You haven’t lived till you’ve had a Cupcake from KELLY’S BAKE SHOPPE!  The brainchild of mother/daughter duo Kelly Childs and Erinn Weatherbie, the Burlington bakery has stamped itself among the World’s best purveyors of the sweets, let alone the fact their goodies are highly-conscious of food sensitivies and did I mention, vegan?

I get it – the thought of the words “gluten-free” or “vegan” often conjur images of the tasteless and bland but the truth of the matter is you wouldn’t realize you were eating anything of the like how substantial, rich, dense and moist these baked goods are.  Everything on the Menu from their signature Cupcakes, to Cookies to Donuts and Brownies is worth the trek to Burlington.

After doing a fair bit of press lately in support of their new Cookbook MADE WITH LOVE, we made the journey west and were thrilled to meet the incredibly-busy Childs who was at the store that day! She came on out to greet Billy and I, concerned for Billy‘s hydration in the heat.  Clumsily, I dropped my cupcakes, smearing the icing allover their plastic container and she was so gracious to replace them for me even.  We took a Selfie and she was just so gracious for the support! Let’s make it clear, these Cupcakes are the best in the land.

Flavours rotate daily with new offerings depending on the Holiday,  but my favourites are Coffee Break, Birthday Cake, Root Beer Float and Black and White.  You must also try those Snickerdoodle Cookies, the Mile-High Brownie and of course their Cinnamon Sugar Donut.  Sweets that good are deserving of a quality coffee pairing and they brew only Balzac’s.

See our Selfie:

Best friggin’ cupcake in the land! Pleasure saying “hi” to @kellychildsxo today at her famous Burlington shoppe!

It’s Joey Bats! Toronto couldn’t be more lucky to have its star right-fielder José Bautista back in action after a toe injury.  While the Toronto Blue Jays were performing fine without the star, who has been at the center of much discussion of late as a pending free agent.  With an impending non-waiver trade deadline due on August 1, 2016, it seems unlikely our trademark Batflipper will be traded.

Prior to heading-out to participate at the annual José Bautista Celebrity Golf Classic, he did some press including a stop at Breakfast Television on CITY, arriving an hour past his originally-scheduled 7:00 AM appearance. Opting for a hidden entrance to the appearance, he more than made up for his tardiness, rewarding Fans with autographs and Selfies before leaving in an unsuspecting vehicle.

We admit, we don’t know much about Baseball, but Bautista has helped us understand and want to learn more! He better not be going anywhere!

Joey Bats! #JoseBaurista #BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays ⚾

We love Bryce Dallas Howard  and were thrilled upon learning she’d be in town again! We loved her being horrible and nasty in The Help and 50/50 most. Although Howard really has taken her time focusing on building a quality Résumé as an Actress, while balancing parenthood, things really are taking-off quickly for the daughter of beloved Ron Howard.

While she’s been here for TIFF in the past, she now is here to promote upcoming 3-D Remake, PETE’S DRAGON from Disney. She was last seen in record-breaking Blockbuster JURASSIC WORLD and will be seen again in its 2018 Follow-up.

Howard had a full day of press lined-up starting early at KISS 92.5, heading over to CITY‘s Breakfast Television and later Bell Media for The Social and eTalk. Despite being in a bit of a rush, the low-key star made sure to snap a Selfie and sign Autographs for all her Fans. Class Act. And this is why we love her.

See the Trailer:

Loved seeing beautiful #BryceDallasHoward back again. A class act. She is here for #PetesDragon, in theatres 8.12.16!

She’s the real deal. Although it’s been a good minute since we’ve heard from Bridgit Mendler, we’ve always thought highly of her.  Girl can sing (we really mean it!), girl can act and of course, she’s a great person.  Here to help launch the first ever WE (as in WE Day) Store at Eaton Centre in Toronto, the 23-year-old got her break with roles on popular series Good Luck Charlie and Wizards of Waverley Place.  A few years back she released a disc on Hollywood Records before focusing on her studies at University of South California.  She even plans to get a doctorate degree!

The WE store is the first time Cadillac-Fairview ever has allocated retail space to a charity. The shop offers ME to WE products that empower people to change the world with their everyday consumer choices. Every ME to WE purchase gives a life-changing gift to a child or family in WE Charity’s partner communities, from school supplies to health care to alternative income opportunities.

In addition to meeting the first 100 guests at the WE Store at 4:00 PM, she will be hosting her own Listening Party later in the day for her new material.

See our Snap with Mendler:

She’s growing up fast! Loved seeing #BridgitMendler, here to promote some new Music and launch Toronto’s @MeToWe Store! #RandomActsofWE

You definitely recognize her from beloved sitcom ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT, but Funnywoman Cheryl Hines is ready again for her close-up again soon!  Promising Comedy NINE LIVES is about to hit theatres and the Actress is in town to tell us about it!

In the event you weren’t aware, six of the top Films of 2016 thus far centered around animals.  No different. NINE LIVES centers on a stuffy businessman (Kevin Spacey) who finds himself trapped inside the body of his family’s cat. Toronto’s Robbie Amell, Jennifer Garner and Christopher Walken also star!

We caught-up with the “arresting” Hines on her Press rounds earlier in the day and she was amazing to stop for a quick minute to say “hi” to Billy and I.  She loved Billy who immediately took a liking to her, snuggling-up to her!  Among her stops today were The Morning Show, eTalk, The Social and Entertainment Tonight Canada. If you look closely, you’ll see that Billy actually is sporting an official pet tie from the Film! Dapper, dapper!

See the Trailer:

Few can deny that SUICIDE SQUAD is the highlight of Summer 2016 at the Movies, thus it is only fitting that the Warner Bros. Blockbuster returns to the place where it all began last spring for what could be the highest-grossing Film ever to be made in our City.  Primed for a release, the DC Comics adaptation brought in Director David Ayer, along with stars Margot Robbie and Will Smith for an ultra-exclusive Red Carpet bash at the Distillery district’s Fermenting Cellar.

The Trio walked the Red Carpet in celebration of the Film taglined with the catch-phrase “Worst. Heroes. Ever.“, bringing together Super Villains in an operation to protect the safety of the President of the United States and its people. Just last weekend the Cast were at San Diego Comic-Con promoting the release and they were out in Miami earlier this week interacting with Fans!

Robbie looked a vision, Bohameian-chic, while Ayer and Smith kept it cool and casual, keeping in mind this was a party and they are after all… one of us, right? Right?

Mayor John Tory and the Trio did a ribbon-cutting ceremony together with eTalk’s Ben Mulroney, with Tory welcoming them back any time and gifting them with plaques from our City.

SUICIDE SQUAD stars Will Smith, Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Joel Kinnaman, Viola Davis, Jai Courtney, Jay Hernandez, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Ike Barinholtz, Scott Eastwood, Cara Delevingne and Adam Beach.

For two days only, Wednesday, July 27, 2016 and Thursday, July 28, 2016 1-10 PM EST, the venue will host an awesome Belle Reve Penitentiary Fan Experience. The installation gives Fans a chance to experience:

-Sets and props from the Film including Deadshot Jail Cell, Harley Quinn Baseball Bat, Joker’s Cane and the iconic Belle Reve Mural Wall

-The world’s first Harley Quinn Smash Room, presented by BattleSports Inc. Fans can slip on a safety suit, grab Harley‘s bat and let it all out on glass bottles and vases

Tickets are available for purchase to see the Film in IMAX if you’re worried about getting shut-out at the Box Office opening weekend. Also, many exciting prizes are up for grabs. You in the very least walk away with a collectible poster. Come by, take a Selfie and use the Hashtag: #BelleReveTO.

Admission to the Fan Experience is free.
