Filming day 2: More fans turn out to see stars

May 19, 2009 01:12:32 PM

Filming was in the front of the church today, so onlookers were not allowed up on the common or Town House lawn. There was a much bigger turnout than yesterday, but fans had to content themselves with views from across Main Street. There were glimpses of the stars to be had as they filmed in

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
