He was the first personage with powers to don tights and toss troubles aside. He led the way to a new age, one filled with hope beyond belief, as well as unparalleled despair. Considered to be more than a man it is interesting to note that he is not a man at all. Certainly in appearance, the eye would argue this point vehemently. Nevertheless he is from a far away planet no longer in existence. Torn asunder by wars both natural and otherwise he was forced to flee whilst still a suckling babe. Arriving here on earth he was reared by parents fitting to be called such, for they loved him as their own. Clark they called him, though Kal-El he was in the flesh. Different from everyone else he wrestled a lifetime with this reality. Odd when you think about it. Why would a god worry so? Only a man would raise such a question, and as it has already been stated, Kal-El is neither god nor man. He is a being known by many titles, and yet truly known by very few. He is the embodiment of an ideal so intimidating it borders on offensive. But beautiful it is in fact, and beautiful this movie about the mythos appears to be.

Zack Snyder has never failed when it comes to film. Perhaps financially, but never artistically, and the artist is at last ready to unveil his latest masterpiece. Feast your eyes on the splendour. Man of Steel is coming.

Hunks in the Kitchen! What’s not to like about that?  Hailing from New Jersey, Cousins Anthony Carrino and John Colaneri are making a splash for the fantastic work they do, making the dreams of deserving Americans come true.  You won’t believe your eyes some of the Transformations that have taken place under their expertise!

The Kitchen Cousins got their start running their Family-owned Company and while our Friends south of the Border know all about them, their brand new Series Cousins on Call is set to debut on HGTV Canada next Monday, April 22, 2013 at 10:00 PM on HGTV Canada.  The first Season of the Series is highlighted by their heartwarming journey helping (together with Ellen DeGeneres) a Couple  who moved into their new home only 45 days before Hurricane Sandy destroyed their home. More affecting, they also were expecting their first Child.  Khloe Kardashian also surprises her Husband Lamar also on one episode!

I caught-up with the friendly Hunks after their appearance on Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition) and their kind Publicist was awesome to help take our Snap.  Needless to say they were smitten with Billy!

Texas Chainsaw 3D continues the legendary story of the homicidal Sawyer family, picking up where Tobe Hooper’s 1974 Horror Classic left off in Newt, Texas. Decades later and hundreds of miles away from the original massacre, a young woman named Heather learns that she has inherited a Texas estate from a Grandmother she never knew she had. After embarking on a road trip with friends to uncover her roots, she finds she is the sole owner of a lavish, isolated Victorian Mansion. But her newfound wealth comes at a price as she stumbles upon a horror that awaits her in the Mansion’s dank cellars.

Special appearances from four beloved cast members from previous installments of the Franchise: Gunnar Hansen, Marilyn Burns, John Dugan and Bill Moseley.

 In an outrageous send up of the Paranormal Activity Movies, The Devil Inside and other “found footage” Movies, A HAUNTED HOUSE features young Couple Malcolm (Marlon Wayans) and Kisha (Essence Atkins) who have just moved into their dream house. As they settle in, they quickly find they’re not alone. But it’s not the house that’s haunted; it’s Malcolm‘s Girlfriend who is possessed by a Demon. Malcolm hires everyone from a priest to modern day Ghostbusters to rid her of this unwelcome intruder, determined not to let the evil spirit ruin his relationship… or, more importantly, his sex life.

Although they formed six years ago, Twin Sister Duo Heathers finally are getting their big break, starting with Canada first in their North American debut. 22-year-olds Ellie and Louise Macnamara hail from Dublin, Ireland. Although their Folk-Rock influences range from Bruce Springsteen to Simon & Garfunkel, they are avid Pop Fans through and through. “We listen to a lot of Pop like Katy Perry“, Ellie tells me. “We love Katy Perry and everything to Santigold and even Nicki Minaj.”.  They’d even go as far as to describe their new sound as being “dancey”.

As part of their Promotion today in support of brand new Disc Kingdom, select Media got to tour Toronto with Heathers on a Sightseeing Trolley Tour around the City where even longtime Torontonians like me learned some interesting facts about our City.  For example, I had no clue the CN Tower is built on man-made land. For real!

Although the Sisters have been here for a couple days, they admit to loving Toronto and with their schedule filled with work, work, work, tomorrow they will be taking some time out to peruse the Fashions of Queen Street. “We did check-out Eaton Centre and enjoyed some Frozen Yogurt!”, although sadly they not get much shopping done.

In the meantime, enjoy their fantastic new Single Forget Me Knots:

It’s alright not to feel okay, indeed.  Who can relate?

An Instagram account is to come soon. They promised!  In the meantime, follow them on Twitter here.

Heathers play The Supermarket tomorrow night at 9:00 PM. Kingdom is now available in stores via Sony Music Canada.

Rock Icon Stevie Nicks descended upon Toronto in support of her new Documentary In Your Dreams, her latest Solo Disc, produced by Dave Stewart (Eurythmics).  Clocking in at over two-and-a-half hours, the Film takes us into Nicks‘ home, giving us insight into her creative process and challenges.

Nicks walked the Red Carpet at the Venue tonight, interviewing with a few select Outlets, before being met with warm reception as Vinyl Sleeves for her Rumours Album with Fleetwood Mac were thrust her way.  Only few were lucky enough to secure a Personalization, while several came away empty-handed.

Some were surprised to see our v. own Kim Coates (Sons of Anarchy) attending the Event and he was super-nice to stop for a quick Snap, telling me, “I love Stevie Nicks!” as he glanced over at her in awe on the Red Carpet.

After surprising us by filming for a role on Global Television‘s Bomb Girls recently, Daytime Television Icon and multiple EMMY Award Winner Rosie O’Donnell was in Toronto to do good for an important cause.  In support of PFLAG (Parents, Family, Friends of Lesbians and Gays),  a Gala was held tonight at Mirvish Theatre with proceeds going towards Programs including a 24/7 Telephone Support Line, monthly Support Meetings for those who are LGBTQ, their Families and Friends, and Presentations in Schools, Universities and Businesses to promote Diversity.

Honoured tonight with an Ally Award was O’Donnell‘s dear Friend, Actress Sharon Gless (Cagney & Lacey, Queer as Folk).  In past years, the Actress has voiced her support for the LGBTQ Community and the Award is designated to someone who identifies him/herself as being Heterosexual and in support of Gay Rights and Equality.  Gless stars currently in TV Series, Burn Notice.

I caught-up with both O’Donnell and Gless who were amazing enough to stop for a quick Snap before heading off to a celebratory Dinner.  Both were in great spirits and had every right to be as they are both supporting something amazing!

Already a star-studded day in Toronto, Canadian-born Crooner Paul Anka was out and about today cross-promoting his Memoir My Way and latest Disc Classic Songs, My Way. He may 71-years-of-age, but he’s definitely still got the energy, aggressively in promotion mode doing an entire day of Press which saw him on Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition) and at CBC for most of the afternoon for tapings including Q Radio and George Stroumboulopoulos Tonight.

The former Teen Icon and overall brilliant Singer/Songwriter is known best for his own Hits Lonely Boy and My Home Town, but has also penned some Classics in the American Songbook including Frank Sinatra‘s My Way and Tom Jones’ She’s a Lady.

The support was overwhelming for Anka as he exited the CBC Building today swarmed by Autograph Seekers and starstruck Passersby.  Being the example of grace he is, none were left disappointed as she signed his signature generously despite the intense vibe.
