A BIG CONGRATULATIONS goes out to Hilary S. (Toronto), Erika (Brampton), Cynthia S. (North York) and Shelby M.(Newmarket) who have all been selected along with one of their bestests to party at the eTalk Festival Party featuring performances by P. Diddy and music by SamRo (and special appearance by LiLo).

One of the hottest and most anticipated events for TIFF'08 was the eTalk Festival Party which took place at the Much Music Headquarters. The screaming crowd impatiently waited to catch a glimpse of all the celebrities along with a high-energy performance by Hip Hop mogul Diddy. Diddy hit us with a few old tracks like "Bad Boy for Life" and "I'll Be Missing You" - oh the memories - as well as a few recent favourites such as "Last Night" off of Diddy's Press Play album (Dawn Richard from Danity Kane filled in for Keyshia Cole).

Although Diddy's performance was short, fans in and around the Much Music HQ were not left disappointed as a whole slew of celebrities poured onto the Red Carpet posing for pictures and stopping for short interviewing opportunities. The celebrities in attendance included: Sophia Bush, Kreesha Turner, Sir Richard Branson, Lindsay Lohan, Dan & Dean Caten of DSquared, Jake Gold, Chantal Kreviazuk, Kardinal Offishall, Kelly Carlson and many more.

A Before and After Look:
Before: everyone is all smiles and full of energy

After:

Paul and Peter dashed upstairs to catch a glimpse of Lilo and SamRo action.
Sarah is nowhere to be found.
We misplaced Lisa's date.
The beverages ran out.
Feet start to swell.

HOWEVER...
