Canada's Princess

The royals have landed, but it's clear that Duchess Kate is Canada's new favorite royal. The newlyweds embarked on their 11-day tour through Canada today, with their first stop being in Ottawa. While Prince William used to elicit excitement from crowds, this trip is all about Kate. Thousands of fans gathered in Ottawa to greet the royal couple, though cries of "We love you Kate" dominated the crowds. The Duchess looked chic in a Erdem Moralioglu dress that will surely sell out across the world. Are you planning on seeing the royals during their inaugural Canadian visit?

Warm Fuzzies for the TTC

The TTC may be suitable for Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen, but even they would have to agree that it's not the "better way" during rush hour. The lovebirds canoodled on a Toronto subway car on Sunday before hitting up Menchies for some frozen yogurt. Finally - some positive press for the TTC!

Welcome to Hollywood Eloise

Putting those Charlie Sheen sperm donor rumors to rest, Denise Richards has adopted a baby girl. Eloise Joni Richards will join the tumultuous family but won't be burdened with those pesky daddy issues her older sisters, Sam and Lola, have.

Eloise was born in the US and was named after Denise's mom (Joni). Sam and Lola chose the name Eloise, for reasons not explained by Denise's publicist. Of note: The ladies were staying in the Plaza Hotel's Eloise Suite last year when their dad Charlie was taken to the hospital for an "allergic reaction." If that doesn't spark your memory, it's also the night he scared a porn star.

Welcome to Hollywood Eloise!

Doggie Style

Leave it to Ashley Olsen to enlarge a fad to the next level. While most people choose to carry their petite dogs around the city, the mini-mogul scooped up her mid-size dog along with her large handbag. Guess she'll have to leave the venti Starbucks for later.

Newsweek: Diana at 50

The world has always been fascinated with the people's princesses, but Newsweek is taking this obsession to a new level. The cover of their latest issue features an image of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, walking alongside her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana.

Princess Diana died nearly 14 years ago. While the fascination with her life and death has only increased since Prince William and Kate's royal wedding, Newsweek showed a blatant lack of class and disrespect by superimposing an aged image of the late Princess Di alongside Kate (note: Princess Diana replaces Pippa from the original picture).

The cover story, titled "Diana at 50: If She Were Here Now," notes that the Princess would be chilling with the Middletons and tweeting from Davos if not for that tragic night. Excuse me? This is the most ridiculous article I have ever read. Arguably, it was written to grab people's attention and put the spotlight back on Newsweek, but it's utter garbage. "There is no doubt she would have kept her chin taut with strategic Botox shots and her bare arms buff from the gym," reads the article.

The cover of Newsweek has already made the rounds in the social media sphere, and I have yet to see one supporter. What do you think: did Newsweek take it too far?

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are gearing up for their first trip to Canada, but they still made time to attend an Irish Guards event on Saturday in Windsor. Prince William, who is the Colonel-in-Chief of the Irish Guards, was accompanied by his stylish bride, Catherine, to the event. The duo are said to have impressed fellow guards with their sweet demeanor. I hope they make a surprise stop in Toronto!

Real or Rumor: Alef Millepied

They haven't released their newborn's name to the public, but rumors are swirling that Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied named their son Alef. The Israeli-born actress is said to have chosen the moniker, which is the first letter of the Hebrew alphabet, for her first child. We'll have to wait and see if the rumors are true, but in the meantime, mazel tov!

I Wanna Go

If you're Britney Spears, you should stay away from all Avril Lavigne comparisons. Pink highlights, military boots and bikini tops? Britney's advisors need to remind her to stick to her pop princess roots and forego the punk references.

Lucky in Love?

A positively smitten Jennifer Aniston cozies up to her new man, Justin Theroux, in NYC. The generally unlucky in love actress hasn't looked this happy since she was Mrs. Pitt. Love looks good on Jen - think it will last? She did steal new beau Justin from his live-in girlfriend of 14 years. Time will tell...

With Kabbalah obsessed parents, it's no surprise that Olivia is still rocking her red string. The eight-month-old joined dad and mom, James van der Beek and Kimberly Brooks, at Pampers 50th birthday celebration in NYC. Dawson as a dad? It's pretty adorable.

The author/actress was sweet enough to give her fans a blast from the past with these awesome pictures. It's time for a Full House reunion, don't you think?

Angelina Jolie is the new face of Louis Vuitton's Core Values campaign. The actress and humanitarian flew to Cambodia for the shoot and posed in her own clothes for famed photographer Annie Leibovitz. Angelina's "Alto" bag looks tres chic in the Amazonian setting.

Individuality

It looks like Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have finally developed their own individual style. The billionaire twins have a penchant for dressing in nearly identical outfits, but their latest attire proves they're no longer two-of-a-kind. Even further proof? Mary-Kate's new peroxide hair.

Elephant Love

Leave it to Nicole Richie to upstage her celebrity guests with an elephant at her wedding. Said to be a good luck charm, Nicole invited the pachyderm but forgot to tell a certain someone about the oversized guest: her husband. "Nicole getting an elephant and not telling me is typical of our relationship," said Joel Madden. "But if there's one time I want her to have the craziest thing she wants, it's the day we marry." How romantic!
