September 2, 201311 yr apparantly her cult is still stalking her: Katie Holmes security team worried about Scientologists: report Last Updated: 9:25 PM, August 28, 2013 Katie Holmes security guards are concerned that Scientologists are spying on her and her daughter Suri a year after her divorce from Tom Cruise. The actress’s bodyguards have been quizzing paparazzi to ensure they aren’t members of the controversial church she belonged to during her six year marriage to the “Oblivion” star, reports the Daily Mail. According to the paper, a member of Holmes’ six-member security team approached photographers on the Cleveland set of the actress’s latest film, “Miss Meadows,” and asked if they had any connection to the church. Once it was determined they did not, tensions eased and they were also asked to “keep our eyes open for anything suspicious and to report it,” one of the shutterbugs said. Last year TMZ reported that mother and daughter were being followed by mysterious vehicles shortly after the split. Holmes’ spokesperson denied the photographer's story. http://m.nypost.com/p/pagesix/katie_holmes_security_team_afraid_SRvv5AyuemGehPcuJspGhP

September 3, 201311 yr Watched the 2010 Bruce Willis flick Red with the fiancee the other night (I have seen it several times - she has not), and notice for the first time the beginning scenes are all CLE related. Mostly noticeable through the winter street scene where the neighborhood has their garbage and recycle cans out the evening before garbage day like a good neighborhood should do ;)

September 4, 201311 yr Valerie Bertinelli was on the Today Show this morning promoting Hot in Cleveland. When asked if she has any last minute summer vacation plans, she replied: "I going to Cleveland tomorrow to be in the town for the football game." I presume she means the Browns on Sunday, but still fun to hear her give an unwarranted plug for the city.

November 8, 201311 yr "Ghostbusters 3" to Begin Filming in Cleveland in 2014 The next installment in the classic "Ghostbusters" franchise is scheduled to begin filming right here in Cleveland this spring. The Huffington Post reports that high caliber celebrities are being sought after for roles in "Ghostbusters 3." Hollywood darling Emma Stone and comedy king Jonah Hill are rumored to be top choices for roles. http://www.clevescene.com/scene-and-heard/archives/2013/11/08/ghostbusters-3-to-begin-filming-in-cleveland-in-2014
November 8, 201311 yr Nice! Funny thing is that Hollywood filmmakers started out in Chicago but the weather and their need to film year-round caused them to relocate to Hollywood. Now it seems they're moving back to the Midwest, but to the lower-cost version of Chicago. No doubt global warming has them coming back to the Midwest.... :-P "In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage." -- John Steinbeck

November 8, 201311 yr ^Agreed. It it is a one of those cheesy re-makes with stars from the teeny-bop generation (a la 21 Jump Street), then don't try and fool us with calling it "Ghostbusters 3". It's not like Murray, Akroyd, Hudson, Moranis, and whoever that guy is who played Egor are terribly busy at the moment.

November 8, 201311 yr ^^^Egon, man, it's Egon! And 'that guy' is Harold Ramis, and he wrote, among other things, Animal House, Meatballs and Caddyshack. He was also in Stripes. He's very much available. Also, very fat and looks like a cross between wolfman jack and Santa. I'll confess to enjoying 21 Jump Street, but that's only because the original was filmed with our version of the teeny bop generation. Are we still capped state wide on credits we offer? It's June to June, yes? I would have thought Cap America would have used up most of the benefits we could offer, but what do I know. Edit: I see KJP beat me to it.

November 11, 201311 yr Cleveland casino highlights Hollywood connection Monday November 11, 2013 11:00 AM CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland's casino will mark the 30th anniversary of the Hollywood movie "A Christmas Story," parts of which were filmed in the department store now housing the casino. The Horseshoe Casino Cleveland — which opened last year in the old Higbee building downtown — says the movie will be highlighted throughout the casino during the holiday season. The Higbee building and its holiday-decorated windows had a starring role in the 1983 film. This year, the casino will recreate the nostalgic animatronic holiday scenes that adorned the store's street-level windows back in the day.
