#FIRSTLOOK: “MISSION IMPOSSIBLE: ROGUE NATION”
We do love our Tom Cruise. A new Teaser for the newly-named fifth installment of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE has just been released and we’re loving every minute of its two minutes. There’s humour thanks to Simon Pegg (camouflaged as a bush!), adrenaline (that plane door better open quick, Tom!) and the Franchise’s signature style – set to The Fugees’ Ready or Not – and that’s why Fans keep coming back for more!

#SPOTTED: RILEY KEOUGH IN TORONTO FILMING “THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE”
Actress, Model and Newlywed Riley Keough is prepared to make an impact with her debut starring role in THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE. The new 13-episode Series produced by Steven Soderbergh is based on the 2009 Film of the same name.
Keough has been in Toronto the past few weeks with her Husband, Stunt Professional Ben Smith-Petersen (seen above), whom she married just weeks before production began. Their adorable French Bulldog, Grubs, happens to have his own Instagram account and has been giving Mommy tons of emotional support we see!
Grubs Smith
As per Variety Magazine, THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE will delve into the world of high-end Escorts who provide not only sex but also companionship experiences for their clients. The half-hour Series will revolve around a Woman working as a “GFE,” as these services as known, as she encounters different clients and experiences.
If Keough‘s face looks strangely familiar, you definitely have seen before her iconic features. She is the eldest Granddaughter or Rock’n’Roll Legend Elvis and Priscilla Presley and also the Daughter of Rock Star Lisa-Marie Presley and Musician Danny Keough. That aside, you’ve seen her grace the pages of Vogue, plus roles in high-profile Films like The Runaways, Magic Mike and you next can see her in Mad Max: Fury Road alongside Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron.
The Extreme Cold Alert might have returned after a day or two of Spring-line weather, but Keough was all warmth, kindly stopping after wrapping filming in the West End of the City today. Like many other Stars who film here, she has adopted the popular uniform of a Canada Goose Parka to endure these unforgiving temperatures.

Coleman proved to be rather popular at this year’s Event, drawing long lines for Photo Ops and Autographs, while also taking the time to work the Morning Show circuit in the City, including visits to Global Television‘s The Morning Show and KISS 92.5‘s The Roz & Mocha Show.
Being an avid Supporter of Toronto COMICON, we were delighted to hear that our Idol Doherty would be coming this year and would not miss the chance for a rare Photo Opportunity with the Actress known best for her star-making Roles as Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210 and Prue Halliwell on Charmed.

#SPOTTED: RICKY GERVAIS IN TORONTO FOR “SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS”
English Actor, Musician, Writer, Director, Animal Rights Activist and overall amazing person Ricky Gervais has landed! Although he was in town recently location scouting for new Film SPECIAL CORRESPONDENTS, the Funnyman is back for a quick visit to prepare for production on the Film. The Wartime Satire is an Adaptation of the French Film of the same name.
Many of us know him for his work on the British version of The Office, a string of successful Films in North America including Muppets Most Wanted and acclaimed Netflix Series Derek, but the three-time Golden Globes Host is tirelessly raising awareness via Social Media for ethical treatment of Animals and in 2013 was named PETA‘s Person of the Year.
Gervais arrived from England in Toronto tonight with his longtime Partner, Author Jane Fallon. Both were all smiles after a long flight, stopping graciously for Photos with Fans before heading into their SUV. Despite his joking about his weight gain on Social Media, Gervais looked great, rocking a New York Yankees Ballcap!
For a glimpse of what the original Special Correspondents looked like, watch this:
Special Correspondents, which also stars Eric Bana, is set to Film around Toronto mid-May though mid-June and will be released via Sony Pictures.

#BOXOFFICE: “INSURGENT” OVERTHROWS THE BOX OFFICE WITH #1 DEBUT
Like its Predecessor, THE DIVERGENT SERIES: INSURGENT opens big at the Box Office with $49.6 million from 3,875 theatres across North America for eOne Films/Lionsgate Films. Critics didn’t think much of it with a 32% on Rotten Tomatoes’ Tomatometer, while Audiences gave it an A- CinemaScore. By contrast its 2014 Installment opened with $54 million.
In its second consecutive week out, CINDERELLA continues to perform exceedingly well with $35.7 million earned for Disney. In two weeks, it has accumulated $123 million already domestically, already earning back its production costs.
A distant third is THE GUNMAN $5.5 million from 2,816 theatres for Open Road Films/Elevation Pictures. The Film features a strong Cast which includes Sean Penn, Idris Elba and Javier Bardem. While Critics panned the Action Flick from the Director who brought us Taken, earning only 14% on the Tomatometer, Audiences gave it a much more forgiving B- CinemaScore.
THE KINGSMAN continues to outperform itself in fourth this week with $4.8 million in its sixth week out for 20th Century Fox.
Debuting in sixth is DO YOU BELIEVE with $3.5 million for Pure Flix. The Title starring Mira Sorvino and Sean Astin has yet to get Canadian distribution.
Former Champ CHAPPIE rounds-out the Top Ten with $2.5 million for Sony Pictures in its third week. To date domestically it has earned $28 million.
#NEWMUSIC: MEGHAN TRAINOR – “DEAR FUTURE HUSBAND”
We love our Meghan Trainor and we were thrilled to hear she’s picked a Track we LOVE from her #1-selling debut, TITLE! Dear Future Husband might be short and sweet, but it sure is an Earworm!
