PATRICK J. ADAMS BACK IN TORONTO FOR SEASON TWO OF "SUITS"


Patrick J. Adams & Mr. Will-W.
Best known for his work on USA Network's Suits in which he stars as genius Lawyer Mike Ross, Toronto's v. Own Patrick J. Adams is back in his Hometown and ready to begin work on a second season of the Series. 

In December, Adams was nominated for his first Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Male Actor in a Drama Series, making us real proud. Adams also can be seen currently in HBO's ill-fated Horse Racing Drama Series Luck, which just recently was cancelled after a total three Horses have had to be euthanized on-set at Santa Anita Race Track. 

The Actor was sporting a scruffier look arriving in Toronto tonight with his Dog, an adorable black Cocker Spaniel, on a flight from Los Angeles. The Pet is said to divide its time between Adams and lovely Pretty Little Liars Star Troian Bellisario, whom he is attached to currently.

Recognizing him right away, he was happy to stop and pose for a Photo, offering a quick handshake as his lovely Greeter offered to take a snap. Adams will be filming Suits between April and October 2012. 

Last Summer, we met his handsome Co-star Gabriel Macht on-set and he also was amaze! Click here to read more.

THIRD HORSE DIES ON THE SET OF "LUCK"


Still from Luck
This saddens me deeply as a true Horse Lover. HBO has halted production on its Horse Racing Drama Series Luck, starring Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte, after a Horse was injured and euthanized earlier today.  The Horse was being led onto Santa Anita Race Track in Arcadia, California by a Groom when it reared and sustained a head injury, resulting in the decision to euthanize it.  Although this incident doesn't appear to be related in any way to mistreatment, the American Humane Association has ordered an investigation, according to the Associated Press.

During the filming of its first season, two Horses were euthanized also as a result of injuries sustained while filming intense racing scenes for Luck, which only recently was renewed for a second season beginning January 2013.  HBO continues to be firm in their stance that they are adhering to safety standards, working together with the American Humane Association and Industry Experts.

Luck, despite drawing modest ratings, has received favourable reviews garnering a score of 75 on Metacritic.

UPDATE (3/14/12): HBO announced that Luck has officially been cancelled. According to a Statement issued on their part today, they state: "While we maintained the highest safety standards possible, accidents unfortunately happen and it is impossible to guarantee they won't in the future".

ACTRESS/MODEL/JOCKEY CHANTAL SUTHERLAND RETURNS HOME TO TORONTO


Chantal Sutherland & Mr. Will-W.
She's back!  Toronto's v. own Chantal Sutherland has returned home once again - even if only for a weekend - to cap-off the Thoroughbred Racing Season at Woodbine Racetrack.  After meeting Fans in Las Vegas the other day, she flew-in last night to her Hometown, where she cut her teeth before riding her way to major success south of the Border at California's Santa Anita and Hollywood Parks.  Just last month, she rode a career-defining first runner-up finish in North America's richest race, the $5-million Breeder's Cup Classic aboard Game on Dude.

Not only is Sutherland a first-class Jockey, but she also is a Model (Annie Leibovitz has shot her for Vogue), Reality TV Star (at one point in talks to star on ABC's Dancing with the Stars) and she soon will be seen alongside the likes of Nick Nolte and Dustin Hoffman in HBO's hotly-tipped new Series, Luck. The first Episode of Luck will air on Sunday, December 11, 2011 and it premieres officially on Sunday, January 29, 2012.

Sutherland aboard Sense of Pride
The beautiful Sutherland revealed a secret to me right before winning her second race today aboard Filly Sense of Pride, which I vowed not to repeat.  All I will say though is that early 2012 Sutherland will be appearing in a Spread on a v. internationally-known Magazine, photographed by a v. well-known Celebrity ...who also happens to be a Photographer.  Excite.

From the Grandstand, it was clear how much Toronto misses Sutherland, with tons of clapping and cheering just for her.  Welcome home Chantal, Queen of Everything!

DUSTIN HOFFMAN STARS IN NEW HBO SERIES "LUCK"


Still from Luck
What would life be like without HBO? During Breeders' Cup weekend, these Promo Spots for Michael Mann's new series Luck were aired repeatedly and I must admit, it looks pretty damn good. With the Season Finale of Boardwalk Empire creeping-up, Luck will more than ably be filling that void for Fans this Winter.

Dustin Hoffman and Nick Nolte star in what is sure to be Emmys bait.  And if you might recall, Torontonian Jockey Chantal Sutherland whom I posted about yesterday, appears in six of the Series' completed twelve episodes.  Cannot wait to see this.  I'll pay the extra $20 to add HBO Canada back to my TV Package!
