In the wake of TIFF celebritymania, it's hard to imagine any Torontonian giving a Big Name the cold shoulder. But The New York Daily News reports that chef Guy Rubino of Rain threatened to kick Nelly Furtado and her entourage out of the elite pan-Asian fusion restaurant after her manager got uppity in the kitchen. "She made a reservation for ten guests," explained Rubino at the Bon Appétit magazine awards dinner on Monday. "She......

Thanks to AEG Live, the same great people who gave us Justin Timberlake tickets to give away in April, we have yet another American cultural phenomenon looking to invade Canada: So You Think You Can Dance. So You Think You Can Dance comes to the Air Canada Centre on Thursday, November 1, 2007, at 8:00 p.m., and will feature the top 10 finalists from this season (which means, unfortunately, that it will not include the......

One week and one-hundred-and-sixty-seven entries later, our Justin Timberlake contest has mercifully ended. Congratulations to our winners, Michelle Hollywell and Sonya Barnett! They'll each get a pair of tickets to Timberlake's August 20 concert at the ACC. In addition to providing a name and e-mail address, we asked submitters to rename Timberlake's "Dick in a Box" SNL skit to any combination of Body Part (in a) Noun. While we got a lot of great......

Like the rest of country, we were floored by the news of so many dead coming out of Virginia Tech, and with so many of the victims and their relatives from the D.C. area, we felt it important to pay tribute......

Another busy week in the city. Ridiculously busy. Once again, there's something decent to check out every night. We'll be hitting The Decemberists, Imogen Heap, Shout Out Out Out Out (out out out), and possibly a few more. Perhaps even Skid Row (minus Bach). What?! As if you don't miss those power ballads of the 80s! Oh, and it looks like Justin Timberlake is bringing 'sexy back' to Toronto in January. The price? Up......
