Series of 10k charity races taking place globally on August 31st, followed by huge post-race concerts

Posted by Paul Little | Thursday, August 28, 2008 @ 5:28am

Normally we don't post press releases here on ShowbizMonkeys.com (we receive so many, this would turn into a freakin' PR website!) but we do occasionally make exceptions -- whether it's something cool or something worthwhile. Well in this case, it's both!

This Sunday, August 31st, Nike is putting on the Nike+ Human Race, a massive global one-day running event. Beginning in Taiwan, a total of 25 races will take place throughout Asia, Europe, South America, and North America, culminating in Los Angeles with a huge post-race musical event headlined by Kanye West. Other concerts will be taking place worldwide featuring a variety of hit artists: superstar Moby appearing in London; Beijing-based singing duo Yu Quan in Shanghai; R&B songstress Kelly Rowland in Paris; All-American Rejects in NYC; hometown favorite Fall Out Boy in Chicago; and many more.

Canadian Idol Season 6: Top 4 Results

Posted by Ariana Heppner | Tuesday, August 26, 2008 @ 11:59pm

Sir Ben of Orange introduces a recap of last night (you can read my much more informative one here, though admittedly mine is without video or audio) before the Group Sing.

The boys sit on stools and trade off lines of “Danny’s Song” (unsurprisingly and for good reason, Theo gets the money line), and then Anne comes out and sings “Daydream Believer.” Anne Murray was in The Monkees?

I’m back! You missed me, all five of you, didn’t you? Don’t answer that. Big ups to Mandi for filling my shoes for the past two weeks. I’m supremely grateful.

It’s Anne Murray time here in Top 4 Land. The lady is a legend! An icon! And whatever other cliché you want to throw in there! It’s for good reason too – she knows exactly what she’s talking about, as we’ll soon see.

Canadian Idol Season 6: Top 5 Results

Posted by Mandi Barnett | Wednesday, August 20, 2008 @ 2:27am

Last night Canada voted more than 3.6 million times. Fancy that.

While Ben is talking to the judges at the beginning of the show, Ben mentions that Zack had nothing negative to say about this week’s performances, and asks him if he’s okay. Zack retorts with a crack about not being a wind-up toy like Ben is. Well played, Mr. Werner.

Canadian Idol Season 6: Top 5 Performances

Posted by Mandi Barnett | Tuesday, August 19, 2008 @ 2:36am

The theme for tonight is twofold: it’s Beatles Night, but it’s also Judges’ Choice. And man oh man, do the two ever work well together. All five guys totally nail the songs chosen for them.

We’ve reached that transition period where an hour is too long to fill with five performances, but not enough time to have each contestant do two songs. So in the first segment of the show, we’re treated to a Beatles montage chronicling their journey to commercial success in North America. And there’s some footage from a trip the Idols made to Camp Oochigeas – a camp that offers year-round programs for children affected by cancer. The kids in the video seem happy to have the Top 5 visit them, and it’s a nice plug for a worthy organization.
