Jonah Hill has been in town and tweeting up a storm about restaurants ("When I'm in Atlanta shooting I feel like I'm in a "Like Crazy" type relationship my favorite sushi restaurant in Los Angeles"), asking questions ("Is there a good healthy juice bar in Atlanta?") and generally enjoying the town ("Shout out to University Of Georgia and Georgia Tech for hosting #AllenGregoryscreenings. I am feeling the love in Atlanta")

— I honestly cannot remember who told me this (Cassie Young?) but apparently the celebs in town are loving Tin Roof Cantina over near the Target Greatland on North Druid Hills. Ben Stiller and Jonah Hill have been spotted there recently, among others. Who would've thought?

— Turns out that the stars raining down on our town have been enjoying all kinds of activities here. According to Jennifer Brett at AJC Buzz, Marisa Tomei was seen treasure hunting at the Scott Antiques Market over the weekend, as well as chowing down (as I've reported in the past) at Souper Jenny. Souper Jenny has also been frequented by Jason Bateman and Jessica Seinfeld. It's like seeing a guy you weren't interested in with a new hot girl: "Wait a minute … what did I miss?"

— Another establishment in town has been home to quite a few of the gliterrati: Kyma. Vince Vaughn (a vegan!) has had meals prepared for him there, and it's been a hot spot for Owen Wilson and Bill Cosby in the past. Apparently they have also asked for recipes for cocktails and menu items. Again, I think I need to find that Kyma Groupon …

Tyler Perry’s The Marriage Counselor was filming this week around Walnut St SW and Fair St. SW, Atlanta, Dunwoody and also around Moore St Se and Decatur St (where they will be set up through the weekend) And as regards the backlash over the casting of Kim K in the film, Perry is speaking out and defending his choice.

— The Billy Crystal film Parental Guidance has set up shop at the First Baptist Church on Peachford Road in Dunwoody, around which they have been filming most of the week.

— Did you get stuck in some worse-than-normal traffic around Peachtree Street yesterday? You can blame the BET Soul Train Awards, which were filming at the FOX. It will air November 27th at 8pm, so be sure you watch and support!

Denzel Washington has been in Flight all over Atlanta, from St. Josephs Hospital to the St. Regis in Buckhead (apparently look for Saintly locations and you're sure to find him! … was he in the Georgia Dome last weekend? Because frankly …)

— What you have all no doubt been waiting for … Real Housewife Kim Zolciak's wedding photo! Oh yeah, it's a hot mess. But wait, there's more! Kim's wedding documentary is going to be called “Don’t Be Tardy for the Wedding." I just … can't.
