Julia Roberts Deals With Disruptive Asses While Filming In India
Filming the movie version of the popular book Eat, Pray, Love, Julia Roberts has been all over the world. Now that she's moved on to the "pray" portion in India, a closed set hasn't been easy. As they shoot in the town of Mirzapur, south of New Delhi, Roberts has been hounded by everything from paparazzi to gawking townspeople to—and these won't relent—asses.
Donkeys interrupted filming the other day when, during a scene, they wouldn't stop braying. Stupid asses, making noise about celebrities trying to work. Don't they know who Julia Roberts is?

Julia Roberts Filming 'Eat, Pray, Love' In NYC and India
Julia Roberts is spending the summer in the hot heat of New York City where she is filming Eat, Pray, Love. The movie is based on Elizabeth Gilbert's best-selling memoir of the same name, in which she retraces her soul-searching, one year journey through Rome for pleasure, Mumbai for spirituality, and Bali for "balancing."
Today, Julia along with Javier Bardem and James Franco, is filming at a home on Pacific Street in Brooklyn. The movie will continue filming throughout the city through the end of the month.
If you're spending the summer in the city as well, the New York City Explorer Pass has just been extended to included a ten attraction package for $209. The pass lets you choose from over forty popular attractions like the NBC Studio Tour, The Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building for a savings of up to 45%

Private Park Travel: Julia Roberts' Kids Play Where You Can't
Hazel and Phinnaeus, twins of megastar Julia Roberts, ran around in New York City's exclusive Gramercy Park recently while younger brother Henry tagged along with the nanny.
Too bad you won't be visiting the lovely oasis of Gramercy: Keys to the private park are granted only to people who live in buildings surrounding it, and the property is tightly controlled. But those who have keys often don't use the park, the president of the Gramercy Park Block Association told The New York Times:
It was always an ornamental park. A lot of people don't even go in to enjoy it. They're so thrilled just to see it. It's like a hotel room with a view of the ocean."
Of course, with Madison Square Park and Union Square within walking distance, it's not as if neighborhood residents lack for park space, but as the old saw goes, the grass is always greener in the park you can't get into. Just ask London residents!

Windsurfing and Julia Roberts in Morocco
Julia Roberts is currently shooting the political drama Charlie Wilson's War in Morocco on Thursday. The film, based on a Texas congressman's dealings with Afghanistan during the war with the Soviets, sounds like it could leave us as confounded as Syriana did.
In any event, the movie is filming in Essauira, a small fishing harbor that has recently become a haven for windsurfers.
Surfing enthusiasts say the surf is better south of Essaouira where it is even windier for kitesurfers and windsurfers. A small town just north of Agadir called Taghazout is known for both its good breaks, high winds, and friendly local surf culture. Just in case Julia and the crew wants to stay active. Of course, you can also stroll into the the center of Essauira and put a monkey on your head. All depends what kind of traveler you are.
