Toronto: Rachel McAdams Recycles Her Vacations

egw — 2009-03-09T08:44:47-05:00

Rachel McAdams took her new sweetheart, Josh Lucas, home to Canada for a romantic visit last week. Raised in St. Thomas, a suburb of Toronto, the pair ate dinner a deux and explored the streets where McAdams shot the forthcoming adaptation "The Time Traveler's Wife."

What's wrong with this picture, besides the way it makes fans of "The Notebook" homicidal? McAdams has been snapped all around Toronto before... with ex Ryan Gosling, with whom she got back together late last year only to once again break it off with him, reasons unknown. In fact, Rachel and Josh were spotted at Grace, the same restaurant where Ryan and Rachel had a steamy reunion last year.

Rachel, do you know what you are? You're a serial minibreaker. Named for the trip Hugh Grant and Bridget Jones go on in the instant classic "Bridget Jones' Diary," this is the trip she takes all her boyfriends on to the old familiar haunts of the homeland. The difference between us and McAdams is that when we recycle vacations among significant others -- or heck, college roommates, visiting relatives or foreign exchange students -- we don't have a team of paparazzi documenting our every move.

Brooklyn: 'Sherlock Holmes' Investigates Brooklyn

cmb — 2009-01-29T14:25:57-05:00

You may have heard some rumblings about drama on the set of "Sherlock Holmes" late last year. The film, starring Robert Downey Jr., Rachel McAdams, and Jude Law, has had its fair share of mishaps. First, it was announced the film’s director Guy Ritchie and wife Madonna were getting divorced. Then RDJ was injured while filming and to top it off a tanker truck exploded on set. The movie was filming throughout London for most of the fall and early winter with locations including Freemason's Hall, St. Paul’s Cathedral, and Brompton Cemetery.

"Sherlock Holmes" has finally made its way to this side of the pond. Today, they are filming at the Marcy Avenue Armory, 355 Marcy Avenue in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

The armory is a “qualified film production facility”, meaning all state and city tax credits apply when the building is used. Since money talks, it is a popular location. “I Am Legend”, “28 Days Later”, and “Meet the Parents” were all filmed in the Marcy Avenue Armory whose history and architecture make it a perfect backdrop for a period piece like “Sherlock Holmes”. Hopefully, the movie’s “curse” hasn’t followed it’s cast and crew stateside but just in case we’d steer clear of Marcy Ave in Williamsburg for the next few weeks.

Los Angeles: Rachel McAdams For America's Sweetheart (Even Though She's Canadian)

egw — 2008-11-14T08:45:13-05:00

See that? She's pushing her own cart! Like a real person! No amount of magazine fluff pieces have the power like this photo to convince us Rachel McAdams is just a regular girl who occasionally gets discombobulated from hauling around things like her laptop sleeve.

Of course, regular girls don't get to trot off to London and co-star in the new Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr., directed by Guy Ritchie, but that's beside the point.

Toronto: Missed Connections in Toronto: The Admit It, You've Seen "The Notebook" Edition

OK, so the romantic weepie starring Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling was pushed on us when we were terribly ill and couldn't fight back. But even if you believe it's a load of Hollywood hooey, the reunion of the movie's It Couple can make you believe, unlike Gena Rowlands, that love will find you again.

And with the Toronto Film Festival just a few weeks away, don't you want to be seduced in the dark?

Toronto: Mushy Reunion Travel: Gosling and McAdams, Together Again

egw — 2008-08-21T09:15:14-05:00

Must be something in the northern breezes: 2006 power couple Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams have gotten back together in Toronto, not far enough from the prying eyes of the fans.

The couple, who broke up sometime in 2007, were spotted together a few weeks ago when Gosling DJ'ed a club in Los Angeles, but they went on a romantic date to the "modern farmhouse" restaurant Grace and left holding hands. Maybe now that they're between movies, they can rekindle the romance!

Vancouver: Chasing Vancouver: Ice Cube Finally Shows Up

Ice Cube is in town...but it's not quite the party it might once have been. Mostly he's been shooting scenes in tranquil Deer Lake Park, a thoroughly charming Vancouver suburb.

Pierce Brosnan is the big spender this week, going out to West Restaurant and Bar, where it's quite easy to drop hundreds on dinner. However, Joe Fortes, the seafood place we mentioned before, seems to be the place to go, according to The Vancouverite: Jessica Alba and Edward James Olmos got their grub on there. Ice Cube did go out to the Sutton Place Hotel, which previously hosted Kristin Davis and Matthew Perry. Copycat! Speaking of which, Jessica Alba and Rachel McAdams shots scenes at the Hollywood Theatre. With any luck, Rachel was there first and left a Miss Manners book as a gift for Jessica.

Vancouver: Chasing Vancouver: Jessica Alba Has No Manners

It's a battle of suger versus spice up in Vancouver right now, as various starlets swan about the city making friends and/or enemies along the way. Kristin Chenoweth took time out of her day to chat with fans, and managed to stay pleasant about it, whereas Jessica Alba can't even shop on the company dime without being rude to people. She just strides up and down Robson Street leaving a trail of murderous Canucks in her path. She might want to take a few pointers from Rachel McAdams, who's keeping busy at work - she might not get out much, but across the board people think she's lovely--she is also Canadian so that helps. She shot scenes with Pierce Brosnan at the Ovaltine Cafe, which gets a rather atmospheric write-up here that's probably a good indication of the tone of their movie.

The sets are moving farther and farther out in to the suburbs, but the downtime action refuses to leave the West End. Be sure to scroll up and down and all around on the map so you don't miss any of the travel tips!
