Toronto native Lucian Matis, 28, landed in second place behind Evan Biddell, a 24-year-old designer from Saskatoon, on the finale of Project Runway Canada last night. Matis, Biddell, and third-placer Marie Genevieve Cyr showed ten-piece collections at Toronto's L'Oréal Fashion Week in October as the final challenge of the reality show. The runway shows were performed in front of an audience and evaluated by the Runway judges: supermodel Iman, Elle Canada Editor Rita Silvan, and Bustle Clothing's Shawn Hewson.

Finally, another excuse to write about La Blogothèque's Take-Away Shows. The last time we covered the France-based music filmmakers, they were psyching us up for the Arcade Fire's May concert with the best concert footage we've ever seen of the band. Before that, they won us over with The Hidden Cameras parading along boardwalks. Now they've given us Owen Pallett plucking away at two songs––"Your Light Is Spent" (above) and "Horsetail Feathers"––in Paris. If you've always wanted to hear "Your Light Is Spent" sung by an out-of-breath Owen running down a Paris street to avoid the noise from traffic, consider your wish fulfilled.

If you were one of the many Arcade Fire fans not lucky enough to grab tickets to one of the band's Massey Hall shows on May 15 and 16, we can but offer two paltry consolation prizes.

Shakespeare in the Rough's production of Antony & Cleopatra (directed by Ruth Madoc-Jones) is taking place in Withrow Park from Saturday August 5 to Labour Day, Monday, September 4. But if you can't wait for your dose of the Bard, you can catch a preview tormorrow and Friday evenings at 7pm.

Tall Poppy Interview - Amanda Walsh, Actor

.' But it would only say that because every bloody review feels compelled to refer to this doc, about grade school dancers of various socio-economic backgrounds, as the next Spellbound. Maybe it is, but TOist thinks the formula Spellbound + ballroom dancing = Mad Hot Ballroom is a bit simplistic. For once, it would be nice if they could just describe the film (Three groups of grade school students vie for a ballroom title, and in the process muse on a variety of subjects).

Between the screaming thirteen year olds and the creepy older men, Torontoist somehow managed to grab a front row ticket to the Live at Much House of Wax "special red carpet edition."

We feel we shouldn't like her but we do. Her show's a guilt-inducing pleasure even when she's not making something brazenly unhealthy. What is it about Nigella? Why does Nigella Bites not reek of poor production values and poorer taste, like so many of the other home-house-help shows out there? Torontoist doesn't presume to have a well broiled answer, but we do think one may be in the air when the Brit bombshell herself signs and reads from her new cookbook, Feast, tonight at Indigo.
