Winner of the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, ME AND EARL AND THE DYING GIRL is the uniquely funny, moving story of Greg (Thomas Mann), a high school senior who is trying to blend in anonymously, avoiding deeper relationships as a survival strategy for navigating the social minefield that is teenage life. He even describes his constant companion Earl (RJ Cyler), with whom he makes short film parodies of classic movies, as more of a ‘co-worker’ than a best friend. But when Greg’s mom (Connie Britton) insists he spend time with Rachel (Olivia Cooke) – a girl in his class who has just been diagnosed with cancer – he slowly discovers how worthwhile the true bonds of friendship can be.

This is exactly what we’ve been raving about all this time! Up and coming R&B Star Tinashe took over our Airwaves with Nick Jonas on the Jealous Remix and now it’s about time you got to know her real well. The Video for All Hands on Deck has just and your minds will be blown at the amazing Choreography on stacked Freight Cars. The Track is much in the same vein as her 2 On, so if you enjoyed that, you will love this. This certainly makes us forget some rather forgettable Tracks coming out of the Genre of late…

Uncle Tetsu’s Japanese Cheesecake has long built a following in Asia since its inception in 1990 now with over 70 Stores worldwide.  The famous Japanese Cheesecake Maker now has its sights on the conquering the discerning palettes of North Americans. And it would appear Toronto has been won.

After landing some prime Real Estate at Toronto’s bustling Bay x Dundas, just steps from Eaton Centre, the Shop has become synonymous with  excessively long queues, with Torontonians excited for a taste of the sweet rage. We waited almost three hours – not that we were counting –  watching patient Staffers handcrafting Goodies within our line of sight.  Onlookers jeered those in line, but not without peering through the Shop’s windows in wonderment themselves.

Selling at $8.88 a pop, the Shop’s signature 6-inch Cakes (actually larger than it sounds really) are exciting for adventurous Locals. Light, v. buttery, sponge-like, each individual one is sold in its own box and bag.  Cakes don a Caricature imprint of the Franchise Founder, who has found a way to entice and pique the interest of a fickle Toronto Crowd, teasing them in a captive state with the Shop’s emitting of buttery aroma and enchanting smiles of enthusiastic female Staff.

We’ll pretend that we haven’t tried other acceptable incarnations of the Delight at local Chinese Bakeries and even the real deal in Japan before, which to be honest aren’t far off Tetsu‘s mark.  They’re great, but were they worth the wait?

One thing’s for certain, Uncle T‘s certainly won at least one new Fan:

#UncleTetsu’s #JapaneseCheesecake. The moment of truth…

FURIOUS 7 accelerates to the top of the Box Office this weekend with a huge $150 million opening for Universal Pictures from 4,004 theatres across North America.

Henry Zebrowski‘s moment may finally have arrived. The Actor has padded his Resume in recent years with roles in high-profile releases like The Wolf of Wall Street in which he starred as memorable Sea Otter, but it is recent news of his casting in NBC‘s HEROES REBORN which has us excited!

We spotted the Actor out and about today and he tells us he loves the City, getting to have dinner with some of his Castmates over the past week.  He tells me he looks forward to settling-in as he is set to film here through September.  Of course, we have no additional Plot details or Character names just yet for the new Series.

See our Snap:

19-year-old English-born American Implant, Robbie Kay, has long been building his Resume with major credits in Titles such as the Pirates of the Caribbean Franchise as Cabin Boy.   In 2013, he gained recognition worldwide for his Award-nominated work on the third Season of ABC‘s Once Upon a Time as Peter Pan/Pied Piper. His Star continues to rise fast with news of his recent casting in NBC‘s Heroes Reborn, continuing where popular Series Heroes left-off when it concluded in 2010.

Kay has been in Toronto for the past week prepping for the 13-episode Series, which films in the City through September.

We spotted Kay out and about on Holiday Good Friday, kindly stopping for a quick second for a Snap as he chat on his phone. He was all smiles enjoying a day off after what appears to be a busy week getting to know and work with his mew Co-Stars.  Just last night, he was out having drinks with Zachary Levi, Judith Shekoni and Ryan Guzman.

Earlier in this week, Levi had Tweeted this  awesome Cast Pic, minus the v. sweet Gatlin Green:
