#SPOTTED: AARON SORKIN IN TORONTO FOR “STEVE JOBS”
Few screenwriters are recognized as well as Aaron Sorkin, hence when we heard he was in town, naturally we became v. excited. If you loved The West Wing (which he created), The Newsroom, The Social Network or A Few Good Men, you already are a fan of Sorkin and you might not even have known it.
Sorkin made the rounds in Toronto today in support of Danny Boyle's Oscar contender, Steve Jobs, which stars Michael Fassbender in the titular role. He appeared on CITY's Breakfast Television (watch ...

There is no new artist I adore more than Jess Glynne. It's undeniable that the landscape of pop music has changed so much over the past few years and while there are many faceless singers featured on tracks by red-hot producers or dance acts, something about the vivacious 25-year-old redhead that is different.
Rather Be by Clean Bandit infiltrated North American airwaves last summer to much success, going-on to win them and Glynne, who provided vocals, a coveted Grammy. It's time for ...
