  • Project Runway Canada: Exit Interview with Genevieve Graham
    “Last night’s episode of Project Runway Canada saw the five remaining designers compete in a challenge to dress Canadian supermodel Coco Rocha for a New York Fashion Week event. Unfortunately, Genevieve Graham’s trademark draping design failed to impress the judges, with Iman telling Graham that she needed to diversify as she left the runway. Sunny Fong was honoured with the prospect of Coco Rocha wearing what the judges called a “cheeky” dress, when he won the second last challenge before the final three are left.” Read more.

The Dealership pilot announces casting

From a media release:

CANWEST’S NEW DRAMA PILOT ‘THE DEALERSHIP’ SIGNS TRICIA HELFER, WILLIAM DEVANE & PATRICK J. ADAMS

Canwest’s Original Canadian Series pilot THE DEALERSHIP has signed on Tricia Helfer and William Devane, along with up and comer Patrick J. Adams to star in the new one-hour pilot about love, larceny and luxury used cars. In addition, Fremantle Media Enterprises (FME), a division of FremantleMedia, has signed on as worldwide distributor of THE DEALERSHIP.

The pilot, which was announced by Canwest in November, will star Helfer (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, BURN NOTICE) in the lead role of Rachel Carson. Rachel is the beautiful, tough as nails sales manager who runs Carson Luxury Auto Gallery, a civic institution started by her irascible father Frank, played by Devane (JESSE STONE, WHAT ABOUT BRIAN). Rachel spent the last decade waiting for her father to retire, cementing her defacto control of the dealership and holding off the banks. Now that the car industry in North America is in the grip of recession, Rachel is fighting to keep the place alive with the help (or in spite of) her unreliable younger brother played by Patrick J. Adams (FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, OLD SCHOOL). When Frank un-retires and tries to help, things go from bad to worse.
