Currently in Toronto, Canada, it's 66 degrees Fahrenheit and party cloudy with a 100 percent chance of major star power moving in, thanks to the 35th annual Toronto International Film Festival, which kicks off tomorrow.

It is widely considered one of the most influential film festivals in the world alongside Sundance and Cannes. Certainly, it is Canada's premiere festival, attracting 500,000 guests in 2009 alone.

Because of its timing (just before Hollywood's push toward awards season) the 10-day event has also become the destination for Oscar-hopeful films to make their debut. In recent years, best picture winners "No Country for Old Men" and "Slumdog Millionaire" both premiered at TIFF.

Before he was president, Ronald Reagan was an actor. Now, the former leader of the United States, who died in 2004 at age 93, will be back on the big screen in an upcoming biopic about his life.

The project - titled "Reagan" - chronicles the Illinois native's life from boyhood to Hollywood to the Oval Office, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The $30 million motion picture, which will be out next year, is based on two Paul Kengor biographies about America's 40th president: "The Crusader" and "God and Ronald Reagan."

The movie has yet to be cast (James Brolin played Reagan in a 2003 miniseries) but producer Mark Joseph and screenwriter Jonas McCord are both attached to the project. While McCord admitted that he wasn't a fan of Reagan, he said he was intrigued by his backstory.

At the tender age of 9, Willow Smith is wasting no time in becoming the next star to branch out from her family tree.

The daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith - already a noted young fashionista - is pursuing a career in music and has the Internet abuzz with her first single, “Whip My Hair.”

The Rihanna-esque track is a drum-heavy ode to just letting it loose. Armed with lyrics like “I whip my hair back and forth…don’t let my haters take me off my grind,” it’s no wonder that the pint-sized diva in the making has quickly gained a celebrity following from some of the big kids.

This morning in the "Showbiz Tonight" meeting the big buzz centered on programs like MTV’s reality show “Teen Mom” and ABC Family’s drama, “The Secret Life of an American Teenager.”

Are these shows glorifying teen pregnancy? Or are they just raising awareness of the struggles in the lives of these young mothers? The debate was on in today's meeting!

"Showbiz Tonight" producer Natasha Haynes-Smith doesn’t believe these shows glorify teen motherhood. She said this morning, “I think it shows how hard it is to be a mom at any age. The show completely breaks my heart but I can’t stop watching. It’s train wreck T.V. in a heart-wrenching sort of way.”
