This week the Cannes Film Festival continues in the south of France, making it the best place in the world for Celebrity Sightings right now.
And, the best place to see celebrities during Cannes is always the Palais des Festivals, where most of the festival’s big movie premieres are held. Before each premiere the stars walk the famous red carpet out front as photographers and fan (sometimes hundreds or thousands) try to catch a glimpse from the sidelines.
So far this year, Diane Kruger, Shia LaBeouf, Jada Pinkett Smith, and Jane Fonda, have been among those to walk the red carpet. And, this week, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, and Zac Efron are expected to be there too.

Yesterday James Franco posted a semi-revealing article in The Huffington Post about what he’s been doing and where he’s been staying while filming The End Of The World in New Orleans.
In the article Franco describes where he is staying, writing, “[I] found a small apartment complex with an enclosed courtyard off Charters Street for my posse and me.”
He also describes the Ghost Tour he took with his hair woman Nana and his production consultant Iris.
“We had stupidly missed Jazz Fest the previous weekend and haven’t yet been to Frenchmen Street to hear any music, so the ghost tour was a way to engage with New Orleans, if only in a silly, touristy way.”, he explains.

If you saw Sunday night’s episode of Mad Men, you know much of the show’s plot revolved around an upstate New York Howard Johnson’s where Don brings Megan to relax, but instead they argue and she takes off.
The iconic orange-roofed lodge featured in the show wasn’t actually in New York at all, it was filmed at a now vacant restaurant (which really was a HoJo’s back in the day) attached to the Regency Inn and Suites on Dalewood Avenue in Baldwin Park, an L.A. suburb in California’s San Gabriel Valley.

Since I wasn’t able to make it to the Tribeca Film Festival this year I’ve been taking advantage of the fest’s On Demand movies which are official selections available throughout the festival’s run – April 18–29.
Last night I checked out The Giant Mechanical Man for $5.99 via Amazon, a steal when you consider rush tickets to most of the fest’s screenings in NYC start at $8.

A Catskills condominium complex, which was once Brown’s Hotel, was nearly completely destroyed in a fire earlier this week.
Seven of the nine buildings on the property were consumed by fire. Lucky no one was injured in the blaze, but many were left homeless.
Brown’s Hotel was the inspiration for the affluent resort Kellerman’s in Dirty Dancing. The movie’s screenwriter, Eleanor Bergstein, based the movie on her summers competing in dance competitions at Brown’s.

If you’re one of the few people, like me, who have been following ABC’s new series GCB, you know the fictional Hillside Park Church plays an integral role in the series.
The church isn’t just the ladies’ place of worship – it’s their office, the heart of their social circle, and, often, the one place spurring on their friendly competition.
Though the show is set in Dallas, it was primarily filmed in Los Angeles so the exteriors of the Hillside Park Church are all actually filmed at the All Saints Episcopal Church, located at 132 North Euclid Avenue in Pasadena, CA.
