They’ve one of the most talked about celebrity relationships of recent years, but that hasn’t stopped fans from weeping with joy over Drake’s love declaration for Rihanna at last night’s VMAs.

While presenting the Work singer with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award – aka the MTV VMA Lifetime Achievement Award – Drake dedicated a heartfelt speech to “the most beautiful, talented woman [he has] ever seen in [his] life”.

In a modern fairytale moment – which saw Drake stand in full tux professing his love for a satin gowned Rihanna – the rapper described RiRi as “one of [his] best friends in the world” and “someone [he’s] been in love with since [he] was 22 years old”.  Awhhh!

 

During his speech he spoke candidly about the first time he and the Barbadian beauty met – FYI it was 11 years ago in a restaurant called Avocado – and how despite having now achieved an “untouchable level” of success, Rihanna has remained totally true to herself.

He said:  “Some artists need to play a character to achieve success, some need to downplay their own natural instincts to blend in.  She succeeds by doing something no one in this industry does, which is being herself.”

 

Fans of the pair were quick to announce their own joy at Drake’s revelations, with one Twitter user writing: “Drake’s 29 now, so he’s been in love with Rihanna for 7 years…….I’m not crying….YOU’RE CRYING.”

While another said: “Drake just admitted he’s in love with Rihanna.  AND WE ARE OFFICIALLY WRITING FROM THE GRAVE.”

For all the feels, check out Drake’s speech in full below:

Rihanna is being honoured with the Vanguard award at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

This is obviously a major achievement for Riri, as previous winners of the award are David Bowie, Michael Jackson and The Beatles. 

Someone who is clearly very proud of the singer, is her friend/ potential boyfriend Drake.

To congratulate Rihanna on her major achievement, Drake bought her a billboard… yes a BILLBOARD!

The huge billboard reads "Congratulations to Rihanna from Drake and Everyone at OVO."

Rihanna posted a picture of her gift on Instagram yesterday, to show her appreciation and thanks. 

 

When he extra!!!

Riri captioned the post "when he extra" citing that Drake went out of his way to make her feel extra special. 

The photo has garnered a lot of attention from fans, with thousands commenting. 

One fan wrote "OMG get married already!" while another said "you two are literally couple goals."

These two famous musicians have been linked together for years now, but are yet to come out and admit that they're madly in love. 

We have to say, we would LOVE to see a Drake and Rihanna wedding some day!

Rihanna topped the Billboard Hot 100 for nine consecutive weeks this summer with her single 'Work' that featured her beau Drake. 

However, despite the crazy success of the catchy tune, apparently it almost didn't get recorded!

In an interview with the New York Times, singer and music producer PartyNextDoor, who co-wrote 'Work' said that the song almost got rejected by Riri.

According to PartyNextDoor, Rihanna's “label didn’t care for Caribbean music at the time” and did not want her to record the song.

However the song “was all that Rihanna could sing around the house … she fought for it” and so her label reassessed the situation and agreed to let her record it.

We can all agree that was the best decision ever, with the song sitting pretty at number one for over two months.

Seth Rogen appeared on The Tonight Show on Friday, where he faced off against Jimmy Fallon in one of our favourite lip-sync battles to date. 

Jimmy kicked things off with Kent Jones’ Don’t Mind, followed by Seth's live rendition of The Roots’ very own track Mellow My Man.

Jimmy tried to redeem himself with his second song, Slam by Onyx, but was outdone once again by the Knocked Up star.

Seth, who claimed he was going back to his Canadian roots, closed the performance with an amazing Hotline Bling rendition. 

The 34-year-old ditched his suit jacket, and opted for a Drake-style knitted turtle neck. 

Seth went all out for his performance of the Drake song, and he may have done the rapper’s dance moves better than him!

The vast majority of us have attempted to keep a food diary at one time or another, right?

Whether it was in the aftermath of a two-week sun holiday when you were convinced the plane was tilting on your side or in the run-up to a special occasion, most of us have given it a whirl.

And while there's nothing embarrassing about a list of food – we mean, it's not like we guard our grocery list with our life – it's not exactly something you share with anyone and everyone.

So, we really feel for Jonah Hill who accidentally shared his personal food diary with Drake – a man he had met only once before.

Opening up about the email eff-up while appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Jonah explained that he had been seeing a nutritionist who had advised him to keep track of his daily eats, and send on the deets each day.

"One night I was at home and bored, and was like ‘Oh I didn’t email this guy. I was looking like an hour later through my sent messages. And it must have been ‘D.r.’ because it was doctor, and I had sent it to Drake," he revealed.

And the worst part? Drake didn't even bother responding.

After telling the Hotline Bling singer he had chowed down on yoghurt, salad and chicken that day, Jonah didn't even get a polite 'congrats, man' in reply.

"He didn’t write back, never spoke to him again," Jonah admitted. "Another guy I’ve gotta dump for the rest of my life, a laundry list of people I can never speak to again."

Jeez Drake, manners much?!

Drake and Rihanna are the hottest couple in the music industry right now, despite the lack of confirmation that they are actually a couple. 

Keeping the flame alive, it would seem as though the potential lovebirds are travelling great distances to be together. 

Drake and Rihanna

During Drake's OVO Fest performance in Toronto this weekend, a very special someone came on stage to perform "Too Good" and "Work."

Any guesses? Rihanna of course.

Rihanna and Drake

Riri, 28, flew all the way from Paris to support her man, and headed back to Sweden straight after the surprise performance.

The Diamonds singer spent a total of 16 hours on a plane, racking up 8000 air miles in just one weekend… that's love! 

The musical duo have been in an on-again-off-again relationship for years, and are yet to confirm their couple-status. 

HOWEVER, an insider told TMZ that "He still loves her and never stopped.

"They are having fun spending time with each other. Their music together got them close again."

Singers Drake and Rihanna took a break from touring yesterday to mourn the loss and celebrate the life of a very special fan.

Megan Flores was suffering from terminal cancer when she met the famous pair through the Make-A-Wish Foundation back in March and it seems the Florida native made quite the impression on the performers.

According to E! News, Drake and Rihanna – who are currently touring together on RiRi’s Anti World Tour – learned of Megan’s passing on Saturday and quickly took to social media to acknowledge the powerful impression she had made on them.

Sharing a picture of Megan on Instagram, Drake wrote: “Rest in peace my angel.  I know heaven is celebrating today.”

“Thank you for the moments and emotions we share I am blessed to have known you in this lifetime.”

Earlier this year, the rapper dedicated his latest album Views to Megan.

Above the credits for the album’s opener he said: “This body of work is dedicated to Megan Flores.  I pray for your well-being every day.”

Rihanna also used Instagram to mourn the loss of the fan and reminisce on how Drake had introduced her to Megan after her performance in Miami.

The star wrote: “I had the pleasure of meeting an angel on earth!  After my show in Miami, [Drake] introduced me to Megan!”

“She’s inspired me so much with her strength and her perspective on life!  So fearless and so kind!”

“It’s heavy news that I can’t slide in your DMs anymore like I used to!!  There was always a smile waiting for me there!”

“You brightened any day!  Rest up baby girl!  We will miss you!”

Attached to the message is a picture of Drake, Megan and RiRi smiling happily.

We've seen a lot of incredible make-up transformations lately, but few are quite as mesmerising (or disturbing) as watching a five-year-old boy turn into Drake.

French-born make-up artist Magali Beauvue has been receiving a lot of attention this week after she successfully managed to transform one of her client's sons into the bearded R&B star using a powerful combination of extreme contouring and, well, beard painting.

Last weekend, Magali – who has been based in the Caribbean for the last eight years – posted a video to her Instagram account in which she shows her followers how she made bare-faced schoolboy Dylane look like the star.

Naturally enough the video has gone mega-viral with Dylane even being dubbed 'Lil' Drake'.

Speaking of the clip, Magali told Complex: "Dylane had so much fun doing it… he was looking at himself in the mirror and was saying 'Oh I really look like Drake now'."

"Something about [Drake] makes him seem so friendly despite his notoriety."

"People love him… that's why 'Little Drake' gets so much love."

To most of us, today is simply the start of a new month – Howiya July, looking good! 

However, on this fine Friday, Canadians across the globe celebrate the founding of their lovely country with Canada Day. 

Back in 1867, an act was passed that combined three former British colonies into one nation, and so Canada was born.  

canada

This beautiful country, that shares a border with our American friends, has a lot to be proud of. It has become renowned for it's majestic scenery and the wonderful individuals that populate it. 

With a population of just over 36 million people, it's no wonder that some of our favourite celebs hail from this snowy land. 

canada

And we are here to highlight our favourite Canadians of all time, and thank them for the impact they have had in today's world. 

Drake

Our favourite R&B master, Aubrey Graham, is a Toronto native. Drake frequently refers to 'the six' in his music, which is a slang word for Toronto.

As a platinum award-winning artist, we have no doubt that Canada is proud of this 28-year-old super star.

Ryan Gosling

Ryan, who made us fall in love with him in The Notebook, was born and raised in the Ontario region of Canada. 

No real explanation needed here, THANK YOU Canada, thank you for giving us Ryan Gosling.

Kim Catrall

One of our favourite New Yorkers, Kim was actually raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, where she moved at just three-months-old. 

The actress, who is widely loved for her sassy portrayal of Samantha Jones in Sex and the City, lives in New York full time, but also still owns property in her homeland.

Matthew Perry

Ah, Chandler Bing, the nineties would not have been the same without you! 

Matthew Perry grew up in Ottawa, Ontario with his mother Suzanne, who was press secretary to the Canadian Prime Minister in the 1980s. 

Could he BE any more Canadian?

Justin Bieber

What would a list of awesome Canadians be without the Biebs? Useless, that's what! 

The Sorry singer hails from Ontario, and happens to be close friends with fellow Canadian, Drake.

Justin has French-Canadian roots, and as a result is fluent in the French language. OUI OUI!

We thank you Canada, have a fantastic day of celebrations!

Rihanna fans received a number of surprises at her Manchester gig last night and among them was one of our favourite things – free pizza!

As fans waited in the pouring rain outside the Emirates Old Trafford stadium, 20 mysterious pizza-filled boxes arrived at the scene – some of which were emblazoned with Rihanna's own signature – along with some dry towels for wet fans.

Naturally the receivers of the gifts couldn’t wait to share the news of what’d happened and took to social media to celebrate the experience.

But as great as pizza and towels are, that's not all Rihanna treated fans to last night as the star put on a seriously steamy performance with none other than her ex-boyfriend Drake.

While singing Work as part of Ri-Ri's Anti World Tour, Drake reportedly couldn’t keep his hands off the megastar and even began kissing her neck live on stage.

Once again fans went into total meltdown with one Twitter-user writing: "I can't believe I've just seen two of my faves grinding on each other. Please make babies @rihanna @Drake."

Earlier this week the pair sparked rumours that they were back on as they both waited until the very wee hours of the morning to leave Nicole Scherzinger’s birthday bash at Tape nightclub in London.

And – according to the Daily Mail – back in May it was claimed the pair had been “secretly dating for months” after they put on another suggestive performance at a concert in LA. 

Between pizza and Drake we're excitedly awaiting the Diamonds singer's next move.

It seems that Hailey Baldwin has ditched Justin Beiber once and for all as she was spotted out on a cosy date with Drake last weekend.

TMZ reports that Hailey made her way to Drake's Memorial Day party after spending some time with her BFFs Kylie and Kendall Jenner.

The day after, the pair apparently went out to Hollywood hotspot, The Nice Guy, where they asked for a private table, and insiders say that they were clearly on a date.

At the end of the night, Hailey made her way out the back door and Drake out the front, but they ended up hopping in the same car.

Vehicle sharing or something more? 

Drake seems to be the main man for romance at the moment though, as Khloe Kardashian had a ball with her alleged new beau at his Memorial Day party, too.

When Ellen recently challenged Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Dax Shepherd and Kirstin Bell to a game of Never Have I Ever, we were all over it, but we didn't realise how tame it was until we laid eyes on her latest offering.

Stepping up to the plate this time around is award-winning actor, Jared Leto, and Hotline Bling singer, Drake, who are confronted with a series of questions from Ellen which has these Hollywood heavy-hitters squirming in their chairs.

With one revealing he has hooked up with a fan while on tour to the other admitting he has sent dirty texts to the wrong person, this particular round of the cringe-worthy party game has got to be one of the best yet.

And yes, as you can expect, Jared is the more raunchy of the two.

Check this out, ladies.
