What the heck? Has Nigel Lythgoe been drawing inspiration from one too many Friday-night viewings of 48 Hours: Mystery (and its penchant for using low-rent stock footage to tell a tale)? Or is it merely the fact that, seven episodes in to the season 10 auditions, he’d try just about...

"American Idol" travels to San Francisco and clearly the California talent is split north/south because it is 100x better than Los Angeles.
San Francisco kicks off with Inessa Lee, a Ukrainian girl that makes us feel fairly uncomforatable because she's very sexualized in her YouTube videos, but she also looks 14. There's an Ick Factor here. She sings "I'm All Out of Love" by Air Supply, which makes us love her just a little bit because - Air Supply! But it's not that good and she also has that Kirsten Dunst snaggletooth thing going, as she simpers and Betty Boops her way around the room. Back to icky.
After a rough morning full of bad singers and bird poop, the afternoon starts with Brittany Mazur, Lara Johnston and Matthew Nuss who all sing very nice in the tiny snippet we see and get sent to Hollywood.
The next full audition is Stefano Langone,...

It might seem strange to kick off with a quote from 'Pump Up the Volume,' but we're living in a "'why bother?' generation." There are so many people that need help, slices of life that need to be improved, that it seems like too much -- a massive whirlwind where one person cannot make a difference. It often seems pointless to try, especially when it's a long and ongoing struggle, like 'The Cove's' attempt to stop the Taiji dolphin hunt.
But if there's any reminder for us to stop sitting on our collective behinds and do something -- anything, it's Kurt Kuenne and his documentary 'Dear Zachary, A Letter to a Son About His Father.' After experiencing a tragic loss that could have been avoided, he made a film and pushed not only for audiences to see it, but also the...
