Hollywood South Booming in Bossier Thanks to Mock White House Film Set [PICS]

Robert and Erin — Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:45:32 +0000

My attempts to break into the movie biz continue. Most recently, my on-air push to play the (yet uncast) President of The United in "White House Taken" starring Gerard Butler.

Though I'm not holding my breath waiting for the phone to ring, I am (at least thrice weekly) driving by the Teague Parkway in Bossier where a crew is building a White House replica for filming starting next month. In this action flick to be released in mid 2013, this Bossier White House is scheduled to be blown up! If I land the part, remind me to request a body double.

Check out the shots Tracy Turner of KISS Country snapped of the under construction set.

Amy Sciarretto — Tue, 29 Nov 2011 17:19:43 +0000

Lady Gaga and Katy Perry reportedly had their scenes in ‘The Muppets’ cut. Combining Gaga and Perry with alpha female Muppet Miss Piggy would have been too much diva for one film. The multiplex would have spontaneously combusted, so maybe slashing their supposed scenes was a good idea.
