#FREEFREDWILLARD

Fred Willard & Mr. Will-W.

With all the controversy surrounding Comedian Fred Willard's recent Arrest, it is refreshing to see him take it all in good humour. Willard says on Twitter, "Wait til u hear my version; much more PG. & my review, lousy film, but theater would make a terrific racquetball court. Full story 2 follow.".

Honestly, the Man is 72-years-old and has paid his dues to Society for the past 45 years, consistently bringing smiles to our faces. Willard was endangering no one with his Behaviour and surely he couldn't have been the first to do so at such a Venue. This further raises the burning Question we all want to know the answer to: "Do the LAPD not have any more pressing concerns to deal with than patrolling Adult Theatres for Lewd Acts"? 

 

I personally have met Willard and had a nice Chat with him last Winter. I can vouch that he is an awesome Guy.  Even at 78-years-of-age, he still is stirring the pot and provoking thought about Hypocrisies of a Law in need of redefining.  Icon.

STARS PAY TRIBUTE TO GILDA RADNER IN TORONTO AT "IT"S ALWAYS SOMETHING" GALA

2011 It's Always Something Gala for Gilda's Club Toronto

Some familiar faces came back to Toronto last night in honour of a Friend. Gilda's Club Toronto opened its doors in 1991 in memory of Comedienne/Actress Gilda Radner - known best for her work on Saturday Night Live - who had passed away in 1989 after a three-year battle with Ovarian Cancer.  The Club offers free Group Support to the Families-of and those who are suffering from Cancer.  Radner once said publicly, "No one should have to face Cancer alone".  Having battled Cancer for a brief period in my life myself, I understand the truth in that statement.

Although for the past nine years the It's Always Something Gala for Gilda's Club Toronto was held at the Royal Alexandra and Elgin Theatres, the venue was upgraded to Sony Centre for the Performing Arts, selling-out 3,100 seats to accommodate.  Over the past nine years, the Gala has raised over $3 million for the Cause.

Some famous Friends of Radner's like Andrea Martin, Jeanne Beker, Eugene Levy, Martin Short, Catherine O'Hara, Paul Shaffer, Fred Willard came-out to show their support, performing a two-act Variety Show, hosted for the fifth year by our v. own Russell Peters.  Tributes were paid in Speeches, Dedications, Skits, Song and Dance, reminding us that her Spirit still is v. present.
