It takes a lot of training to become the Lone Ranger. Armie Hammer and co-star Ruth Wilson saddle up for cowboy bootcamp to learn how to master the era-appropriate skills of the lasso, pistol and a horse named Leroy in this new featurette for Disney’s The Lone Ranger.
The movie, which opens on July 3rd, sees Lone Ranger Johnny Reid (Hammer) saved from an attack by his soon-to-be sidekick Tonto (Johnny Depp). The pair then become an unlikely unstoppable force of justice, crusading against corruption and greed across the Wild West.

If you ever needed evidence of the diversity in Canadian music – or the fact that the Junos can be a bit of an Oprah “You get a car! You get a car! You get a car!” love-in – you couldn't do better than the Juno Fan Choice category, which bundles together Drake, Carly Rae Jepsen, Metric, Celine Dion, Justin Bieber, Leonard Cohen, Marianas Trench, Michael Buble, Nickelback and Hedley.
But let’s be less cynical and instead appreciate an award show that dares break down to a metaphorical cage match between Leonard Cohen and Rush against Carly Rae and Bieber.
That said, both legendary oldsters got shut out of the album of the year prize, despite Cohen's number one debut for "Old Ideas." Instead, the Junos' top category comes off more like six degrees of "Call Me Maybe" with hat tips for Carly Rae Jepsen's "Kiss," her hit song's co-songwriter Josh Ramsay's emo-rock outfit,...

Toronto -- Indie-rock songstress Leslie Feist took home a Juno for Artist of the Year on Sunday night, and jazz crooner Michael Buble's holiday-themed "Christmas" claimed the prize for Album of the Year at the 41st annual Canadian music awards ceremony.
Feist, best known for her whimsical 2007 song "1234," which became an international hit after it was featured in an iPod nano commercial, might have surprised some with Sunday night's win since her contemplative fourth disc, "Metals," wasn't nominated for Album of the Year.
Feist's big win brought her Juno tally to three for the weekend, and 11 for her career.
"I just need a second," she marveled as she stepped to the microphone, shaking her head from side to side, looking stunned, as well as stunning in a red, lace dress.
"I'm just in shock. ... I guess all I can really do is try to express some genuine gratitude. I can't believe I'm standing here.

Cosmopolis' Sarah Gadon, A Dangerous Method's Viggo Mortensen Monsieur Lazhar Tops Genie Awards David Cronenberg's A Dangerous Method was the runner-up at this year's Canadian Genie Awards, winning five statuettes, mostly in the "technical" categories. As Sigmund Freud, Viggo Mortensen was the Best Supporting Actor winner. "I must thank first and foremost David Cronenberg for taking a chance on me. I don’t think any other director would have thought of me as Sigmund Freud," Mortensen remarked. Though touted as a possible Oscar nominee during this past awards season, Mortensen eventually failed to be shortlisted by the Hollywood Academy. In addition to Mortensen (who'll next be seen in Walter Salles' On the Road), A Dangerous Method stars Michael Fassbender and Keira Knightley, while Sarah Gadon has a featured role in the psychological drama. (Gadon has a key role in Cronenberg's latest as well, Cosmopolis, which quite...

It's been months since Food Network Canada announced it was serving up another helping of "Top Chef Canada," but there were a couple of ingredients missing: its season 1 host, Thea Andrews, and its exact return date.
Like any good dish, the reality competition's sophomore season is coming together nicely, what with new host Lisa Raye filling in Andrews' shoes (who is expecting her second child) and Food Network Canada finally revealing when the hit show is returning to its lineup.
The new season premieres March 12 at 10 p.m. Et/Pt and, according to a network release, it will boast bigger, more intense challenges and surprise twists that the 16 new chefs will have to tackle.
"When a series comes out of the gate an instant hit and top performer, as "Top Chef Canada" has done, the heat is on for the next season to really step it up," says Barb Williams,...

After Canadian indie rockers Arcade Fire stunned with their Album of the Year win for "The Suburbs" at the Grammy Awards last month, it was no surprise when they won a leading four awards Sunday at Canada's equivalent kudos -- the Juno Awards. The Montreal-based band won Best Album, Best Group, Best Alternative Album and Best Songwriting at the 40th annual edition of the awards. Among those Arcade Fire bested for the top prize was Canadian-born Justin Bieber who had to settle for Best Pop Album ("My World 2.0") and the Fan Choice award. To win that, Bieber outpolled Drake, another of the Grammy also-rans for Best New Artist, in the popular vote. Drake also failed to win over the members of the recording academy, losing all five of his competitive races. Both Bieber and Drake as well as Sarah MacLachlan and Johnny Reid lost Best Artist to veteran performer Neil Young...
