MARK WAHLBERG & TIE DOMI SPOTTED IN TORONTO

Mark Wahlberg in Toronto - December 2010

The Boys are back in town! BFFs Mark Wahlberg and former Toronto Maple Leaf Tie Domi were out and about the City this evening and after being spotted in Yorkville earlier - where they have been known to stay in the past - they enjoyed some Italian fare among Friends at Biagio on King St. this evening.

Having just been to the City this past December to promote subsequent Academy Award-winning The Fighter, Wahlberg traveled with less Entourage than normal tonight and came out afterward to greet Fans on the street, signing Autographs and taking Photos with them.  Not at all surprising - he's one of the nicest!

In addition to working together with Author James Frey (as announced previously here) on a new HBO series about Porn and evolution to the Internet, Wahlberg is also teaming-up again with The Other Guys Co-star Will Ferrell for Warner Bros.' upcoming Comedy, Turkey Bowl.

AUTHOR JAMES FREY AT INDIGO MANULIFE FOR "THE FINAL TESTAMENT OF THE HOLY BIBLE"

Mr. Will-W. & James Frey

"If I wanted to enrage people, I would've had the Messiah fuck a Dog. I'm not trying to offend people with my writing, but at the same time I would never limit him (the Messiah) to anything I wouldn't think he'd do." - James Frey, on his new Book The Final Testament of the Holy Bible.

Screenwriter/Author/Director James Frey made a rare visit to Toronto today promoting his controversial new Book, The Final Testament of the Holy Bible at Indigo Manulife Centre. The Book depicts a Pansexual Jesus Christ who engages in the consumption of Drugs. Speaking to an intimate audience, Frey admits to Host Heather Reisman, "I want people either to love or hate this Book.  I consider it a failure being in the middle.".

Frey is no stranger to controversy having been confronted harshly by one of his greatest Champions Oprah Winfrey on her Talk Show in 2006 to address the authenticity of his claims that Best Seller A Million Little Pieces is in fact really a Memoir. Five years and two more Best Selling Novels later, Frey returned to The Oprah Winfrey Show (his only Press so far) in a special two-hour Interview airing yesterday and today, where she apologized to him for not hearing his side of the story fully.  To this day, Frey stands by his argument that all Memoirs require some degree of embellishment.

Frey's agenda is honest admitting, "I want to be the most influencial Writer in the World, even though I don't think I've quite gotten there yet. I'm not interested in selling ten copies of a Book.". Compared to the massive success of his earlier work, he is being less ambitious this time around, pressing 10,000 copies of his new Book for the U.S. and only 3,000 copies for Canada, to be distributed exclusively at Indigo.
