Elliot Page criticized Canada’s rollback of LGBTQ rights on the stage of the Juno Awards in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Sunday night.
“We are at a time in history where the rights of LGBTQ2+ people are being revoked, restricted and eliminated throughout the world, and the effects are devastating,” Page, a transgender Halifax native, said in a speech presenting twin singer-songwriters Tegan and Sara with the Junos’ humanitarian award. Page praised the work of the Tegan and Sara Foundation for 2Slgbtq+ youth, supporting health care services to youth programs. Earlier in the week, he said at BFI Flare, London’s LGBTQ film festival, that “30% of young people identify as LGBTQ,” referring to a survey released earlier this year about Gen Z adults in the U.S. “So I’m sorry, but this is not niche.”
“If the world was not so hostile to LGBTQ2+ people, we would see ourselves purely as musicians,...

On January 15, 2024, NBC aired Episode 3 of “America’s Got Talent: Fantasy League.” The new spin-off series marks the return of former judge Mel B as she joins Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum and Howie Mandel in a head-to-head competition to mentor an all-star “AGT” act through the season to victory. Terry Crews is back once again for hosting duties.
Over eight weeks of shows, the judges’ Dream Teams of 10 will be narrowed down until only one stands as the newest AGT champion and takes home the $250,000 cash prize. That act will also give their mentor the first coach’s win in AGT history. In the four qualifiers, 10 acts perform with one receiving the week’s Golden Buzzer and five others advancing to the next round based on an audience vote. But who were the best acts from this episode? And did any move forward that shouldn’t have? Below we rank the 10 acts,...

From the outside, Canadian television is having a moment. Over the past 18 months, major streaming services — Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+, Disney+ and Apple TV+ — have established Northern presences via offices, execs or PR teams.
Canadian broadcasters are also stepping up. During upfronts and a series of meetings in Toronto last week, public broadcaster CBC boasted more than 4,000 hours of new programming. Bell Media confirmed an additional 210 hours of English and French-language original content, bolstering its original library to more than 1,000 hours. Corus Entertainment announced 25 new and returning series across its brands.
Even Rogers Sports & Media, which has historically commissioned fewer hours of originals than its competitors, confirmed original programming for the Omni channel and the return of “Canada’s Got Talent” and “Hudson & Rex” while announcing the upcoming “Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent.”
According to Canadian producers however, getting a TV series off the ground in Canada is harder than ever.

Canadian WWE legend Trish Stratus has some advice for the Bella twins after they announced they’d be starting a new chapter in their lives.
Stratus, who recently announced she’d be coming out of retirement for Wrestlemania 39, chats to Et Canada’s Cheryl Hickey about Nikki and Brie leaving WWE and making the decision to go by their real names, Nikki and Brie Garcia.
Stratus says of them departing from the popular wrestling franchise after 15 years of starring in the wrestling ring, “Nikki and Brie are no longer known as the Bella twins, they are the Garcia twins, and it’s really interesting. They made their career as the Bella twins, right?
“They’re opening up their own world.
“It’s really amazing to see, because it’s one thing to make your name in the business, but now they’ve gone on [to do other things].”

Kardinal Offishall still remembers a time when nobody wanted to hire him. And he means nobody.
“Everybody turned me down: Gap, Foot Locker,” the Toronto-born rapper and music executive tells Et Canada. “The only thing I never applied for was McDonald’s, and that’s because there’s no way I was going to work at McDonald’s. But everybody fronted on me, so you know, it was music or bust.”
Thankfully, the music thing turned out alright. Today, Offishall is a Canadian hip hop god, gifting us some of the nation’s most groundbreaking and unimpeachable hits, from the Rascalz’s 1998 classic “Northern Touch” (which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year) to 2008’s “Dangerous” with Akon, which made him the first Canuck rapper to land on the Billboard Top 100 chart.

As we near the conclusion of the first phase of the “America’s Got Talent: All-Stars” competition, there’s one question on our mind: What do the superfans have against singers? Out of the 40 acts to perform in the first round so far, a quarter of them can be considered vocal talents, but only chorale group Detroit Youth Choir has advanced, and that was thanks to a Golden Buzzer from Terry Crews. The nine other singers failed to earn enough votes from the superfans and were eliminated, but why?
Among the singing acts eliminated so far are former Golden Buzzer acts Cristina Rae and Sara James as well as champions of “Canada’s Got Talent” and “Dominica’s Got Talent” Jeanick Fournier and Keren Montero. Both Jeanick and Keren placed within the top three with the superfans on their respective episodes, as did Caly Bevier and Ndlovu Youth Choir. None of...

If the name of our country's latest reality franchise is any indication, "Canada's Got Talent" ("Cgt") has a lot to prove.
Premiering tonight on Citytv, "Cgt" will showcase the talent Canadians have to offer. Recently, during a "Canada's Got Talent" press conference and screening, the producers showered the series with praise and adoration: "Everything about this show is world-class," promises Scott Moore, the head of Rogers Broadcasting.
So does it live up to the hype?
It's Home-Grown
Inevitably, "Canada's Got Talent" is going to be compared to the American version. There are obvious similarities in terms of format, but the panel feels Canada has a greater diversity of abilities to showcase.
"The kind of multicultural act you witness in the very first show, and there are many, many more to come, are not typically the same kind of acts [as the American series]," says executive producer John Brunton. "There are things that happen here in Canada,...

With basketball aerial feats, dog tricks, singers and swordplay, it almost feels like the circus has rolled into town. That's not the case at all, though. This is "Canada's Got Talent," a new reality series premiering on March 4, 2012. Based on "America's Got Talent" (of course), people from all over Canada showcase their unique abilities in front of a live studio audience and either move on to the next round, or get buzzed and booted, until a winner is crowned.

People always think they're too young to have heart attacks, but heart disease doesn't discriminate -- it can strike at any age. Measha Brueggergosman, Canadian soprano and judge on the upcoming TV show Canada's Got Talent, found that out the hard way when, at the age of 31, she underwent emergency surgery after a near death experience due to a dissected aorta in 2009.
A family history of heart disease and diabetes had compelled Brueggergosman to lose 145 pounds and undergo gastric bypass surgery around 2006. Taking up Bikram yoga helped her shed the weight, and though she seemed to be living a healthier life, she was neglecting one thing -- her cholesterol.
"I have a history of heart disease in my family and I can use genetics as an excuse, but the fact is that I simply didn't know what was going on with my blood pressure and cholesterol," Measha told The Huffington Post Canada.
