#SPOTTED: LESLIE JORDAN IN TORONTO FOR “FRUIT FLY: DO GAY MEN REALLY BECOME THEIR MOTHERS?”

Longevity and Leslie Jordan certainly have become synonymous with one another.  You know him from Will & Grace, Star Trek: Voyager, Ugly Betty and more recently American Horror Story: Coven and now the brilliant EMMY Award-winning Actor graces our City with his presence this weekend with not one, but two Shows at enWave Theatre (Harbourfront Centre).

Titled Fruit Fly: Do Gay Men Become Their Mothers?, Jordan will be raising money for the Casey House with proceeds from the Shows. He will be reflecting on his storied Career and relationship with his beloved Southern Belle of a Mother, Miss Peggy Ann, in his 90-minute Show.

The diminutive Actor did a Guest Host spot on Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition) earlier and you can watch his appearance here.

On his way to the Studio, he was awesome to stop for some Snaps and Autographs with Fans.  “Oh, I’ve made a new Friend!”, he says to Billy, giving him a smooch, which gladly he reciprocated back as you can see!

#FIRSTLOOK: “AMERICAN HORROR STORY: ASYLUM”

Clevver News gets an exclusive first look at the second season of American Horror Story: Asylum, with Jenna Dewan and Adam Levine playing a young Couple looking to spice-up their love life in a former Tuberculosis Ward. There’s only five minutes shown here and I’m already hooked!

Creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk have the uncanny ability of combining suspense, sexuality and horror and although I absolutely loved the first Season of the FX Series, I’m expecting big things here. Well this much is certain – it seems their attentions and inspiration are being poured here versus another Musical Comedy Series which I used to love on FOX.

Watch the Preview below:

American Horror Story: Asylum premieres tomorrow night, Wednesday, October 17, 2012 at 10:00 PM on FX.
