In the news: Global launch party and Intelligence movie
John Doyle of the Globe and Mail recounts the Global fall launch event, and talks about the Intelligence movie re-airing tonight:

“Global is going to air a series developed from the hit play Da Kink In My Hair, which features a group of women at a hair salon in Toronto, but that’s one little show in an avalanche of U.S. network content.”

Tracey stars as Jimmy Reardon, a third-generation gangster heavily dependent on the drug trade, and Scott is the street smart government operative determined to bring him down (CBC at 8).”

Jacqueline’s hair is lightened, Tia has copper extensions put in, while Mo’s ‘do’ is given some volume and colour. Cori’s hair goes ‘Gisele Bundchen’ and Gina’s girl-next-door blond is cut and changed to a dramatic brown. Sinead gets the most drastic change of all with an ultra-short Natalie Portman cut.
