We all loved him in GREASE LIVE! And we’ve been wanting more ever since! Jordan Fisher who played Doody on that unforgettable televised event earlier this year actually released his debut single ALL ABOUT US back in April but it appears finally it is getting some traction.

You might already know the 22-year-old from Secret Life of an American Teenager, Teen Wolf and Teen Beach?

The sleek R&B/Electronic Pop romp which could be mistaken for Nick Jonas showcases the Actor/Multi-Instrumentalist/Singer’s amazing vocal range had us taken aback right away. Fisher is a new artist we’re super-excited about and he is primed for the released of his debut EP later this month.

Although it isn’t getting much airplay up this way just yet, it already is number 26 on the Billboard Pop Songs Chart and we expect it to climb as one of this Summer’s hidden gems.

Check it out below:

Synopsis:
The true story of the legendary New York heiress and socialite, Florence Foster Jenkins (Meryl Streep), who in the early 1900s, obsessively pursued her dream of becoming a great singer—despite having a singing voice that was so out of tune and unable to hit the right notes that people found it hilarious.

Supported by her younger partner, actor St. Clair Bayfield (Hugh Grant), she mostly performed concerts for friends, but in 1944, she staged a public performance at the famed Carnegie Hall, that quickly sold out.

Although this latest edition of Princess Diaries comes a bit sooner than imagined, our girl A PIC BY MRWILL is back! We were so touched by all the support Princess got from Racing Fans and Handicappers alike once again being bet-down as the post-time favourite in her second start early July.

We let you down and we are sorry. We still love you and hope you haven’t stopped loving us.

We admit like you we were a bit baffled by that last race where she was a bit more forwardly-placed, only to fade in the stretch especially after her first race and workout tab showed so much promise. Since then, she’s had a month to regroup. We’ve seen her focus on distance with her longest workout to date yet at six furlongs.  She’s also been going on her two-mile jogs and we hear she is a “monster” and full of power on those.

Team John Ross, who have been having an amazing season with stable stars like R U Watchingbud, Ultraflame and top two-year-olds Raglan Road and Lokinforpursemonee (also, wait till they unveil the promising Cool Catomine!) have patiently been handling Princess and figuring her out.  Rest assured, we still believe in her and love her very much.  Her tall and strong physiology suggest she will appreciate added distance and this is exactly what she’ll get in her third lifetime start on Friday, August 5, 2016 at Woodbine.

Otherwise, in addition to a professional training regimen, we’ve been there to give her lots of support and love with kisses, apples and mini carrots – no candies for now though till she applies herself a bit more, but we leave this at her Handler Basil‘s discretion should he feels it’s warranted!  Cathy (her Mom) and I have been firm about this.

I also ordered her a brand-new halter from wonderful Fincham’s Harness Shop in Nobleton.  She looks amazing in it and has taken to it rather well! New halter, change of luck? No one ever said Horse Racing wasn’t hokey!

The amount of support Princess has received from the Media including mentions in the Daily Racing Form, the Toronto Star, Woodbine‘s Social Media channels and more recently Down the Stretch (the publication by 680 News’ Peter Gross) is a true testament in the public’s interest in her story and I am so proud of her no matter her order of finish Friday.  In case you haven’t read the piece in Down the Stretch, you may click here to read more.

 We appreciate all your encouragement and hope to see you there Friday at Woodbine or in-spirit!

My mind was completely blown getting the pleasure of test-driving the 2016 HONDA CIVIC TOURING.  Sleek, stylish and luxurious, this Sedan is just as spacious in size as it is large in value.

Starting at just $27,155 CAN, the TOURING‘s is equipped with a1.5-litre, 16-valve, Direct Injection, DOHC, turbocharged 4-cylinder engine, operating at a stellar 174 horsepower.

What makes the TOURING next-level is that not only does its front-seat passengers benefit from heated seats, but so do those in the back!  The Driver’s Seat is adjustable in – count ’em – eight ways, while passengers get four ways to position themselves. Backseat passengers also get their own vents, so everyone stays cool in the scorching summer heat and grueling Canadian winters. Gorgeous leather seats remind us that it’s all in the details.  Did we mention that the windshield wipers have rain sensors? Rain sensors!

The Audio System is a superb 450-watts with 10 speakers including subwoofer and having our favourite, SIRIUS XM is a must. We love SIRIUS HITS XM  and those same few songs they play repeatedly. We wouldn’t have it any other way!  One bonus is, if you love that song you heard, you can always skip back and play it over and over. This is our kind of a car.

We enjoy that the TOURING is with the times and connecting to the vehicle’s system is a breeze  through Bluetooth. We could receive our texts (transcribed and read out to us for safety), make and receive phone calls and also sync with the Spotify app on our phone effortlessly.

You know how much we love staying charged and connected with our smartphone.  Situated conveniently within reach is a charging plate which charges super-fast.  No more clumsy USB cables! Score.

Safety always is first and reversing as always with Honda is a breeze with a fantastic rear-view camera and blindspot assistance.  We love lane-departure warning for those long days and we feel secure knowing there are both front and side airbags.

We admit it, we’re stingy.  Our favourite thing about the TOURING is its fuel economy at 6.7L/100 km. When we drive, we drive far.  We love that on less than $40, we were able to fill our tank after about five days of driving.

We definitely would not complain if we were to be paired again with this gem!

JASON BOURNE takes the top of the Box Office in its debut, continuing its Franchise’s legacy of success with $59 million from 4,026 theatres for Universal Pictures. In relation to its Predecessors, it still cannot surpass the $69 million opening of 2007’s THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM but is second best, firmly ahead of 2005’s THE BOURNE SUPREMACY. Critics gave it a 56% on the Tomatometer, but Audiences loved it with an A- CinemaScore.

ICE AGE: COLLISION COURSE is in fifth with $10.9 million for 20th Century Fox, a total of $42 million in two weeks.

LIGHTS OUT continues to be the “little engine who could”, powering along in sixth with $10 million for Warner Bros. Made for less than $5 million, the Horror is now en route to $42 million in earnings.

NERVE opens in ninth with $9 million for Lionsgate Films/eOne Films. Since its opening Wednesday it has made $15 million. Critics gave it a 56% on the Tomatometer, while Audiences gave it an A- CinemaScore.

You haven’t lived till you’ve had a Cupcake from KELLY’S BAKE SHOPPE!  The brainchild of mother/daughter duo Kelly Childs and Erinn Weatherbie, the Burlington bakery has stamped itself among the World’s best purveyors of the sweets, let alone the fact their goodies are highly-conscious of food sensitivies and did I mention, vegan?

I get it – the thought of the words “gluten-free” or “vegan” often conjur images of the tasteless and bland but the truth of the matter is you wouldn’t realize you were eating anything of the like how substantial, rich, dense and moist these baked goods are.  Everything on the Menu from their signature Cupcakes, to Cookies to Donuts and Brownies is worth the trek to Burlington.

After doing a fair bit of press lately in support of their new Cookbook MADE WITH LOVE, we made the journey west and were thrilled to meet the incredibly-busy Childs who was at the store that day! She came on out to greet Billy and I, concerned for Billy‘s hydration in the heat.  Clumsily, I dropped my cupcakes, smearing the icing allover their plastic container and she was so gracious to replace them for me even.  We took a Selfie and she was just so gracious for the support! Let’s make it clear, these Cupcakes are the best in the land.

Flavours rotate daily with new offerings depending on the Holiday,  but my favourites are Coffee Break, Birthday Cake, Root Beer Float and Black and White.  You must also try those Snickerdoodle Cookies, the Mile-High Brownie and of course their Cinnamon Sugar Donut.  Sweets that good are deserving of a quality coffee pairing and they brew only Balzac’s.

See our Selfie:

Best friggin’ cupcake in the land! Pleasure saying “hi” to @kellychildsxo today at her famous Burlington shoppe!

It’s Joey Bats! Toronto couldn’t be more lucky to have its star right-fielder José Bautista back in action after a toe injury.  While the Toronto Blue Jays were performing fine without the star, who has been at the center of much discussion of late as a pending free agent.  With an impending non-waiver trade deadline due on August 1, 2016, it seems unlikely our trademark Batflipper will be traded.

Prior to heading-out to participate at the annual José Bautista Celebrity Golf Classic, he did some press including a stop at Breakfast Television on CITY, arriving an hour past his originally-scheduled 7:00 AM appearance. Opting for a hidden entrance to the appearance, he more than made up for his tardiness, rewarding Fans with autographs and Selfies before leaving in an unsuspecting vehicle.

We admit, we don’t know much about Baseball, but Bautista has helped us understand and want to learn more! He better not be going anywhere!

Joey Bats! #JoseBaurista #BlueJays #TorontoBlueJays ⚾
