Jennifer Lopez shot some scenes at Smith’s Olde Bar last night.

If you were driving in that area (or trying to) you probably didn’t make really great time.

“I had no idea it was there and it took me 30 minutes to drive a mile tonight,” one of our Facebook friends, Katerina Lewis, posted on our wall last night.

Yikes!

Well, here are some photos showing what was going on. These are from celeb photographer Andrew Snook, who braved the long and muggy night to capture these frames.

If you’d like to see more of his work visit his web site. He is awesome!

J-Lo also has been filming downtown, at the Hilton on Baker Street, and Ventanas, a special events facility.

A tipster said she was spotted at Legal Sea Foods, which is right in that area, near Centennial Olympic Park. We’ll have to check with our friends at the Georgia Aquarium to see if she’s able to work in a side trip to visit the dolphins or belugas. The Aquarium often hooks up visiting celebrities with their finned residents.

The movie also filmed in Midtown, near the High Museum of Art, on Tuesday.

“What to Expect” is billed as an ensemble comedy, sort of like “Love Actually,” where five different couples are about to become parents for the first time. It stars a slew of other big names including Cameron Diaz, Chris Rock, Anna Kendrick and Chace Crawford.

We’ll be on the lookout for future filming sites. Hopefully we can help you avoid getting caught in a traffic tie up.

Get some food next door at Cowtippers. The food is great and the prices are fair. Also, the wait staff is pretty cool. They all have great senses of humor.

i would just like to say that i work on this film and would like you all to know that jennifer lopez is a very beautiful and genuine person. it saddens me to hear all you people make these terrible comments about someone you don’t even know.also about all the negative comments about traffic tie-ups,this is a minor inconvenience compared to the numerous wrecks that happen in this city everyday.at least the police are working with the film crews and making these delays as minimal as possible.thank you to the atlanta police dept. for all you do.thank you to the production companies for allowing us here in atlanta to be able to have good paying jobs and and able to support our families and the local economy.

JLo was “scene” instead of seen? Come on, copywriters! And proofreaders, shame. Or does AJC even employ proofreaders these days?

I had a great 10 minutes talking to Robert Duvall Thursday afternoon south of Atlanta. He is here filming a movie called Jayne Mansfields Car. Bill Bob Thornton is directing. And to answer a question from above. How to be an Extra in a movie.??? Look up Extra Casting Atlanta on facebook. Click LIKE and simply follow their daily announcements. Theyre are other casting companies here too. All movies pay about the same Minimum Wage but more fun than flipping burgers for at least a few days. Gotta go. Have burgers to flip. We all wish we had J Lo s bank account. true?
