Sad to hear of the untimely death of the Toronto’s Sun’s iron man of editorial art, Andy Donato. The man spent a lifetime drawing cartoons. I met Andy many years before I worked as the Sun’s television columnist from 1999 to 2007. Back when I was a student at the University of Toronto I used
I don’t think CTV News Channel anchor Marcia MacMillan was ready for my assessment of Emmy presenters Woody Harrelson and Matthew McConaughey when we spoke Tuesday morning about the 78th Annual Emmy Awards. Hey, I call them the way I see them, and I can’t wait to see them both when Brothers premieres next Wednesday
We like her. We really like her. That would be Sally Field, who took her Emmy-winning moment Monday night at the 78th Annual Emmy Awards to single out the country where her series was shot. “It’s Canada, blessed Canada, our neighbours, our friends.” Field picked up her fourth career Emmy for her role as lead
The last person I thought I’d run into at a festival of early “talkie” films in upstate New York was George Chuvalo. This was an annual event which ran for 35 years in Syracuse, N.Y., and showcased films – sometimes with live music accompaniment – projected on 16mm film. The guy who founded the festival,
TNA Wrestling stars Santino Marella and Allie were comin’ atcha Friday morning at the Anthem Sports & Entertainment breakfast at the Fairmont Royal York in Toronto.

The biggest shock now about the September 11 attacks is that they happened 25 years ago. When I was barely a teen in 1970, it seemed unfathonable that World War II had ended just 25 years earlier. The world seems to be spinning at such an excellerated pace now, 25 years seem to have flown
Here is an offer you just can’t refuse: hanging out in a Toronto bar styled after the hit streaming series Mobland. The folks at Paramount+ Canada — one of the valued sponsors here at brioux.tv — announced Wednesday that they have brought a taste of the edgy crime series to T.O. It is all timed

Gloria Steinem was always more of a feminist icon than a TV personality. Still, her appearance at a memorable Television Critics Association press tour gathering in July of 2011 packed a Beverly Hilton ballroom. The social movement advocate, who passed away Sept. 2 at 92, was at TCA to promote Gloria: In Her Own Words,
Dolly Parton was such a welcome part of all of our lifetimes, no matter how old or young you are, that the announcement of her passing Tuesday at 80 feels like a death in the family. I will never forget meeting her in person at a well-known Los Angeles restaurant. Yamashiro Hollywood, located in the
Maybe AI can be an instrument of good if only it will become how children are portrayed in the future on TV or in movies. While no official cause has been announced, news Monday of the death of Hayden Panettiere within days of her 37th birthday seems linked to her constant life before cameras. While
Here is the news on Lloyd Robertson — he was a class act all the way. The veteran news anchor had a ring side seat to history, covering everything from Expo ’67 to the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Games.
