q's pop culture panel on the VMAs, beauty pageants and Wes Craven
At issue today: What's behind the antics at the VMAs? Is a beauty pageant victory ever a win? What is Wes Craven's legacy?
q's pop culture panel — this week, Nathalie Atkinson of the Globe and the Mail, National Post's Emily Keeler and Esquire columnist Stephen Marche — takes on the worthy, contentious, and crazy stories from the week in arts and entertainment.
At issue today:
- A presidential bid from a high Kanye West. Blatant hostility between Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj. Is it time to stop giving the MTV Music Video Awards the attention so they so clearly crave?
-
The international pageant for married women just crowned a First Nations contestant from Alberta. She's got a platform for her views — but is winning a beauty pageant really a victory?
- Following the death of horror director Wes Craven, we look back at his work and legacy.
