One of the best parts of my job is to meet people I’ve always been a HUGE fan of….and that was the case today with Kevin Smith…he’s in town for a bunch of reasons…he’s promoting his new feature film “COP OUT” starring Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan (it’s the first time Kevin’s directing a film that he hasn’t written and it’s out late Feb), he’s also doing his brilliant storytelling thing on Friday night at R T hall (but as usual…it’s sold out!), and he’s working closely with Gretzky for a charitable cause. Kevin is always so endearing, gracious and down to Earth in his interviews….refreshingly honest… and he’s truly appreciative of the mad love he gets from all of us Canucks…..and the feeling is mutual…the guy is a genius…take a look at the pics and see for yourself just how generous he is…he stopped to take time with everyone who wanted an autograph and a picture outside our studios and even took time for all of our staffers who wanted to snap their moment with the Smith-ster…..continued success Kev…the trailor for COP OUT looks hilarious…looking forward to seeing what your’e up to next!
What a Great Morning yesterday!! We met a lot of Amazing People. We arrived in Wiarton on Monday afternoon and dropped off our stuff at the B&B (The Gadd About) and went to pick up a hat at RAM Trophies – the official Wiarton Willie Apparel store…then to dinner at the Wiarton Inn. We met the folks from the Community & the Shadow Cabinet, who treated us to a lovely dinner. Todd, the owner of Northern Confections gave us the keys to his Candy Store…just told us to make sure we lock up… Jack Pot!! Click the Play Button to check out our Adventure. On the way back into the City we stopped in at Rogers Cable 53 Grey County. I was a guest on daytime with Diane Foulds & Dave Carr – See the picture below.
No scandal but what a show!!! From Gaga and Elton to Pink’s Cirque Du Soleil showstopper….Beyonce and Drake and everything in between….the Grammy awards did not disappoint! With 10 nods and 6 wins…a record-winning Beyonce proves she reigns the music scene as Queen….Taylor Swift finally got an uninterrupted acceptance speech in….J Lo looked as gorg as ever and Drake is doing Canada proud by ending the show with gusto….and Britney Spears well she…well she…wait a minute! Nothing…not a cutaway, not a red carpet moment, not a whisper….yet she was there with her dark hair and ‘boy friend’….perhaps the scandal has yet to surface??? Check out the fashion hits and misses on CityNews at 6 tonight…I’m on my way to get Lisa Tant’s (FLARE mag) rants on all things dazzling and maddening….have a great Monday friends…talk to you tomorrow for our weekly Bachelor chat….check out CityNews tonight for my full wrap on the Grammy’s!

We had the privilege of being Jessie’s FIRST TV interview after her big send off on Monday night’s episode of The Bachelor. Let me just say…she is every bit as sweet and lovely and beautiful as you’d think (and more). We were only allowed to talk about certain topics (understandably so) and she was as refreshingly honest with us as she was with Jake Pavelka (even though it came back to haunt her when he denied her a rose)….have no fear…Jessie is not a woman scorned…she says her and Jake became good friends but the chemistry just wasn’t there. Now for the big question…is sweet Jessie up to being the next Bachelorette if asked? We know the producers love them some Canadian talent (like Gillian). If you missed Jessie on the show this morning…click on the video and hear for yourself!
We wish you all of the best in luck and love and all things great in life Jessie….Jake missed out BIG TIME with you!

Yesterday was Family Literacy Day and I hosted the Media Event at the Royal Conservatory of Music. Robert Munsch read & sang from his book “Love You Forever”. I cried..I could never get through it without crying when I read it to Jackson & Georgia.
I am proud to be an Ambassador for literacy and to work with ABC CANADA Literacy Foundation to help raise awareness of the importance of literacy in everyone’s life.
