to move up and down
Alexis Normand was given a second chance at the Memorial Cup on Tuesday night. You might remember her …troubled …rendition of the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ at the tournament on Saturday night. The video went viral and she was an overnight celebrity of sorts.
On Tuesday, she got a do-over — but she only performed the Canadian anthem. She told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix she is not sure if she could perform the U.S. anthem again in an arena setting.
“I’d have to think about. I know I can do it, but it would be kind of a head game.”
Ah yes, famous people come out in droves for playoff games — especially since ticket prices are off the wall. Last night’s example: Glee stars Lea Michele and Cory Monteith (who is Canadian) took in the Canucks vs. Sharks game in Vancouver. ARE THEY BAD LUCK? (Photo: Darryl Dyck/The Canadian Press)
Korean pop star PSY was at Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night so it was fitting that countryman Hyun-Jin Ryu found his own rhythm early.
Ryu had a career-best 12 strikeouts in six innings and Hanley Ramirez homered in his first start of the season, leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 6-2 win over the Colorado Rockies on Tuesday night.

Bruce Arthur: The first thing Beyonce did when she strode out onto the stage 23 minutes late in an open-backed cream-coloured hip-hugging dress was sing The Star-Spangled Banner in front of a giant screen projecting the American flag, and the song was a great and soaring thing. And at the end of it she smiled and some of the people in the big room applauded, and she said, “any questions?” And people had some questions, which were apparently helpfully pre-approved by the NFL.
Beyonce is performing at the Super Bowl halftime show Sunday, and the questioners selected were from entertainment shows. “Hey, Beyonce, how are you, you look beautiful by the way,” began one lady from Entertainment Tonight, before prefacing her question with “do you feel any pressure, though you shouldn’t, after that wonderful performance you gave us …”
But they went for the metaphorical jugular — or the esophagus? — right away, asking Beyonce about her much-discussed lip-syncing at the Presidential Inauguration earlier this month.
“Well, I am a perfectionist,” said Beyonce, who in fairness did look rather perfect with her hair just so, “and, one thing about me, I practice until my feet bleed. I did not have time to rehearse with the orchestra.
