Adorable Funnyman Kevin James was perhaps one of the greatest surprises of the day, showing-up at the Press Conference for Hotel Transylvania as prior he had not been confirmed. The King of Queens Star arrived much to the delight of Fans earlier today and in addition to having completed work recently on Grown-Ups 2, his next release will be Here Comes the Boom this October where we will see him undergo a massive physical transformation after Mixed Martial Arts training.

No other Film at TIFF 2012 was able to string together a Cast more game to promote than Hotel Transylvania. The Animated Feature saw a Powerhouse Cast of Funnymen and Funnywomen arriving in Toronto for its TIFF 2012 Premiere, including Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg, Fran Drescher, David Spade, Molly Shannon, Kevin James and also Selena Gomez. The Film opens September 28, 2012 via Sony Pictures.
Earlier this morning at its Press Conference, the Cast of Hotel Transylvania showed nothing but true hospitality to Fans, coming over to take plenty of Photos and sign Autographs. After years of admiring his work, I had the ultimate pleasure of snapping a Photo with Sandler, whom I’ve loved since his Saturday Night Live days.

Remember this face. 26-year-old Actor Dane DeHaan constantly is compared to Leonardo DiCaprio based on the obvious physical parallels, but he is definitely set for major Stardom in his own right and on his own merit. Having starred in this year’s Chronicle, he next can be seen alongside Bradley Cooper and Ryan Gosling in The Place Beyond the Pines, Kill Your Darlings with Daniel Radcliffe and also Devil’s Knot with Oscar Winners Reese Witherspoon and Colin Firth. Major.
He was a Class Act to take a quick break out of the Afterparty for The Place Beyond the Pines, chatting and taking Photos with Fans who just were discovering him.

How’s that for a rare Photo Op? Here’s Ryan Gosling and Bradley Cooper, Co-Stars in Derek Cianfrance‘s The Place Beyond the Pines, posing together on the Red Carpet for their Afterparty this evening. That lucky Lady!

Eva Mendes looked absolutely stunning tonight at the Afterparty for The Place Beyond the Pines, the Film responsible for bringing her together with Boyfriend, Ryan Gosling. Although she rarely does it, tonight was my lucky night as I got not one but two Photos with Mendes after the first one failed to turn-out!
The Crime Drama is set to be released in 2013, gaining lots of Oscar buzz at TIFF right now.

Everybody loves Ryan. Ryan Gosling appeared at the Premiere for his latest Film, The Place Beyond the Pines, directed by Derek Cianfrance. This latest Project pairs Gosling together with Director Derek Cianfrance once again – the two last working together on 2010’s Blue Valentine, which also premiered at TIFF.
Gosling was spotted heading to his After Party for the Film together with Cooper, although oddly-enough Jennifer Lawrence was said to be at the Premiere too, but didn’t join them afterward.
I was lucky enough to score an extra Autograph from the Actor who happens to star alongside People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive Winner, Bradley Cooper. Surely a few eyebrows must be raised here considering that many feel that Gosling is deserving of that Title. Stay tuned for more details on how to win this.

Meet Mickey Sumner. The Daughter of Rock Legend Sting and Trudie Styler is really making a name for herself as an Actress and at TIFF 2012 alone, she has two Films this year: Imogene and Frances Ha. Accompanied at the Red Carpet today for Imogene at Ryerson Theatre by her Mother, Sumner was all smiles, stopping to pose for a few Photos. She also appears in upcoming Indie Comedy, Missed Connections and stars as Patti Smith in CBGB, based on the legendary New York City Club of the same name. Keep her on your tab as one to look-out for.

Darren Criss sure is getting to know Toronto pretty well and makes his second trip here this year alone – his last being back in June for the MuchMusic Video Awards, where we caught-up with him. Criss stars in Kristen Wiig‘s latest Comedy Imogene and although he was last to arrived on the Red Carpet at Ryerson Theatre today, he certainly wasn’t the least well-received. Shrieks of delight could be heard from his female Fans abound and sadly, several Fans were left disappointed not getting a chance to meet him. The Glee Star did however, make it up to some afterward upon leaving the venue!

Garnering tons of praise already is Anna Karenina from Director Joe Wright. The Romantic Drama starring Keira Knightley premiered earlier this evening at VISA Screening Room and although Knightley was keen on staying to watch the entire Film, Jude Law and Aaron Johnson both skipped-out for a Dinner Break. Law zipped through a few Autographs, declining Photos citing “If I take one Photo, I’ll be here forever doing this.”. And he was firm about it.

She might be younger than her brilliant older Sister Dakota but 14-year-old Elle Fanning certainly isn’t shorter on talent. Fanning was seen earlier in the day today at the Windsor Arms Hotel enjoying their Gifting Suite, but saved it all for later in the evening at her Premiere for Ginger & Rosa at VISA Screening Room, where she was seen rather emotional after seeing the Film for the first time. Audience members noted that she was so touched by the Film, she couldn’t stop crying during the Q&A to follow. Stunning a purple Pant Suit, she came out to greet Fans one by one afterward. Lovely. Excited to see what’s next for this one.
