The Rock sure has the whole smoldering thing down. On Wednesday, Dwayne Johnson's smolder got an adorable shout-out on Twitter from eighth grader Thea Lapham, who thanked the Jumanji: The Next Level star in her school play biography. After detailing her past musical theater experience, the superfan wrote, "Thea would like to thank her parents for always believing in her, her siblings for always testing her limits (in a good way), her friends for their support, and last but not least, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson for his good looks and smouldering intensity." With the help of her uncle Canadian T.V. personality Ben Mulroney, the hilarious bio made its way onto Johnson's radar. Mulroney...

Meghan Markle is going to be a mom! On Monday, Kensington Palace announced that the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Harry are expecting their first child. The couple reportedly shared the exciting news with the royal family during Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's wedding last Friday, but it seems Meghan's Bff Jessica Mulroney actually knew months ago. According to Us Weekly, Meghan confided in Jessica when she visited her in Toronto this past August.

Not only did Jessica serve as a bridesmaid at her wedding, but Jessica also styles Meghan for royal events every now and then.

In fact, her bond with Bff Serena Williams is stronger than ever today. "We were actually just texting each other this morning," Serena, 36, told The Project in a new interview. "We have known each other for a long time, but we really are relying on each other a lot recently." (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Serena also gushed about attending Meghan's wedding on May 19.

She's taking a little break! In the midst of her family drama, Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle has reportedly left London for Toronto for a solo trip without her husband, Prince Harry. On Sunday, Aug. 19, The Mirror — citing royal news hub Royal Central — reported that Meghan, 37, recently boarded an Air Canada flight to Toronto and, prior to her travels, Kensington Palace sent the airline a letter with her itinerary and strict instructions "requesting that no one takes Meghan’s picture or approaches her on the flight." Meghan's jaunt to Canada is her very first solo trip abroad since she married Harry, 33, in mid-May and thus officially became a member of the British royal family. Though it is unknown why exactly the Duchess traveled to Toronto, it is thought that Meghan is simply taking some time away from her royal duties and possibly visiting her close friend Jessica Mulroney and her family.

The royal wedding has come and gone, and the new Duchess of Sussex seems to have settled into her role nicely. But the one thing we can't stop thinking about from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's nuptials — aside from Meghan's wedding dress and veil — is the adorable page boy, Brian Mulroney, whose ear-to-ear grin brought lighthearted cheer to Meghan's nerve-wracking walk down the aisle. Ben Mulroney, the youngster's father, recently revealed what caused his son's joy and the reason is just so cute. "I asked him, and he said he’d never heard a trumpet before," Ben said of his seven-year-old son during a recent segment of the Canadian TV show Your Morning. "I think when he walked in [the chapel], he saw all the people there, and the flowers, none of that was there during the rehearsal."

When Meghan Markle made her royal debut alongside Prince Harry at their engagement photo call at Kensington Palace last November, she did so in a white wrap coat, nude shoes and a dress from a virtually unknown Italian label – a look carefully orchestrated from afar by her best friend, Toronto-based stylist Jessica Mulroney. The entire outfit sold out instantly as did the outfit Meghan wore at her first official royal engagement later that week – which Mulroney also styled.

Ryan Reynolds loves being a father to two daughters. What he doesn't love, though, is the idea that they will one day enter into the dating world. "I'm doing my part to just wipe men off the face of the planet," he joked in an interview with eTalk's Ben Mulroney Wednesday. Humor aside, he added, "It's the best. It's the best! It's the best thing that could ever happen to you." Ryan and his wife, Blake Lively, recently welcomed their second daughter, who joins big sister James Reynolds, nearly 2. Having two children to take care hasn't changed Ryan's approach to parenting much. "It didn't change the dynamic. There's just more. There's more love. There's more...

Hollywoodnews.com: All of the criticism leveled at Academy Awards hosts Anne Hathaway and James Franco – and believe me, they were roasted by the media for their awkward turn on Sunday night – wouldn’t matter a lick if the duo was able to deliver on the TV ratings and pull in the coveted 18 to 34 demographic.
But they couldn’t.
While the overall television ratings for this year’s Academy Awards telecast was down nearly 10% from the previous year – to an estimated 37.6 million viewers, down from last year’s figure of 41.7 million viewers – the demographic Hathaway and Franco were hired to lure dropped 5% from the previous year, according to GoldDerby.
Not a significant drop, but a drop. And these two were hired to boost that number. So the experiment failed, and it’s back to the drawing board for Oscar’s producers, who must come up with...

Ben Mulroney with eTalk was in attendance at this years Academy Awards on the red carpet and got the chance to talk to Hugh Jackman who gave us his opinion on what Darren Aronofsky has managed to pull off with 'The Wolverine' "I did a film with Darren in the past, and his vision with this movie, he's just gonna knock it out of the park with this one." Not really anything too huge here but it's something I suppose. Either way I'm extremely excited for this movie, Jackman's dedication to the character of Wolverine is outstanding, and the way he is bulking up for the movie, and they have Darren Aronofsky directing, I think this might turn out to be the X-Men movie we've all been waiting for.

The Trotsky Written and directed by Jacob Tierney Starring: Jay Baruchel, Colm Feore, Saul Rubinek, Genevieve Bujold, and Emily Hampshire There's nothing like a good movie about Marxism and fascism. Montreal born director Jacob Tierney has made quite an amusing film here. Jay Baruchel (Knocked Up, Tropic Thunder) stars as teenager Leon Bronstein and he truly believes that he is the reincarnation of Bolshevik and Marxist theorist Leon Trotsky. Why do you ask? Well, for one Leon Bronstein was the given name to Leon Trotsky and this kid has a big thing for workers rights and unions. He thinks his life should parallel Trotsky's life so much that he plans on being exiled, at least twice, and ultimately assassinated. At the moment though, he's quite focused on finding his Lenin and an older woman to marry, preferably named Alexandra. We get a good glimpse of what this kid is all about when,...
