Love Island watch parties are boosting sports bars – and giving Gen Z a reason to go out
Shouts of amusement and shock, roaring applause and the occasional 'aww' could be heard from inside the Fox & Fiddle pub's location in Toronto's east end. These aren't the sounds of fans watching a Blue Jays game. This is a crowd gathered for the Season 7 finale of the reality dating show Love Island USA. The bar was decked out in pink balloons, plastic tropical flowers and other beach-like decorations evoking the vibe of the famous villa where the islanders lived during the course of the show. Fans at the bar were all rooting for a specific couple to win Love Island USA's US$100,000 cash prize and, of course, true love. During the summer months, professional hockey, basketball and football games that normally pack bars tend to cool down for the off-season. The general manager of Fox & Fiddle's Danforth Avenue location, Nishan Ram, says holding watch parties for Love Island USA boosted revenue for the bar by 28 per cent compared with the week before. It plans to play host to more gatherings for other reality shows, such as The Bachelor and Real Housewives, in the future. Not only are these watch parties good for business – they're also helping to foster community among Gen Z. The cohort born between the mid-1990s and early 2010s has been called the loneliest generation, and in an effort to get away from the screens and back out into the world after COVID lockdowns, turning something seemingly mundane – like watching TV – into an opportunity for face-to-face connection is something many young people value these days. 'For me, it's a social outing during the week that I can tick off that I want to do with my friends,' Jasmine Houston said, snacking on nachos while waiting for the episode to start. 'I'm excited to relate to the reactions from other people because me and my friends don't have the same opinions, so I'm ready to hear my backup cheerleaders supporting me.' Much like a televised professional sports game, these reality shows – especially finale episodes – are too important to miss for fans. 'I think it's a great way to create a community just the same way that sports bars do when they have games on,' says Fi Pasion, who attended the event alone and is visiting from California. 'This is something that girls get to bond over, like I just met these girls,' she says, gesturing to her new friends. This Love Island USA viewing party in Toronto's east end is among many that took place across Canada, including Central Social Hall in Edmonton and Greta Bar in Vancouver. Fox and John, in Toronto's Liberty Village neighbourhood, was one of several bars in the Greater Toronto Area that hosted watch parties for the show. 'For us, it was something we were new to, because we are kind of a sports bar, so when we did take it on, we didn't really expect much,' says Pira Sivanathan, Fox and John's regional manager at the Liberty Village location, which started screening Love Island USA episodes in the middle of the season. The first time the bar hosted a watch party, they filled up 150 seats out of their capacity of 300 seats, and during the finale, Mr. Sivanathan says the venue was 90-per-cent full. 'We've done viewing parties before. It was kind of one and done, but we were able to see that there was more traction and demand for it. Absolutely, we do think it's a good opportunity for us to generate additional revenue.' But nights like these are not just about Love Island USA. For some, this experience is redefining the meaning of a homebody's night out. 'After episodes, we'd call each other and give a quick debrief, and we thought it'd be fun to come to a bar with other people and have live reactions to what's going on in one of our favourite shows,' said Oyinda Oke, who was in attendance at Fox & Fiddle. On the other side of the country, one Vancouver-based content creator plans to open a bar dedicated to nights like this, where people who enjoy pop-culture moments like red carpets, awards shows and reality TV can congregate over shared interests. 'Me and my sister and my friends would watch Taylor Swift's The Era's Tour or reality shows or award shows at home, and I've always thought, 'Why don't we have something where we could go to the bars to watch this like the men with sports bars?'' says 26-year-old Kelsey Exley. Ms. Exley is in the process of finding a location for her new bar, Basic Public House, but, in the meantime, she says she will host pop-up events for the remainder of the summer, including an MTV Video Music Awards watch party.

Disney sues Hong Kong company it says is selling illegal Mickey Mouse jewelry
LOS ANGELES — The Walt Disney Co. on Wednesday sued a Hong Kong jewelry company it accuses of selling illegal Mickey Mouse jewelry. The international media and entertainment conglomerate filed a lawsuit in federal court in Los Angeles against the Red Earth Group, which sells jewelry online under the name Satéur. Disney says the marketing and branding of the rings, necklaces and earrings in Satéur's 'Mickey 1928 Collection' violate its trademark rights and that the Hong Kong company is deliberately trying to fool customers into thinking the pieces are official Disney merchandise. Satéur, the suit alleges, 'intends to present Mickey Mouse as its own brand identifier' for its jewelry merchandise and 'seeks to trade on the recognizability of the Mickey Mouse trademarks and consumers' affinity for Disney and its iconic ambassador Mickey Mouse.' A message seeking comment from representatives of the Red Earth Group was not immediately answered. The lawsuit is indicative of Disney's dogged efforts to protect its intellectual property from unauthorized appropriation. Although the earliest version of Mickey Mouse entered the public domain last year after Disney's copyright expired, the company still holds trademark rights to the character. Lawyers for Disney argue in the suit that Red Earth's online marketing efforts 'extensively trade on the Mickey Mouse trademarks and the Disney brand' with language that includes describing the jewelry as great for 'Disney enthusiasts.' Such tactics indicate Red Earth was 'intentionally trying to confuse consumers,' the lawsuit says. The impression created, it says, 'suggests, at a minimum, a partnership or collaboration with Disney.' The earliest depiction of Mickey Mouse, who first appeared publicly in the film short 'Steamboat Willie' in 1928, are now in the U.S. public domain. The widely publicized moment was considered a landmark in iconography going public. The lawsuit alleges that Red Earth and Satéur are trying to use that status as a 'ruse' to suggest the jewelry is legal, by dubbing it the 'Mickey 1928 Collection' and saying it is being sold in tribute to the mouse's first appearance. Even if a character is in the public domain, it cannot be used on merchandise in a way that suggests it is from the company with the trademark, as Disney alleges Red Earth is doing. 'Disney remains committed to guarding against unlawful trademark infringement and protecting consumers from confusion caused by unauthorized uses of Mickey Mouse and our other iconic characters,' Disney said in a statement Wednesday. The lawsuit seeks an injunction against Red Earth selling the jewelry or trading on Disney's trademark in any other way, along with monetary damages to be determined later.

Justin Bieber is in pursuit of honesty
Justin Bieber has been the subject of gossip since he was 15. But after a series of vulnerable social media posts, altercations with the paparazzi and his clean break from longtime manager Scooter Braun, fans and media alike have been speculating even more on the Canadian pop star's life and mental health. Then this past weekend, Bieber dropped a new album, Swag. The album itself was a surprise — it received almost no advanced publicity — and the music was also surprisingly experimental rather than pop. Plus, the songs on Swag openly react to the public scrutiny the star has faced lately, painting a fuller picture of Bieber's private life. Today on Commotion, host Elamin Abdelmahmoud speaks with music journalists Emilie Hanskamp, Natalie Harmsen and Reanna Cruz to discuss Swag and what Bieber is trying to tell us about himself on it. We've included some highlights below, edited for length and clarity. For the full discussion, listen and follow Commotion with Elamin Abdelmahmoud on your favourite podcast player. WATCH | Today's episode on YouTube: Elamin: Usually, when Justin Bieber's dropping an album, it's an event, you see the videos coming out, there's a whole pre-release thing. The fact that this surprise album came out — it's not like a Beyoncé surprise rollout, where the vinyl was ready, the merch was ready, everything was ready and then it arrived and it's here. He dropped this and then he's posting pictures from vacation and there were maybe a couple of billboards. Talk to me about the rollout of this album, Natalie. How are you feeling about it? Natalie: I was pleasantly surprised by it because it's been four years since Justice. It's been a minute, he's been gone. People have been speculating when he's going to make a comeback. Every year on New Year's Eve, I'm like, "This is going to be the year, guys, for the new Justin Bieber album." I'm not even a big Justin Bieber fan, but it's just been something I feel that's kind of in the cultural zeitgeist, like when is he going to return? So I think the fact that he is someone who has come from this pop machine and has made this really left turn of: "You know what? You're not going to get a lead single from me. I'm not going to be teasing things on TikTok. I'm not going to go the route that I did with Yummy, where I was promoting the hell out of that song and telling my fans to go stream it and begging to get it to number one." So to me, this really signifies that he is putting out an album with songs that he really wants to make. "This is the kind of music that I want to try on and see if it works for me, I don't really care if you like it or not" is the messaging that I'm getting with this rollout, so I think it's just mirroring that narrative that we're getting. Elamin: When I see this rollout, what's clear for me, Emilie, is that it is not a Scooter Braun rollout. So Bieber's been managed the entirety of his career by Scooter Braun, and then last week, he agreed to pay Scooter $31 million to settle [tour disputes], and they have not worked together for some time. And then you see this album rollout and the fact that there's no Scooter on this. How do you see that showing up in this moment that Bieber's in? Emilie: We are hearing some sources coming out who are saying things like, "This is the first album where Scooter Braun is not essentially breathing down Justin's neck." And I think the result of that is an album that you listen through that isn't desperately trying to land on a hit. And I don't say that as a criticism, as someone who maybe hasn't been the biggest fan or connector of Justin Bieber's music in the past. This is the first album where I'm like, "OK, I feel like it's getting closer and on the right path." And I feel it's because he isn't desperately trying to land on that Scooter Braun hit. And I think it's also why you look at the album cover and it's not his face on it, where all of his other [albums] — Journals aside — it's on his face. It's almost like he is trying to position himself out of the frame in a literal sense. Reanna talked about even at production level, it being more in the background versus the foreground, in terms of the album covering his image and how he wants to centre that or not centre that. So I think that we're getting closer and closer to an honest Bieber, or the capital T truth of who Bieber is as an artist. I just don't know that we've landed at the destination yet, but I think he's on the right track. Elamin: The few images that you do see, Reanna, you see Bieber a little bit to the side of the frame, way out of focus. And behind him, you see Haley Bieber holding their kid because he just became a dad last year. And you go like, "That's a pretty Mr. Morale [a Kendrick Lamar album] kind of cover." But there is something to be said about this record attempting to change the narrative of who Justin Bieber is, or maybe reintroduce who he is. How do you see this record maybe successfully doing that? Reanna: It's doing that pretty well, I would say. I feel like the last hits for Justin Bieber to reach public consciousness were Yummy and Holy, and both of those are kind of rote pop hits, they feel disposable. Even Holy is reaching for something grand, but it doesn't really land and doesn't stick the landing. This feels like a push for real artistry. And I agree that it's a step in the right direction for establishing who Justin Bieber is, what he wants to sound like and what he wants to do. And I think this album serves as a piece of content that switches the perspective on everything that's been going on in his life recently. Because on social media, he's been what we call "crashing out," just posting whatever. And you listen to the album, and he's like, "I actually do love my wife, guys. Like, I love my kid. We're going to get through this. I haven't been doing so well, but you know what? I'm OK." And I think music can really serve as a supplemental element to what's going on in somebody's life, obviously. And you listen to Swag and you're like, "Oh, OK, I'm getting the full picture of Justin Bieber, not just what I see on social media."
