Elisha Cuthbert with Reid and Jenn-O

Thursday, April 25th, 2013 by Reid

elisha-cuthbert-50aFor years I’ve bragged about the star of “Happy Endings”, Elisha Cuthbert, as my “neighbour” from my hometown of Greenfield Park, QC.  Of course, this could never be proved by the women engaged to Leafs captain Dion Phaneuf.  Until now…

Thanks to the power of Twitter, a little luck, and maybe the hometown advantage, she called in Thursday morning and chatted with us for a full hour.  She was absolutely awesome.  Fun.  Candid.  And, just like the girl next door (no, not the one from her movie).

Check it out as we talked about my “stalking”, Twitter, Happy Endings, Dion Phaneuf, and the future.

Serena Ryder won adult alternative album of the year — her fourth career Juno, and Breakthrough Group of the Year went to Monster Truck.

On Monday we spoke with eOne Public Relations, CTV Music Correspondent, Eric Alper (@thatericalper) and got his first-hand experience at the Junos in Regina.
