Khloe Kardashian and Scott Disick came to Ottawa in costume for the Faces Magazine Haunted Carnival Event in 2014. The pair also brought Brody Jenner along for the party. 



Rihanna Walked Through the Rideau Centreor so a screaming crowd of people thought when a group of Ottawa Prank-Youtubers strolled through the mall on New Years Eve, pretending to be the international celebrity and her body guards. They later revealed the prank to the growing group of followers and sceptics on social media.
