Martin Short & Mr. Will-W.

Although I've met him multiple times, I never bothered to ask for a Photo with him so today I finally did as he head off into his Van, Cell Phone attached to his ear! Funnyman Martin Short was at CityTV earlier today amidst all the chaos from The Wanted's Breakfast Television performance.  He was also on the popular Morning Show discussing Canada's Got Talent, in which he appears as one of three Judges. Tonight's Episode was slated to reveal who would be selected from the Show's Last Chance YouTube Audition. The Show airs Monday and Tuesday nights on CityTV at 8:00 PM.

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.

"DOROTHY OF OZ" POSTER UNVEILED

This first Official Poster for 2012's Dorothy of Oz has just been released.  Starring a stellar Cast of Lea Michele (Glee), Kelsey Grammer, Dan Akroyd, James Belushi, Patrick Stewart, Hugh Dancy and Martin Short, the 3-D Animated Feature will follow Dorothy as she decides to return back to Oz one more time to save her Friends.  In all honesty, I thought in the spirit of the original The Wizard of Oz that this was a Live Action Film.  You can imagine my surprise when I was presented with this bit of news!

Dorothy of Oz is set tentatively for an April 30, 2012 release.  Summertime Entertainment oversees Production, although it is unclear which company will be handling its Distribution.
