'Gossip Girl' Holds The Key To NYC's Private Gramercy Park

June 29, 2009 at 10:00 AM | 1 Comment

Even though we still have more than two months before the gang on Gossip Girl starts "college," the show begins filming the new season today amidst rumors that a new cast member will show up. Apparently, Joanna Garcia, star of the now defunct Privileged, has booked a four-episode arc as Nate’s love interest. We can’t wait to see what Vanessa has to say about the new girl who is “a slightly evil Miss America-type from a conservative Southern family.”

We also hear filming permit signs are posted all around Gramercy Park, including a few in front of the Gramercy Park Hotel for today's shoot. GPH, being one of the hot luxe hotel of the city, has a price to match their poshness, but the Gramercy does offer a few special package deals to help out those of us who didn't grow up on the Upper East Side.

'Entourage' Takes A Coffee Break in L.A.

June 22, 2009 at 4:07 PM | 0 Comments

Rumor has it, the cast of Entourage will be filming at headquarters for all Hollywood wannabes-- The Urth Caffé on Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.

We're sure "Vinnie Chase" aka Adrian Grenier is pleased with today's filming location since The Urth Caffe is an organic coffee company that carries its own brand of whole bean coffees and teas. Their specialties include extreme dark roasts like "Old Grandpa" and "Manhattan Mudd".

For the truly dedicated, or at least wealthy, Entourage fan, Charity Folks is auctioning off VIP tickets to the show's Season 6 premiere on July 9th. The package includes two tickets to the premiere and after party, a suite at The Standard L.A., and dinner at Koi.

The "Buy It Now" price on the package is a mere $20,000. Say what? We know it's for charity and all but c'mon, no one loves Entourage that much, do they?

Robert Pattinson Takes Manhattan (And Girls Try to Take a Piece of Him)

June 17, 2009 at 10:23 AM | 0 Comments

Robert Pattinson began shooting his latest movie, Remember Me, in New York City this week. His character in the movie, Tyler Roth, is a young man whose family is torn apart by his brother's recent suicide. It's not exactly an uplifting summer blockbuster but it might give him some street cred with critics who were less than impressed with his work in Twilight.

Naturally, he still can't escape the Tween Twilighters and Pattinson caused quite a stir when he filmed exterior shots in Washington Square Park on Monday. Over 200 girls lined the perimeter of the park watching him film and as he emerged onto the street once the shoot was over they descended on him, pulling at his clothes, screaming his name and literally, throwing themselves on him.

George Clooney Goes 'Up In The Air' for Frequent Flier Miles Quest

May 26, 2009 at 9:21 AM | 0 Comments

George Clooney is filming a movie that will surely have the folks at FlyerTalk forking over $11 a pop to see it on opening weekend. "Up In The Air" is about a man trying to accumulate one million frequent flier miles while at the same time, trying to land a job at a mysterious management company called MythTech.

So far, it doesn't look like the movie has any tips about scamming the system for a million miles. Nope, it looks like Clooney's character will actually be flying a million miles as most of the filming has taken place at airports across the U.S.

Adam Sandler Gets In Touch With His Dark Side

May 19, 2009 at 1:36 PM | 0 Comments

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.

Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner and their two kids, Violet and Serafina, have been spotted around Ben's hometown of Boston recently. But Ben isn't in town visiting his old neighborhood, he's actually working on a new movie, "The Company Men", also starring Tommy Lee Jones and Kevin Costner, as workers trying to survive a workforce reduction at a large corporation.

Today, they are filming at 5 Union Park on Boston's South End. We watched Tommy Lee Jones film a scene at this location a few weeks ago. The PAs wouldn't let us get too close but it looked like his character was having his car repossessed.

Orlando Bloom Filming 'Main Street' in Durham, N.C.

April 9, 2009 at 9:00 AM | 2 Comments

"Main Street", featuring Orlando Bloom, Andrew McCarthy, Ellen Burstyn, Patricia Clarkson, and Colin Firth began filming in Durham, NC this week. According to IMDb, the movie is about a small town, Five Points, and a diverse group of residents whose lives change when an outsider brings something new and potentially dangerous into their quiet town.

The Durham Convention and Visitor’s Bureau had published a map of all locations and the dates when filming would be taking place but the map has mysteriously disappeared. They must have realized the potential chaos that would ensue once thousands of Orlando Bloom fans knew where he would be on any given day. Luckily, several savvy bloggers captured the information before it went poof. Check out the tentative list of locations for the four-week shoot after the jump:

SJP Filming in NYC But No 'Sex' Here

March 19, 2009 at 9:11 AM | 0 Comments

"Did You Hear About The Morgans?", starring Sarah Jessica Parker and Hugh Grant, is filming in the Southpoint Park on Roosevelt Island today. The romantic comedy, about an estranged couple in New York City who witness a murder and are relocated to rural Wyoming as part of the witness-protection program, has been filming in NYC for about two weeks.

This won’t be the first time SJP has been to Roosevelt Island, a narrow strip of land between Manhattan in Queens. Parker actually lived there for a time as a kid. She told The Independent that her large family (she is one of eight children) arrived in New York from Cincinnati in an overcrowded red VW van, hovering on the border between theater gypsies and welfare cases. Her family camped out on Roosevelt Island for a time when they first arrived to the Big Apple. "It was meant to be a Utopia," she says.

"DYHATM" will move to New Mexico in early May where Roy, Pecos, Santa Fe, Galisteo and Los Alamo will fill in for small town Wyoming.

'Gossip Girl' Returns to The Russian Tea Room

March 11, 2009 at 8:41 AM | 0 Comments

Everyone’s favorite upper east siders are filming at a New York landmark today. The entire cast of “Gossip Girl” will be returning to The Russian Tea Room to finish a scene they began yesterday. Not only did Serena get arrested during yesterday‘s shoot but some drama went down involving Blair (as usual), can’t wait to see what trouble they get into today.

The Russian Tea Room, situated in a six-story former Brownstone on 57th St between Carnegie Tower and Metropolitan Tower, is known more for its over-the-top décor, like a 15-foot acrylic juggling bear who doubles as an aquarium, a gold-hued Fabergé egg, and red banquettes, than its food.
