These days, everyone and their grandmother has a celebrity gossip blog. Perez Hilton became a millionaire by outing Lance Bass and defacing paparazzi photos, while TMZ.com (named for the Thirty Mile Zone surrounding Hollywood) came out of nowhere in 2005 and almost instantaneously became the top site to see celebrities behaving badly.

It’s not been a week since the Toronto International Film Festival left us, and this week’s new releases make it hard for us to move on despite a couple of TIFF premieres leading the way.

Did you know that 26% of Ontarians believe in creationism? 42% of Canadians think dinosaurs and humans coexisted on earth. Check out these fun stats from a recent Angus Reid poll.

We love The Patterns Trilogy. If we had more parties at our apartment, we’d have it running on our television or projected onto a wall, looping endlessly. Well, if we could be sure it wouldn’t hypnotize our guests (and ourselves) into a sublime stupefaction. Therefore, Trilogy of Trilogies, one of tonight’s Worldwide Short Film Festival programmes (playing at 7:15 p.m. at the Cumberland), which features The Patterns Trilogy along with The Saskatchewan Trilogy, is our specially designated hot ticket of the week. It’s a ticket so hot, if you put it in your trouser pocket, it would set your trousers on fire and you’d get really bad burns on your legs.

OMG! This week sees the release of Kickin' It Old Skool, a Jamie Kennedy vehicle. He plays a breakdancer who awakes from a 20-year coma and something that Jamie Kennedy probably considers hilarity ensues. We here at Torontoist Towers are astounded at the idea that somebody greenlighted a film with Jamie Kennedy in it. Absoultely gob-smacked.

Remember how lame grade nine science class was?

Torontoist thinks it's pretty disprespectful when the din of bar chatter drowns out a performer, and our hearts go out to anyone who's ever tried to entertain a crowd of drunken patrons who think that opening acts are merely background music to obnoxious, beer-soaked conversation.

Damn it, Arcade Fire, why do you keep teasing us?

. Anyway, now that’s over, we can say that we didn’t get a chance to see it at TIFF but everyone liked it a lot then and everyone likes it a lot now. NOW give it the cover feature, and Barrett Hooper notes it has “a perversely appealing mix of romance, humour and bestiality that will have you laughing hard and nodding knowingly even as it leaves the occasional bad taste in your mouth”.

Last night marked the second occasion of our favourite new quarterly amusement: Watching Cheesy Dance Movies With Toronto's B-girl Crew, Shebang!

Frank over at OMG Blog passed along this ludicrous looking poster that he spotted along Queen West. It's yet another condo development with yet another silly marketing slogan, this time the Bohemian Embassy. Frank goes on to critique the co-option of the word bohemian by various things including Broadway musicals, and now really really inept condo marketers.

Torontoist thinks that we've done a good job of showing people that Torontonians throw away some pretty good stuff. Which makes us wonder why Michigan doesn't want our trash? We're practically giving the stuff away and those ungrateful Americans are actually trying to ban it.

is presenting! He’ll be all edgy spelt with a ‘3’ and probably insult George Bush or something! Will he mention Cheney shooting a lawyer again? OMG that dude is the funny!

Torontoist would like to self-select himself to be the Joan Rivers of the Untitled Art Awards. TUAA is arguably the city's best known visual arts award and judging from the nominees list a good chunk of the city's visual arts elite should be showing up. Last year's show had the Mayor eating an improvised meal to avant-garde jazz, acceptance speeches and beer, it was held at a brewery.
