For fun, Canada’s favourite Coffee & Doughnut Chain Tim Hortons took Actor Jason Priestley‘s idea of cramming a Timbit (Donut Hole) within a Doughnut so much, that they created a Creation  in his honour, The Priestley.  Essentially, they take a Chocolate Timbit and bake it inside a Strawberry Vanilla Doughnut, as the jelly filling enrobes the Timbit after hearing about his idea originally on Twitter.

Priestley, who soon will be in Toronto for David Mamet‘s political Play Race between April and May, was ecstatic upon receiving the Tweet from Tim Hortons, replying “Thank you Tim Hortons!!! This is the proudest day of my life!!! A doughnut named after me at Timmie‘s?? #bestdayever”.

Now, if the Marketing Department truly were savvy, they’d start approaching other notable Canadian Celebrities for Doughnut of the Month-type Collaborations.  Could you imagine a crunchy Potato Chip-topped Doughnut by Celine Dion?  Shania‘s favourite fruits-filled Donut?  Genius!

Right in time for Valentine’s Day! P!nk has just released the gorgeous new Video for her latest Track, Just Give Me a Reason ft. Nate Ruess of fun. Although the Ballad veers a little more towards the fun. side (it was co-written with Ruess) than that signature Pop/Rock P!nk is known for, it definitely is one of the stronger Tracks on her U.S. Billboard Hot 200 Chart-topping The Truth About Love.

Just Give Me a Reason is taking a bit longer to catch-on in the U.S., but Canada sees its potential, already at number 61 on the Canadian Hot 100.

“We need some sort of Grand Illusion”.

We all need campy fun now and then. The Incredible Burt Wonderstone stars Steve Carell in the Titular Role as a Magician who splits with his Partner after a guerilla Street Magician steals their thunder. After spending time with his childhood Idol, Burt realizes what it is that made him love Magic so much in the first place!  Think Zoolander, but with Magicians and Tricks instead of Runways!

Directed by Don Scardino (30 Rock, Royal Pains), The Incredible Burt Wonderstone also stars Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin, Jim Carrey, Steve Buscemi, Brad Garrett and James Gandolfini.

Approximately 160 Nominees gathered  to attend the annual Luncheon in advance of the 85th Academy Awards, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel today in Los Angeles. The Event, considered a Rite of Passage for Hollywood’s Elite, is highlighted by a Nominees Group Portrait.  Attending this year included the likes of Ben Affleck, Jessica Chastain, Bradley Cooper, Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, Naomi Watts and several more.

According the Oscars Producer Craig Zadan, a focus this year will be placed on eliminating small time-consuming lags, which consistently drive the Ceremony into Overtime and just generally everyone watching into Panic Mode.  He says, “You start adding up those 30 seconds, and you have an accumulation of time that you can use for Entertainment. So that’s what we’re doing. We’re learning a lot about the things that we don’t need in the show.  The main goal is to honor the Nominees and the Winners.”. 

This remains to be seen as hopefully we won’t have to deal with the embarassing sight of the Orchestra playing as Hathaway forcefully zips her way through that one Speech she’s waited her whole life to make!

The Oscars air on ABC Sunday February 24, 2013 at 7:00 PM EST.

The amazing Katherine LaNasa might be a familiar face. She’s built a solid Career based on Television and Film Work, including turns on NYPD Blue, Judging Amy, Justice and Two and a Half Men.  More recently, she starred in 2012 Box Office Hit The Campaign as Cam Brady’s (Will Ferrell) delightfully funny Wife, Rose.  Later this year she will be seen in Thriller  The Frozen Ground alongside John Cusack, 50 Cent and Nicolas Cage.  The Film is based on true events surrounding the Hunt for Alaskan Serial Killer Robert Hansen.

LaNasa currently stars in NBC‘s Deception as Sophia Bowers.  The Primetime Soap stars Argo Alumni Victor Garber and Tate Donovan, while Meagan Good plays the starring Role of Joanna, a Detective who finds herself welcomed into the wealthy Family of her Best Friend, Vivian who dies mysteriously of an Overdose.

I caught-up with the lovely LaNasa (just at TIFF last September for Jayne Mansfield’s Car) whose Actor Husband Grant Show (Melrose Place) was by her side, as she exited Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition).  The still-handsome Show was nice enough to offer to take a Snap of us and after chatting with his Wife, I noticed her posing with an injured Middle Finger, which was dressed colourfully in a Cast and Ribbon.  “This is my Gay Pride Finger, do you like it?”, she asks.  I joked back, “Yes, I totally feel represented!”, which she laughed at before heading into her SUV.   She revealed that she hurt her Finger filming the Season Finale of Deception recently.   Now that’s really digging into your Role!  Champ.

LaNasa is in Toronto the entire week Co-Hosting  the popular Program between 9:00 AM to 9:30 AM EST.

Global Television airs Deception Monday nights at 9:00 PM EST/PAC.  Click here for more.

Canadian-born Actor/Musician Bruce Greenwood has solidified his standing as a certified Screen Veteran, having built a long and lasting career with work in some of Hollywood’s biggest Blockbusters all the way to the smaller Canadian Indies.  You’ve seen him in National Treasure: Book of Secrets, I, Robot, Double Jeopardy, Super 8 and Star Trek, but he’s long been at it, making his screen debut back in 1982’s First Blood starring Sylvester Stallone.  You’ve also seen him in Atom Egoyan‘s The Sweet Hereafter.

Greenwood  who was born in Noranda, Quebec and is based out of Los Angeles, returned  to Toronto today once again for a round of Press in support of the DVD/Blu-ray release of  Flight.  The Drama which has him starring alongside Denzel Washington, is up for two Oscars including Writing and Best Actor, seeing a release tomorrow.  Amazon‘s got it available for only $14.99!

The Actor was up and at ’em early today, appearing on multiple editions of City‘s Breakfast Television from Toronto to Vancouver, before heading-off for more appearances, including a visit to CBC for George Stromboulopoulos Tonight.

Thrilled to get a Snap with the still-lookin’-great Greenwood who has a busy 2013 ahead with the release of The Place Beyond the Pines (March), Star Trek Into Darkness (May) and another re-teaming with Egoyan in Devil’s Knot (TIFF 2013?!!?).  Another Thriller Wildlike does not yet have a scheduled date.

Watch Greenwood‘s Interview on Breakfast Television Toronto right here.

Beyoncé. Love on Top. Crazy in Love.  End of Time. Baby Boy. Single Ladies. A Destiny’s Child Reunion. Halo. An Exploding Guitar. Live Singing.  These are some of the things that the 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show was comprised of!

Let’s re-live Queen B‘s phenomenal 2013 Super Bowl Halftime Show again in full right here.

Let’s face it. I know little about Football, so every year I hear the words “Super” and “Bowl” my not-so-secretly get excited about one, the famous Halftime Show and what Wardrobe Malfunction/Lipsynching Controversies might occur and two, how entertaining the TV Spots will be!

True to form, Advertisers pull out all the stops to create an impression on us and here are some of the biggest Winners for me this year – in particular the adorable Goat 4 Sale TV Spot from Doritos being the clear winner:

…and only because I love Horses. This Budweiser Spot almost made me cry. Tons of War Horse references here.

Zombie-RomCom Warm Bodies heats-up the Box Office, taking the top spot of the North American Box Office with a stellar $19 million for Summit Entertainment/Lionsgate Films/eOne Films this Super Bowl Weekend. The Montreal-filmed Adaptation of the Isaac Marion Novel, struck a chord with Moviegoers, fulfilling their needs for a February Romance, while also providing laughs amidst the Winter Blahs at once.  CinemaScore gave it a B+, while the Critics at Rotten Tomatoes tallied-in at 76% on the Tomatoeter. The Film was made  for $30 million from 3,009 theatres, meaning some massive profits for the Studio and the possibility of further installments to come – perhaps an Adaptation of its recently-released Prequel?

Last week’s Champ Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters continues to perform well in second with $9.2 million from 3,375 theatres for Paramount Pictures. In two weeks, it has grossed over $34 million domestically.  Worldwide it is on its way to surpassing the $100 million-mark.

Silver Linings Playbook continues to benefit from its Oscars boost, landing in third with $8.1 million. Coincidentally, the RomCom also has a Football theme, tying-in perhaps to the Super Bowl this weekend.  It also surpasses the $80 million mark domestically for The Weinstein Co./Alliance Films (eOne Films) and Pundits are forecasting it passing the $100-million mark.

Toronto-filmed Mama continues exceeds all expectations, still a major player at the Box Office after two weeks.  The Horror earns $6.7 million in fourth for Universal Pictures/eOne Films, a cumulative total of $53.8 million to date.  Jessica Chastain who stars in this  and also Zero Dark Thirty, is right behind herself in fifth with $5.3 million, almost surpassing the $80 million-mark domestically.

In sixth is Bullet to the Head with $4.5 million for Warner Bros./eOne Films. The Sylvester Stallone-starring Action Flick didn’t fare as well with Critics, earning 48% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer, but Audiences responded fairly well with a B- CinemaScore.

Rounding-out the Top Ten this weekend are Best Picture Contenders and Veterans: Django Unchained, Les Misérables and Lincoln, taking-in $3, $2.41 and $2.4 respectively.
