Comments Off on Lauren on the Future of Paige
In a new interview with CTV about Degrassi Goes Hollywood, Lauren Collins talked about her future on Degrassi. She says that she will not appear in the 9th season and she doesn’t see herself going back to Degrassi:
“I don’t see myself going back to Degrassi although if they ask me, you never know but I think (Paige’s) time there is really done and I think she’s stuck in L.A. so we’ll see where that goes … It’s weird. This was the first year that summer rolled around and I wasn’t going back to the studio.”
Good luck to Lauren in the future! We know that her time on Degrassi will only be the start of her career.

Comments Off on Drake’s New Music Video
Drake’s music video for “The Best I Ever Had” has been released! You can watch it right here on Youtube. The video was directed by Kanye West.
Drake also spoke to Complex Blog recently and talked about how he is proud of his Degrassi past. He told the blog: “There are artists that I feel could be doing a lot better for themselves that go on there and kill their own careers by just talking too much, and I think that they took that personally and now all they do is air Degrassi clips of me and potential things that could embarrass me. But with me, man…the great thing about me being me in this game is that I’ve been so honest up until this point, I really have nothing to hide, I don’t fear any clip, you know? It’s out there already, everyone knows that’s my story. At the end of the day, it’s part of me, it’s my stepping stone. I’m proud of every moment thus far.”
