News for Thursday: Stalkers, Stealers, and -Dance- Poles

April 30th, 2009

* Place your bets, it’s Ontario versus TicketsNow! Thank you, fair province, for stepping up to bat on this one. * America’s Next Top Model host Tyra Banks stalker has been convicted of, uh, stalking. Sounds a little judgemental for the creator of True Beauty to press charges because this guy outwardly appears to be [...]

Snape Kills Dumbledore! I mean…

April 30th, 2009

Listen up! I can’t believe we haven’t talked about this before now. Those big geeks (like me) out there should already know that the new Harry Potter movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince is coming out in practically a month and a half. That’s like 6 weeks, or 45 days, or 1080 hours… [...]

I don’t know if you’ve been paying close attention to the previews for the new Matthew McConaughey movie Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, but just in case you were wondering – why, yes! That IS former VJ Amanda Walsh playing a bridesmaid/supporting role. After leaving MuchMusic in 2004, Amanda moved to LA and has taken roles [...]

O.O? (this is the internet, you can say that here)

April 30th, 2009

You might have seen some reports that rapper Eminem has a trailer out for his new music video to “3 AM” (which is promoting upcoming album Relapse). I am still not sure how you can make a trailer for a 5-minute music video. But anyway. In the words of so many before me, this thing [...]

Adele @ Massey Hall

April 30th, 2009

[MuchMore's Daily Fix blogger Pop Killah checked out Adele last night, and he's still crying tears of joy..] By Pop-Killah I start this review with a sigh. Her preshow music was “Single Ladies”, which once again reinforces that Beyonce is Queen of the world… but as soon as Adele walked on the stage the night [...]

People’s Most Bootiful

April 30th, 2009

When I was growing up, my mom used to buy me the People’s Most Beautiful People issue every year. I think it was some sort of subliminal message to me, a lesson in pretty, because I was more akin to Little Miss Sunshine on too much cake than young Julia Roberts. Just kidding. It was [...]

News for Wednesday: Evasive Actresses and Impending Apocalypse!

April 29th, 2009

* So sorry Jessica Alba, not even being the Invisible Woman can get you out of trouble with the law. That’s what you get for driving the wrong way down the road. Nice try, though. * Not cool: Chris Brown’s lawyer trying to get his case dismissed. If nothing else, at least Rihanna got her [...]

The Sounds @ Mod Club

April 29th, 2009

If you don’t know The Sounds by now, I get the feeling you will before 2009 is through. The Swedish band, whose third album Crossing the Rubicon drops June 2nd, will spend the summer on tour with No Doubt. If the crowd response at last night’s sold-out Mod Club was any indication, The Sounds brash, [...]

Liszto-Bratpack-Mania

April 29th, 2009

“Lisztomania” by Phoenix is one of those songs that you quickly assume is laced with some sort of addictive substance. Chocolate, maybe peanut M&Ms, maybe AN ILLEGAL DRUG. At first you’re like, “I’m just gonna listen to this song once.” Then, “oh, just one more time.” And before you know it, you’ve listened to it [...]
