Britney and Mariah
"You never know who you're going to meet at dinner parties!!" Spears writes of running into fellow superstar Mariah Carey. We don't know about you, but we're usually pretty sure it's not going to be Mariah Carey. But who knows? Thanks for helping us to keep reaching for the stars, Brit.

Arcade Fire
The patron saints of Canadian indie lay down some bonus tracks in NYC. What is the nature of these bonus tracks, you ask? They're Spotify-exclusive singles of the title track of their latest #1 hit album, "Everything Now," plus a cover of John Lennon's life-changing 1973 classic, "Mind Games."

Radiohead
In the video for the legendary British band's new single, "Lift," lead singer Thom Yorke gets stuck in an elevator. Because, see, Thom Yorke is British and in Britain they call elevators lifts. They also call new singles "Lift." And they post screen grabs of said videos on Instagram. And this is that.

DJ Khaled
Ok, the hitmaker with an extremely present social media presence shared this pic of himself with an apple at the Apple Store. But if you're a DJ Khaled fan, you saw one apple, you saw the other apple, and you said to yourself, "Another one." Yeah you did.

Drake
We're happy he's looking so fine at TIFF but we can't stop thinking that his gorgeous jacket cost more than our annual rent. Which is to say, nice coat, Drizzy. Good on ya.

Arcane Fire
Why does it say BUTTWORLD? Arcade Fire's tour just started in Quebec City at the Centre Videotron, which is the most Quebecois name possible for a venue. We get that Videotron is a major cable and internet provider in Quebec, but, why did they choose that corny '80s name? And could BUTTWORLD be its nickname? We had to find out.
We researched the history of the company. Videotron was established in 1964, under the name "Telecable Videotron Ltee" as northern Montreal's first cable television network. Their initial subscriber base was 66. Isn't that adorable? Unless you think 66 is unlucky because it's two-thirds of the devil's number. It's just a small number of TV viewers in this case.
Anyway, we can totally understand how "Videotron" would have sounded like a fab name in 1964. What we still have not solved is why the label reads BUTTWORLD. Our original hypothesis was that BUTTWORLD was a portmanteau of the venue's proper name. Say, for example, the venue's name was Mrs. Butterworth's World of Butterflies. It's (admittedly barely) understandable that this name could be shortened to BUTTWORLD, especially given the Frenchness of Quebec. But it wasn't. That's not what happened.
If they were going to make a portmanteau of Centre Videotron, it would probably be Centron, which sounds like the place we'll all be instructed to check into when the spaceships land, as in *extreme robot voice* "Pro-ceed! To! Centron!"
With no data left to support our original hypothesis, we are left to conclude that BUTTWORLD is not Arcade Fire's current location, it's their destination. After all, next stop is Montreal.

Whitehorse

Drake
Guys, he REALLY likes this t-shirt. This is, like, his third post this week where he's wearing it. But don't let that distract you from his RIHANNA SOCKS! Also make a mental note that if you're mixing a drink for Drizzy, dude likes a lot of ice.
