I interviewed Sandra Oh last month and as soon as it was over, I told anyone who would listen or read my texts that it was the interview of my career. Sandra inspired my best work – not that it’s all about me, but a good interview requires involvement on both sides. My conversation with Sandra has been turned into a half hour special, ETALK PRESENTS: COMING HOME WITH SANDRA OH, airing tonight on CTV at 7pm. Full Story

It was reported recently that Princess Kate’s nickname for Charlotte is “Lottie”. My first reaction to that was… really? Like the Slick Rick and Doug E Fresh song?
