TORONTO, March 11, 2025 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — Arts foundation, The Glenn Gould Foundation, has announced that musician Sir Elton John has been named the Laureate of the 15th Glenn Gould Prize. The biennial award recognizes an individual whose lifetime contributions in the arts have enriched the human condition. Sir Elton was selected by an international jury of artists and cultural leaders.
The Glenn Gould Prize, often referred to as the "Nobel Prize of the Arts," includes a CAD$100,000 award for the laureate and a CAD$25,000 Glenn Gould Protégé Prize, granted to a young artist chosen by the winner.
“After spending decades admiring the virtuosity of Glenn Gould’s work, I am awestruck and honoured to receive this award,” said Sir Elton John.
With more than five decades in music, John has sold over 300 million albums, produced more than 50 Top 40 hits, and achieved EGOT status, having received Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards. He is also recognized for his philanthropic efforts, particularly in HIV/AIDS advocacy through the Elton John AIDS Foundation, which has raised over USD$600 million globally.
The 15th Glenn Gould Prize jury was chaired by former Canadian Prime Minister Kim Campbell and included actor Jeremy Irons, screenwriter Lee Hall, BBC Radio 3 Controller Sam Jackson, filmmaker Nyla Innuksuk, and other global arts leaders.

'In selecting our Laureate, Elton John, we chose to honour someone who has great artistic accomplishments but whose life and whose art has been translated into something much greater than just performance or the consumption of music and things they’ve created. Elton John has used his enormous talent and his great success to change lives. He’s been courageous in taking on causes, whether AIDS, LGBTQ+ rights, addiction and all sorts of issues that were not popular when he engaged with them and he was prepared to take the wonderful success that his musical talent had given him to make a difference in the world. And from our perspective that represents the highest level of achievement for an artist and celebrates the memory of Glenn Gould in the best way,' said Kim Campbell, Jury Chair of the 15th Glenn Gould Prize and former Prime Minister of Canada.
A special public event at Kings Place in London announced the prize, which included performances by South African soprano Pumeza Matshikiza and Canadian pianist Ryan Wang. The official award presentation will take place at a gala in Toronto this fall.

BROOKLYN, N.Y., March 4, 2025 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — International SWAN Day 2025 will recognize actress Demi Moore for her recent career resurgence and long-standing contributions to the film industry. The event, held annually on the last Saturday of March, will take place on March 29, 2025.
SWAN Day, which stands for Support Women Artists Now, highlights the work of women across various creative fields. This year’s celebration will feature screenings of Ghost in Manhattan and Metro Chicago in recognition of Moore’s role in the 1990 film.

“Thirty years ago, I had a producer tell me that I was a 'popcorn actress.' And at that time, I made that mean that this wasn't something I was allowed to have. That I could do movies that were successful, that made a lot of money, but that I couldn't be acknowledged, and I bought in and I believed that. And that corroded me over time, to the point where I thought, a few years ago, that maybe this was it... And as I was at kind of a low point, I had this magical, bold, courageous, out-of-the-box, absolutely bonkers script come across my desk called The Substance. And the universe told me that you’re not done,” said Moore in her 2025 Golden Globes acceptance speech.
In addition to her recent success, Moore is being recognized for her more than 45-year career. The planned screenings of Ghost, in which she starred alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Patrick Swayze, will commemorate one of her most well-known roles. The film received two Academy Awards in 1991, including Best Supporting Actress for Goldberg.

Traumatized into silence, Bobby becomes the personal mission of Dr. Sheri Jackson (played by Taylor), the facility’s lead psychiatrist, who strives to break through to him. As Bobby reunites with his family, long-buried secrets resurface, setting off a chain of events that blur the line between love and destruction. The screenplay was written by JE Tyler and Donald Edwards.
"I knew I was in a few pages into the script. I found the journey of this character intriguing, and the arc of the story unexpected and compelling. Can't wait to dive in!" said Tamara Taylor.

NEW YORK, November 22, 2024 (ENTERTAINMENT INTERVIEWS) — Luxury footwear company, Stuart Weitzman, has named actor, producer, and talk show host Mark Consuelos as its first-ever global brand ambassador for the Men’s Collection. Consuelos stars in the brand’s first celebrity-fronted men’s campaign, following the collection’s launch earlier this year.
“I am thrilled to be named Stuart Weitzman’s first-ever Men’s global ambassador. I know the brand because of my wife, who has many blue shoeboxes in her closet. I’m honored to be thought of as the definition of the Stuart Weitzman man. When I told her about the campaign concept of strong, sophisticated and sexy, she encouraged me to go for it — and put all my hours in the gym to good use!” said Consuelos.

“At Stuart Weitzman, everything we do is born from our purpose of inspiring women with confidence, as well as finding meaningful ways to engage her. With our recent launch into Men’s, it was important that we chose a brand ambassador who represents a continuation of our brand’s narrative of celebrating modern womanhood. Mark famously adores and supports Kelly, and we believe there is nothing sexier than that. This campaign shines a spotlight on men just like him,” said Kaisy Mae O’Reilly, SVP and Chief Marketing Officer at Stuart Weitzman.
The collection is is available on stuartweitzman.com and at select retailers, including Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, and The Level Shoes Dubai.
