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.

THE HILLS' WHITNEY PORT IN TORONTO FOR "TRUE WHIT" | AUTOGRAPH GIVEAWAY

Whitney Port & Mr. Will-W.

Having gotten her big break on MTV's Reality Show hit The Hills and then her own subsequent Spin-off The City, Whitney Port is an Entrepreneur in every sense of the word. The 25 year-old Los Angeles native is an Actress, Model, Fashion Designer and now Author of her first-ever Book True Whit, a guide to Style and Beauty.

After a busy day of Press including appearances on CHUM-FM and CTV's The Marilyn Denis Show, Port spent some time with Fans tonight at Indigo Eaton Centre where an estimated 500 Fans showed-up to have their copies of her Book personalized. Despite a Candid Photos Only policy, Port still took time to pose for Photos with Fans. In fact, Toronto Fans were given the privilege of owning Harper Collins' True Whit one day before its official release date, February 1, 2011.

Among the meals she enjoyed in the City were a Dinner at top-rated Scarpetta situated in the ultra-chic Thompson Hotel and a Sushi dinner she had after her Book Signing this evening - a productive and happy stay in the City. She is headed off to New York City tomorrow for her next promotional stop-off.
