50 Cent's Guide To Enjoying Grand Rapids, Michigan

Grand Rapids, MI has a new, unlikely, fan. 50 Cent is currently in Grand Rapids to film Gun and he has nothing but love for the city. The rapper/writer/producer/businessman says he prefers the small town vibe of Grand Rapids as opposed to working in NYC where everyone wants a piece of him.

"I was comfortable and able to focus on the actual project because of that. New York city is rough because so many people are conscious of everything that I do,” he said. “I’m in a scene and they want me to sign a piece a paper or take a picture in the middle of the scene. It’s like, ‘I can’t!’ And they don’t understand that.”

The Jolie-Pitts Spend The Holidays in NYC So Angie Can Get Back To Work

While everyone else is enjoying time off this week, Angelina Jolie is busy working. The mother of six dragged her whole brood, including Brad Pitt, to New York City last week so she could finish shooting additional scenes for the spy thriller Salt. The production took time off for Christmas but is back on today, filming a scene around W 28th St and 11 Ave in Manhattan. Angie spent most of last spring filming the project in which she stars as Evelyn Salt, a CIA officer accused of being a Russian spy. Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Andre Braugher also star in the film due in theaters next year.

The family appears to be making the most of their time in NYC, without breaking the bank. The clan sipped on hot chocolate at a Café Metro last Monday. Eyewitnesses claim Brad waited in line with everyone else while Ang got Maddox, Pax, Shiloh and Zahara situated. Brad and Ang were also spotted buying hats and gloves for the kids from a street vendor in Manhattan, proving even the rich and famous like to take advantage of a deal every once in a while.

'The Conspirator' Descends on Savannah

Savannah locals have become accustomed to sharing the streets with horses and buggies over the past few weeks. But they aren't just another tourist attraction; they're actually props for The Conspirator. Robert Redford is directing the film, which is set in 1865 Washington, D.C. and re-creates the trial of Mary Surratt, the only woman among those executed for conspiring to kill President Abraham Lincoln. He's brought an all-star cast along with him too. Robin Wright Penn is playing Mary Surratt and James McAvoy plays her attorney, Frederick Aiken. Justin Long, Alexis Bledel, Tom Wilkinson, Kevin Kline and Evan Rachel Wood have all joined the cast as well.

Savannah's historical look lends itself well to the period piece, though they've still had to make some small changes along the way. For instance, while filming last week, the cobblestone streets in Savannah's historical district were covered with dirt and period flags and signage were brought in for accuracy. The city's famous squares have come in handy too. The Campion-Fowlkes House on Oleans Square has already been used in a party scene and nearby Chatham Square was used for exteriors. Today, Redford continues filming in Savannah's historic district, along West Bay Street.

Right Now, Detroit Is Good For Tom Cruise And Barbecue

They were filming an elaborate explosion scene near Woodward Ave and Mack Ave for "Red Dawn," a remake of the 1984 classic starring Patrick Swayze.
