• Jennifer Aniston (Management) couldn't manage her feelings towards Brad Pitt (Burn After Reading). She canceled reservations in one hotel she considered too close to him and relocated to premises further away. Aniston's privacy was also protected by her main PR man Stephen Huvane, who spread his jacket in front of her to block any underwear shots during her limo exit.

• The premiere of Burn After Reading turned the normally cool Toronto crowd into a blazing mob of young girls hot for Pitt, who signed autographs on any material offered. The Bradulation overwhelmed costar Tilda Swinton, who felt compelled to apologize to the crowd: "I'm sorry I'm not Brad!"

• MIA from the Burn After Reading screamathon was Pitt BFF George Clooney, in Milan filming a Japanese commerical for Honda.

• Kevin Smith figures there's one thing wrong with bringing a movie to the Toronto Film Fest: The audiences are way too polite.

"In Toronto, nobody turns their nose up at almost anything," said Smith, in town to hype his latest comedy, Zack and Miri Make a Porno, starring Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks.

"If you tank in Toronto, then something's seriously wrong with that movie."

• Brad Pitt's promotion of his latest film, the Coen brothers' Burn After Reading, brings him in town for one overlapping day with his ex-missus, Jennifer Aniston, whose Management is also in the festival. Sources tell E! News their respective handlers worked overtime to find luxury hotels at opposite ends of the city, but the former pair checked into accommodations within walking distance of each other. Avoiding each other will apparently take management by both sides.

Despite this, a survey found 51 percent of Canadians want to see Brad and Jen together again.

Who says couples have to do everything together? (Besides tabloids and other judgmental types?)

Jennifer Aniston and John Mayer may not have been photographed together since July 27, but each is still looking perfectly happy. Whatever it is causing their fresh, healthy glow, be it thoughts of a significant other waiting for him/her on the other side of the border or relief to be spending a few days as a single entity—it's working.

On a break from touring, Mayer flew down to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Aug. 3 to unwind and has barely worn a stitch of clothing since. The singer, either lounging in a hot tub or wrapped in a towel, has been kicking back with friends, smoking cigars and otherwise living the (Your Body Is a) Wonderland life.

And while his actress gal-pal was dutifully present for concerts in London and various U.S. locales, Aniston has opted to stay put in L.A. and do her own thing for the time being.
