| CARLOS OSORIO/TORONTO STAR Gary Morrisette is but one of many guys with guitars on this season's Canadian Idol. |
Canadian Idol begins live performances I thought it was pretty good, all things considered. I liked the guy with the guitar. And then there was the tall guy with the guitar. And the shorter guy with the guitar. And the guy who looked like a vegetarian. And that guy who played the guitar. I also think the guy with the guitar was okay. But, to quote Susie Diamond in the Fabulous Baker Boys: "I mean, does anybody really need to hear 'Feelings' again in their lifetime? It's like parsley, okay? Take it away, nobody's going to know the difference." More here.
Amy Winehouse now not suffering from emphysema Despite previous claims by her father that the crackelicious singer had contracted the condition, her rep now says, no, not so much. In case you're keeping track, this is the 154th "Amy Winehouse has TB/no, she doesn't/yes, she does/no, it's something else/now she has gout/no way" statement in the last week. I give up. People does not.
Don Imus returns to unpleasant form, tries to explain himself The broadcaster goes back to his old foot-in-mouth ways, making a racist remark on air. This morning he claims he was making "a sarcastic point." Read the whole sorry story here.
Vicious rumours stink Reports had it that Zac Efron has a bit of a hygiene aversion and doesn't shower on a regular basis. Disney-assigned girlfriend true love Vanessa Hudgens says that "Whoever came up with that is completely idiotic." That's a relief. Us Magazine.
Women saying kinda hot, kinda silly things through a poster Yes, really. Hard to explain, so just put your head phones on and mouse over the four Spirit posters to listen to Scarlett Johansson, Sarah Paulson, Jaime King and Eva Mendes. Right here. You know you want to.
I wouldn't say I'm an expert or anything, but I think that Amy Winehouse has some problems.
Call it a hunch.

Canadian Idol, eh? The Alpha Female and myself enjoyed Amurrican Idol so much, we thought we’d try the Canadian version. Hmmm.... interesting. It lives up to the formula that take something American; divide by 10 and that is the Canadian version. Ben Mulroney: 1/10 of Ryan Seacrest. The “bad” judge: 1/10 as evil as Simon Cowell. The set: looks like it cost 1/10 of the American version (plus seems to be broadcast from a storage locker. Studio audience: 72 (24 contestants X 3 friends/family each) is about 1/10 of the American studio audience (for the Kodak theatre anyway..). The talent would have done any Holiday Inn proud. Unfortunately, Alpha Female forced us to watch John and Kate plus 8 after one of the guys with the guitar. And hey... why do we need four judges anyway?

I'm really looking forward to The Spirit, but I can't help but think that Frank Miller is going to screw it up. Why can't they get Toronto's own Darwyn Cooke involved?

Scarlett Johansson said, "On Your Knees Then..." and I tripped over 12 guys who were in front of me -- starring at her poster.
