Each week, Torontoist examines the upcoming TV listings and makes note of programs that are entertaining, informative, and of quality. Or, alternately, none of those. The result: Televisualist.

What would Canadian Idol be without the genial, excitable, preternaturally tanned Ben Mulroney as host? Would the CTV karaoke juggernaut be any different with another host, perhaps one wearing a black tee, a nose ring and an equally expensive, but far more tousled, haircut? What if George Stroumboulopoulos was running the show?

Welcome to Torontoist's new weekly Lit. Listings of all things bookish, wordy, and between the covers. We want to highlight the "lit" in Toronto's literary scene: as you, dear reader, may have noticed, a lot of writing about writing is dull, and could be improved with a bit of light.

Carnival enthusiasts unite this evening at Buddies in Bad Times Theatre for The High Fashion Show, touted as a "runway cabaret" with the spirit of an antiquated midway. Part fashion show, part indie rock concert and part charity gala, all proceeds go to Camp Ten Oaks, a one-week summer camp for children with LGBTQ parents.

Hey there George Stroupo... George Stoppogrop... George Stroumboulopoulos (lordy, there's a candidate for taking your partner's name in marriage), in shocking us with your return to the Ceeb, you also proudly imply that you took out your nose ring and forced the damn thing through your... uh... Little George. What, The L.A. producers didn't think you were edgy enough? We here at Torontoist feel that getting your body modification was most likely paid for by the Canadian public by funds shunted though the CBC. You can keep Torontoist's share of the money if you promise to never, ever make that "Imma bad widdle boy" face again.

In a strange turn of events, Canadian media heartthrob, George Stroumboulopoulos confirms that he has signed on to the new ABC reality show, The ONE: Making a Music Star which debuts on July 18th.

It could be one of two things the sound of CBC TV's ratings plummeting or it could be the sound of the the IQs of Canadian TV watchers reaching new lows. The CBC announced its fall lineup and it's a strange mixture of mainstream trends that the CBC resists (more reality tv, quiz shows) and giant national projects meant to unify Canadians in front of their TVs (Hockey: A People's History).

Who’s behind Mayor Miller’s MySpace page? We don't know but he's certainly scooping up friends and he has local bands (and George Stroumboulopoulos) on his Top 8. His profile features a blurb about great cities and a video entitled “Our City. Our Future.” Mayor Miller wants to be your cyberfriend.

The match making business will never be the same after gay marriage is introduced into Canadian culture. When the capital "L" liberals vote to change the definition of marriage from the union of a man and woman to the union of two people, the definition of match making will change with it.

Breaking! Actually, this news is not breaking at all. TOist just wanted to know what it felt like to be Matt Drudge for a minute. And we do believe this item of government-sponsored gossip is hot, perhaps even hott. Why is Kiefer not playing the role of a lifetime, the role of his granddad's lifetime in the biopic of the latter? And who is the respected actor taking his place in the Saskatchewan-shot screen gem? Brent Butt! George Stroumboulopoulos! Good guesses both, but no. Tommy will be played by a theatre actor. You heard it here second. Actually, you heard nothing here second because all we know is that it's not Kiefer. And all he wanted was a chance to play the Greatest Canadian who also happens to be his forefather. Poor guy.
