#TIFF12: PENÉLOPE CRUZ IN TORONTO FOR “TWICE BORN”
Academy Award-winning Actress Penélope Cruz is every bit as charming in-person as she is on the big screen. Although, rushed upon arrival of her new Romantic Drama Twice Born, she did promise to come out and sign some Autographs afterward. Unfortunately though, she first agreed to taking a Photo before her Handler advised there was no time left and then she later told me she had to go. Heartbreak!
Cruz's Husband Javier Bardem also currently is in-town doing promotion for his Documentary, ...

#TIFF12: EMILE HIRSCH AT PRESS CONFERENCE FOR “TWICE BORN”
The brilliant Emile Hirsch is in-town for Sarajevo-set Romance Twice Born. The Film also stars Penélope Cruz and a Press Conference for it was held earlier today.

Academy Award-winning Actress Octavia Spencer might've been late arriving to the Red Carpet for the Premiere of Smashed tonight, but she sure made-up for it.

#TIFF12: JEREMY IRVINE IN TORONTO FOR “GREAT EXPECTATIONS”
One of the Actors whom I wanted to meet most at TIFF 2012 definitely was Jeremy Irvine. The talented and handsome 22-year-old starred in last year's Best Picture Candidate, War Horse and is here at the Festival with Great Expectations. Irvine stars alongside the likes of Ralph Fiennes and Helena Bonham Carter and his younger Brother Toby also appears as a younger version of himself in the Film.
I caught-up with the Actor as he left the InStyle Magazine Party at Windsor Arms Hotel and he was ...

#TIFF12: ZOE KAZAN & PAUL DANO AT INSTYLE MAGAZINE PARTY
If you haven't yet seen the clever and witty Ruby Sparks, you must do so soon. Real-life Partners, Zoe Kazan and Paul Dano who star in the Movie, were amazing enough to work the line of Fans waiting at the InStyle Magazine Party and both are just as sweet in-person as you'd imagine!
Kazan of course, will be in Toronto for the next while as she films The F Word opposite Daniel Radcliffe.

#TIFF: TATYANA ALI, PATRICK J. ADAMS & MR. WILL
This has to be one of the ultimate highlights of the TIFF 2012 InStyle Magazine Party - getting a Snap together with Suits Star Patrick J. Adams and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air's Tatyana Ali! Both are completely unrelated and this pairing is completely random - a perfect example of the mishmash of people we see here at the Festival.
