She was the voice of the Sunday Star's Stargazing, where she demonstrated a slick capability for deflating the pomposity of celebrity, plus the sharp sense of the absurd that characterizes the finest Canadian humour.
In her final, unfinished column which appeared in the Star yesterday, we see Arpe at her finest: mocking Harry Styles, making fun of Alce Baldwin and scoffing at Tayler Swift.
In homage to Arpe's great talent, Jenny Villamere presents these celebrity digs in her honor. Get ready to switch gears, turn that frown upside down and enjoy some celebrity skewering that we hope Arpe would have appreciated:
