Vancouver-born Funnyman Will Sasso is known best for his work as a cast member on MADtv.  The noticeably fitter Actor/Comedian was spotted out and about tonight in Toronto, kind enough to stop for some Photos for Fans!  He currently is in town filming an unknown Project as per his Twitter Timeline.

Sasso can be seen next in new Crime-Comedy HIT BY LIGHTNING which recently premiered in Montreal at the Just for Laughs Festival and CORNER GAS: The Movie, set to hit theatres this Fall!

Although technically we saw him a couple months back here in Toronto, this counts as our first time meeting Peter Dinklage!  The brilliant Actor who has gained international popularity in recent years as Tyrion Lannister on HBO’s Game of Thrones and also X-Men: Days of Future Past as Dr. Bolivar Trask.  The Golden Globe and Primetime EMMY Winner  currently is in our City filming PIXELS alongside Adam Sandler, Kevin James and Josh Gad.

Sightings of Dinklage have been plentiful, but the often private Actor who has been seen most with his Wife Erica, has been to known to be private, often declining Photographs.  After a Dinner Date with his Wife at a Café Boulud tonight, the Star was spotted on the streets and after stopping to pet a dog, he made a quick moment for Fans, politely offering to take a few Snaps.

I am beyond thrilled.  Just look:

Recently presented at COMIC-CON, PIXELS continues to film in Toronto through early September.

No other Band is owning Summer 2014 like 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER!  The Australian Teen Quartet already has reached the top of the U.S. Billboard Hot 200 Album Chart and Canada’s Soundscan Chart with their self-titled Debut from Universal Music.   They currently are supporting Super-Boy-Band One Direction on their  Where We Are North American Tour, which hits Rogers Centre tonight and tomorrow night. Make no mistake though, despite their listing as an Opening Act, several Fans are equally ecstatic to see them perform in an Arena.

Consisting of members Calum Hood, Luke Hemmings, Ashton Irwin and Mike Clifford, the Sydney Band flew-in separately and despite hoards of Fans waiting at the Airport last night for their arrival, complete with multiple Police Escorts ready to keep order, they managed to escape relatively unnoticed despite a few lucky Fans who by chance were at the right place at the right time.

5 Seconds of Summer did a free Public Show which saw thousands line-up outside for a chance to hear them perform an Acoustic Set outside MuchMusic‘s Headquarters today in their Parking Lot. Once again, Police Escorts were required to move people along, some perhaps a bit more aggressive than needed to be! Nonetheless, the reaction was amazing to witness live and what Fans got to take part in was something special.

Fans camped out all day outside their Hotel hoping for a chance to meet the Band and some were extremely lucky as they arrived back in the evening in their newly-minted Tour Bus.  Members Ashton and Luke were perhaps most generous with Photos but alas were rushed-in by their Security Team, who once again were rather aggressive.  After a bit of a shuffle, alas I got my Snap with Ashton!

See it below:

If you still don’t think you’re sold on 5 SECONDS OF SUMMER, just listen to their massive Hits. Believe me – you know them already!

SHE LOOKS SO PERFECT:

AMNESIA (brand-new Video!):

I’ll be seeing the show tomorrow night live from the second row. Majorly excited!  Stay tuned for even more 1D and 5SOS updates!

Father of Emma, Brother of Julia.  Talented certainly and accomplished in his own right.  We’ve met Eric Roberts a few times before, but every time has always been a pleasant experience.  The Toronto-loving Vegan Star is currently in Toronto filming the fourth season of USA Network‘s SUITS as Billionaire Charles Forstman.

Roberts was out and about last night with his Wife Eliza last night getting ready for a Long Weekend of relaxation!  Roberts was seen around Yorkville throughout the day and was gracious to stop for a quick Snap.  His signature move with Fans always is to cuddle them from the back.  Good to know he’s staying true to form!

I’ll always remember INTO THE WOODS as the one Musical I didn’t make the cut for in High School. I bawled my eyes out.  Nonethless, I still am excited to see the Feature Adaptation of the popular Musical with Music/Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and directed by Academy Award-winning Rob Marshall.

See these gorgeous  brand-new Stills and Teaser Trailer from the Film starring Johnny Depp, Emily Blunt, Billy Magnussen, Anna Kendrick, Chris Pine, Meryl Streep and several more! Its Story intertwines several of our favourite Characters from The Brothers Grimm Fairy Tales, an interest which undoubtely was sparked by the popularity of the Series Once Upon a Time surely.

Batista was up and at it early leaving his Hotel in the Entertainment District with his Entourage –  not without some Starbucks first – before spending much of his day at the Bell Media Building, taping interviews and also doing a live appearance on CP24 Breakfast.  On the Show, he revealed that he had a team of five people whom spent four-and-a-half hours applying makeup each day.  “I think this is the best Film Marvel‘s ever done”, he proclaims.  Visit CP24 Breakfast’s Site under the “VIDEOS” section for the complete interview here.

Jane Lynch has been a Star long before the Glee Phenomenon which took the World by storm in 2009. Known best for her work as Sue Sylvester on that Fox Musical-Comedy Series which garnered her both Golden Globe and Primetime Emmy Awards, Lynch has built a lofty Resume of work which dates back to the late ’80s. It was her role in Christopher Guest‘s Show Dog Mockumentary, Best in Show, as Ex-Pornstar Christy Cummings which would put her on the map. Memorable and fearless roles in The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story and A Mighty Wind (also by Guest) soon would follow and it would only be a matter of time before she became a household name.

The Funnywoman is in Toronto today promoting Febreze and their Noseblind Campaign.  That is, are you so accustomed to odours in your home that you don’t even notice them anymore? If there is anyone who knows the benefits of the Freshening Spray, it would be her – a Pet Advocate and loving Owner of two Dogs, Olivia and Francis. Lynch stopped off at Starbucks on Jarvis x Bloor prior to a couple Radio appearances earlier today and then head out to do a variety of Television appearances including City‘s Breakfast Television and CP24 Breakfast.

She currently can be seen on popular NBC Game Show, Hollywood Game Night and is confirmed to appear on Series Girl Meets World. Earlier this Summer she debuted a limited-run Cabaret Show at 54 Below in Manhattan.  The forthcoming sixth season of Glee has been confirmed to be the final of the popular acclaimed Series – expect to see some familiar faces return.

Lynch was so amazingly nice to stop for a quick Photo earlier today with Billy and I!  She’s just so gorgeous in-person!

See Lynch chat with our beloved Dina Pugliese earlier today:

It is her first release under RCA Records/Sony Music after a long, prosperous relationship with Hollywood Records/Universal Music.  The awesome Toby Gad partners with Duff on the Tune.
