MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ DJS AT "RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION" WRAP PARTY

Michelle Rodriguez in Toronto - December 2011

That's a wrap! Celebrating both her "21st Birthday" and the completion of her latest work Resident Evil: Retribution in Toronto, Milla Jovovich partied in style last night with her Husband and Director Paul W.S. Anderson and fellow Co-stars Sienna Guillory, Norman Yeung, Michelle Rodriguez and more.  Who would've guessed that Rodriguez was so good a DJ, taking over in the Booth for a bit of Reggae and whining-it-up for Jovoich's Cell Phone Camera?  And who says Moms can't be fun?  Watch it all go down here. Amaze.

Apparently last week Rodriguez also did a Guest DJ spot at Easy and the Fifth in Entertainment District too, giving Idris Elba who is in-town filming Pacific Rim, a run for his hottest Celebrity DJ title!

MILLA JOVOVICH & BILLY

Milla Jovovich & Billy

While taking Billy for a walk today, I stumbled upon the beautiful Milla Jovovich taking a quick Cigarette Break during filming from Resident Evil: Retribution in her SUV. At first I wasn't convinced and had to go back and do a double-take.  It was her.  Yup.

After being spotted in-and-around Yorkville with her Family on Sunday watching the Santa Claus Parade together, she returned back to the area for Work as filming took place at Bay Station's abandoned Platform. As per her Twitter, today they were filming a Russian Metro scene.

Bundled-up in her winter coat, wearing some crazy cool boots, Jovovich rocked her iconic Alice hair with a cute clip in-place.  She was sweet enough to invite Billy into her SUV, posing for a  couple quick Photos.  "He's so adorable and clean!", she noted.  I'm so jealous - I don't think I've even been in a Suburban yet and Billy has!

Have you seen Jovovich's 2012 Campari Calendar yet?  Stun-gun.

Jovovich will be here for exactly another month today. Keep those eyes peeled...

MILLA JOVOVICH & FAMILY AT SANTA CLAUS PARADE

Milla Jovovich, Paul W. S. Anderson and Family in Toronto - November 2011

There is nothing "evil" about these current residents of Toronto at all!  Look how sweet Milla Jovovich looks together with her Daughter Ever and Husband Paul W.S. Anderson as they strolled through Yorkville yesterday to catch the Santa Claus Parade, an annual fixture in our City since 1905.

Jovovich who has been in Toronto since September to work on her latest collaboration with her Director/Husband Anderson - Resident Evil: Retribution - was seen out getting a tall-sized Coffee for herself at Starbucks.  The Model/Singer/Actress utilized the handy pockets of her over-sized Parka craftily to hold one of Ever's favourite Dolls.  The four year-old who recently celebrated her Birthday, had her hands full holding a Balloon she received at the Parade.  Mom & Dad also weren't shy about their affections as Onlookers around Avenue x Bloor got to witness the Couple leaning-in for a kiss.

Anderson and Jovovich's most recent collaboration The Three Musketeers (currently in theatres) might not have made a splash here domestically, but it fared v. well overseas and internationally it has pulled-in over $121 milllion. The possibility of a Sequel is still in discussions.

Resident Evil: Retribution wraps right before Christmas and so far we've had the pleasure of meeting Jovovich, Kevin Durand,  Bingbing Li, and Michelle Rodriguez from the good-looking Cast!

MICHELLE RODRIGUEZ IN TORONTO FOR "RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION"

Michelle Rodriguez & Mr. Will-W.

After her breakout role in 2000's acclaimed Girlfight, Michelle Rodriguez has become the go-to in Hollywood for playing "The Tough Chick". Although she only has twelve Film Credits under her Résumé with a 13th now in-production here in Toronto, Resident Evil: Retribution, the Puerto Rican-raised Texan more often hits than misses at the Box Office.  

Known best for her work in The Fast and the Furious Franchise, Avatar and also her role as Ana Lucia Cortez on NBC's Lost, Rodriguez arrived about a month ago to begin work on the latest installment of Resident Evil.  She will star alongside Milla Jovovich, Bingbing Li, Oded Fehr and Sienna Guillory.  Wentworth Miller and Ali Larter unfortunately won't be returning in this latest Film.

With sightings reported in-and-around Yorkville, a couple Fans and I made it a mission to meet our favourite Bad Girl.  With Daylight Savings Time giving us an extra hour to work with today, Rodriguez and a Friend headed out to Dinner rather early today and we spotted them on their way back as she gears-up for another intense work-week tomorrow.  "Well, I don't see why not!", she replied to us after asking her nicely for a Photo.  Even with little Makeup, she exudes confidence and sexiness which Men and Women alike find irresistible.

The People behind the famous dark red Italian Apéritif, Campari, just unveiled their 2012 Calendar titled It's the End of the World, Baby!  Many believe that on December 21, 2012 we will be entering a new period of Transformation - a change for the better.

Jovovich as we know, currently is in Toronto filming Resident Evil: Retribution after having attended the Tokyo International Film Festival last weekend for The Three Musketeers, now in theatres.

Bingbing Li in Toronto - October 2011

Although she might not yet be a familiar face domestically, Bingbing Li in Asia is widely recognized as a treasured talent. The Actress who won a Golden Horse Award (Chinese Cinema's equivalent of the Oscars) in 2010 for her work in The Message, just landed in Toronto to begin work on Resident Evil: Retribution straight from Beijing.

With filming having been marred already with news of 16 Background Actors being rushed to the Hospital yesterday, Franchise star Milla Jovovich (whom we met last week!) also announced that Li will be playing the role of Ada Wong via Twitter. Filming will be taking place in and around the City until December 23, 2011 tentatively.

MILLA JOVOVICH IN TORONTO FOR "RESIDENT EVIL: RETRIBUTION"

Milla Jovovich & Mr. Will-W.

Fresh-faced after a flight across the Atlantic, Milla Jovovich is now back in Toronto and ready to begin filming the fifth installment of the popular Resident Evil series next week, reprising her role as Alice.  

The versatile Actress spent the past few days in London promoting her Husband Paul W.S. Anderson's latest film, The Three Musketeers which boasts an All-star Cast including herself, Oscar Winner Christoph Waltz, Orlando Bloom, Mads Mikkelsen, Juno Temple and Percy Jackson star Logan Lerman.

Holding a Carry-on from Harrods, Jovovich was kind enough to pose for a Photo after a long flight, arriving without her Husband today.  Prior to her London visit, she had been training aggressively in Toronto for the upcoming project for the past few weeks.   Her Cast mates for Resident Evil: Retribution are said to include Michelle Rodriguez, Wentworth Miller, Ali Larter and Kevin Durand.

In addition to The Three Musketeers, which hits theatres on October 21, 2011,  Jovovich also can be seen in the well-reviewed Dirty Girl - in which she stars alongside Temple again - in theatres October 7, 2011.  Both will be released by Alliance Films in Canada.  "Like" Alliance Films on Facebook to see Trailers for both Films.

TIFF "STONE" PREMIERE PRESS CONFERENCE WITH ROBERT DeNIRO

It is a great honour to have one of the greatest talents of our time Robert DeNiro join us at TIFF this year with his new film Stone. The film is a Drama which centers on a Criminal who engages his Parole Officer in mind games, namely sleeping with his Officer's wife. Sure sounds juicy. The film premiered earlier tonight at the VISA Screening Room. 

I caught the talented cast of Stone including DeNiro, Edward Norton and Milla Jovovich on their way to their film's Press Conference and I cannot describe how amazing it was being just inches from DeNiro!  Before long, pushing and shoving made things a bit dangerous for him, but nonetheless he was a great sport.

Check out some of the photos below:
