Weekend Word Up!

Weekend Word Up is looking for new writers!







All valid excuses, but I'd like to present you with just a few of the benefits of writing for Weekend Word Up!


1)Fame

You’ll spend your days worshipped by masses of Weekend Word Up readers, and your nights canoodling with your legions of celebrity friends! Isn’t that right, TAYLOR HICKS?



2) Riches

No, not THOSE kinds of riches. We mean the kind of riches you get through the satisfaction of a job well done. Emotional riches, or some bullcrap.

3) A Wealth of Information

You’ll be first in line to give people judgmental looks when they suggest a kitten-drowning jamboree or the opening of an octogenarian swingers club for this week’s Weekend Word Up!

So what are you waiting for? Sign up today!!!

Bikini waxes for kids!



The Toronto Star reported that more and more 9-12 year olds are being pressured by their moms to get bikini waxes. I had no idea that Dina Lohan and Lynne Spears had family in Toronto! Call me crazy, but there is something about pouring hot wax onto an 11-year old and ripping out the hair at the root that just seems…what’s the word? FABULOUS!

To me, waxing is like learning French (ironic, since the French are a notoriously hairy people!) Start early, and soon the kid will be fluent in the language of hair removal! Remember, it’s called kindergarten, not lady garden!

Oh heel, no!



The company that operates Winners and Homesense is adding StyleSense to its roster. Designed for footwear fanatics, StyleSense is a department store specializing in shoes.



Ladies! Get ahold of yourselves!

The first two StyleSense stores will open next Thursday at Vaughn Mills & Oakville Place. The store will be roughly 15, 000 square feet (does that equal roughly 15,000 shoes?) I’m still holding out for the opening of an AdditionElle StyleSense. They don’t make shoes big enough to fit these Clydesdales!

TIFF 08 – Celebrity stalking edition!

Weekend Word up has got the skinny on the places you’re sure to spot the rich and famous during TIFF ’08!



Jennifer Hudson: On Church St, pinned helplessly under a 58-person crush of gay men singing “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going,”



Zac Efron: The Annex, handcuffed to my bed with two broken legs as I nurse him back to health Annie Wilkes–styles whilst forcing him to sign a contract for “High School Musical 4”.



Dakota Fanning: The Dakota Tavern, signing DVD copies of “Uptown Girls” between shots of Jack Daniels



Macaulay Culkin: Los Angeles, fuming over the fact that the publicity team for his new movie completely forgot about him when they departed for Toronto. AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Have a great looo-oooong weekend!
