Here's a neat opportunity to showcase Atlanta's international status. The season finale of "Drop Dead Diva," the Lifetime drama-comedy that is filmed in Peachtree City, will feature a scene to be filmed on Thursday with people of all ethnic backgrounds. Casting folks are looking to Atlanta's diversity to help fill some frames. They need folks from all corners of the globe -- Italians, Brazilians, Russians, Africans, Greeks, Asians, you name it -- and of all ages, shapes and sizes. The pay is $100 for a full day. If you're interested send an email to ddd3extras@gmail.com with your name, age, height, weight, clothing sizes, phone number and three non-professional photos. In the subject line, list your size, ethnicity, gender and age. This season of DDD has gone all "Love Boat," featuring a steady stream of guest stars. The names showing up this season include LeAnn Rimes, Paula Abdul, Lance Bass, Clay Aiken, Wendy Williams and Kathy Griffin.
Farrelly brothers frequent Johnny's Hideaway
After wrapping up a long day of filming on Friday, Peter and Bobby Farrelly decided to unwind in style. The filmmakers, who are in town working on "The Three Stooges," returned to a haunt they frequented last year while they were here shooting "Hall Pass:" Johnny's Hideaway. The venerable Buckhead watering hole was featured prominently in "Hall Pass," and after filming there the cast, including Owen Wilson, Jenna Fischer and Christina Applegate, returned just for fun. Will the Farrelly brothers return with cast members, including Jennifer Hudson, Larry David and Jane Lynch, from their current flick? Johnny's is ready when they are.
Seeing red
Today's raft of notable birthdays includes two prominent national GOP figures, former first lady Nancy Reagan and former President George W. Bush. So we asked two prominent local GOP figures -- author and pundit Phil Kent and radio-television personality and RedState.com editor Erick Erickson -- if they had any grand old party plans. "I'm wearing red in Nancy's honor," Kent said. Quipped Erickson: "A séance with the inventor of jelly beans."
