MARGARET CHO LANDS IN TORONTO FOR "CHO DEPENDENT TOUR"

Margaret Cho & Mr. Will-W.

Comedienne Margaret Cho's unabashed brand of humour needs little introduction.  We know her as "that original funny Asian girl" and her longevity in this business is a true testament to her talent and ability to continue growing in the ever-changing face of Comedy.  Most recently she reinvented herself as a Ballroom Dancer on ABC's Dancing with the Stars where she far from embarrassed herself.  Her last performance paid tribute to Gay Pride with her donning a Rainbow Dress and dancing to Barry Manilow's Copacabana.  America wasn't ready and she garnered the least amount of votes, resulting in her being eliminated all too soon.

Cho landed in Toronto today for her wittily-named Cho Dependent Tour at Massey Hall.  The Tour is in support of her first-ever studio album of the same name released this past August, combining her previously unknown singing abilities with her signature humour.

Surprisingly soft-spoken and mild-mannered in person, a Cosmetic-less Cho was guided out to greet a few fans by her Touring Manager, before heading into the venue.  She had spent most of her day doing Press on her at-capacity Tour Bus, but nonetheless she looked genuinely happy to see her supporters.  Her Manager did much of the talking, making it clear: "She's from California and it's cold out here. You get your pick of one picture or an autograph."  Dressed in striped Leggings and bundled-up in a Faux Fur Coat and Scarf, clearly this California Girl travels prepared.

Amazingly, I got the greatest Birthday Gift of all - a chance to meet Cho and although the moment was v. quick, my impression of her is that she is far more grounded and modest than I would ever have expected.  Cho heads off to Montreal tomorrow night for her next stop-off and to read her updates, you can follow her on Twitter here.

DIRTY DANCING'S JENNIFER GREY BACK FOR DANCING WITH THE STARS

Yes! The moment we've all been waiting for - the return of Jennifer Grey! Many of us remember Grey of course for her star-making role in Dirty Dancing as Baby, opposite sadly-missed Patrick Swayze.

If we look back at Grey's career, things were going really well for her. And I mean extremely well for a young actress. She scored roles in great films like Red Dawn, The Cotton Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off before Dirty Dancing, which has grossed $214 million worldwide. Shortly after her star had risen, she landed a role opposite Madonna and Matt Dillon in 1989's forgettable Bloodhounds of Broadway.

Regrettably, Grey opted for Rhinoplasty (Nose Job) and all the negative publicity surrounding this is rumoured to haveing ontributed to her no longer being cast in marquee roles. Since then, her Resume has been filled with Television Movie after Television Movie, with the occasional cameo on a Sitcom. Shameful. I mean, Grey had the same girl-next-door likability of Sarah Jessica Parker, who eventually married her Ferris Bueller co-star Matthew Broderick, but things just never came to fruition for her.
