Macy Gray
Musician Macy Gray is one of the main stars in TIFF 2012-debuting film The Paperboy — a movie that’s getting a lot of attention in part because it features Nicole Kidman peeing on Zac Efron. (Good for them?)
When Sarah spoke to Gray for Huffington Post Music Canada they talked about that luridness as well as deeper stuff, including the improved roles in major films for black characters.

Ice-T & Snoop Lion
Ice-T was in Toronto recently for TIFF 2012 to promote his film Iceberg Slim: Portrait Of A Pimp. The film features numerous contributions from rappers talking about the original pimp-poet, including a pre-Rasta conversion Snoop Dogg.
Sarah interviewed Ice-T about the film, and when she had some down time she also asked him about Snoop Lion and Snoop’s other TIFF film, Reincarnated.
Ice doesn’t think “Snoop Lion” is going to last.

Snoop Lion
The director of the film Reincarnated says Snoop Doggs conversion to reggae rastafarian Snoop Lion is the real deal.
Snoop recently had a chance to explain his new worldview himself at a Reincarnated press conference during the TIFF 2012.
