In just over a year, Netflix Original Series ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK quickly has taken over the World by storm. The ever-popular craze of Bingewatching not only has Fans under house arrest, but quickly it is making Stars out of up-and-coming Actors equally.

Transgender Actress Laverne Cox plays Sophia Burset on the Series, perhaps my favourite of many likeable Characters in the Cast. Just appearing on the cover of TIME Magazine earlier this month – with the distinction of being the first-ever Transgender person to do so – she is in town to appear tonight at an In Conversation With at TIFF Bell Lightbox as part of the World Pride Festivities taking over the City this week. More here.

In addition to acting and looking fabulous always, Cox writes occasionally for The Huffington Post and is an ardent Advocate of Transgender Rights.

Cox graced the Morning Show circuit this morning, appearing bright and early at KISS 92.5‘s The Roz & Mocha Show where Fans were moved to tears by her inspiring words. Shortly after, she made her way to Global Television’s The Morning Show (National Edition). Fans were left disappointed though as Cox opted for Loading Docks and Underground Garages. We were lucky enough to catch-up with an on-the-go Cox who made an exception for one Fan Photo. We are on cloud nine that Billy and I got to meet her.

Netflix streams both Season One and Two of ORANGE IS THE NEW BLACK, available now!

Season 10 Big Brother Champ Dan Gheesling certainly has built quite the following here in Canada. The Michigan Native who was a Catholic School Teacher prior to his fame, has visited Toronto on multiple occasions and currently he is in town to co-host Global Television‘s The Morning Show for the week.

We were fortunate to meet him on his way into the Studio today and both he and his Wife Chelsea were kind enough to stop for a quick second.

Season 16 of Big Brother premieres on Global Television tonight at 8:00 PM.

Model/Actress/Director and Spokesperson Shenae Grimes-Beech needs little introduction as Toronto long has been proud of its Homegirl. The Star of 90210 and Degrassi: The Next Generation has kept busy with a string of work including recently Toronto-filmed Final Exam, in which she stars opposite Pretty Little Liars’ Keegan Allen.

Grimes-Beech is in Toronto right now, carrying out duties as Spokesperson for Montreal-originated Annabelle Cosmetics. Tonight, she celebrates her Collaboration with the Company at an exclusive Party with Beauty Bloggers on Bay Street.

Appearing on City‘s Breakfast Television and Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition), she maintained her poise despite the miserable rains, looking flawless with her peach-coloured locks tied neatly into a bun.  Note how she is wearing her Jacket – arms-free – a trend we noticed on It-Girl Nicola Peltz, Star of Transformers: Age of Extinction, the other day in Toronto too!

Actor/Writer/Producer Dean Cain returned to Toronto today to promote his appearance this weekend at the Niagara Falls Comic Con. Known best for his work on popular mid-90s TV Series Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman in which he starred opposite Teri Hatcher.

One-part French-Canadian Cain has maintained his profile steadily with a litany of TV credits to his name including Las Vegas, hosting Ripley’s Believe it or Not!, Hit the Floor and succesful The Dog Who Saved… Series of Movies.

Dapper and suited, a super-friendly Cain appeared on The Morning Show (National Edition) on which he served as Co-Host today. He took a quick moment to say “hi” to Fans after his appearance and we managed to get this long-wanted Snap:

With 12 number one Singles and a flawless trail of Chart-topping Albums to their name, Country Music Trio Rascal Flatts might know a thing or three about surviving the Music Industry. Hailing originally from Ohio, they achieved Nashville dreams in a huge way receiving a Grammy Award for Best Country Song, Bless the Broken Road (which I actually sang at a Wedding once!) and a Star even on the Walk of Fame. Today they were in Toronto to promote their ninth Studio Disc, Rewind.

Comprised of Members Gary LeVox, Jay DeMarcus and Joe Rooney,  the Trio made visits to CTV‘s Canada AM where they performed live on their Soundstage this morning. They also pretaped an Interview to air at a later date on Global Television‘s The Morning Show. Despite traveling in separate vehicles, the three were kind to group together for a Selfie I’ll never forget! While I self-consciously handcombed my windswept hair, Lead Vocalist LeVox was nice enough to assure me, “You look great man!”. I love it when rightfully big names remain approachable and down-to-earth. And in Country Music the names don’t get any bigger than Rascal Flatts!

Check-out their latest Single Rewind below:

English-born Actor Dominic Purcell known best stateside for his starring role in acclaimed Series Prison Break, made his way into Toronto yesterday for a two-day Press Blitz to promote his latest Film, A Fighting Man by Director Damian Lee. The Sudbury-filmed Boxing Drama centers around two Men who enter the Ring for a fight of their lives, starring also Famke Janssen, James Caan, Adam Beach and Louis Gossett Jr.

While he conducted most of his Interviews out of a Downtown Boxing Ring, he did make a visit to Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition) to talk about the Film. Watch the Interview here!

Although the timing didn’t quite line-up for a golden Photo Op with Purcell, we need snap a Candid of him while he head to an Appearance earlier:

See the Trailer for A FIGHTING MAN below:

He’s brought home four Emmy Awards and has survived 28 seasons of Survivor and now he is up for a new challenge with his second ever directorial effort, Kiss Me.

Centering on a Teenager coping with Scoliosis, Probst attracted an intriguing Cast including Emily Osment, Jenna Fischer, Missi Pyle and Sara Bolger.

Probst appeared on The Morning Show (National Edition) earlier today, talking about his new Film and also what it takes to be a Survivor. Watch the Interview here.

Arriving early, the v. handsome Probst took a few moments to pose for Photos and sign some Autographs. We certainly weren’t immune to his charms!

Kiss Me opens in theatres later this year. Survivor: Cagayan airs Wednesday nights 8 PM on Global Television.

Amazing to be in the presence of royalty. Olympic Royalty, that is! Sisters Chloe, Maxime and Justine Dufour-Lapointe are in Toronto today to tell us all about their medal-winning performances in Moguls Skiing at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

The Dufour-Lapointe Sisters were spotted arriving for their appearance at Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition). “No, sorry we don’t have time for Photos or Autographs”, a Handler advised, before eldest Sister Maxine made the decision to snap a quick Photo. Understandably after a long run since returning home from Sochi, they’ve probably fulfilled their share of Fan moments. Although we got photobombed, the were so nice to stop and do a second Snap!  Justine  brought home the gold for Canada this year, while Chloe got us a silver.  Maxime still made us proud making it against the odds to the Olympics!

The Sisters also were travelling with fellow Freestyle Skiier Mikael Kingsbury, who won a Silver Medal along with gold medal-winning fellow Canadian Alexandre Bilodeau.

Growing up in the late ’80s and early ’90s, it was impossible to avoid the powerful, resonating vocals of New York-born Diva, Taylor Dayne (nee Leslie Wunderman). Singles like Tell it to my Heart, Don’t Rush Me, With Every Beat of my Heart and the ever-moving Love Will Lead You Back have a timelessness to them which still to this day have a home on the Dancefloor and Adult Contemporary Radio.

The still-gorgeous Actress/Songstress is in town for a Show tonight at the Living Arts Centre and on a super-rare occasion, she did a round of Interviews early today promoting it with visits to CITY‘s Breakfast Television and Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition). Looking a vision of perfection in red, it is somehow as if time had stood still as somehow she looks even more stunning than in the ’80s!

Dayne performed on Breakfast Television (watch here) after sitting down for a Chat with Dina Pugliese, before heading-off to her appearance on The Morning Show. Despite it being beyond freezing, she gestured to her many ardent fans outside the window, assuring them she’d be out momentarily to greet them. And she did!

You can always tell by the gleam in my eyes when I’m that extra-bit excited about meeting someone and I’ve waited my whole life to meet Taylor Dayne!

Iconic Entertainer Sandra Bernhard is back in-town, bringing her Sandyland Show to the Richmond Hill Centre for the Performing Arts tonight and tomorrow. Known for her gritty brand of Humour, the Michigan-born Funnywoman rose to fame with her biting critique of Pop Culture and Politics.

Speaking of Politics, will she be poking-fun at Toronto Mayor Rob Ford at her Show?  “The poor Guy’s been beaten up… He’s a bit of a mess”, she says to Dina Pugliese on CITY‘s Breakfast Television earlier this morning.  Bernhard comments also on Social Media, when she realized she wanted to be a Comedienne and her Daughter also in the Interview.  Watch here.

Shortly after, she made her way north to Global Television‘s The Morning Show (National Edition), where she co-hosted today. Although she was in a rush going live-to-air, she fulfilled her promise coming out afterwards, graciously signing some Autographs and posing for Photos before heading to her next Taping. She looks amazing, can we agree?  Watch her on The Morning Show here.

Tickets are still available to Bernhard‘s Sandyland Show.  Click here for more.
