Ashton Kutcher Katherine Heigl are now filming Five Killers in St Barts.

Jon Voight drew a packed house for his appearance at the Florida Film Festival. He was there for a screening of the film that launched his career, Midnight Cowboy.

The next Miley Cyrus movie, The Last Song, may be filmed in North Carolina. The screenplay was written specifically for her by North Carolina author Nicholas Sparks who also wrote A Walk to Remember and Nights in Rodanthe.

There will a casting call Thursday in Scranton, PA for the upcoming independent film, Blue Valentine, starring Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling. The movie will be shot in Northeastern PA this summer.

Nightmare on Elm Street 2.0 begins filming (with Watchmen’s Jackie Earle Haley as Freddy Kruger) in Chicago on April 16th.

The new Forks High location has been discovered in Vancouver but everyone is hiding the exact location for the sake of the school’s real students (which is totally cheesy since people will find out anyway). Rumor has it you can find it on the New Moon message board on IMDb.

With Rosie O’Donnell making the rounds for America and RiRi and Chris Brown holed up at Diddy’s, we’ve heard alot about Star Island this week. Rosie famously owns a house on the island that she bought after her talk show took off and Diddy has one of Florida’s most fabulous homes also located on the island.

Star Island is actually a manmade island in Biscayne Bay and is considered part of Miami. There are only 35 (very exclusive) homes on the island which is connected to the rest of the city by a bridge road. Past and current residents include Gloria Estefan, Shaquille O’Neal, Lenny Kravitz and of course Rosie and Diddy. To see a map of the celebs home, check out this map.
