Local Talent Auditioning in Toronto This Week

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Yesterday we talked to Paige Cipparone, a West Ferris student who is headed to Toronto today to audition for Canada’s Got Talent.  Paige and her uncle, Tim Beckett will perform for judges this afternoon.

We’ve discovered that there’s plenty of local performers in Toronto this week showcasing their talent.  The local contingent includes  Chris Renaud, Nathalie Restoule, Tena Jones and Tom Carriere.  Good luck to all of our locals competing for a spot on the show.

Check out Paige and Tim in this YouTube video.

The Foo Fighters always go above and beyond the music! They posted a very cool video of the band dressed up as truckers to set fans up with concert dates and they recently broke out the trucker costumes again in Kansas City. The Westboro Baptist Church came to picket outside the Foo Fighters show and were treated to a surprise concert.

This man gives a hilarious eyewitness account of an accident.  You have to see it to believe it!

One of my favourite game shows has always been the Family Feud.  John O’Hurley will always be my favourite host from Fued…I miss Peterman!

Steve Harvey is the current host and he’s had a few great moments on the show…like the one I’ve attached!  The guy in the clip says what we were all thinking.

Ben and Jerry’s Gets Schwetty!

Thursday, September 8th, 2011

Ben & Jerry’s is coming out with a new flavour called “Schwetty Balls”.  Some of us will remember the Saturday Night Live skit with Alec Baldwin as Pete Schwetty, the owner of a seasonal confections shop.  The “balls” are made of rum and milk chocolate malt, covered in fudge, and swimming in a pint of Fair Trade vanilla.

Let’s revisit one of the most memorable SNL moments ever!
