TERRY CREWS IN TORONTO FOR "THE EXPENDABLES 2" | SIGNED PHOTO GIVEAWAY

Terry Crews in Toronto - August 2012

Former Football Player/Actor Terry Crews arrived in Toronto last night for a day of Press in support of The Expendables 2. The friendly and handsome 44-year-old, who believe it or not is a Grandfather, started his day bright and early with a stop-off at KISS 92.5's Roz & Mocha Show, before throwing-on his Blazer and heading into Global Television's The Morning Show and then zipping over to CityTV's Breakfast Television. He later in the day will be joined by Co-Star and former UFC Champion Randy Couture for a day of Press out of their super-posh Hotel.

The Expendables 2 - directed by Simon West, Script by Sylvester Stallone - sees Crews reprising his role as the Hale Caesar. He tells Breakfast Television's Jennifer Valentyne, "This is an Action Lover's Dream Come True.  A real Man's Movie!".  And although he didn't break his neck like Stallone did in the Film's Predecessor, Crews admits to having endured a scar or two filming this latest installment.  Couture also stars as Toll Road,  his and Crews' Hale both playing-off each other comically.

DANIEL POWTER IN TORONTO FOR "TURN ON THE LIGHTS"

Daniel Powter in Toronto - August 2012

Although he's had a tough run, Vernon, British Columbia-born Singer-Songwriter Daniel Powter is back and ready for the spotlight again with his latest Single, Cupid. Powter's rise to the top of the World of Pop in 2006 happened at a rocket speed.  His international Hit Bad Day reached the summit of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Chart, making him the first Canadian Male Artist to accomplish that feat since Bryan Adams in 1995, with Have You Ever Loved a Woman?  Despite the Track being named Billboard Magazine's Song of the Year in 2006 with JUNO, GRAMMY and BRIT Award nominations galore to follow, many of us have wondered since, "What happened to Daniel Powter?".

The Singer/Songwriter has been v. honest in the Media about his five-year-long battle with Cocaine and Alcohol Addiction which began at the pinnacle of his success. Now sober, Powter recently got engaged to the Mother of their six-month-old Daughter (he also has a ten-year-old Daughter from a previous relationship).  He is ready to release his third major label Album, Turn on the Lights.

A barely recognizable Powter with long hair was out and about earlier today promoting his new Disc on Global Television's Morning Show and also CHFI with a live performance with his Bandmates.  While waiting for his Van, he was super-friendly taking time to chat with Photographers, also signing Autographs. He tells one Fan jokingly, "You should get about $10 for that".  Whether or not he duplicates the success of Bad Day really doesn't matter at this point. He's here and he's survived the dark.

TEDDY GEIGER IN TORONTO FOR "THE LAST FEARS"

Teddy Geiger in Toronto - July 2012

Teddy Geiger, great Guy. The 23-year-old Actor/Singer/Songwriter first burst onto the scene with bang back in 2006 debuting in the Top Ten of the U.S. Billboard Hot 200 Album Chart, Underage Thinking. Currently in Toronto with a Show at The Mod Club tonight in support of his latest Disc The Last Fears, Geiger made a surprise visit to Global Television's The Morning Show bright and early, performing acoustically two Tracks, including the delightful Shake it Off and his biggest Hit, For You I Will.  See his Performance here.

Although formerly signed to Columbia Records, Geiger is finding success on his own terms releasing Music independently via Pledge Music.  In fact, Digital Sales of his CDs, Meet & Greets and Merchandise already are doing exceedingly well, meeting 111% of its Target as of today. Above this, the New York Native will be donating proceeds to Save the Elephants.

Geiger actually knows Toronto quite well actually having filmed 2008 Comedy The Rocker here alongside Rainn Wilson, Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, Christina Applegate and Jason Sudeikis in the City, telling me he knows the area of the City he stayed then quite well.  He was amazingly nice to chat with some Fans post-performance and was rather smitten with Billy, who got a full-on massage from Geiger, not wanting it to end!

KELLY CUTRONE IN TORONTO FOR AMMA CANADA

Kelly Cutrone in Toronto - July 2012

Yes, it really happened!  On her way out of an appearance on Global Television's The Morning Show, I got to meet PR Queen, Television Star and Author Kelly Cutrone.  And she is everything I thought she would be: real, charismatic, commanding and fun. I've met many famous people in my time, but some fall short of what you'd hope when you actually do get to meet them. Cutrone's larger-than-life presence confirms exactly why we are so drawn to her and respect her opinions.

Cutrone made her debut on America's Next Top Model Cycle 18 late February, further solidifying her status as a Fashion Industry Icon, succeeding Vogue's André Leon Talley as a Judge on the popular TV Series.  She gained widespread exposure after turns on MTV's True Life, The Hills and The City.  Her PR Film People's Revolution has produced a record-breaking number of Fashion Shows for a high-profile Roster of Clients including the likes of Thierry Mugler, Bulgari, Valentino and Vivienne Westwood.

Taking a moment to promote her Brand, the Multimedia Empire's three-day visit to Toronto actually is for charity.  She is working with AMMA Canada, which in addition to hosting a Soup Kitchen, aims to serve the needs of those less fortunate and the Elderly in our Community.  The inspiration behind the Foundation, Amma (coined The Hugging Saint), currently is touring Canada with appearances at Doubletree by Hilton in Toronto's west-end  between Thursday, July 19 and Sunday, July 22, 2012. More details here.

Meeting Cutrone was amaze.  After posing for a Photo together and chatting about recently-outed Rapper Frank Ocean (she thinks he was extorted for money), Neil Diamond (she thinks he's cute) and Madonna (she feels the Pop Queen has received ageist/sexist criticisms of late) - one of the Producers of The Morning Show escorting her to her Town Car tells me he's a Fan of my Blog.  Cutrone says to me, "What? You're a Blogger?  Send me details!".  She then approvingly tells the Producer, "You've gotta book this Guy to be on your Guest Panel, he's so funny!". Of course being a true blue Business Woman, jokingly she demands a payment. "I'm your PR now, see!  You can wire me the funds in Canadian dollars!" she says, referencing our Dollar's run towards Parity to the US Dollar.  Dead.
