wyclef talks presidency

Okay, sort of misleading – not to do with Haiti, but still very interesting – re-watching my interview with Wyclef Jean from 2008 – he has some very poignant things to say.

Lindsey Buckingham Interview

My interview with Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham from a couple of years ago.  We talked new albums, Stevie Nicks‘ feud with Sheryl Crow, etc.   Apologies for the audio quality.

Clash Of The Titans

Here’s a segment I produced for MuchOnDemand. I took MuchMusic VJ Jesse Giddings to Extreme Fitness to get whipped into shape.  Or, at least, that’s the excuse I used to convince people to let me torture him.

Bling for Spring

A segment I produced for Much Music:  Project Runway Canada’s Brandon R. Dwyer hits the streets of Toronto in search of the coolest bling for spring.

TCHAD & ScarJo

Heading off to TCHAD magazine’s winter issue release party tonight.   This edition’s cover features a red-clad Bai Ling wearing a Philip Treacy‘esque headpiece.   And in honour of the new ish, I’m posting a look back at their Spring covergirl – Scarlett Johansson.  In an E! broadcast exclusive, ScarJo tells TCHAD about her love-hate relationship with Hollywood.

My Chat With Wyclef

I was very fortunate to chat with the outspoken hip hop institution known as Wyclef Jean. The Grammy Award winner dreams of a Fugees reunion and can take them to the Promised Land – but first, he says, Lauren Hill has got to get her act together. He’s not backing down about his earlier statement that Lauren is bipolar and says she should be happy someone is telling her the truth and looking out for her best interests.

Wyclef also told me to track down Nelly Furtado and ask her about the “Wyclef Story.” With further prodding, I found out what that meant…Apparently Wyclef was the one who encouraged Nelly to flex her hip hop muscles, advising, “That’s the zone. Stay in the zone.” following her collaboration with Miss Elliott.  I later confirmed this story with Nelly herself.

And speaking of collaborations…There’s another track ‘Clef is itching to scratch – he’s keen on Celine Dion! Sure she might be a bit over the top, but he says when she sings – it’s like an angel on earth. That’s some pretty high praise from a man who’s worked with the best of the best.

I’m looking for the raw interview… I know it’s somewhere. We talked extensively about Haiti and how little has been done in the past to help the struggling country.

Watch the video!

Estelle’s Canadian Boy

Here’s a bit of raw footage from a segment I produced for E! News Weekend, Toronto FC’s Jim Brennan teaches Grammy Award winner Estelle some soccer moves.  In turn,  she takes her song ‘American Boy’ and turns it into ‘Canadian Boy’ for Jim – he attempts, rather unsuccessfully, to provide a beat for her.  Stick to the soccer Jim!
