Kathryn embodies similar characteristics to a fine Pinot Noir: she’s complex, and can only truly reveal herself after spending time with you. The producer for CBC Radio One’s national arts and culture show, Q, has recently dedicated her time to writing her memoir: Corked. Simply put, it’s about a drunken father-daughter road trip around the French countryside; touring vineyards and discovering a stronger bond they have with each other over wine. Clearly, we were desperate to ask this quirky connoisseur about what she’s learned about wine – and hell, while we’re at it – what she’s learned about robots too.

The Hills and The City Season Premieres

Love them. Hate them. They’re famous millionaires either way!

We’re sick of them too. Especially now that we’ve learned Kristin Cavallari is raking in $90,000 per episode. But she’s not even been around very long. Take Lauren Conrad’s $125,000 per episode, or Audrina’s $100,000. Yes. That’s around one million dollars for a season of blank faces. Times it by 6 seasons and that’s one expensive face! The light at the end of the tunnel? Spencer Pratt apparently only makes $65,000/episode. Although that’s already more than just about everyone at 23 years old. C’est la vie! We’ll still be tuning in for The Hills season premiere at 10:00 p.m. tonight and The City at 10:00 p.m. tomorrow night. But will you?

We don’t mean to be preaching the obvious, and we realize that as ponies – obviously we would never dream of eating another animal (we don’t have canines). But vegetarians have more perks than you’d think. Here’s what you didn’t already know, plus some wicked vegetarian spots in Toronto:
