As many of you know, TROLLS WORLD TOUR is getting an unprecedented ON-DEMAND release going an alternate route amidst our current climate.

Synopsis:
Anna Kendrick and Justin Timberlake return in Trolls World Tour, an all-star sequel to DreamWorks Animation’s 2016 musical hit. In an adventure that will take them well beyond what they’ve known before, Poppy (Kendrick) and Branch (Timberlake) discover that they are but one of six different Trolls tribes scattered over six different lands and devoted to six different kinds of music: Funk, Country, Techno, Classical, Pop and Rock. Their world is about to get a lot bigger and a whole lot louder.

A member of hard-rock royalty, Queen Barb (Rachel Bloom), aided by her father King Thrash (Ozzy Osbourne), wants to destroy all other kinds of music to let rock reign supreme. With the fate of the world at stake, Poppy and Branch, along with their friends — Biggie (James Corden), Chenille (Caroline Hjelt), Satin (Aino Jawo), Cooper (Ron Funches) and Guy Diamond (Kunal Nayyar) — set out to visit all the other lands to unify the Trolls in harmony against Barb, who’s looking to upstage them all.

Cast as members of the different musical tribes is one of the largest, and most acclaimed, groups of musical talent ever assembled for an animated film. From the land of Funk are Mary J. Blige, George Clinton and Anderson .Paak. Representing Country is Kelly Clarkson as Delta Dawn, with Sam Rockwell as Hickory and Flula Borg as Dickory. J Balvin brings Reggaeton, while Ester Dean adds to the Pop tribe. Anthony Ramos brings the beat in Techno and Jamie Dornan covers smooth jazz. World-renowned conductor and violinist Gustavo Dudamel appears as Trollzart and Charlyne Yi as Pennywhistle from the land of Classical. And Kenan Thompson raps as a newborn Troll named Tiny Diamond.

To get us excited, here are some fun at-home activities to get your family excited for its release, including some drawing tutorials which your kids will love!

The Stars have descended upon Toronto for the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards and while preparations are well under-way over at the Station’s Queen Street Headquarters with Soundchecks taking place throughout the day, several Guests and Performers are just now arriving. Several Fans today not only got a Sneak Peek of tomorrow night’s performances, but some were even lucky enough to meet the Performers including Co-Host PSY, who was gracious to stop for Snaps earlier today with Fans!  Others like Armin Van Buuren, Avril Lavigne, Phillip Phillips and more graced the stage today.

Meanwhile on the other end of the City, we were lucky enough to witness several of tomorrow’s Presenters arrive including the likes of Josh Bowman (Revenge), Shay Mitchell (Pretty Little Liars), Kunal Nayyar (Big Bang Theory), Naya Rivera (Glee), Lucy Hale (Pretty Little Liars), Popstar Cody Simpson and this year’s MMVAs “It Couple” Brittany Snow (Pitch Perfect, Hairspray) and Tyler Hoechlin (Teen Wolf).  Red-hot Arrow Star Stephen Amell, who hails from Toronto, already has been in town for a bit in advance of the Show.

Meanwhile, Australian Internet Sensations The Janoskians have been causing quite a rage at their Hotel, requiring their Security to step-it-up a bit as their hoards of female Fans shower them with attention.

And although simultaneously in town for her Red Tour at Rogers Centre, Taylor Swift and Tourmate Ed Sheeran are expected to grace the Queen Street Stage tomorrow and some are saying they just might perform their latest Single Everything Has Changed as a surprise.

The 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards air tomorrow night at 9:00 PM EST on both MuchMusic and Fuse.

Although filming has wrapped for hilarious-looking new Comedy Dr. Cabbie (formerly Dr. Cabbie’s Meter’s Running) one of its Stars was still spotted in-town earlier today after a grueling week which saw lengthy overnight shoots.  The stunning Adrianne Palicki was spotted walking her adorable Dog, Olly earlier today, casual and gorgeous in Tank Top and Sunglasses.  Ever kind, the Rising Star stopped for a quick Snap and was absolutely lovely and gracious.

Television audiences will remember Palicki for her fantastic work as Tyra Collette on NBC‘s Friday Night Lights.  Like many of her Co-Stars, her profile has been boosted significantly of late including a starring role in this year’s Box Office Hit G.I. Joe: Retaliation from Paramount Pictures.

Palicki stars in the Jean Francois Pouliot Film as the Love Interest of Deepak (Vinay Virmani), a young Indian Doctor who ventures to Canada, becoming a Local Hero merging both his Cab Driving and Medical Skills!  There is even some Bollywood-style dancing in the Film.  Amaze.

We spotted Big Bang Theory Star Kunal Nayyar also last week and he too stars in the Comedy!  Local Celebrities Kardinal Offishall and KISS 92.5‘s Mocha even make Cameos!

Although it’s really pushing it, there are hopes this will premiere at TIFF if not this year, maybe next year?

Everyone loves Rajesh! Kunal Nayyar is a bona fide Household name thanks to his starring role on CBS Hit Series The Big Bang Theory and Toronto has the honour of hosting him as he continues filming on upcoming Comedy, Dr. Cabbie’s Meter’s Running. Starring alongside Adrianne Palicki (G.I. Joe) and Vinay Virmani (Breakaway), the Actor has been in Toronto this past month filming and wraps in just a couple days!

I spotted the Actor heading off to work earlier with his Crew, looking cool and casual.
