Vanity's Fair on May 12, 2008

Canada's talented children have gone unexploited for far too long, an injustice that Universal Music has finally seen fit to remedy. According to Hollywood Reporter, the label has "joined the search for Canada's version of Miley Cyrus," and, with YTV, has created a new TV talent competition called The Instant Star, designed for children 15 and under. The winner gets a record contract, fame, and, presumably, a shot at pubescence. If the name of the... [continue]

Populist: May 5–11 on May 11, 2008

We publish a lot of articles on Torontoist, and sometimes it's hard to keep up. Populist is a weekly recap, appearing every Sunday night, that features some of the coolest, most interesting, most commented, and most recommended posts from our past week. Marc Lostracco wrote about two vastly different treatments for children struggling with gender identity; said goodbye to Sue Johanson's Talk Sex, the show that made us comfortable with grandmotherly women telling us sexy...

Torontoist is one of fourteen cities in the worldwide Gothamist network. Each Sunday, the editors of every site—from LAist to Londonist—choose their most interesting article, a list which is compiled into the network-wide feature Elsewhere In The Ist-A-Verse. Gothamist watched a series of civil disobedience events, protesting the Sean Bell shooting verdict, unfold across the city—over 200 people, including the Reverend Al Sharpton, were arrested. Somewhat related, on behalf of a black freelance reporter for... [continue]

Little Missed Sunshine on May 9, 2008

On Tuesday night, Craigslist's Missed Connections lurkers converged on the World's Biggest Bookstore at Yonge and Edward for the very first Craigslist Missed Connections Addicts Anonymous meeting. The event, like the corner of the classifieds site it celebrated, was founded on shyness and ambiguity: the store's management, employees, and customers had no idea that they were taking part in an event, leaving actual participants to people-watch with crossed fingers, taking down details for posts...

Photo of Howard Moscoe at March's OCAP protest by Miles Storey. His forty-six friends include Adam Giambrone, Bob Rae, Adam Vaughan, David Miller, John Tory, Dalton McGuinty, and the Ottawa Citizen. His political views are "Left wing and a prayer." He's interested in "Friendship" and "Networking." His lone activity is "sculpting wooden birds." He cleans "council furniture with the Mayor's toupees at the start of council meetings." His favourite TV show is the Glenn... [continue]

Sin City on May 8, 2008

Photos of CablePulse24's broadcast on July 25, 2007, courtesy of Joel Charlebois. Just before noon on July 25, 2007, Joel Charlebois caught a man, he says, breaking into his house. When Charlebois gave chase, the man fell from the second-storey deck, landing hard on the ground below and breaking his leg. As police arrived, Charlebois—an avid photographer who has a Flickr account under the name uwajedi, who is an active member of Torontoist's Flickr... [continue]

You Ain't Got No Alibi on May 4, 2008

Hey Star readers. An article published in the Ideas section of today's paper, titled "Why Toronto's got style," opened with this:Toronto. Style. When describing the greater city's architecture, can the two words be used together? "If you really stop and look, Toronto is butt ugly," says a blogger's entry on a hot, unresolved, topic – does Toronto have its own style of architecture? – at the popular website Torontoist.com. The city, the blogger ruthlessly writes,... [continue]

Introducing Tourist on May 2, 2008

RED SQUARE, MOSCOW PHOTO BY SEVENNINE Summer, we've heard, is supposed to be the time for travelling the world, seeing new sights, accumulating new experiences, and exploring new places. According to the first Google result for "travel quotations" (the extent of our research), Helen Keller said that "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." Too bad some of us—those who will be spending the bulk of this summer in Toronto for work, for... [continue]
