Today, if you happen to be in Southborough, MA and hankering for some celeb-spotting, Adam Sandler and his favorite sidekick, Rob Schneider, as well as David Spade, Salma Hayek and Chris Rock, are all to be found at Pilgrim Church at 15 Common Street.

The usually upbeat cast will be at the church all week filming a somber funeral scene for Adam's new movie, "Grown Ups", which is being called "The Big Chill 2.0" as the plot involves a group of friends who reunite on Fourth of July weekend twenty years after graduating from high school.

Yesterday, several lucky onlookers received autographs and handshakes from cast members Sandler, Spade, Rock and Schneider but unfortunarely they didn’t see much of the actual scenes or Salma Hayek, since most of the action took place inside. ]]> cmb 2009-05-19T13:36:29-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/11/25/223856/53

For the past two months we've been tracking movies filming in Michigan. And, oh, what we’ve seen: From Christina Ricci at the RennFest to Rob Schneider partying in Greektown, it’s been quite a ride.

But just because our column is ending, filming in Michigan continues. In fact, according to the movie's official website, “Intent” begins shooting in Novi tomorrow. The movie stars Andrew McCarthy, which is good for him since his day job on "Lipstick Jungle" seems to be coming to an end. Oh, and did we mention that "Twilight" phenom, Jackson Rathbone is also starring? You'll be able to check out set pictures on the movie's website once filming is underway.

"Virgin on Bourbon Street" is filming yet another party scene in Greektown, Detroit tomorrow from 8 am to 8 pm. This marks the fourth time the production has been in Greektown in less than a month, which got us thinking, what exactly is Greektown?

Turns out, it's a small area of Downtown Detroit that features streets lined with neon signs, restaurants, bars, shops and a casino. That explains why they chose Greektown to stand in for Bourbon Street!

Of course, there are several Greek restaurants in the area, named for the population that settled in the nabe. Two of the most popular restaurants are the Astoria Bakery and the New Hellas Café which was once featured on Emeril Live; both are located on Monroe Street. The most notable structure in Greektown is the Second Baptist Church, at 441 Monroe Street. It was used as a stop on the Underground Railroad and is the home of Michigan's first African American congregation. ]]> cmb 2008-11-18T11:00:15-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/11/10/233633/82

Apparently, one of the stars of "Demoted" thought they were too good for a hotel gym while filming in Michigan last month. The manager of the Novi Sheraton, where the cast stayed for the duration of the shoot, told The Livingston Daily that the film’s stars had some unusual requests including treadmills in their rooms and specific kinds of water. Who do you think was being a diva? Our money’s on Sean Astin. If you want to live the life of a movie star, rooms at the Novi Sheraton start at $174, though you may have to bring your own treadmill.

Rob Schneider on the other hand has been acting like anything but a diva while filming "Virgin on Bourbon Street" in Detroit. The comedian told News Blaze that he doesn't mind the attention he has been getting since arriving in Michigan:

(In LA) they could yawn if they see Tom Cruise walking down the street, but here, people are really excited. They couldn't have been nicer.

We wouldn't expect any less from Rob; he seems like the type of guy who likes to be among the people.

If you've had a celebrity sighting in Michigan, let us know at tips@jaunted.com, especially if he or she was a diva!

We've learned even more about "Virgin on Bourbon Street," the new Rob Schneider movie filming in Detroit. Variety reports "It is a sex comedy that sees a night of debauchery threaten the university career of a sexually abstinent woman student." It also appears that Schneider is making a movie sans Adam Sandler for a change. If you want to see the man for yourself, they'll be filming at the bars at Greektown in Detroit tomorrow night.]]> cmb 2008-11-05T13:30:07-05:00 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/10/30/231730/87

No plans for Halloween? How about hanging out at a frat party with Rob Schneider? As we mentioned last week, Rob is filming "Virgin on Bourbon Street" in Michigan and they are looking for extras for several scenes.]]> cmb 2008-10-31T09:30:04-05:00 42.3613760 -83.065451 http://www.jaunted.com/story/2008/10/27/14598/559

We've heard through the grapevine that Cloris Leachman might be sashaying into Michigan next month for the movie "Intent" which begins filming in Livonia on November 10. This, of course, all depends on how far she makes it on "Dancing with the Stars." At the rate she is going, she might actually make it to the end.

If you want a chance to share the screen with the Oscar winning actress, the movie's official site says they are still casting extras. Maybe you could even ask her to dance!]]> pbb 2008-10-27T15:30:02-05:00 Search Jaunted string http://www.jaunted.com/search/
