MICHAEL SHEEN AT "HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2" PREMIERE IN TORONTO

Michael Sheen in Toronto - July 2011

The talented Michael Sheen definitely needs to introduction to Toronto, having spent last Summer  here filming Julia Roberts production Jesus Henry Christ. Although we're still waiting to hear whether or not the Film will premiere at TIFF this September, Sheen has been in the City for the past few weeks visiting Girlfriend Rachel McAdams.

It was Family first tonight as those attending the Toronto Premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 were surprised to see him arrive together with Ex-Partner of nine years Kate Beckinsale and their daughter Lily, who was dressed festively for the occasion.  Beckinsale as we all know, is here filming Husband Len Wiseman's Total Recall Reboot and the stars aligned perfectly in their schedules tonight. Despite no longer being together, the former Couple are said to remain close Friends.  McAdams it is confirmed, was not present this evening.

POSSIBLE 2011 TIFF TITLES? (UPDATED)

Still from Like Crazy

Although the Toronto International Film Festival is only a little over two months away, there already is wide speculation about which major Oscars Keyplayers will be getting a Toronto Premiere here come September.  Although these are based purely on rumour, the below v. possibly could be screening in the City - meaning you just might be seeing these Stars here!

Here are a few Candidates:

We Need to Talk About Kevin – starring Tilda Swinton and John C. Reilly; about a Mother recounting the series of events leading up to her Son’s massacring of students and teachers at his High School.

Sleeping Beauty – Australian film starring Emily Browning about a Girl who enters a secret underground Prostitution Ring, taking a sleep-inducing Drug which then allows her Clientele to have their way with her without any recollection.

The Ides of March – starring George Clooney, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Ryan Gosling, Paul Giamatti and Evan Rachel Wood. A Staff Member to a new Presidential Candidate is given a quick, dirty Crash Course on Politics during his Campaign Trail.

"JESUS HENRY CHRIST" GETS TRIBECA FILM FESTIVAL PREMIERE

Still from Jesus Henry Christ

I swear, it's like watching my old Kid graduate! Julia Roberts-produced Jesus Henry Christ, which many of you might remember was filmed in Toronto last Summer, has received a Premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City's BMCC Tribeca Performing Arts Center.

 

Roberts showed-up to the Premiere last night  looking amazing as always together with her Sister Lisa Gillian. Among others in attendance were Robert DeNiro, Closer Director Mike Nichols and his Wife, Diane Sawyer.

Check out the Photos from the Premiere last night here.

MICHAEL SHEEN AT TIFF FOR BEAUTIFUL BOY

Alright, Michael Sheen Fans - you know how much I love you guys and Michael, so it was a blessing from God that he and I crossed paths again today.  Returning to his Hotel quickly before heading out again, I was surprised to see him looking amazing as he was in-character last time I saw him this summer in Toronto filming Jesus Henry Christ.  Michael premiered first-time Director Shawn Ku's Beautiful Boy last night at Isabel Bader Theatre.

MORE JULIA ROBERTS IN TORONTO - EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS FROM THE SET OF JESUS HENRY CHRIST

Lighting struck twice today for me and I'm ecstatic to have gotten these amazing shots myself of Julia Roberts on her way to the set of Jesus Henry Christ in the city's trendy Queen St. West area. Again, she's totally sending out mixed signals about not wanting to be photographed, yet appears all smiles here about it.  

After doing a bit of shopping around the area, including grabbing a snack at Nadege (where I did a Photo Shoot recently for In Toronto Magazine) and browsing through Vintage Clothing Store Preloved, Roberts appeared to have left the set around 5:00 PM.

*scream* 

To clarify, that's an actual, full-on Handwave, not a Faceblock, B*tches!  What?  This is definitely one of Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven's prouder moments.

MORE MICHAEL SHEEN ON THE SET OF JESUS HENRY CHRIST | AUTOGRAPH GIVEAWAY

It is astonishing how much support Michael Sheen fans have shown Mr. Will-W.:Pop Maven these past couple days so I decided to go down to the set of Jesus Henry Christ again today to get you even more details about the film!

Filming took place in the city's trendy Queen St. West area and the venue chosen for shooting was Type Books. Scenes with the film's adorable Canadian star Jason Spevack were shot at the Bookshop and Sheen looked a lot more like his good-looking self without the glasses we saw him wearing yesterday. Surely, he must be relieved to not have to wear a sweater again in today's heat. And if not, I'm sure he's happy to know that tomorrow is his final day of shooting.

Check out these photos I got of him crossing the street with Spevack to trendy cafe Nadege, where I also did a Photo Shoot recently with my friend Habeyah for In Toronto Magazine. I also snapped a couple shots of him leaving the set for the day and he looked over right at me with a smile (look above)!

JULIA ROBERTS IN TORONTO FOR JESUS HENRY CHRIST

They say things always happen in Threes and that would apply to my crossing paths today finally with Julia Roberts.  Last week I met her ex-fiancé Kiefer Sutherland and older brother Eric.  And now today, at long last I got to meet the Oscar-winning, once Highest Paid Actress in Hollywood herself.  I'll  be honest - I was down a bit that I didn't get a chance to see her a couple weeks ago when sightings of her were first reported in Toronto.  I was fully convinced that she would not be returning again after seeing photos of her in Mexico last week in Cancun promoting Eat Pray Love.  Fortunately in this instance, I was wrong.

After scoping out the set today of Jesus Henry Christ, produced by Julia Roberts' Red Om Films, I was nudged by a friend to look to my left after having been in a heat and humidity-induced trance.  Low and behold, there she was.  Incognito in a pair of Sunglasses, a Bucket Hat, Sleeveless Tee and Khaki Shorts, she could be seen exchanging kisses on the grass with husband Daniel Moder, who is currently at work behind-the-scenes on the project also.  

TONI COLLETTE FILMING JESUS HENRY CHRIST IN TORONTO

When you think of actress Toni Collette, you'd think talented, out-going and approachable, perhaps?  I'm sad to tell you that the Australian actress didn't quite make the grade in terms of Celebrity Niceness.  As reported earlier, I visited the set of Jesus Henry Christ earlier today, with the film approaching a wrap here in Toronto.  Believe me, I don't spread rumours about people.  I try my best to recount things as I see them, so you'll have to trust my word.

Well actually, Collette who stars as a Feminist Single Mother in the film, isn't completely awful with fans, but she could be a lot nicer.  When I Text Messaged my experience to other friends who have met her previously,  I was shocked that unfortunately they too had similar accounts.  "Chilly", "cold" and "standoffish" are adjectives I read on my Blackberry.  I'm devastated as you can tell because I love her acting, but after seeing her interact with fans today my opinion of her has changed.

On her way to the film's set today, she made it clear that she had more important things like having to go to the Loo in her Trailer rather than interacting with fans.  Finally deciding to put aside a minute, she  walked over to sign a few autographs, but interestingly she has a method to her style.  When asking her to personalize a dedication on photos of herself, she will only put a signature on it.  Plain and simple. If you hand her a white piece of paper, she'll write out a proper inscription, including an "Dear X - Love, Toni Collette", which I found odd. And don't bother asking for a photo with her. Toni don't do that.

So testing this theory further, I caught her a second time around and asked her politely if she could complete an inscription on my 8x10 "To Will".  Collette brushed me off and then turned around with a glare, asking in an American accent "We've spoken already today, haven't we?", before walking off.  In my years of meeting Celebrities, I've never been spoken to like that and never would I have guessed it would be Toni Collette to serve me a plate of those Ice Box Cookies.

MICHAEL SHEEN FILMING JESUS HENRY CHRIST IN TORONTO

He's everything I thought he would be.  The extremely talented and likable Michael Sheen is in-town right now filming Red Om Films' Jesus Henry Christ, which is about a boy who was conceived via a Pitri Dish and raised by his Feminist mother.  He then finds clues about his Father via a series of Sticky Notes.  Interesting enough.

I got to meet Sheen on his way to the film's set and graciously he came over and posed for a couple photos and did autographs with a few fans, giggling awkwardly at our excitement.  He of course was barely recognizable, explaining why there have been so few sightings of him around town.  Putting on a fair amount of weight and sporting some Make-up which ages him significantly, he plays a Professor in the film.  I love this man.  He is my new favourite actor and I cannot wait to see his performance in this.  He shook my hand graciously before heading off the set where he had to wear layered clothing in this sweltering heat.

More pics to be posted later this evening from my day at the set of Jesus Henry Christ.  Trust me, you'll want to see the goodies I got.
