HILARY DUFF SPOTTED BACK IN TORONTO

Hilary Duff in Toronto - December 2011

A v. pregnant Hilary Duff landed in Toronto from Los Angeles earlier tonight, flying solo to spend some quality time with her BFF, Canadian TV Personality Leah Miller. Duff, who was spotted pushing her own Luggage Cart - contents spilling over - got a bit of help from the Paparazzi after struggling a bit on her own.  Where is a Helping Hand when you need it?

Graciously Duff thanked the Photographers for helping her out, as is expected from the all-around lovely Multimedia Empire herself. Note that like Mommy-to-be Jessica Simpson, who was just in-town this weekend, Duff also is sporting a big-brimmed Hat.

Duff is due next Spring and we know so far that the Baby (whose Father is Hockey Player Mike Comrie) is a Boy, but the Expectant Mother might have a few hesitations already about his Career Path. The other day Duff was quoted saying, "I would support him no matter what, but I wouldn't tell him to be an Actor or Hockey Player. That would be really rough.".

Just this past March, Duff popped-by in Toronto after a long-delayed flight, visiting equally sweet Sister Haylie who was staying with Boyfriend Nick Zano. At that point he was filming ABC Family TV Movie, Desperately Seeking Santa which aired just last week in the U.S.

NICK ZANO & LAURA VANDERVOORT IN TORONTO FOR "THE UNTITLED SANTA PROJECT"

Nick Zano & Mr. Will-W.

And all the Girls go screaming.  Yes, that's hunky Nick Zano and he's now in Toronto filming an TV Movie known only as ABC Family's The Untitled Santa Project due later this year for the Holidays.  Although details are pretty nil right now on what the Movie is actually about, we know that Zano stars as a character named David Morretti, while his Toronto-based Co-Star Laura Vandervoort stars as Jennifer Walker.  This is one of two ABC Family Holiday TV Movies being filmed in the City right now alongside 12 Dates of Christmas, which stars Mark-Paul Gosselaar and Amy Smart.

Filming began just yesterday for The Untitled Santa Project in a Residential area and continued today in an Office setting around Eaton Centre.   And a group of Zano's Female Fan Base in Toronto were out in full force showing their support yesterday which touched him enough to Tweet today, "It was great meeting everyone yesterday, thanks for the love Toronto.".  Aww!
