In the news: Canadian Idol performances start

With a little hyperbole, CTV recounts last night’s Canadian Idol:

Tina Comeau of the The Yarmouth Vanguard writes about a hometown contender:

  • Votes pour in Monday night for Dwight d’Eon on Canadian Idol
    “Monday night was the night West Pubnico’s Dwight d’Eon performed with the Top 11 male performers on Canadian Idol. It was also the first chance fans got to vote for d’Eon to keep him in the competition and move him towards the Top 10.”

In the news: Instant Star starts season three

Marise Strauss of Playback talks about changings behind the scenes and to the schedule of Instant Star:

  • CTV plays catchup with Star
    “The third season of homegrown teen drama Instant Star returns to the CTV primetime schedule Tuesday at 9:30 p.m. ET with the first of 13 new episodes, just one week after wrapping its second season on June 19. The Epitome Pictures show was bounced around the CTV schedule and aired only half of its second season last summer, before returning with the remaining six last month. Star will move to its regular Sunday 7:30 p.m. timeslot beginning July 8.”

Canada's Next Top Model

In the news: Jay Manuel of Canada’s Next Top Model

Sarah Hampson of the Globe and Mail paints a slightly ridiculous portrait of the man self-described as the “Director of the Esthetic”:

  • When a man becomes a brand
    “Tyranny of the Esthetic would be a better name for his work. Mr. Manuel is symptomatic of the cultural preoccupation with surface. He is prickly about which physical attributes are real and which are not, perhaps because so much is enhanced or fake.”
