UNIVERSAL PICTURES CANADA and MR. WILL WONG are thrilled for the first time to give you the chance to win one of 5 Admit Two Passes to the Advance Promo Screening of KICK-ASS 2 on Wednesday, August 14^th 7:00PM at SilverCity Yonge & Eglinton.

We were there on-set last Fall as Kick-Ass 2 filmed in our City and we couldn’t be happier to take you to see the Action-Comedy first!  Read about it all here.

Official Synopsis below:

Kick-Ass, Hit Girl and Red Mist return for the follow-up to 2010’s irreverent global hit: Kick-Ass 2. After Kick-Ass’ (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes (Jim Carrey), our Hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur Superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) — reborn as The Mother F %&*^r—only the blade-wielding Hit Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) can prevent their annihilation.

When we last saw junior Assassin Hit Girl and young Vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal Teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world’s first Superhero Team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she’s forced to retire — leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school Mean Girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-Mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes.

Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world’s first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil League and puts a plan in motion to make Kick-Ass and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his Dad. But there’s only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.

Kick-Ass 2 stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Chloë Grace Moretz, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Morris Chestnut,
John Leguizamo, Donald Faison and Jim Carrey.

He’s a Star of the Ice, and today he was a Star of Ice… Cream!  The Toronto Maple Leafs’ Alternative Captain Joffrey Lupul was turning-up the heat over at the Magnum Pleasure Shop (11 Bloor Street West) today, doing a round of Interviews on premises.  Shortly after 12:00 PM the doors were opened and a flood of Fans, primarily Female and dressed in their Leafs jerseys, came through the Shop getting a chance to meet the #19 Hunk.  Make no mistake though, Fans big and small were accommodated as he graciously signed hats and jerseys for his youngest Supporters first.

Lupul is a Man of taste and as a fellow “Pleasure Seeker”, he dishes to me what he likes on his own customized Magnum Ice Cream Bar.  “I put Maple Canadian Fudge, Popcorn and Chocolate on mine!”, he tells me as a crowd of Fans inched closer towards him.

Those of you who haven’t had a chance yet to check-out the Pop-Up Shop will be thrilled to know that based on its overwhelmingly positive reception (there are Line-ups out the door daily!), it will remain open now till the end of August.   Even that still is not long enough as several hoping the Pleasure Shop will become a permanent fixture in the City. Myself included.

What did I put on my Ice Cream Bar?  My taste buds went into overdrive with my combination of Sea Salt, Dark Chocolate, Coconut, Macadamia Nuts, Almonds and Chili Flakes, topped with a few Parisian Macaron Crumbs.  Did I mentioned the real Gold Flakes sprinkled on top?  TDF. To die for!

“We’ve lost Houston, we’ve lost Houston“.

Okay, they’ve definitely got our attention. After it being confirmed for a Premiere at TIFF ’13 on Tuesday, we’ve all been googling Alfonso Cuarón‘s Sci-Fi Thriller, Gravity, starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock. The Film centers on Astronauts who attempt to return to Earth after debris crashes into their space shuttle, leaving them drifting alone in orbit.

Watch the gripping (pardon the pun!) Teaser below:

Warner Bros. Canada and Mr. Will Wong are thrilled to give Readers a chance to win a Double Pass to Advance Screenings of We’re The Millers across Canada including Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Halifax, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver on Thursday, August 1, 2013.

If you haven’t yet seen the hilarious Red-Band Trailer for We’re The Millers, I insist you do so.  All I have to say is Jennifer Aniston‘s Stripper moves and an amazing Homage to TLC‘s Smash Hit, Waterfalls have me obsessed.   Sold!

Official Synopsis below:

David Burke (Jason Sudeikis) is a small-time Pot Dealer whose Clientele includes Chefs and Soccer Moms, but no kids—after all, he has his scruples. So what could go wrong? Plenty. Preferring to keep a low profile for obvious reasons, he learns the hard way that no good deed goes unpunished when he tries to help out some local Teens and winds up getting jumped by a trio of gutter Punks. Stealing his stash and his cash, they leave him in major debt to his supplier, Brad (Ed Helms). In order to wipe the slate clean—and maintain a clean bill of health—David must now become a big-time Drug Smuggler by bringing Brad‘s latest Shipment in from Mexico. Twisting the arms of his Neighbours, cynical Stripper Rose (Jennifer Aniston) and wannabe Customer Kenny (Will Poulter), and the tatted-and-pierced streetwise Teen Casey (Emma Roberts), he devises a foolproof Plan. One fake Wife, two Pretend Kids and a huge, shiny RV later, the “Millers” are headed south of the Border for a Fourth of July weekend that is sure to end with a bang!

We’re The Millers also stars: Nick Offerman, Kathryn Hahn, Thomas Lennon, and Ed Helms.

It’s a Boy!  A future King!  William & Kate entered St. Mary’s Hospital in London earlier today, flying under the radar of Photographers, and we are thrilled to learn that she has birthed a Baby Boy, weighing-in at 8lbs 6oz.  He was born at 4:24 PM Local Time.  

While we’re all still digesting this exciting bit of news, we learned today that the third-in-line to the British Throne will be known as Prince George Alexander Louis.   If that doesn’t sould regal, I don’t know what does. Amazing news!  We’re witnessing History!

We love sassy Women and Lisa Rinna has long been on our list of Women we admire.  Melrose Place, Days of Our Lives and Celebrity Apprentice are just a few of the Series we have witnessed her fire and she will not be forgotten.  The Actress/Author/TV Personality is in town for a couple days co-hosting Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition) and looked amazing today discussing Current Affairs  like Cory Monteith‘s recent passing and the Royal Baby.  On the matter of making illegal the online posting online of suggestive Photos of others without permission, Rinna told Host Leslie Roberts, “As a Mother of two young Girls, more than ever I’m all for it”. Although not yet available, you can check their Website later for Video.

Later this morning by chance, we spotted her out and about in Yorkville this morning on a walk. Caught off-guard, she was recognized in her sunglasses looking back at  Billy and me.  “Of course, we can only take a Photo if your Dog is in it too”, she says.  Fans of Rinna will know that she’s an avid Dog Lover, being the Owner of beloved Rottweiler, Lola.

Fans and Autograph Collectors were out and about hoping for a glimpse of Rinna earlier today following her The Morning Show appearance.  For some reason she had opted for an Underground Exit, leaving in a cab and throwing a couple waves as they pleaded for her to roll down her window.  Disappointed, there were several carefully-chosen 8×10s left unsigned as she was driven off. Rinna and her Husband Harry Hamlin are slated to appear again on the Show tomorrow.
