Tom Green to host Canadian country music awards
The Canadian Country Music Association says the offbeat comedian and actor takes the reins of the CCMA Awards on Sept 13 in Kelowna, B.C.
Green says in a release that country music has always been a big part of his life growing up and that he's looking forward to bringing 'a few surprises' to the gala.
Green presides over the bash while pursuing multiple CanCon projects since returning to Canada after decades spent in Los Angeles.
That includes the upcoming Crave interview series, 'Tom Green's Funny Farm,' in which he hosts a variety of guests at his rural Ontario property.

Fringe Review: Time of My Life finds happiness in the everyday
Time Of My Life 2 Stars out of 5 Stage 7, Yardbird Suite, 11 Tommy Banks Way Antonio Olivito is having a rough time, losing a parent and suffering through a string of unsuccessful relationships. Time Of My Life is his one-man show about growing up as a gay man in an Italian-Canadian family, working his way through bad relationships to find himself and, eventually, discover happiness. Olivito switches back and forth between his more recent relationships and his challenges growing up in the '80s and '90s, weaving together a pattern of failed relationships that lasted anywhere from weeks to years. The theme seems to be 'from pleasant rejection to outright sadness.' Get top headlines and gossip from the world of celebrity and entertainment.

Fear not, as our protagonist isn't left in the lurch at the end, having found some modicum of self-love and understanding. That shouldn't be a spoiler — life's about the journey, not the destination, and obviously if Olivio has managed to pull together a Fringe show, then things can't have fallen apart. Unfortunately for Olivito, his journey rushes forward at about 300 words per minute, a machine-gun delivery breezing through the 60-minute run time in less than 45. He also leans too heavily on pasta and Italian-related puns. 'He stole a pizza my heart,' he quips about a past boyfriend. It's not the only time food puns play into the dialogue, each groaner pulling an equal number of guffaws and head shakes. The show is cute and fun, but ultimately falls flat. There's no big reveal at the end, no 'a-ha' moment to tie it all together. At least there are a few Italian-inspired puns to get us through.
