Colbert’s truthiness comes out

Stephen Colbert has been called what his mock pundit TV character would deem a traitorous insult: Canadian.

The host of “The Colbert Report” has a Canadian heritage, says the genealogy Web site Ancestry.com.

According to the site, Colbert’s great-great- grandfather and his great-great- grandmother immigrated from Ireland to Canada.

On his Comedy Central show, Colbert’s “U-S-A!”-chanting character has disparaged the Great White North, calling Canadians “syrup-suckers.”

His publicist didn’t respond to requests for comment.

That’s r-e-c-o-n-c-i-l-e-d

Speaking of famous feuds, Candy Spelling says she’s back in touch with daughter Tori and putting reports of their estrangement behind her.

The widow of producer Aaron Spelling says she and Tori have been communicating and she has spent time with her two grandchildren, including a first-time visit with Stella, who turned 1 year old in September.

Speaking of higher ground

Blind pop star Stevie Wonder has been named a United Nations Messenger of Peace to focus on helping people with disabilities.

Wonder, who has won 25 Grammys, was recognized for his philanthropic work with the U.S. President’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities, the Children’s Diabetes Foundation and Junior Blind of America.

He will be the 11th U.N. Messenger of Peace, joining the likes of Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel, actor Michael Douglas, primate expert Jane Goodall and conductor Daniel Barenboim.
