Probst appeared on The Morning Show (National Edition) earlier today, talking about his new Film and also what it takes to be a Survivor. Watch the Interview here.

Arriving early, the v. handsome Probst took a few moments to pose for Photos and sign some Autographs. We certainly weren’t immune to his charms!

Kiss Me opens in theatres later this year. Survivor: Cagayan airs Wednesday nights 8 PM on Global Television.

After kicking-off in Vancouver on Valentine’s Day, Multimedia Megastar Miley Cyrus’ fourth self headlining Tour, in support of her 2013 Disc Bangerz, hit Toronto tonight at Air Canada Centre. Selling-out completely, the 21-year-old commanded the Stage Production, best described as sophisticated, colourful, playful Romp, which at once is highly sexually-charged. Outfit upon outfit, Fans were dazzled by her array of Roberto Cavalli-designed Bodysuits, some skimpier than others, before ultimately riding-off a giant Wiener, suspended mid-air.  At one point, Cyrus even spat water on her Fans – met with few complaints, of course!

Cyrus who arrived early Sunday morning with her entourage, mother Tish and Sister Noah, remained low-key for much of her stay. The Star tells her Fans – many daringly-clad with their hair put into buns mimicking their Idol – that she has a special affection for Toronto having lived here four years as a Child. Times certainly have changed and a once precocious young Girl, now back with  the World at the tip of her well-manicured and tattooed finger.

Without making Fans wait too long, the Actress/Songstress zipped through 22 Tracks in two hours, focusing mostly on her number one- selling Disc Bangerz, with a couple familiar hits like Can’t be Tamed and Party in the U.S.A. sprinkled sparsely. Fans went ballistic as she encored her Smash Wrecking Ball and We Can’t Stop. She even surprised those Smilers (as she calls her Fans affectionately), further doing an impromptu Set before them including Covers of Summertime Sadness (Lana Del Rey), The Scientist (Coldplay) and Jolene (Dolly Parton), us witnessing the bright ring of her powerful, resonant vocals.  She had tried to capture the moment on her Phone via a Selfie Video, although the Device ran out of memory, forcing her to delete some files on-stage.

Anybody doubting Cyrus’ Artistry or longevity as an Entertainer beyond her wildly-successful teen past, undoubtedly would have been silenced by her dazzling display tonight.  She is  an exciting Artist who continues to defy the odds and grow regardless what her Naysayers might think.

After a long wait for it, Darren Aronofsky‘s Noah finally sees a release and paddles right past the competition at the Box Office for Paramount Pictures this weekend with $44 million from 3,567 theatres across North America.  Starring Russell Crowe, Jennifer Connelly, Emma Watson, Anthony Hopkins and Logan Lerman, the Biblical Drama looks well on its way quickly to recouping its $160 million budget, earning also $51.1 million overseas. Critics gave it a 75% on the Tomatometer, while Audiences on the contrary surprisingly gave it a C CinemaScore.

After a huge debut last weekend, Divergent still is going strong in second with $26.5 million for Lionsgate Films/eOne Films. In its two week run domestically, the Action-Fantasy starring Theo James and Shailene Woodley has made in excess of $95 million.

Muppets Most Wanted in its second week out earns $11.9 million for Disney, just surpassing the $30-million mark and good enough for third spot, while former Champ Mr. Peabody and Sherman still continues to perform well in fourth for 20th Century Fox, earning $9.6 million in its fourth week out.  To date it has grossed $96 million in these parts. Wes Anderson‘s star-studded The Grand Budapest Hotel in fifth with $8.8 million from only 977 theatres in its fourth week out.

Sabotage debuts in seventh with $5.2 million for Open Road Films. The Action Film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger has yet to open in Canada.  Critics gave it a B CinemaScore, although Critics didn’t think much of it with a 22% CinemaScore.

300: Rise of an Empire finds itself in ninth spot with $4.3 million, just surpassing the $100-million mark domestically in its fourth week out.

Non-Stop rounds-out the Top Ten with $4.2 million for Universal Pictures in its fifth week out, nearing-in on the $90-million mark.

Amazing to be in the presence of royalty. Olympic Royalty, that is! Sisters Chloe, Maxime and Justine Dufour-Lapointe are in Toronto today to tell us all about their medal-winning performances in Moguls Skiing at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The Dufour-Lapointe Sisters were spotted arriving for their appearance at Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition). “No, sorry we don’t have time for Photos or Autographs”, a Handler advised, before eldest Sister Maxine made the decision to snap a quick Photo. Understandably after a long run since returning home from Sochi, they’ve probably fulfilled their share of Fan moments. Although we got photobombed, the were so nice to stop and do a second Snap!  Justine  brought home the gold for Canada this year, while Chloe got us a silver.  Maxime still made us proud making it against the odds to the Olympics!

The Sisters also were travelling with fellow Freestyle Skiier Mikael Kingsbury, who won a Silver Medal along with gold medal-winning fellow Canadian Alexandre Bilodeau.

What an amazing surprise I received at work today! Partnering together with Pizza Hut, Paramount Pictures Canada want us to know about the amazing new TMNT Trailer!

While absorbed at my desk, I received a tap on the shoulder to turn around and see a friendly Delivery Woman from PIZZA HUT, handing me a large, cheesy, doughy, savoury Pizza! Upon closer analysis of the Box, I realize this was a Promo for a Movie I’m eagerly looking forward to! I became the most popular Guy at the Office!

I was in New York last May and remember everyone being excited about TMNT filming, so I’m super-excited it’s almost ready too to be delivered!

Growing up in the late ’80s and early ’90s, it was impossible to avoid the powerful, resonating vocals of New York-born Diva, Taylor Dayne (nee Leslie Wunderman). Singles like Tell it to my Heart, Don’t Rush Me, With Every Beat of my Heart and the ever-moving Love Will Lead You Back have a timelessness to them which still to this day have a home on the Dancefloor and Adult Contemporary Radio.

The still-gorgeous Actress/Songstress is in town for a Show tonight at the Living Arts Centre and on a super-rare occasion, she did a round of Interviews early today promoting it with visits to CITY‘s Breakfast Television and Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition). Looking a vision of perfection in red, it is somehow as if time had stood still as somehow she looks even more stunning than in the ’80s!

Dayne performed on Breakfast Television (watch here) after sitting down for a Chat with Dina Pugliese, before heading-off to her appearance on The Morning Show. Despite it being beyond freezing, she gestured to her many ardent fans outside the window, assuring them she’d be out momentarily to greet them. And she did!

You can always tell by the gleam in my eyes when I’m that extra-bit excited about meeting someone and I’ve waited my whole life to meet Taylor Dayne!
