Actress, Model and Newlywed Riley Keough is prepared to make an impact with her debut starring role in THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE. The new 13-episode Series produced by Steven Soderbergh is based on the 2009 Film of the same name.

Keough has been in Toronto the past few weeks with her Husband, Stunt Professional Ben Smith-Petersen (seen above), whom she married just weeks before production began.  Their adorable French Bulldog, Grubs, happens to have his own Instagram account and has been giving Mommy tons of emotional support we see!

As per Variety Magazine, THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE will delve into the world of high-end Escorts who provide not only sex but also companionship experiences for their clients. The half-hour Series will revolve around a Woman working as a “GFE,” as these services as known, as she encounters different clients and experiences.

If Keough‘s face looks strangely familiar, you definitely have seen before her iconic features.   She is the eldest Granddaughter or Rock’n’Roll Legend Elvis and Priscilla Presley and also the Daughter of Rock Star Lisa-Marie Presley and Musician Danny Keough.  That aside, you’ve seen her grace the pages of Vogue, plus roles in high-profile Films like The Runaways, Magic Mike and you next can see her in Mad Max: Fury Road alongside Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron.

The Extreme Cold Alert might have returned after a day or two of Spring-line weather, but Keough was all warmth, kindly stopping after wrapping filming in the West End of the City today. Like many other Stars who film here, she has adopted the  popular uniform of a Canada Goose Parka to endure these unforgiving temperatures.

English Actor, Musician, Writer, Director, Animal Rights Activist and overall amazing person Ricky Gervais has landed! Although he was in town recently location scouting for new Film SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS, the Funnyman is back for a quick visit to prepare for production on the Film.  The Wartime Satire is an Adaptation of the French Film of the same name.

Many of us know him for his work on the British version of The Office, a string of successful Films in North America including Muppets Most Wanted and acclaimed Netflix Series Derek, but the three-time Golden Globes Host is tirelessly  raising awareness via Social Media for ethical treatment of Animals and in 2013 was named PETA‘s Person of the Year.

Gervais arrived from England in Toronto tonight with his longtime Partner, Author Jane Fallon. Both were all smiles after a long flight, stopping graciously for Photos with Fans before heading into their SUV.  Despite his joking about his weight gain on Social Media, Gervais looked great, rocking a New York Yankees Ballcap!

For a glimpse of what the original Special Correspondents looked like, watch this:

The Black and Blue Carpet was rolled out tonight at Toronto’s Scotiabank Theatre as Mekhi Phifer and Jai Courtney, Stars of Veronica Roth Adaptation The Divergent Series: Insurgent, flew-in for the grand occasion. Filled with Selfie-aspiring Fans and eager Television and Digital Media, the Carpet was adorned in blue lit-panels depicting the five Factions known so well by Fans of  the Franchise. After strong Reviews and grossing over $150 million in North America, expectations are high of this second Installment.

Many know Phifer for his work on long-running, celebrated TV Series ER and  a string of popular Films he made in his early 20s, including O, 8 Mile and Honey. Australian-born Courtney‘s star is emerging quickly with high-profile Roles in Unbroken, A Good Day to Die Hard and recent news of his casting in DC Comics’ Suicide Squad, to film in Toronto next month with a Cast of Heavyweights.

INSURGENT picks-up where Divergent left-off in a futuristic dystopian Chicago. We witness Tris (Shailene Woodley), Four (Theo James), (Miles Teller) and (Ansel Elgort) on-the-run from ruthless Erudite Faction Leader Jeanine (Kate Winslet), who is determined to capture and test the limits of potentially destructive Divergents (those not belonging to any one particular personality type) at all costs – sparing no lives, placing them through a grueling and deadly set of simulations. Jeanine is in possession of a box containing secrets which Tris‘ Parents lost their lives in the name of protecting.  Tris finds herself having to face Jeanine, risking her life for the protection of her People once she is captured. What is the secret which Jeanine is so set on keeping it hidden from Tris and the Population?  And how will Tris survive Jeanine‘s fatal Regime?

At the heart of The Divergent Series are some strong Female Characters.  Legions of  young Women look-up to Tris and we ask Phifer who plays Dauntless Leader Max, about his own Female Role Models. “My Mom first of all”, he says without hesitation, “She was a single Parent who raised me in Harlem. She was a School Teacher who loved the Community – a Choreographer and Dancer. My Mom was definitely an inspiration.”.

Courtney, who just turned 29 this week, thinks likewise, crediting “My mother of course, I think.”.  He adds, “My Sister too. There a lot of strong Women in my life, including some friends of mine.”.

Phifer recounts his transition from a young impoverished Actor, overcoming the odds to make it in Hollywood with a Career spanning 20 years.  We ask what’s changed from then till now for him.  He says, “I’m 40-years-old, a Dad of two and married.  I mean, it’s inevitable.”.  “That’s the beauty of acting – there’s no age limit.  As long as you can remember lines and read, that’s all you need.”.

Our Justin Waldman asks Courtney about his physically-intensive role as Dauntless Leader Eric, who like Phifer‘s Max, reports to Winslet‘s Jeanine. His Character is menacing, in hot pursuit of Tris and Four, playing a Key Role in her eventual surrender to Jeanine. “I was working on Terminator Genisys at the same time as Insurgent”, he reveals.  “It was a lot of Cardio and Circuit Work – boring stuff. It’s what I have to do to prepare for work. It’s like reading or researching for a role, but you have to become a bit of an Athlete.”. “It gets old.”.

And for those curious, Courtney remains tight-lipped about his return soon to the City for the star-studded Suicide Squad with the likes of Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Cara Delevingne and Joel Kinnaman.  “What am I gonna tell you? We haven’t started yet, but we’re getting ready”, he says before hinting “I’m gonna get to use my Australian accent. I can tell you that much.”.
