Filming day 2: More fans turn out to see stars

May 19, 2009 01:12:32 PM

If you could ask the stars one question

May 18, 2009 02:04:59 PM

Here’s a hypothetical to ponder on movie Monday: Say you’re sitting at Mauro’s enjoying a cup of coffee and Adam Sandler pops in to grab a cup to go, or Salma Hayek, or Chris Rock. (What? It could happen.) You manage to get your wits together in time to ask one question. What question would
