Thanks to Whedonesque (the premiere Joss Whedon fansite) for posting this great story from satirist Dave Rhodes. Although a lot of Dave’s writing is fictional, he’s started to post true stories from his various odd jobs, including taxi driver, sailor, and TV extra. For the latter, he was lucky enough to work on the last episode ever shot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. More »
Now is the time for some moviemaking magic: Marvel Studios has until August 15 to turn a stretch of downtown Ohio into Times Square. Yes, the one from New York City. Movieline reports that shooting of Joss Whedon‘s The Avengers begins then, presumably involving scenes where the superheroes meet at one of the S.H.I.E.L.D. offices in Manhattan. We’re guessing that shooting in NYC cost way too much, and Cleveland was a better choice for indoor scenes. It’s just ironic, since Captain America: The First Avenger managed to shoot in the real Times Square. More »
It’s only a matter of time before the Internet holds non-Photoshopped images of Henry Cavill wearing the Man of Steel’s suit. But until then, we’re very excited to see Cavill on-set looking quite the part as shy, unassuming reporter Clark Kent. (Even this isn’t him fully “suited up”: The Clark Kent we’re used to wears a jacket, hat, and of course, glasses.) More »
Before The Hunger Games, the state of North Carolina mostly dealt in overblown teen dramas: One Tree Hill shoots almost exclusively there, hiring college students (like Lilit’s sister!) to play extras as well as patronizing local businesses. One of those establishments? Pure Gold, a gentlemen’s club that has featured heavily in the show’s history. Every few seasons, there’s a plotline where the gang heads to the strip club, either to check out the entertainment or because they’re forced to take the stage themselves. Let’s review all of the underage, unclothed goodness. More »
It looks like Lionsgate is finally allowing set photos from The Hunger Games to be released to the public — or the studio is realizing that with social media and Twitter-ready fans camped out in North Carolina, there’s no use fighting this free publicity. Starcasm has a whole bunch of photos from the set, including Jennifer Lawrence in Katniss’ reaping dress and buildings dressed up to look like District 12.
But our favorite by far is Hunger Games author Suzanne Collins making her official cameo as a citizen of the Capitol. More »
Shia LaBeouf, what are you thinking? In an interview with Details, he acknowledged that he and Transformers co-star Megan Fox hooked up, and even justified it despite her committed relationship with now-husband Brian Austin Green. It makes for great press and makes my job easier — but Shia, what are you thinking? More »

Here is a video a fan of Gossip Girl took last week in New York during the filming of the 1920s party scenes:
You can see Hilary at just after 1 minutes into the video. She’s not wearing her gloves yet in the scene, but otherwise has the full outfit on.
Speaking of Gossip Girl, E! has an exclusive first-look image of Hilary Duff’s appearance as Olivia Burke in October 5th’s episode, “Dan de Fleurette.”… More »
It looks like the 1920s theme party was an elaborate scene to film! Hilary Duff was back in her flapper dress and hair for a second day of filming Gossip Girl yesterday at the Empire Hotel in New York. This time, we see her start off her day in cutoff jean shorts:
And check out the second-to-last image of Hilary talking on her phone while in her flapper dress – stunning!!

Here are some more photos of Hilary Duff dressed as a flapper for an upcoming episode of Gossip Girl where she plays the character of Olivia Burke in six episodes. In this episode, Olivia and her NYU friends all dress up 1920s style for a theme party, possibly for Halloween.
Check out here for more of the Gossip Girl cast dressed for the theme.
And finally we have one last photo of Hilary back in her own clothes and looking great… More »
Hilary Duff returned to filming Gossip Girl yesterday in Chelsea, New York. She was dressed up in 1920s flapper style, first getting her hair styled, then later changing into a flapper dress. The style looks amazing on her, don’t you think?
By my rough estimate, this may be the 3rd episode that Hilary Duff has filmed for Gossip Girl, out of the 6 scheduled. I look forward to hearing more about how this scene fits in!!

On the set of Gossip Girl this morning, after Hilary dropped Lola off in her trailer, Hilary was seen heading to the food van for breakfast or a snack.
There are also *new spoilers* out about Olivia Burke. Apparently Olivia’s ex-boyfriend will make an appearance, wanting to get back together. Wonder what Dan will think of this??

Aw!! We saw that Hilary Duff flew into New York with two of her dogs, Lola and Coco, and now it looks like they’re keeping Hilary company on set. This morning, a very sleepy-looking Hilary was seen carrying a very excited Lola to her trailer at the set of Gossip Girl.
How cute are they?!

Although Hilary Duff arrived yesterday to the Gossip Girl set wearing a casual outfit, it looks like her scenes near Gramercy Park were anything but casual! I’m guessing this is a scene where Hilary Duff’s character, Olivia Burke, is doing something as an actress.
It looks to me like this is another bandage dress from Hervé Léger, which to me is a nicer one than the green dress Hilary wore to host the Hervé Léger party earlier this year…. More »
In addition to the photos already posted yesterday, I have more photos of Hilary Duff’s morning on the New York set of Gossip Girl, where she’s filming a six-episode guest arc as Olivia Burke. The early morning scenes were filmed near Gramercy Park, though later in the day we see Hilary much more dressed up (photos to come!).
In the last picture, you can see Hilary is carrying what looks to be her script. She looks lovely though, doesn’t she? Almost… More »
This morning, Hilary Duff was photographed returning to the New York set of Gossip Girl, where she’s filming a six-episode guest arc as Olivia Burke, an actress who is seeking some ‘real’ life experiences at NYU.
Hilary Duff’s first appearance on Gossip Girl will be in the fourth episode of the season, which will air on October 5th, 2009. BTW, when Hilary first appeared on set, she was reading Jodi Picoult’s The Pact LP: A Love Story. It looks like she… More »
Hilary Duff was spotted back on the set of Gossip Girl in New York yesterday to re-shoot some scenes from her first day. This first day shows Hilary’s character Olivia Burke meeting Penn Badgely’s character Dan. At this point, Dan doesn’t know that Olivia is an actress, just that she’s a student at NYU.
According to the latest fan club email, Hilary Duff will be visiting Bogota, as previously mentioned, “within the next few days.”

Here is a candid video taken on Friday, showing Hilary Duff and Tyra Banks filming the fake premiere of their fictional movie Fleur on Gossip Girl.
As previously mentioned, Tyra Banks joins Hilary Duff for a single episode of Gossip Girl, playing another actress. Hilary Duff will be on Gossip Girl for several episodes this season. … More »
Hilary Duff was spotted filming the movie premiere scene of Gossip Girl alongside Tyra Banks at the Ziegfeld Theatre in New York. Hilary Duff’s character is actress Olivia Burke and Tyra Banks plays actress Ursula Nyquist. In this scene, they’re attending a movie premiere for a film they presumably co-starred in called Fleur.
From what it looks like, Olivia is playing to the fans, waving and signing autographs on the red carpet. Tyra’s character just looks on, not partaking of… More »
Hilary Duff was spotted either arriving to, or leaving from, the Gossip Girl set yesterday. I think she looks great with the simple scarf really popping her outfit.
Meanwhile, there is some gossip that Hilary Duff has been ignoring the fans lining up to see her filming on location:
“Duff shunned the fans who screamed their greetings and well wishes… Hilary strode with a large bodyguard from her trailer to the set, refusing to look up, make eye contact or smile.”
