FIRST PREVIEW OF NBC'S "THE PLAYBOY CLUB"

Still from The Playboy Club

As mentioned earlier, LeAnn Rimes spent her weekend in New York City celebrating her Husband Eddie Cibrian’s new TV series, The Playboy Club. Rimes enjoyed a weekend break from filming TV Movie Reel Love taking place north of Toronto in Lefroy, to enjoy some relaxation and Pastries.

Rimes confirms to me directly on Twitter what she had for Brunch, “Almond Cake, Carrot Bread and Apple Crumble” on Sunday morning before later in the day enjoying a Dinner at The Waverly Inn where she ran into Diane Lane.

And just one day after all of this, surfaces this first-ever clip from the series Pilot which sees Maureen (Amber Heard) trying to cover up the murder of a Chicago Mobster with her Lawyer, Nick (Cibrian).

Watch the Clip in full below:

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! 

AMBER HEARD, JENNA DEWAN, LAURA BENATI & NATURI NAUGHTON IN NBC'S "PLAYBOY" SERIES

Amber Heard at TIFF 2009

You've in all likelihood seen her in many Movies already, but this will be the role that makes her a Star.  24 year-old Amber Heard is confirmed almost for NBC's upcoming Playboy series in the role Maureen, who works at the Playboy Club as a new-hire.  Heard's Résumé actually is quite impressive having starred in  hits like Pineapple Express, Zombieland, Friday Night Lights and North Country as a young Charlize Theron.  Her next Film in theatres this Friday, Drive Angry 3-D, has her opposite Nicolas Cage.

The lead role of Carol-Lynne played by Laura Benati whose best known work so far has been on the series Eli Stone. Benati's character is said to be approaching her last days as a Playboy Bunny on the series and her standing is threatened by some of the newer Girls. Carol-Lynne will be involved with a Chicago Mobster.

Naturi Naughton also stars and you  might remember her from moderate successes like Lottery Ticket, Fame (2009) and a brief turn on AMC's Mad Men (an inspiration for this new Series) also as a Playboy Bunny.
