Set to open on Valentine’s Day, Mean Girls Director just may have a big Hit on his hands with his Film Adaptation of popular Teen-Fiction Novel Series, Vampire Academy!

Official Synopsis:

Rose Hathaway is a Dhampir, half human/vampire, guardians of the Moroi, peaceful, mortal Vampires living discreetly within our World. Her legacy is to protect the Moroi from bloodthirsty, immortal Vampires, the Strigoi. This is her Story.

Vampire Academy stars Sarah Hyland, Olga Kurylenko, Sami Gayle, Joely Richardson and Zoey Deutch.

See the Trailer:

Racy, racy. Miley Cyrus just unleashed her brand-new Video for latest Single, ADORE YOU. Directed by Joseph Kahn, the Clip has Cyrus writhing about seductively in bed, interspersed with some self-filmed Footage. Edgy, but like Wrecking Ball it gets a little uncomfortable to watch at moments.

After much speculation sparked after a radio interview on Los Angeles’ POWER 106 last week, Justin Bieber has officially dropped a Christmas Bomb, confirming his retirement on Christmas Eve at 10:22 PM EST.

The Entertainer is back home in Stratford spending the Holidays with Family, flying-in to the City earlier this week. Knowing certainly how to capitalize on Publicity with a Documentary Believe, which looks at a darker side of the Singer’s fame, being in theatres Christmas Day, his Fans certainly will be combing the Film for clues to this sudden announcement.

See Bieber‘s Tweet below:

Publicity Stunt?  Drunk Tweet? You decide.

Although up to 250k Torontonians are without power from this debilitating Ice Storm which has taken over the City, it would be a waste not in the least to appreciate the beauty of it all.

With Christmas Shopping done and wrapped and little more to do today, Billy and I went out for a stroll in Yorkville. Seeing gleaming tree branches and stems ensconced in crystalline ice is a thing of beauty and one of the pleasures those of you in warmer temperatures might not have the delight of witnessing.

If you’re stuck without power, sending positive thoughts that it returns soon in time for the Holidays.

From Billy and I, Happy Holidays to you Wongsters! Sending love and warmth to you and your Loved Ones!

Despite filling hosting duties on Saturday Night Live last night, former Alumni Jimmy Fallon may have gotten help from a few Friends – but it is those few Buddies who helped deliver huge laughs on a memorable Christmas episode of Comedy-Sketch Series, now in its 39th Season!

In addition to Madonna, Sir Paul McCartney, Barry Gibb and Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Fallon got a major boost from his Pal and Musical Guest and multi-time Host, Justin Timberlake!

Sir Paul McCartney would kick-off the star-studded Affair in the Evening’s Opening Monologue which would have Fallon doing his best impressions of David Bowie, Bob Dylan and Sir Paul McCartney, only for the latter to appear suddenly on-stage!

See Fallon and McCartney perform Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas:

Timberlake brought back his popular Musical Liquorville Sketch, this time in Holiday Spirit and with the help of Fallon, competing with a Charity Gift Wrapper in Cast Member Aidy Bryant. Bring it on down to Wrappinville! Adorbs!

See The Wrap-Off below!

Madonna and the real Gibb himself on The Barry Gibb Show!

Perhaps one of the Highlights of the Evening was the Musical Sketch Let’s Do It in my Twin Bed featuring Fallon and the Ladies of SNL, a bit of an Homage to The Pussycat Dolls with Sisters singing about a little wild surprise for their Boyfriends, “getting wild in a bed for a child!” at their Mom and Dad’s!

Watch Let’s Do It in my Twin Bed below:

One thing that never ceases to make me laugh are imaginary Music Compilation Sketches and here is SNL‘s take on NOW That’s What I Call Christmas featuring impressions of Alanis Morissette, Andrea Bocelli and Alan Rickman:

My favourite Sketch though was the super-sweet Baby, It’s Cold Outside Sketch with Weekend Update‘s Cecily Strong, with her as the clingy One-Night-Stand who manages to win Fallon over amidst a Blizzard in NYC:

In its second week out, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug continues to perform phenomenally at the Box Office with $31.4 million from 3,928 theatres for Warner Bros. In just two weeks, the second in the Peter Jackson-helmed Trilogy has grossed over $128 million.

Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues in its debut certainly is no slouch only getting bested narrowly with $26.8 million from 3,507 theatres for Paramount Pictures. Critics loved the Sequel to the 2004 Box Office Hit, which also opened with a similar $28 million in its debut. Critics gave it positive Reviews, coming-in at 75% on the Tomatometer and an on-par B CinemaScore.

Oscar Contender American Hustle expands in its second week to third spot with $19.1 million  from 2,507 theatres. .  The ’70s-set Dramedy from David O. Russell (The Fighter) comes with astoundingly good Reviews (94% on the Tomatometer), although Audiences were a little less enthused with a B+ Cinemascore.  This ties with former Champ Frozen in third spot, now in its sixth week as it has its eyes set on that $200-mark domestically.

Saving Mr. Banks expands in fifth spot with $10 million, coming also with very strong Reviews, sitting at 81% on the Tomatometer. Audiences gave it a fair A CinemaScore.

The Hunger Games: Catching Fire finds itself in sixth with $9.5 million, now in its fifth week of release,  just surpassing the $370-million mark in North America for Lionsgate Films/eOne Films.

Walking With Dinosaurs opens in eighth spot with $7.3 million from 3,231 theatres for eOne Films/20th Century Fox.  Critics panned the Family Flick voiced by Justin Long and John Leguizamo, getting 21% on the Tomatometer, while Audiences enjoyed it much more with a B+ CinemaScore.

Thor: The Dark World pulls-in $1.2 million for Disney/Marvel in its sixth week of release, just surpassing the $200-million mark in North America.

Anyone who knows me knows exactly where to find me on weekends.  I’ve been going to Woodbine Racetrack pretty much every weekend since Childhood – something that surprises many.  My Saturdays and Sundays were spent accompanying  Mom & Dad at the Races and as odd as it sounds, it was our Family thing. Instead of doing Homework, I’d study the Daily Racing Form and the Racing Journal.  And while other Kids my age were playing Video Games and watching Saved by the Bell, I was analyzing Bloodlines and Pedigrees, concocting imaginary Champions in my mind if one day I were to have millions and build my own Stable.

After taking a break through a stretch of the 2000s, I found myself missing the Sport v. much, occasionally keeping-track from afar. My Brother and I occasionally would update each other on the status of our Virtual Stables.  Of course, his always was doing better!

Visits  to the Races often were limited to occasional Family Dinners at the Track’s amazing Buffet.  It was $7.3-million-earning Superfilly Zenyatta who got me back into the Sport about four years ago, giving me someone to root for and thanks in due part also to my Buddy Keith who created popular Racing Blog TRIPLE DEAD HEAT,  I’ve fallen in love with  the Sport all over again.  I love bringing my Friends to the Races and some of them have walked away winning a pretty chunk of cash!

Of course, I don’t want to give the impression that I’m in it for the money – I’m more of a $2 Bettor myself to be honest.  My day at the Races gives me that much-needed pick-me-up and a recharge as more often than not, I find myself drowning in work whether it be my Office Job or my Blog.  Woodbine gives me that bit of an escape I need. And because it’s something so dear to my heart, there is something comforting about it that connects me to the Person I was growing-up.

With the 2013 Racing Season at Woodbine just having concluded last week, I find myself looking through the thousands of Photos I’ve taken throughout the year and reminiscing. As unconventional as it sounds, photographing Horses has made me a better Photographer in general, skills I can apply towards the Celeb-centric Photography I do on my Site.  As always is the case, I’m at a loss what to do on weekends for the next four months as our Equine Friends get their much-deserved Winter breaks at the Farm or training down south.  We truly are spoiled at Woodbine, getting to see World Class talent throughout the year in addition to the prestigious Queen’s Plate (July) and Pattison Canadian International (October).

I thought I’d share with you some of the Snaps I’ve taken of these gorgeous, talented Animals and Key Personalities in the Sport!  Horse Racing as you will see, is a v. visual Sport –  full of colour, flare and spirit.  Even when you lose a bet, it’s hard not to be happy for the Winners as their passion is infectious.  Behind every Horse is an intricate Team whom help craft that Success Story.

I love my Horses. But please keep that a secret from Billy though… we’ll keep him thinking Pups are #1!
