on the set of All Good Things...again!

My friend and I visited the set of All Good Things again on 38th and 8th in Manhattan yesterday and got to see the set as well as Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst filming a scene in a taxi. The movie is set in the 1980's and there were a lot of old fashioned cars. There were also pimps and prostitutes but they've been around forever. Ryan is so sweet and took pictures with everyone that asked (gave high-fives to people, too) even when a paparazzo was all up in his face. When I asked Kirsten for a picture, she gave me a sad face and said, "Not right now, sorry." & I don't blame her either because once the paparazzo saw her come out her trailer he literally ran to her so he could get his shots. He basically ruined it for us because after she said no I didn't want to bother her anymore...No picture with Kirsten, but we left with good memories!

visiting TRL [day 2] // on the set of Veronika Decides to Die

So today, June 17th, my friends and I went to TRL again...it was crazy! So many stars were there...that means there were a lot of paparazzi and even more fans. My friends and I got to go to the actual taping today with Taylor Swift as a co-host and Anne Hathaway, Steve Carell, and Brittany Snow as guests. Before the show, however, we got to see Delta Goodrem, Meagan Good, Verne Troyer, Romany Malco, and Rihanna.

Here's a little recap:
  • Anne Hathaway likes to read Google news and Perez Hilton's blog
  • Taylor Swift loved singing and dancing to the song 'No Air'
  • TRL isn't what it seems...really (everything is planned beforehand)

Here are some pictures from the set of Veronika Decides to Die. Meeting Sarah Michelle Gellar wasn't really what I expected...we were happy she agreed to take the picture with us but it was really awkward.

visiting TRL

So today, June 16th, my friends & I tried to get into TRL but there weren't enough wristbands left so sadly we got turned away. While we were there however, we got to take pictures with V.I.C. (he sings that song Get Silly), Michelle Williams of Destiny's Child, and Taylor Swift. I must add that while all of the people we met today were hella awesome & so sweet, Taylor was by far the sweetest. We were waiting for her for more than 3 hours & as soon as she came out she acknowledged us and asked us if we wanted to take pictures. It was pretty amazing.

Uma Thurman

So after work today, my friends and I visited the set of Motherhood again. They were shooting a scene on the roof of a building and we waited 'til they were done. We missed Uma the first time but when she was walking to the set again to do her talking & walking shots, we were able to talk to her. Uma is beautiful in person & really sweet. I'm glad I got to meet her.

2 movies, 1 day, 0 actors

So today when I got out of work (yes, I work now) sources told me that Motherhood was filming on Hudson and Christopher in Manhattan. On my way over to check it out, I came across the set for Veronika Decides to Die. Nothing was actually set up yet but the trailers and equipment trucks were there. The crew wasn't allowed to give me any information which I thought was a little weird. All I know is that Sarah Michelle Gellar is in it, and I found that out myself. After that discouraging attempt at getting any info, I found the Motherhood set. I spoke to a crew member and he said they were doing driving shots today and that Thursday is the last day of filming. It should take place between today and then around the same area. If I could've, I would've stuck around longer at both sets but it was extremely hot, I was so tired, and I had to jet home to get ready for a poetry showcase. Hopefully tomorrow I will see some actors in action :)

Robert De Niro on set

on the set of Everybody's Fine

Today, June 5th, my friend and I visited the set of Everybody's Fine on the lower east side of Manhattan. We got to see Robert De Niro and a woman acting in a scene where they walked up and down stairs to an apartment. The first time we tried to get a picture with Robert, he was walking out of his trailer and talking on his cell but he told us to wait for him because he'd take a picture with us when he returned. When he got out of the car to go back to his trailer about 30 minutes later, he remembered we were waiting for him and took the picture with us. Below are some pictures. I will post a short video I took later...for some reason it isn't uploading right now.
