At first, the idea of Canadian versions of popular reality shows sounded pretty terrible, but Canuck versions of Project Runway and Top Model have been more entertaining than they had any right to be. Next up is So You Think You Can Dance Canada, premiering September 11 on CTV. Granted, we were initially anxious over Leah Miller as host and the new ads look pretty cheesy, but with Tré Armstrong of How She Move......

Even though back-to-school time is just around the corner and all the newbie university students will be dragging their apprehensive yet utterly relieved parents to IKEA for all their dorm room needs, it's not that group of unsuspecting hipsters who are being targeted by a brand-spanking-new ad campaign; it's their older, more-ready-to-settle-down counterparts, the yupster (think Smart car owner). Starting August 4, this fresh campaign (seemingly) targeting late twenty and early-thirty-somethings will air across......

Stephen Harper's Conservatives are running ads on the radio and at some gas pumps asserting that a proposed Liberal carbon tax is a "trick" and a tax grab. Firing back, Liberal Environment critic David McGuinty said that the Tories are in the pocket of the oil industry. No need to to fight, people; no doubt you're both right. A female gorilla named Ngozi has been shipped from Seattle to Toronto in the hope that......

Ahh, Toronto, do you have the fever? Dance fever, that is. In June, our fair city will not only have auditions for So You Think You Can Dance Canada, but will also host the rehearsals for Toy Story: The Musical. (We suspect some dancing might happen at this shindig too.) It's enough to make a grown man suit up and dance. First up, Leah Miller has been named the host of So You Think......

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......

Last month, ever dedicated Torontoist undertook a special mission to Buffalo with b-girl crew, Shebang!, to preview the touring road show of So You Think You Can Dance before today's Toronto performance at the Hummingbird Centre. Truth be known, we could not get tickets for the Toronto date. That......

Well, that was short-lived. ABC has announced that there will be no more episodes of The One: Making A Music Star. The website states, "There are no plans for additional episodes. Thanks to all who participated in and supported The One!" This doesn't really come as much of a surprise, since the show has been plagued with issues since before it even aired, beginning with CBC viewers causing an uproar over pre-empting The National......
