Kristen Wigg is dating Scott Speedman

Kristen Wiig is rumored to be dating Scott Speedman.

The ‘Bridesmaids’ star, who split from The Strokes rocker Fabrizio Moretti last year after 18-months together, and the former ‘Felicity’ actor have reportedly been ”hooking up lately.”

The 41-year-old actress was spotted holding hands with the 39-year-old actor at an after-party for the comedy ‘St Vincent’ at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month.

A source told InTouch Weekly magazine: ”They spent the entire night laughing and talking.

”She’s totally into Scott!”

The duo also left the event together, but another source told E! News they are just friends.

The insider insisted: ”[They] have been friends for a long time.”

‘October Gale’ hunk Scott previously dated his ‘The Last Resort’ co-star Camille De Pazzis, but split from her earlier this year.

He was also linked to his former co-star Keri Russell in the past.

‘Saturday Night Live’ star Kristen, who was previously married to actor Hayes Hargrove between 2005 and 2009, sparked rumors she had reunited with Fabrizio last November when they were spotted cozying up to one another at a New York Knicks basketball game, after splitting in July 2013.

She previously gushed about the musician in 2012, saying he had brightened up her life.

She said at the time: ”I will say that I’m happier than I’ve ever been, and I feel very lucky.”

Pressed about the source of happiness, Kristen added: ‘Where I am now. Who he is. Those are the two big ones.”

The Toronto International Film Festival proudly announces a large number of films by acclaimed Canadian filmmakers at this year’s festival. Not to mention on-screen performances by some of the most recognizable Canadian performers in the business.

Steve Gravestock is a TIFF programmer. He talked about the depth of Canadian content at the 2010 festival. "It’s a testament to the creative minds and incredible talent in this country that we have such a diverse and exciting offering of Canadian films across all programmes in this year’s Festival," he commented. "It’s an exciting time for Canadian cinema and we’re proud to bring audiences this line-up of films."

There are 300 films in this year’s festival line-up. A few to note include: the world premiere of Trigger by Bruce McDonald. "Molly Parker and the late Tracy Wright form a highly dysfunctional yet endearing rock duo reuniting a decade after their band called it quits… features Sarah Polley, Don McKellar and Callum Keith Rennie."

Another film to watch for is the English Canadian premiere of Les Amours imaginaires (Heartbeats). "Wunderkind filmmaker Xavier Dolan returns with his second feature – a sophisticated comedy about close friends."

Colin Farrell’s Outburst on the Red Carpet

The star of the new thriller was presenting his film at the Toronto International Film Festival when the incident occurred.

The actor was accompanied by his sister Claudine, when a cameraman shouted at her, telling her to move away while he took a snapshot of her movie star brother.

Farrell did not appreciate the request, and confronted the paparazzo face-to-face. An eyewitness revealed, "He took it personal. He said, ‘Do not shout at my sister like that, do not ever speak to my sister like that ever’."

The heated moment was short-lived, and the actor continued on his way inside the theatre where his film was to be shown.

Ironically, the film Triage is about the psychological effects of the war waged by photo journalists.
