ABOUT TYLA:

Tyla’s music pushes boundaries, offering an innovative take on pop and R&B that shimmers with the euphoria of amapiano, the music of her native South Africa. Her mega-hit 2023 single, “Water,” catapulted her to global superstardom, earning her the distinction of being the highest-charting African female soloist on the Billboard Hot 100 with the 2x-platinum single, and her first GRAMMY victory, for ‘Best African Music Performance.’ Subsequently, she achieved the same historic chart feat on the Billboard 200 with the release of her self-titled debut studio album, TYLA, which features a plethora of the sounds and styles that make Tyla unique and a wide range of guests, including Tems and Travis Scott. The March 2024 album charted a dominant 12 singles on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Chart, including the chart-topping “Water,” which has earned global diamond honors and is the first-ever Spotify song by an African artist to surpass one billion streams. “Truth Or Dare” and “Art,” soon followed and have both earned global gold certifications and generated hundreds-of-millions of streams. Tyla’s global impact, ever-felt, also continued to resonate thanks to festival performances in Brazil and Korea, and a triumphant two-night run of shows in her native South Africa, a dazzling homecoming for the nation’s homegrown superstar. Following one of the most successful debut campaigns ever, Tyla added to her new heights with the October release of the deluxe edition of her historic debut, TYLA+, featuring the breakout hit, “Push 2 Start,” which garnered Tyla her second Hot 100 entry as a solo artist and a remix featuring legendary reggae artist Sean Paul. She’s graced the covers of prestigious outlets British Vogue, Elle and Cosmopolitan, and generated headlines in fashion with her iconic appearances at The Met Gala two years in a row as well as select International Fashion Week shows. Signed to Epic Records through a joint venture with Johannesburg/New York-based Fax Records, and co-managed by We Make Music and Africa Creative Agency, Tyla is poised to further her international dominance with style, soul, and spirit. Her dream of helping to establish amapiano’s global presence is coming true in real time.

Announced today, a three-level culinary and cultural destination—Convivium Dining Community, will open in the heart of downtown Toronto later this spring. Housed at 83 Yonge Street, this European-inspired concept will offer a thoughtfully curated menu alongside an immersive environment designed for gathering, discovery, and connection.

Designed by Dull Genius Design, Convivium marries historic charm with modern sophistication. Nestled in a heritage building dating back to 1857, the restaurant pays tribute to the Tin & Copper Smith Building, which has stood for over 160 years. Each floor of this historic space will offer a unique experience. The main floor will feature casual yet elegant dining, while the second floor will boast intimate private rooms and a craft cocktail bar. The vibrant third floor will serve as an event and celebration space, accommodating up to 100 guests. Prior to Convivium, the building was the birthplace of The Evening Star—a precursor to the Toronto Star—long serving as a hub for artisans, creators, and journalists. The ambiance at Convivium reflects this rich legacy, seamlessly blending old-world charm with contemporary elegance, making it the perfect destination for everything from casual lunches to intimate dinners.

The name “Convivium,” derived from Latin, refers to a social gathering centered around sharing meals and experiences. True to its name, this new Toronto restaurant and venue will offer a warm, inviting space where guests can escape the bustle of city life, connect with one another, and enjoy a genuine sense of community. Intended to serve as more than a restaurant, Convivium Dining Community will offer the city a new kind of downtown hub for food, culture, and community. The space will regularly host art exhibitions, wine tastings, charity events, and large-scale private events, offering a dynamic calendar of curated cultural programming that reflects Toronto’s diversity and artistic energy.

Maxim Popov, founder of Convivium, explains his vision: “I wanted to create a strong community that brings together hospitality, art, wine education and culture — a place where people can connect not only over great meals, but also through shared passions such as exhibitions, wine masterclasses and performances. A space that inspires.”

Convivium’s kitchen will be run by Executive Chef Oxana Glazkova, who has created a menu that focuses on seasonality at its core. “Every dish is a story waiting to be told,” Chef Glazkova says. The menu will feature Canadian-sourced meats, Atlantic seafood, and house-made balsamic and dressings infused with unique flavors like sea buckthorn and lingonberries. Guests can expect a menu that moves away from simple dishes and embraces complexity and tradition. One of the signature dishes, the Black Angus Tartare, has been reimagined entirely—presented on a confit or terrine of aged, pressed, and deep-fried potato, it will deliver a sublime contrast of crisp and tender. A whisper of chili aioli and a crown of black caviar elevate the dish into a celebration of elegance and depth, with each element thoughtfully placed to create a perfect bite.

Another cornerstone of Convivium’s culinary identity is the menu’s dedication to soups. While often overlooked on Canadian menus, Chef Glazkova sees soups as foundational—an expression of balance, warmth, and culinary memory. The restaurant will feature a rotating selection of 15-17 soups, including chilled varieties for summer, emphasizing a commitment to technique, texture, and storytelling through a bowl. Some are delicate and airy espuma; others, deeply rich with layers of flavor steeped in time-honored tradition.

The restaurant operations will be led by General Manager Gio Stefanopoulos, a seasoned hospitality professional with an impressive track record of opening more than 13 restaurants in Toronto, including Milos, LAB, and Paralia by the Sea. With extensive international experience spanning Australia, Europe, and Canada, Gio has mastered a diverse range of hospitality styles — from the Hard Rock Café to Luxury Waterfront Hotels and bustling Italian establishments. Throughout his career, Gio has collaborated with some of the world’s most celebrated chefs, including Lefteris Lazarou, Giannis Baxevanis, Wolfgang Von Wieser, Gordon Ramsay, and Master Matsuhisa. His leadership at Convivium will focus on delivering personalized service, impeccable hospitality standards, and unforgettable guest experiences at every touchpoint.

The beverage program will feature a carefully curated wine list with organic and biodynamic selections from Europe, Canada and Australia. The cocktail menu will focus on craft drinks created with house infusions, small-batch spirits, and seasonal ingredients—merging old-world European inspiration with modern mixology techniques.

The grand opening date for Convivium Dining Community will be revealed in the coming weeks. To stay informed and get the latest updates, visit www.myconvivium.com (website update to come) and follow @conviviumto on Instagram

Universal Pictures Canada x Mr. Will are thrilled to give Readers a chance to win passes to an Advance Screening of JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH.

Screenings take place as follows on Monday, June 30, 2025:

Toronto: Scotiabank Theatre

Montreal (EN): Cinema Banque Scotia

Vancouver: Scotiabank Theatre

Synopsis:

A new era is born. This summer, three years after the Jurassic World trilogy concluded with each film surpassing $1 billion at the global box office, the enduring Jurassic series evolves in an ingenious new direction with Jurassic World Rebirth.

Anchored by iconic action superstar Scarlett Johansson, Emmy and SAG nominee Jonathan Bailey and two-time Oscar® winner Mahershala Ali, this action-packed new chapter sees an extraction team race to the most dangerous place on Earth, an island research facility for the original Jurassic Park, inhabited by the worst of the worst that were left behind.

Also starring acclaimed international stars Rupert Friend and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, the film is directed by dynamic visualist Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) from a script by original Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp.

Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures across land, sea and air within that tropical biosphere hold, in their DNA, the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind.

Academy Award® nominee Johansson plays skilled covert operations expert Zora Bennett, contracted to lead a skilled team on a top-secret mission to secure the genetic material. When Zora’s operation intersects with a civilian family whose boating expedition was capsized by marauding aquatic dinos, they all find themselves stranded on a forbidden island that had once housed an undisclosed research facility for Jurassic Park. There, in a terrain populated by dinosaurs of vastly different species, they come face-to-face with a sinister, shocking discovery that has been hidden from the world for decades.

Ali is Duncan Kincaid, Zora’s most trusted team member; Critics Choice and Olivier Award winner Jonathan Bailey (Wicked, Bridgerton) plays paleontologist Dr. Henry Loomis; Emmy nominee Rupert Friend (Homeland, Obi-Wan Kenobi) appears as Big Pharma representative Martin Krebs and Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer, Murder on the Orient Express) plays Reuben Delgado, the father of the shipwrecked civilian family.

The cast includes Luna Blaise (Manifest), David Iacono (The Summer I Turned Pretty) and Audrina Miranda (Lopez vs. Lopez) as Reuben’s family. The film also features, as members of Zora and Krebs’ crews, Philippine Velge (Station Eleven), Bechir Sylvain (BMF) and Ed Skrein (Deadpool).

Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by BAFTA winner Edwards from a script by Koepp (War of the Worlds), based on characters created by Michael Crichton. The film is produced by Oscar® nominee Frank Marshall and Patrick Crowley, both longtime Jurassic franchise producers and of last summer’s blockbuster, Twisters. The film is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Denis L. Stewart and Jim Spencer.

Universal Pictures Canada x Mr. Will are thrilled to give Readers a chance to win passes to an Advance Screening of M3GAN 2.0.

Screenings take place as follows on Wednesday, June 25, 2025:

Toronto:
Cineplex Yonge & Dundas at 7pm

Montreal (EN):
Cinema Banque Scotia at 7:30pm

Synopsis:

The murderous doll who captivated pop culture in 2023 is back. And this time she’s not alone.

The original creative team behind that phenomenon—led by horror titans James Wan for Atomic Monster, Jason Blum for Blumhouse and director Gerard Johnstone—reboot an all-new wild chapter in A.I. mayhem with M3GAN 2.0.

Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN’s creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of A.I. Meanwhile, Gemma’s niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma’s overprotective rules.

Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno; Ahsoka, Pacific Rim: Uprising), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. But as Amelia’s self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around.

With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger, and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original A.I bitch is about to meet her match.

Directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Gerard Johnstone, the film co-stars returning cast members Brian Jordan Alvarez and Jen Van Epps as Gemma’s loyal tech teammates, Cole and Tess, and new characters played by Aristotle Athari (Saturday Night Live, Hacks), Timm Sharp (Apples Never Fall, Percy Jackson and the Olympians) and Grammy winner and 11-time Emmy nominee Jemaine Clement (Avatar: The Way of Water, What We Do in the Shadows).

Produced by James Wan, Jason Blum and Allison Williams, the film is executive produced by Gerard Johnstone, Adam Hendricks, Greg Gilreath, Michael Clear, Judson Scott and Mark D. Katchur.

The first M3GAN film shattered box office records, opening to $30.4 million domestically to become the biggest opening weekend for a PG-13 horror film since A Quiet Place Part II. The film went on to gross more than $180 million worldwide.

After a jaw dropping Season 2 finale, the critically acclaimed drama series returns. See Bradley Whitford in action for the first time as he reunites with Allison Janney and joins Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell and the rest of the cast as they navigate the state of the union.

THE DIPLOMAT

ABOUT THE DIPLOMAT S3:
In Season Three of THE DIPLOMAT, Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) lives the particular nightmare that is getting what you want.

None of this slows Hal’s campaign to land Kate the vice presidency. Kate steps into a role she never wanted, with a freedom she never expected, an increasingly complicated friendship with Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and an unnerving bond with First Gentleman Todd Penn (Bradley Whitford).

In two feature films, Celine Song has changed the way we see the world with her daring, complex explorations of love in 2023’s PAST LIVES and now MATERIALISTS, coming out this Friday! Though the Academy Award-winning Screenwriter/Playwright/Director is now based in New York, Toronto (Markham, specifically) actually once was home to her, immigrating here with her family from South Korea.

Song got a big welcome home last night with a special TIFF Screening and Q&A with Cameron Bailey to an enthusiastic crowd at that sold-out affair. She spoke about the granular details of making the Romantic-Dramedy starring Dakota Johnson, Chris Evans, and Pedro Pascal and found it challenging to match her characters’ with their neighbourhoods she initially had written them from with the New York real estate and rental landscape being impacted by gentrification over the past few years.

MATERIALISTS already is seeing rave reviews and we can tell you, it is our favourite film of 2025! Our Review here:

Song was so gracious to stop for a quick snap on her press tour, and was so sweet, taking in our showering of praise. You can genuinely tell when I am truly starstruck by the goofy looks on my face! I couldn’t even focus!

NXNE ’25 has kicked-off in Toronto and new this year is the Billboard Summit, taking place at TIFF Lightbox, celebrating accomplishments of Canadian and global music. Appearing at the all-day affair were the likes of Rezz, Charlotte Cardin, deadmau5, OVO‘s Drex, and the biggest Punjabi music artist in the world, Diljit Dosanjh. The latter chat with Grammys President Panos Panay, who came in for the event, moderating the Q&A before Dosanjh‘s most ardent Canadian fans.

Actor/Singer Dosanjh sold-out Rogers Centre last Summer as part of his Dil-Luminati Tour, proving that demand for global music has never been greater.
