I know it was only a couple of days ago that we gave you all of those fantastic stills and new clips for Marc Forster’s Machine Gun Preacher, but they’ve released yet another one. I’m gonna be a blubbering mess when it’s over I just know it. *shakes fist at Gerard Butler*.

This one is called “Bug You There?” and features Madeline Carroll as Sam and Lynne Childers’ (Butler, Michelle Monaghan) daughter Sara.

Last night in Toronto, Butler and Monaghan attended the Creative Coalition Awards where Monaghan was honored with the “Spotlight” Award. Today, fearless leader gets to go to the TIFF premiere of Machine Gun Preacher. I tried to overnight myself to her house up in the Great White North, but FedEx wouldn’t ship live cargo and I needed the airholes in the box.

(BTW, anyone notice anything familiar about these pics? Why aren’t there rumors swirling around Butler and Monaghan? Probably because she’s happily married with baby. But there is nothing different about the way these two people appear in these pics. People are so silly).

Gerard Butler is in Toronto and seems to be everywhere. It’s making stalking extremely difficult but never impossible. He, along with Rhys Ilfan, Juliette Lewis, Anna Kendrick and the biotch whose tummy he’s touching Michelle Monaghan are all at The Creative Coalition’s 2011 Spotlight Initiative Awards at the 26th Annual Toronto International Film Festival at The Roosevelt Room. This all went down last night while I was peeing myself for being so close to George Clooney. These two should just get a room and get it over with.

Tonight Gerard premieres Machine Gun Preacher at Roy Thomson Hall. I’ll be there, but like Killer Elite I’ll be the biotch in the balcony angry-like because I can’t get closer to him. Unless of course I hang outside beforehand to catch him on the red carpet which means I risk losing my seat and missing the movie altogether. Decisions, decisions.

Enjoy the pictures. Gerard is looking mighty fine these days.

On Saturday September 10, 2011 George Clooney premiered The Descendants at the Elgin theatre in Toronto for the 2011 TIFF. This was a special premiere to be at. It was so exciting I can’t begin to describe it. People were screaming, everyone was happy. It didn’t matter that the crowds were insane we were all happy to see George Clooney and he was happy to greet the fans.

Like he always does, he showed up early, and we knew it was him by the screams. Then he walked up and down the lines of fans who lined up for him and signed autographs and took pictures. He was incredible.

Then within the venue itself he was on the press line for a while and I managed to get VERY close to him and seriously pictures don’t do this gorgeous man justice. He was so charming, so friendly, so nice and he posed with so many people for pictures you couldn’t believe it. I don’t know how he manages to do all that and stay so patient and happy about it.

In the press line I remember taking shots and a man kept looking at me and I looked at him with dagger eyes thinking ‘please move, you are blocking my shot of George Clooney‘. It turned out to be the movie’s director and writer Alexander Payne and I have to say he is a very nice man. I feel bad for thinking that but I mean, hey, George Clooney was mere feet from me.

Alexander Payne came out to talk a bit and said ‘Welcome to the George Clooney festival’. He wasn’t far off. The cast didn’t come out before the movie, but we were told there would be a Q&A afterwards where they would come out.

I really enjoyed the movie. There were some very funny moments but a lot of sad ones as well. His wife in the movie spends the entire movie in a coma and eventually is taken off life support. She has two daughters and it’s just very sad. The girls that play the daughters and the young guy who plays a friend were exceptional in the movie. They were played by Amara Miller, Nick Krause and Shailene Woodley.

At the end of the movie when the cast came out to speak, George talked about how the actress who played is comatose wife, played by Patricia Hastie would take something before her scenes to make her sleep and that they would film the scenes and when it was lunch break just leave her and go get lunch as she wouldn’t notice anyways. It was hysterical. I’m not giving what he said any justice because it was really quite funny.

Enjoy the pictures. There are tons (thank you to my sweetheart of a husband) and I wish you could have all been there with me. It was a great experience.

Jason Statham, Robert De Niro, Clive Owen at TIFF (I Was There!) PHOTOS

As I am typing this it is 10:45 p.m. on Saturday, September 10, 2011. I am SO freaking tired but I want to get these out there because some very wonderful friends, and viewers have been so excited for me to have this experience I feel like they were with me.  I want to thank them for making the experience extra-special to share with them. Mostly I have to thank my husband who would have stepped on heads to get shots for me if that’s what he needed to do.

Killer Elite with Jason Statham, Robert De Niro, Clive Owen and Yvonne Strahovski was the first movie we saw for the 2011 TIFF. It was held at the Roy Thomson Hall and believe it or not, I’ve never been there (despite living in Toronto my entire life).

Because my email said pick up the tickets at the venue I went right there only to be told it’s in another building! They sent me far, when all I had to do was go down the stairs behind the f*ckernuts who sent me on a wild goose chase. It was so chaotic you have no idea. No one knew where to go and where they were going. Then the tickets were assigned to a section which was new to me with TIFF as I’ve always thought it’s wherever you can park it fastest.

We were in a balcony. Pretty much at the back of the venue. This is Jason Statham we are talking about. A man who’s almost-bald head I want to use as a loofah. I didn’t need to get close enough to touch him, but perhaps close enough to smell him.

So by this time I’m thinking f*ck you TIFF. I’m not happy. Until the jumbotron on the stage (which was showing the red carpet) showed the stars outside greeting fans. That was very cool. You’ll see some of those pics here.

Then the stars came out including the director, Gary McKendry who was talking but I was just staring at Jason Statham and mentally undressing him with my angry eyes.

I thought for sure that Jason Statham, Robert DeNiro, Clive Owen, Yvonne Strahovski would go to the podium and speak but they didn’t. Just the director. No offence Gary McKendry but at this point I was hoping you would trip backstage.

Then the movie came on. I had to pee at the very beginning. It seemed to go on FOREVER. I liked it but at times it was very difficult to understand what people were saying with the accents. I heard from others that they felt the same way. Robert De Niro was very funny in the movie.

Jason Statham’s girlfriend in the movie, played by Yvonne Strahovski was named Anne. With an ‘e’ at the end. You have no idea the feelings I got in my loins when I heard Jason Statham say the name Anne. With an ‘e’.  And it wasn’t preceded by ‘that crazy stalker-bitch’ either. It was in a loving way. I felt that was a sign from Mr. Statham and that perhaps all prior restraining orders would be forgiven.Hehe.

The pictures aren’t the best, but I was in the same room as Jason Statham and that is probably the closest I will ever get to him in this lifetime where I am not whisked away to jail or slapped with another restraining order.

If you want to read an intelligent post about this movie, my esteemed writer, Sheri has covered many posts. If you search “killer elite” on our site they’ll all pop up. It’s based on a true story and that is pretty harrowing.

Okay seriously now. In the main photo at the top of this post, doesn’t it look like Robert De Niro is looking right into our camera saying ‘you looking at me?’. I’m almost afraid to post this! Please don’t hurt me Mr. De Niro.

Artists for Peace and Justice is a fundraising organization founded in 2009 by director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby, The Next Three Days) to encourage peace and social justice by addressing issues of poverty, independence and autonomy around the world. Their immediate goal has been to build schools serving the poorest areas of Haiti and those hardest hit by the earthquake, and providing not only an education but hot meals, potable water and regular medical care to the children living in those areas. To that end, they’ve already established the Academy for Peace and Justice, the first free secondary school in Port-au-Prince. This year, the Academy marked the end of their first year with a graduation ceremony for its 7th grade students.

Since the word “artists” is right there in the title, it should come as no surprise that a lot of APJ’s board members are in the entertainment industry. They know something about a good party and APJ throws some of the best. Their event at Cannes, held for the third year in a row during the annual film festival, already rivals the big AMFAR event held every year for glitz and glamour.  For the second year, they’ve added a big blow-out in Toronto during its film festival. Last year, APJ has raised over $300,000 at TIFF.

Last night, Haggis along with APJ Board of Directors member Gerard Butler (also in town to promote Machine Gun Preacher and Coriolanus - had to get that in there) and popular CBC television personality George Stroumboulopoulos (great video found here)  hosted the event at Toronto’s AME restaurant/night club. Also in attendance was APJ Board of Directors member David Belle. All proceeds from the $150 (Canadian) entrance fee will go to APJ’s health, education and dignity initiatives.

There’s another big “do” today so maybe we’ll get pics of that as well!
