Scoop!

By Sarah Lazarovic

Canadians have long had to subside on a steady diet of imported celebrity tabloids, but Torstar has decided it’s time to change all that, and cash in. The Torstar tabloid, which will hit newstands October 3rd, will be saddled with the unfortunate name Weekly Scoop. But hey, what’s in a name? Look how well the shabbily-titled Life & Style is doing.
Vivian Vassos, formerly managing editor of Flare, will take up the challenge of producing engaging and well-written celebrity gossip as Editor-in-Chief of Weekly Scoop. The path to being Bonnie Fuller just became a little more traveled.
