From Barrett Hooper of Now Toronto:
- Canada’s next top ego: Top Model host Jay Manuel has no problem pushing his own brand
“Jay Manuel has become a brand. He refers to the Jay brand several times when we meet for an interview across the street from the CHUM building. ‘One of the things I teach the girls is that there’s Jay the brand and then there’s Jay; you don’t want it to over-inflate who you are.’ Riiiight. “
From Bernadette Morra of the Toronto Star:
- He’s raising eyebrows
“‘In some of my contracts I’m not allowed to go back to my natural [hair] colour,’ Manuel explained. ‘It’s become my calling card.”
From the Toronto Star:
- The model hopefuls
“The 10 aspiring models include a 22-year-old factory worker from Mannheim, Ont. and a 25-year-old travel representative from Toronto.”
