News

- The set of Anchorman 2 (BTW! Anchorman 2 is filming here. Although not really until March) has been besieged by wire thieves. This is something we at Creative Loafing have had first hand experience with (at least, at the old office. Class).

- Programming Note: The Clermont Lounge will be featured on the Travel Channel series “The Layover” with known badass Anthony Bourdain this Monday the 14th (you may remember he was here filming in the fall).

- Denzel Washington has been Oscar-nominated for his role in the Georgia-filmed Flight (yes we will take credit for this - come on, this is one of the better movies that’s been made here!)

- Big Boi has released a video tribute to Atlanta, “In the A,” featuring Atlanta natives T.I. & Ludacris.

Sightings

- Mark Wahlberg was in town this week promoting his new movie Broken City (and gave out a great shout-out of support to the Falcons).
