Vancouver Papers: Deal or No Deal

24hours-dealnodeal.jpg
24 Hours gives the cover to 250 Vancouver women who think a great career choice will be getting on the Canadian version of Deal or No Deal and brushing with the greatness that is Howie Mandel. Meanwhile Darren Parkman's Seeing Stars column gives us the a-list run down on the doings of Corey Feldman (bonus points for the mention of Corey Haim and how they are filming their reality show here for some reason), Loverboy's Mike Reno, and Anne Heche, who enjoyed a night out.

In the Sun, they too devote cover page real estate to the Deal or No Deal model search. In sports Elliot Pap gets clever with a "Grand theft, Canucks" headline before wetting him self in a Luongo tongue kiss: "On a night in which they appeared ready to lose, the surging Vancouver Canucks found another way to win.
The Canucks eclipsed the Dallas Stars 2-1 in a six-round shootout Wednesday as goalie Roberto Luongo earned nearly all his $6.75 million with 44 saves, including five in the shootout."

The Province gives Vancouver an 'F' for not knowing how to throw a party. The editorial on no fun Vancouver this New Years Eve: "When the cameras panned along Robson Street, all viewers saw was a huddled, rather glum-looking crowd at a loss for something to do. Is that really the image we wish to project to the world in advance of the Games?" But worse, is the notion of this, "Surrey put Vancouver to shame, as did Whistler. Both communities put on hugely successful celebrations with alcohol-free entertainment for all ages."
