Well, if there's anyone who can pull off a miracle it's Deanna Stellato. But what a total bummer. :(

Ah, that makes sense. I mean it doesn't but it does. ;)

I'm curious as to what the clearance wording is like - I'm wondering whether there's a specific clause that states "including the 2026 Winter Olympic Games"? Because if there's some kind of loophole, I imagine that many rights holders will take advantage.

100% this. I don't think people realize how little money small label/indie musicians make these days and how often people ask them to do something for free for "exposure."

From my Facebook feed, it appears that several of my friends and acquaintances have had lovely interactions with Catherine O'Hara over the years. This one is hard.😥

I'm not going to comment on this thread again until I finish reading the book (which I'm very much enjoying) but yes to all of the above.

That interview made me howl.:D

The Ottawa Senators have been getting a lot of grief for signing the homophobic James Reimer earlier this month.

Skate Canada posted on Insta today about the Heated Rivalry stars’ torch run and Tessa Virtue’s fandom.

One of the other things that make me happy about Heated Rivalry is the fact that it's getting massively pirated in Russia.
