News – Celebrity Events Network

Testimonial, August 2020:

Lilana is the best! I have worked with a ton of talent managers during my comms/PR career and my experience working with Lilana and her terrific client Christine Cushing stands out a lot. Not only was she efficient and professional in all aspects, she also brought a very infectious passion to our project that made it really fun to work on each and every day. I can’t recommend working with Lilana and her impressive roster of clients enough.

Which HGTV Canada host has been on the network longer than any other? Join me in congratulating internationally acclaimed designer Sarah Richardson as she celebrates 20 years of creating, hosting and co-producing amazing shows: design inc, Sarah 101, Sarah’s House, Sarah’s Cottage Rental, Sarah Off the Grid & more not only airing on HGTV Canada but HGTV US and throughout the world!

Look for Tommy Smythe’s IKEA commercial

Keeping up with designer Tommy Smythe, host of Bell Media’s Where To I Do? (in it’s 3rd season) is always fun. A regular on The Marilyn Denis Show, he joined the fabulous talk show host in a commercial spot humorously reminding listeners that it’s time to check out the 2021 IKEA Catalogue. Tommy is also featured in The Marilyn Denis Show segments that highlight sleep and sustainability using IKEA products.

Fun Facts about Shahir Massoud:

Our natural talents begin forming at an early age which peak into our future. So it was with my client Chef Shahir Massoud who appeared on “CBC-TV news” with his brother as a child. Download the link below to see Shahir in action at an early age, filmed by his dad. He obviously loved the spotlight and camera and went on to co-host The Goods talk show on CBC-TV, be a judge on Fridge Wars (CBC) and host his own Gusto TV show Around the World in 8 Meals. He has taken his amazing energy and skills to the classroom teaching a few different Food Media courses at Centennial College virtually (on-screen performance, TV production). Trained in the famed French Culinary Institute in NYC, his first book “Eat Habibi, Eat” (Appetite by Random House) pub date is due in Spring 2021. It’s modern day Middle Eastern with a focusing on revisiting Egyptian dishes that he grew up with. After the success of hosting the Taste Canada Awards in 2018, he has been busy hosting/emceeing events (now virtually), providing incentive and team building initiatives for corporations (virtually), appearing on The Marilyn Denis Show on CTV, fulfilling endorsement activity and most importantly spending time with his wife Mila and 3 year old son Kairo who is now also participating in virtual cooking Facebook Live activity!
