Mitsou (born September 1, 1970 in Loretteville, Quebec) is a Canadian pop singer, businesswoman, television and radio host, and actress. She is credited as Mitsou Gélinas when acting, but records simply as Mitsou (the French spelling of Mitsu, which means honey in Japanese). Mitsou has also acted in a number of Quebec films, most recently in Denys Arcand's Academy Award-winning Les invasions barbares. She was top billed in 1992's Coyote, which was a major release in Quebec (released during her popularity as a singer, she was billed as simply Mitsou for this release). She also wrote the song "Le Toucher" for the film The Bone Collector. In 2000, Mitsou joined C’t’encore drôle, the morning show on Radio Énergie 94.3 FM (now NRJ 94,3) in Montreal. She was an instant hit, as evidenced by the show’s high ratings and enormous popularity with 18- to 34-year-olds who have made it the number one morning show for 10 years straight. By June 15, 2012, Mitsou left the morning show of the station after 12 years. On August 20, 2012, Gélinas revealed that she signed on to join the rival CFGL-FM as the drive home co-host but won't begin her duties until November. Since 2001 she has been the editor of a Quebec magazine for young women, Clin d'oeil. In 2005, she hosted the show Au Courant on CBC Newsworld, an English-language program that focuses on "what's hot and happening in French Canada." In February 2009, it was announced that Mitsou would become the "beauty ambassador" for Lise Watier, a Canadian-based cosmetics and skincare product line, and would subsequently appear in the company's advertising campaigns. In 2009, she also hosted Comment va ta famille?, a documentary series that portrays the state of the family in Quebec in 2008-2009, and television magazine La liste, produced by Marie-France Bazzo for ARTV. She also joined the cast of L’Enfant Prodige, a movie about pianist André Mathieu, in which she played Vivianne Jobin, one of Mathieu's mistresses. In fall 2009, she began serving as a presenter for the TV program Kampaï! À votre santé, a show on healthy cooking and dining, for Radio-Canada.
