The Bwog
Check back for updates about Obamacain's historic visit and the equally historic battle for tickets.
Picnic Crasher
People reports what we've known all along: not even Scarlett Johansson is allowed to oust our picnics. She is welcome to join, however, as long as we get to slather her with sunscreen.




Scarlett Johansson is on Campus
UPDATE 3:12 pm: More pictures after the jump.

This ain't just no two-bit background filming—the production crew of The Nanny Diaries is pulling out the big guns for all us College Walker-stalkers. Johansson can be seen filming a scene with an as-of-yet unidentified male (possibly co-star Chris Evans, of The Fantastic Four fame) near the west fountain on Low Plaza RIGHT NOW.

The whole production area is roped off, and imposing looking members of the film's security team are very rudely keeping onlookers from getting too close to the action. Bwog was yelled at by said men, who even went so far as to scream at us in a threatening voice and call us "dude." Even the campus security that is patrolling the area is not sympathetic to the plight of the camera-wielding student journalist. Before we were pressured into leaving, however, Bwog managed to snap a few money-shots. Anything for our loyal readers.

If the editors of any celebrity-based publication are interested in acquiring said photos (ka-ching!), we kindly ask that you email bwgossip@columbia.edu.

BONUS: Overheard on the set: "She looks pregnant." Bwog refuses to comment.

This Is Why We Have Tunnels
Jacob Weaver writes in to say:
There's a sign posted at the top of the stairs leading from Low Plaza up to Dodge that says anyone who happens to walk by during filming of the Nanny Diaries today is giving informed consent to being a potentially recognizable extra in the movie. It says that if you don't want to be in the movie, you better stay away, and "your presence is your consent." Because, you know, you can easily avoid College Walk and Low Plaza when you're on your way to class.
Of course, some of our more nefarious students might try to use this as an opportunity to make it onto the big screen. For shame.

The Hungarian Invasions
Gautam Hans reports:

hungarian A horde of 20 "Production Scouts" descended upon the Hungarian Pastry Shop today at noon, apparently investigating it for possible use in the upcoming film adaptation of "The Nanny Diaries" starring Scarlett Johansson. No word on a reaction from the embittered grad students on the possible commercialization of their second home, but they can take solace in the fact that if the producers do decide to shoot at Hungarian, the lighting will definitely have to get better.
