George Clooney's Mustache Enjoyed Roswell, And You Can Too

November 6, 2009 at 1:44 PM | by cmb | 1 Comment

"The Men Who Stare at Goats," starring George Clooney's mustache, Ewan McGregor, and Kevin Spacey hits theaters today. The movie, about a reporter who tags along on a bizarre military mission, was filmed last year in New Mexico and Puerto Rico. The cast spent the bulk of the shoot at the New Mexico Military Institute in Roswell.

If you're scheming to make a visit to Area 51 or just check out Roswell and the movie's backdrop, here's our take on where to stay and what to in the area, aside from growing out your own Clooney-stache.

Joined By George Clooney's Shaggy Haircut On The Basketball Court

November 20, 2008 at 9:15 AM | by egw | 0 Comments

Call your lawyer, John Krasinski! George Clooney sported a shaggy moptop as he played a pickup game in Roswell, New Mexico yesterday.

Clooney followed the production of his new movie "Men Who Stare At Goats" from Mexico to New Mexico, where the desert will double as Iraq. Locals can look forward to Kevin Spacey, Jeff Bridges and Ewan McGregor coming through town for their roles in the movie, which is about the US Army's attempts to develop psychological warfare techniques.

Clooney directed and co-stared with Krasinski in the period football comedy "Leatherheads." Female fans might disapprove, but don't worry! It's just a wig.

ET Travel: Gillian Anderson Let Down Her Guard

July 24, 2008 at 9:00 AM | by egw | 0 Comments

Hasn't Gillian Anderson seen "Alien"? Getting pregnant while promoting a movie about extraterrestrial life... that takes guts. The actress even walked the red carpet for "X-Files: I Want To Believe" with long-time TV costar David Duchovny.

Guess everyone's into aliens these days: The Roswell UFO Festival reported a 25 percent jump in attendance this year, while local hotels were sold out and the city moved $15,000 of merchandise over 4 days. In these recessionary times, are we counting on visitors from the sky to save us?

Signs From Roswell

June 9, 2005 at 2:13 PM | by sedona | 0 Comments

Now that Stars Wars has been released you may be wondering what you have to anticipate next. We hope not. But nevertheless, don't pack up the light sabers and hoods just yet...

July 1-4th marks a bigger freakfest then SW we would venture to guess: The Roswell 2005 UFO Festival in Roswell, NM, where it all started. Festival highlights include live concerts by the "Alien Oldies", lectures with titles like "They Came While You Slept", and workshops such as "Bring Your Evidence to Light." Not to mention plays, telescope viewings and a parade.

UFO enthusiasts are not exactly hedge fund managers, so no worries on prices here.  It is an earthly $15 per concert, workshops are $10 for singles or $15 for couples and planetarium entry is a mere $3.50. Events are taking place each day from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., although we're sure this crowd will be up all night--staring into the cornfields or the desert.
