JORDAN KNIGHT, JOEY MCINTYRE & MARIO CANTONE AT "CHUM FM CHRISTMAS WISH BREAKFAST"


Joey McIntyre & Mario Cantone  in Toronto - December 2011
The Fun was in full-force bright and early today at Toronto's Masonic Temple for the annual CHUM FM Christmas Wish Breakfast. The Event is in support of the CP24 CHUM Christmas Wish Campaign which together with Toronto Social Services, supports over 300,000 people who need Toys and Financial Aid over the Holidays.

Fans arrived at the Venue as early as 5:30 AM to see performances from Toronto's v. own LIGHTS and New Kids on the Block Hearththrobs Jordan Knight and Joey McIntyre, flying in to perform Peace on Earth three hours into the Show.  Super-funny Sex and the City Star Mario Cantone (a Friend of McIntyre) also made an appearance singing Baby It's Cold Outside on-stage together before hoards of devoted, screaming Ladies.

Although the Gentlemen were in a rush following the Show, they came outside to give out some Hi-fives and Handshakes to Fans.  "Sorry it was so short today!", Knight apologized on his way out. Cantone was super-nice to pose for a quick Snap.

"SEX AND THE CITY" TO BE REVIVED AS TELEVISION SERIES?


Still from Sex and the City 2
No way!  The Daily Mail is putting it out there that Sarah Jessica Parker is keen on reviving the Sex and the City franchise again - not as a Movie - but back to its roots as a Television Series.  That's right - a seventh season is said to be in early discussions.  Neither Darren Starr nor HBO have confirmed anything yet at this point, mind you.

Although I'm thrilled to hear this as a not-so-secret Fan of Sex and the City, there's something inherently sacrilegious about exhuming a sacred corpse long-buried. But then again, was it not sacrilegious also making two Films which dishonoured the legacy that is Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte Alrighty!  Sign me up for that TV package with HBO in it!

"2 BROKE GIRLS" STAR BETH BEHRS IN TORONTO FOR CITYTV'S FALL 2011 UPFRONTS


Beth Behrs & Mr. Will-W.
Definitely a name to look out for.  CityTV celebrated their upcoming Fall 2011 Season last night at Canon Theatre and one of their brightest new Stars here for the festivities is Beth Behrs.   The Actress stars in hotly-tipped new Series 2 Broke Girls alongside likable Kat Dennings (Thor, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist).  The Sitcom which centers around two Waitresses who aspire to open a Cupcake Shop.  Without a dime to their names, they must come-up with $25,000 to fulfill their dream.  

The Series comes from Sex and the City Producer/Director/Screenwriter Michael Patrick King and also stars hunky D&G Model-turned-Actor Noah Mills, who was seen in Sex and the City 2.  I can't wait to see this especially after one CityTV Insider revealed to me this is his favourite new Series, calling it "hilarious".

I got to meet Behrs quickly before she was rushed-off and she is just absolutely beautiful!  Look at that smile.

Follow Behrs on Twitter here.  See a Preview of the CBS Series here.

THE CAST OF "SEX & THE CITY 2" WIN WORST ACTRESS AT THE RAZZIES


Still from Sex and the City 2
LOL.  The 31st annual RAZZIE Awards were held yesterday in Hollywood, honouring the worst in Film from 2010.  The ultimate honour of Worst Picture went to M. Night Shymalan's The Last Airbender; the Filmmaker also won Worst Director.

What was unique about this year's Awards was that Worst Actress was awarded to a group of four Actresses collectively: Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis for their work on Sex and the City 2.  Unlike many of the evening's other Winners though, Sex and the City 2 at least was a commercial success, earning $288 million worldwide at the Box Office.  Worst Actor went to Ashton Kutcher for his work on Valentine's Day and The Killers last year - both completely forgettable.

Worst Supporting Actor honours went to Jackson Rathbone of The Twilight Saga, who has the distinction of also appearing in The Last AirbenderJessica Alba was awarded Worst Supporting Actress for her work on Valentine's Day, The Killer Inside Me and Little Fockers.

"TWILIGHT: ECLIPSE" AND JENNIFER ANISTON TOP RAZZIE NOMINATIONS


Official Razzie Awards Logo
Honouring the absolute worst in Cinema in 2010, The Razzies are something I look forward to every year. The nominations are released one day before Oscar nominations are announced and the Awards Ceremony is held the day prior to the Oscars also in Hollywood.

Topping this year's Worst Movie race are both The Twilight Saga: Eclipse with nine nominations and also The Last Airbender 3-D. Following in third is Sex and the City 2 with a total seven nominations - each of its Stars received a nomination for Worst Actress in a collective grouping.

Jennifer Aniston is a prime candidate for Worst Actress this year with two clunkers in The Bounty Hunter and The Switch. Many are wondering if she will follow in the example of Oscar/Razzie-double Winners Sandra Bullock and Halle Berry who actually attended the Ceremony to accept their Award.

SEX & THE CITY 2 - A SMASH OVERSEAS


Now, who said Sex and The City 2 was a bust? Overseas numbers for the latest instalment of the female-centric franchise are stellar. To date the film internationally has earned $165.2 million, with $76 million of that along coming from America alone. Although the film was made for a whopping $100 million budget, the Warner Bros./New Line Cinema venture is easily making this back in its theatrical run alone. Surely, its legions of female fans unable to trek out to the theatres will support it in DVD release, rentals, television runs and Pay Per Views. Congrats, ladies! Now get cracking on #3!

SEX AND THE CITY 2'S NOAH MILLS IN GQ TAIWAN


If you saw Sex and The City 2 this past weekend, you know very well who Noah Mills is, even though you might need a look at his tanned buttocks to do a full identification.  The supermodel who resides in New York City, is best known for his exclusive work with D&G and now Michael Kors. Mills is now branching into acting now after having studied it for a brief period and if his gig in Sex and The City 2 is any indication of how hard his agent is pushing for him, I have no doubt we’ll be seeing a lot more of him soon.

Mills appears in the June 2010 issue of GQ Taiwan. Note: this is the face (and body) of a gorgeous man and below are pictures from the spread:

OGRES ON TOP, "SEX" IN THE BACKSEAT


Despite leading the pack early on Friday, Warner Bros.' Sex and the City 2 didn't have enough momentum to hold its lead on the Box Office tally this weekend slipping from first to third. Instead, Paramount's Shrek Forever After makes it two-for-two with an estimated $55.7 this Memorial Day weekend, as families flocked out to support the latest in the four-film franchise. Sex and the City 2 earned $37.1, or $51.3 including totals since its unique Thursday opening. Overseas, the film pulled in $27.6 million, bringing its international total to $78.9 million, meaning it should recoup its $100 million budget before next weekend. 

Disney's Prince of Persia by no means disgraced itself, accounting for second spot with $37.8 million this weekend domestically. Overseas it earned $28.3 million. The film however was made for $200 million, and it's doubtful whether it will earn this back in its theatrical run alone.  Again, if it were any other weekend Jake...  Sorry.

SEX AND THE CITY 2 REVIEW


At long last, The Super Bowl for Women has descended upon us, except here we don't have to sit through a boring Halftime Show and wardrobe malfunctions. Instead, Sex and The City 2 takes things to a new level, rewarding us with Liza Minnelli covering Beyoncé (Gays 1, Straight Men 0) and a very deliberate Nip Slip or three. Even better, I'd say.

The Sex and the City franchise is something you either get or don't get. Sitting in on a Media Screening early this morning, it was clear who got the some of the film's subtly humorous moments -namely female reviewers- versus some of the male reviewers whom I hardly heard a peep from in the film's two and a half hour duration. I however, am Man and I love Sex and The City - and I enjoyed this sequel a great deal.

Picking up where 2008's Sex and The City The Movie left off, the sequel explores the central themes of adapting to married life, fidelity, Menopause, coping with Motherhood and cross-cultural perceptions of sexuality. Carrie Bradshaw or Carrie Preston (Sarah Jessica Parker) now, makes it clear to Mr. Big (Chris Noth) that she's always been more "Coco Chanel than Coq au Vin". That is, she refuses to live a boring Cookie-Cutter life, being content at home watching television with her husband. "I did not sign up for this", she refutes when Mr. Big presents her with an Anniversary gift of a television set in their bedroom. She wants romance and sparkle and as Mr. Big feels an increasing need to settle down and live low-key, Carrie still craves excitement, opting for Movie Premieres over sitting at home eating Take-Out with Mr. Big.  It's apparent that the couple has hit a roadblock, resulting in the proposed resolution of perhaps taking two days off a week from one another. Being overly analytical as usual, Carrie begins to worry that their marriage may be headed for trouble.

JAKE GYLLENHAAL EXCLUSIVE TORONTO PHOTOS


Jake Gyllenhaal has officially taken over Toronto doing a whirlwind media tour of the city in targeting every demographic possible with interviews on CBC's The Hour, eTalk Live, MTV Live and Entertainment Tonight Canada.  Dividing his time predominantly in half hour slots with each outlet, Gyllenhaal had his time managed with precision in an effort to sway a portion of the female audience who will be flocking this weekend to see Sex and The City 2, instead to see Disney's Prince if Persia, in which he stars. 

I caught Gyllenhaal at MTV today after a very condensed appearance on the station's staple program MTV Live with hosts Daryn Jones and Nicole Holness.  Trying constantly to steer the topic of conversation to a more professional tone, the handsome actor had no idea what he signed up for with the intimate audience.   And although Jones complained about not having enough time with Gyllenhaal, they seemed to have time to waste airing a near-two minute parody done by one of the station's interns on a mock-workout of Jake's.  Funny?  Not so much.

PREVIEW: SEX AND THE CITY 2 ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK


At long last we are able to preview the Sex and the City 2: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack and although it's nowhere as strong as Sex and The City: Music From the Original Motion Picture, this one is far more kitschy and entertaining.  With contributions from artists like Dido, Erykah Badu, Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson/Leona Lewis and even the film's four stars, the disc has just about everybody wondering.  You know you're dying to hear it, so here are some full previews from the disc, which sees a May 25, 2010 release (audio content owned by Warner Music):

THE LADIES OF SEX & THE CITY ON ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY


OMG.  Hook me up with a copy of this right away.  The next issue of Entertainment Weekly has the ladies of Sex and The City looking more a semblance of themselves than some recent promotional shots that have surfaced, and it hits newstands tomorrow, Friday, May 14, 2010

In the write-up by we learn how John Corbett (Aidan) got his revenge after being excluded from the Sex and The City movie.  Corbett says, "I love it, because I was ultra-jealous of those guys when they got to be in the first movie. I called Noth on his birthday while I was there. I passed the phone around. I couldn’t wait to rub it in, ­because he was really bummed out that he couldn’t come. I like creating jealousy.” Revenge is sweet, isn't it?  Click here to read more details about the movie's plot.

Two more weeks to go until release day.  I cannot contain my excitement.  In case you missed them the first time, check out these photos I got of and with the lovely Ms. Parker on her recent visit to Toronto.

RACHEL MCADAMS REPLACES KIM CATRALL IN SEX & THE CITY 2?


Oh wow!  It looks like Rachel McAdams has replaced fellow Canadian actress Kim Catrall as Samantha in the upcoming Sex and The City 2 movie.  Kiddingtee-hee.  Although everybody and their blind Grandma can see that this just-released poster for the movie is Adobe Photoshop-ulous, I cannot deny that it only excites me more to see this!  May 27th!!

NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET (2010) DEBUTS HUGE


Although it is an unnecessary release, Warner Bros./New Line Cinema's Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) is expected to debut huge this weekend.  Based on early numbers from last night, the horror remake brought in a whopping $15.8 million alone, which is more than many movies make on an opening weekend. It is expected to pull in $32 million this weekend.

Of course, the film is being trashed by critics, receiving an appauling 15% rating on critical consensus site Rotten Tomatoes.  The plus side is that the deliciously creepy Jackie Earle Haley (Little Children, Shutter Island) is getting the exposure he deserves, although I have a feeling these monster numbers are from girls clamouring to see blonde Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz and his body o'steel.  Did any of you see it yet?  Is it that bad?

May is going to be a huge month for Warner Bros./New Line as Sex and The City 2 is already selling out by the theatre-full weeks before its May 27th release.
