  • Before she was a news anchor in New York City, Robin Scherbatsky was a teen star in her native Canada as Robin Sparkles. It may not be well known that this was a play on the real life Alanis Morissette who had a brief career as a teen pop queen in Canada, before her image and sound were completely overhauled.

    Sparkles had a few minor hits (“Let’s Go to the Mall”) that naturally had a year long mall tour and an artistic turn with “Sandcastles in the Sand”. What was far more humorous was when she teamed with Jessica Glitter (Nicole Scherzinger) on a Canadian children’s program with more sexual inneundos than in a Sex and the City episode. Her singing career ended when she entered her Grunge period and tanked at the 84th Grey Cup. Oh Canada, indeed!
