Known best for his work in Eastbound and Down, MADtv and more recently Neighbors and The Mindy Project, Funnyman Ike Barinholtz now  sets his sights on Film with recent news of his casting in David Ayer‘s Suicide Squad. The Film based on DC Comics’ popular Comic Book Series, sees a group of imprisoned Superheroes tasked with dangerous Black Ops missions in exchange for clemency.

Word is that Ayer (End of Watch, Training Day) will have his Cast go to some deep, dark places as the Film begins filming tomorrow in Toronto.

Barinholtz was spotted out and about earlier today doing a quick grocery run, stopping for a moment to take Photos with Fans, noticeably fitter and almost unrecognizable in his Aviator sunglasses. The Cast this weekend were spotted partying at Sound Academy on Will Smith‘s tab, one last hurrah before they head to work this week.

See Will Smith rap at the Party, video courtesy of Co-Star Jim Parrack. Could this be signs of new material from him on the Soundtrack?

Stars Scott Eastwood and Cara Delevingne appeared to be absent, the former partying at Coachella right now, after an aggressive Promo Tour for The Longest Ride and the latter attending MTV Movie Awards festivities in Los Angeles. Jared Leto was spotted sporting his green Joker hair proudly on the streets earlier this afternoon as well!

While we’ve got a while to go till July, this exciting new Teaser from ANT-MAN will quench our thirsts! See this new Preview for the first full Trailer for the Film, which surfaces tomorrow! This Spot premiered during the MTV Movie Awards!

Official Synopsis:

The next evolution of the Marvel Cinematic Universe brings a founding member of The Avengers to the big screen for the first time with Marvel Studios’ “Ant-Man” when master thief Scott Lang must embrace his inner-hero and help his mentor, Dr. Hank Pym, protect the secret behind his spectacular Ant-Man suit from a new generation of towering threats.

See the new Teaser:

For a second straight week, FURIOUS 7 towers over the competition (which have some peculiarly suggestive names) with $62.7 million for Universal Pictures, good enough to surpass already the $250 million mark domestically in just TWO WEEKS!  The record for best second Box Office weekend for a Film previously was held by The Hunger Games with $58.5 million and a new mark has been set.

HOME lands in second this weekend, going strong still in its third week out with $19.7 million for 20th Century Fox.  Thus far, it has grossed $130 million in its run.

THE LONGEST RIDE  starring Scott Eastwood and Britt Robertson, opens a respectable third with $13 million for 20th Century Fox.  And while Critics failed to be charmed with a 29% on the Tomatometer, Audiences gave it a resounding ‘yes’ with a coveted A CinemaScore which could only help it in coming weeks as word of mouth spreads.

GET HARD finds itself in fourth spot in its third week out with $8.2 million for Warner Bros.  In three weeks, it has made $70 million already.

WOMAN IN GOLD is in seventh with $5.7 million, expanding to 1,504 theatres in it second week for eOne Films/The Weinstein Co. 

KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE rounds-out the Top Ten with $1.2 million for 20th Century Fox in its ninth week out.  To date, it has grossed $125 million.

How could you not love this Guy!  If you love 2 Broke Girls, then you will recognize who exactly Jonathan Kite is.  The Funnyman currently is in Toronto for a three-day engagement at Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Club and in his visit here, the Actor/Comedian who plays  Kitchen Lothario, Oleg on the Series, has been busy promoting the Series and his work.

As fate would have it last night, we got a flat tire but this gave us an opportunity to meet Kite, who actually is nothing like his Character, but totally awesome!

It’s not too late to see him in action as he plays two more Shows tonight at the Comedy Club!

See our Snap:

Flat tire? No problem! Still got time for a Celeb Selfie! Meet the hilarious @JBkite, star of #2BrokeGirls, in #Toronto for an engagement at #YukYuks! #JonathanKite

The 40th annual Sovereign Awards, organized by the Jockey Club of Canada and hosted by Jason Portuondo, were held at Woodbine Racetrack tonight, honouring the best in Canadian Horse Racing in 2014. Some of the Industry’s most recognizable faces came to celebrate the occasion as the 2015 Racing Season at Woodbine commences this weekend after a four-month break over the Winter.

Earning top honours tonight, which came as no surprise, was the standout Filly LEXIE LOU, who not only won the Country’s two most prestigious races for three-year-olds, the Woodbine Oaks and the Queen’s Plate, but also ran a valiant second in the Hollywood Derby to American Horse of the Year, CALIFORNIA CHROME. She also would be awarded the Nation’s top Three-Year-Old Filly and also Outstanding Female Turf Horse. On-hand to receive the Award for Owner and Hollywood Film Producer Gary Barber, was Trainer Mark Casse who for the eighth consecutive year was awarded Outstanding Trainer in Canada.

Upon accepting his Award for Trainer, Casse made an emotional speech which would see him overcome with sadness in recalling the loss of one of his Stable Stars, CONQUEST TWO STEP who had been euthanized earlier this week after a fatal injury and also the loss of his dear Friend, Mike Anderson. Despite all his success, LEXIE LOU would be the first Horse with whom he would win the prestigious Queen’s Plate. With his Wife Tina and son Colt in attendance, Casse announced that he plans to bring his star Filly back to Woodbine for at least a couple turf races this meet, culminating in the Breeders’ Cup at Keeneland in Lexington, Kentucky this Fall. Casse‘s Trainees would go-on tonight to win Champion Turf Male (DYNAMIC SKY), Champion Female Sprinter (HILLABY), Champion Two-Year-Old Male (CONQUEST TYPHOON) and Champion Two-Year-Old Female (CONQUEST HARLANATE). The Chicago-based Owners of the latter two, Ernie Semersky and Dory Newell, better known as Conquest Stables also flew-in for the occasion, tearfully accepting their Awards with pride.  Newell expressed gratitude to me at how quick their success has been.

PATRICK HUSBANDS earned his eighth Outstanding Jockey Award tonight, giving thanks to the top Owners he rides for and also Mark Casse, whom he likens to a Father in mentoring him.  The  Jockey among other stellar mounts was responsible for LEXIE LOU‘s greatest wins.

Although Oilman JOHN C. OXLEY wasn’t able to attend, his Trainer Casse accepted on his behalf, winning Outstanding Owner for a third time.  Among his biggest Stars last Season were SKY CAPTAIN, SPRING IN THE AIR, DIXIE TWIST and NORTHERN PASSION.

Sam-Son Farms would get awarded Outstanding Breeder for an eighth time, after a successful Season which saw many of their Homebreds go-on to great success including Nominee DECEPTIVE VISION, HIS RACE TO WIN, ALDOUS SNOW and last year’s Horse of the Year, UP WITH THE BIRDS.

SHEENA RYAN was awarded Outstanding Apprentice after a successful year, attending with her Family and Partner Gary Edwards who just arrived from Dubai after some work there with famous Godolphin Racing.

Others in attendance included the likes of Trainer John LeBlanc who was nominated for Two-Year-Old Male with PHIL’S COCKTAIL.  He showed us new Photos of upcoming Stable Star, the simply-named Canadian Premier Yearling Sales Topper MIKE, a Half-Brother to Millionaire Champion PENDER HARBOUR who has shown amazing consistency and longevity.

Owner/Trainer John Ross, who was responsible for developing LEXIE LOU before she was sold to Gary Barber, received a much-due thanks from Casse.  He and his Wife Cathy are excited about their Three-Year-Olds R U WATCHING BUD and  the incredibly-talented BROOKLYNSWAY who tallied second in Two-Year-Old Filly voting to CONQUEST HARLANATE.

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.
