'Cash Cab' strikes and kills pedestrian in Canada

A "Cash Cab" taxi struck and killed a pedestrian in Vancouver when a technical staff member was driving the replica cab back to the lot after filming on the Canadian version of the game show wrapped for the day.



The staff member crashed into a 61-year-old man crossing the street and the man died in the hospital soon after the accident Friday, police said. The family of the Surrey man has requested that his name not be released.



"Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and his friends and his family," said Andrew Burnstein, president of Castlewood Productions Inc., the production company behind the Canadian version of "Cash Cab."



"My heart also goes out to the driver of the vehicle, a member of our technical staff, who is shaken and devastated by this tragic accident, as is our entire team," he said.



There were no witnesses to the crash and charges had not been filed, according to the Vancouver Sun. The driver remained at the scene of the accident and the replica taxi is being held by investigators.

Kate Middleton mania sweeps Canada as they compare Duchess of Cambridge to Diana

Kate Middleton mania sweeps Canada as they compare Duchess of Cambridge to Diana
STEPPING from her carriage with a gentle smile and a prince by her side, it wasn’t long before the comparisons began.

As half a million overjoyed Canadians gathered yesterday to catch a glimpse of William and his new bride Kate, fan ­Francine Dorion, 50, said: “She reminds me of Diana, she just steals you.”

Another said the visit reminded them of those the late princess made in the 80s and early 90s with Prince Charles and all the pomp and ceremony that went with it. The onlooker added: “We haven’t seen scenes like this since Diana came here.”

And in a touching moment as Kate and Wills left the carriage, a lone voice cried out “Happy birthday, Diana” to mark what would have been her 50th. Kate, 29, simply smiled, realising what the gesture would have meant to her husband.

The 29-year-old prince appeared calm and ­unruffled by the comment.

Kate mania swept Canada as the couple arrived in the capital Ottawa as part of their seven-city tour.

They rode together in a horse-drawn coach for the first time since their wedding.

Duchess of Cambridge takes style tips from the Queen as she recycles favourite Reiss dress for Canada Day celebrations

Kate Middleton, Canada, Duchess of Cambridge, Diana, Reiss dress
It seems the Duchess of Cambridge has a few old favourites among the 30 outfits she has packed for her trip to the U.S. and Canada.

The white Reiss dress she chose for a citizenship ceremony in Ottawa this morning was the same one she wore for her official engagement portrait with Prince William last November.

The 29-year-old paid tribute to the host nation's flag by teaming the £159 frock with red accessories. Her hat by her favourite milliner Sylvia Fletcher at Lock & Co, featured Canada's national symbol, the maple leaf, as did her diamond brooch, which was borrowed from the Queen.

One official said: “We’ve never seen anything like this in the city before. The people of Canada have really taken Kate to their hearts. It’s incredible how excited everyone is getting.”

Kate seemed overwhelmed by the enormous number of people who had turned out to see the royal couple on their first tour.

And she also found the temperatures overpowering – especially when her make-up began to run in the heat. Turning to Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s wife Laureen and pointing at her cheek, she said: “I’m so hot. It’s ­incredible.”

Mr Harper welcomed the couple as the “world’s most famous newlyweds”.

Crowds jostled to get a good view of the royals and chanted “Wills and Kate”.

Vancouver Fans Riot as Canucks Lose Stanley Cup [PHOTOS]

Vancouver Fans Riot as Canucks Lose Stanley Cup [PHOTOS]


Soon after the Vancouver Canucks lost game seven of the Stanley Cup hockey series to the Boston Bruins, rioting broke out. As the violence became more intense, we found numerous pictures on photo-sharing sites such as Twitpic and yfrog.



As you can see in the picture above and in the gallery below, a car was set on fire, a truck was flipped over, and when police entered the area of downtown Vancouver with full riot gear, crazed fans were throwing beer bottles and shoes at their plastic shields, according to CTV News.

Vancouver Canucks Flasher Lost Her Job! (Video)

The Vancouver Canucks flasher showed off her breasts during the Vancouver Canucks-San Jose Sharks NHL Playoff Game on May 18, 2011. Here is the Vancouver Canucks Flasher Photo:

Vancouver Canucks Flasher Lost Her Job!
The Green Men have officially been one-upped, if that's a word. The two men in green body suits have been fixtures at Vancouver Canucks games, mocking opponents as they sit in the penalty box.



But the two green men have been topped by another pair. A female Vancouver Canucks flasher fan flashed her breasts during Game 2 of the NHL Western Conference Final on May 18, 2011.



The Vancouver Canucks flasher decided to show her wares while Sharks forward Ben Eager sat in the penalty box. The female Canucks fan lifted up her Henrik Sedin jersey and showed off her breasts.




CBC cameras captured the Vancouver Canucks flasher in all her glory, making it the most NSFW moment to air on the network since Joey Jeremiah lost his virginity on Degrassi High.



We're not sure if this Vancouver Canucks flasher fan really gets the point. After all, the goal of fans like the Green Men is to torment opposing players.

If anything, taking off your shirt and exposing your breasts is rewarding your opponents.



For those who care, the Canucks went on to beat the Sharks 7-3 to take a 2-0 lead in the NHL Western Conference Finals.

Canucks Flasher Makes It Easier to Cheer for Vancouver

Apparently the young lady was replacing the Green Men (mercifully) and got caught up in the moment.







Here's the video that the CBC inadvertently broadcast. NSFW












Go Canucks Go!..er...

Tommy Ton cria mostra focando no estilo de Anna dello Russo

Que Tommy Ton A-M-AAAAA Anna dello Russo, já é um pouco óbvio. Seu blog de street style, o Jak&Jil, sempre figurava a italiana que comanda a Vogue Nippon. Mas agora o negócio é mais embaixo. Tommy montou uma exposição sobre o estilo de Anna na Hudson Bay em Toronto. Entitulada "When Tommy met Anna",  a exposição mostra mais de 80 fotos clicadas por Tommy com o foco no estilo e no lifestyle de Anna.

Abaixo, algumas das fotos que Tommy tirou de Anna ao longo dos últimos anos:












Apesar de achar a moça um *poquito loca*, tenho olhado com melhores olhos para ela. Talvez a imagem dela em jeans tenha a transformado em um ser mais "humano" pra mim (e essa imagem do cachorro!)...
