In the news: A mellower Elvis Costello talks Spectacle

November 25, 2009 Diane Wild

From Alex Strachan of Canwest:

Elvis Costello has a rep for being a difficult Ã¢â‚¬â€ read: prickly Ã¢â‚¬â€ interview. So why is he so mellow and talkative on the phone, then?
“I guessed – possibly correctly, though you never know with the celebrity/gossip tabloid crowd – that I was the only interviewer that day dumb and/or craven enough to lead off with a question about American Idol. And I knew that, given Costello’s rep for being a difficult interview, I was risking him pulling a Carrie Prejean, who famously – if somewhat incoherently – stormed out on Larry King after being asked one too many questions that she didn’t like. He got it, though, and it was all good from there.” Read more.

From Bill Brioux at TV Feeds My Family:

CBC Puts Cherry on Full Winter Launch
“Cherry said he had a blast working Battle of the Blades last month as a judge, but said one guy associated with that show just isn’t getting enough credit. “I know I’m going back on everything I’ve ever said about the guy, but Ron MacLean held that whole show together,” sez Grapes. MacLean truly was the cool head who kept Blades on ice, so consider that oversight corrected here.” Read more.

Video: Sarah Palin on 22 Minutes

November 25, 2009 Diane Wild

From the Canadian Press:

When Marg Delahunty met Sarah Palin
“Marg Delahunty braved the wilds of the American Midwest to come face-to-face with Sarah Palin. Comedian Mary Walsh’s character button-holed the former Alaska governor at a recent book-signing in Columbus, Ohio, only to be strong-armed away from Palin by security guards. The action was documented on Tuesday’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes, but four days later, Walsh was still marvelling at her encounter.” Read more.
