Television / Movies / News ATLwood: They may not be Tebowing, but some celebs love Church
Posted by Allison Keene @keeneTV on Fri, Dec 16, 2011 at 9:37 AM
- Werewolves versus Park Atlanta! An epic battle for the ages, fought on the streets of Atlanta!
— Ok, maybe not exactly like Tebow ... The stars have alighted at several local eateries (such as Tin Roof Cantina off of North Druid Hills Rd as well as Cafe Sunflower in Midtown), but there place to play has most assuredly been Sister Louisa's Church of the Living Room and Ping Pong Emporium. Will Forte (SNL), Jonah Hill, Marisa Tomei and Vince Vaughn have all been recent patrons. The bar is being featured in a TBS show "Trends with Benefits," and it appears the name should be elongated further to include "Celebrity Sanctuary."
— ATLwood friend Nicole spotted Nathan Lane at Williams Sonoma this past weekend at Phipps (he's in Roswell around Holcomb Bridge Road filming the new comedy pilot "On We Go,"). He also made an appearance at Canoe.
— Some Real Housewives News: I had heard a rumor that one of the housewives was going to featured on the FOX show "Glee" in 2012, and it was just exclusively confirmed by our friend Tamara Tattles that it is not only true, but that Nene Leakes is the guest star. Don't you just bet Kim is fuming?
— More news from Tamara: John Mellencamp and Meg Ryan have been at the Four Seasons, working with the Alliance Theater on the production of the Stephen King-penned musical "Ghost Brothers," which will premiere in town next year.
— I'm quoting Jennifer Brett of the AJCBuzz exactly for this: "I hear tell that Flight with Denzel Washington is filming at Gwinnett Detention Center today. If hotness was a crime he'd be serving 20!" She said it all!
— "Teen Wolf" has been filming all over town, including around Fairlie, Nelson and Walton Street. Saavy Tweeter @kelseyagnew says, "Teen Wolf is filming outside of our office, and I'm surprised there aren't 12 Park Atlanta tickets on this guy" (She's right, Park Atlanta don't play!)
— If you haven't been able to spot any of the film locations in town yourself, here's a voyeuristic video shot this summer of the Three Stooges set. Did anyone else feel a little like a Peeping Tom watching this?
— Sadly the Georgia couple Marcus and Amani Pollard did not win the finale of "The Amazing Race," even though the finale took place in Atlanta (!) Though the Pollards lost out on the grand prize, they did gain a lot of praise for their marriage, keeping cool and staying loving towards each other even in the tensest of moments (a rarity on reality television, for sure!)
— No answer yet for reader @niwana_ray who asked me Wednesday, "do you know what's filming in O4W today on N. Highland? Signs said "POGO" and there were old cars on a trailer." I haven't been able to figure it out - any guesses?
Have any tips? Sightings? Encounters? Filming news? Drop me a line: ATLwood@cln.com or send me a tweet @FlossyAlli on Twitter (don't forget to use the hashtag #ATLwood)!

"John Mellencamp and Meg Ryan have been at the Four Seasons, working with the Alliance Theater on the production of the Stephen King-penned musical "Ghost Brothers," which will premiere in town next year."
This sentence is so weird. And arousing.
