the ides of march

Ryan Gosling was back on the Bloomfield Hills, MI, set of The Ides of March yesterday afternoon with his costar Philip Seymour Hoffman. The duo walked around the lawn of the Christ Church Cranbrook while their director, George Clooney, amused himself with a glow-in-the-dark ball. The cast has been working on the film for nearly a month, and last Friday were spotted shooting in Ann Arbor with Evan Rachel Wood. She missed out on the most recent fun as she had to go to NYC for last night's premiere of HBO's Mildred Pierce — and Evan revealed on the red carpet that George has blessed her with the nickname of Schnoz!

George Clooney got goofy with a glowing ball during a break from shooting The Ides of March in Bloomfield Hills, MI yesterday. The director and actor unwound by playing around with a buddy and showed off some pretty impressive catches during the impromptu game. The lighthearted fun was a welcome diversion from the intense funeral scene they were working on. George and his costars, Evan Rachel Wood and Ryan Gosling, have been traveling all over the area and winning over fans since they started production on the political thriller. Bloomfield Hills is just the latest stop for the crew, though Evan Rachel Wood had the day off as she jetted back to NYC to premiere Mildred Pierce alongside Kate Winslet last night.

George Clooney was in director mode on the set of The Ides of March in Ann Arbor on Friday. He gave pointers to Ryan Gosling and Evan Rachel Wood, who were getting ready to shoot a scene. Clooney is dividing his time in front of and behind the camera on this project, and he's winning over the local residents with his charm, personality, and, of course, that smile. George kept all his extras entertained while filming a crowd scene last week and gave one lucky local 9-year-old the experience of a lifetime playing his daughter in the movie.

Ryan Gosling kicked off his St. Patrick's Day by shooting The Ides of March alongside his director and costar George Clooney in Detroit, but the guys were able to wrap things up on set by the evening in order to start their holiday festivities. Even Ryan's constant companion, his dog, got in the spirit with a green shirt — how well do you know your celebrities wearing that color? Ryan and a few friends stopped at a Whole Foods to pick up ingredients for dinner back at their hotel. It was a low-key night of fun for Ryan, who's been known to enjoy local amusements while working in new places. He'll likely be able to see more of his temporary city, as production is expected to continue there into early next month.

George Clooney was at work on The Ides of March today in Ann Arbor, MI. George is pulling double duty on the political thriller, since he's directing as well as starring alongside Ryan Gosling and Evan Rachel Wood. So far, production has already taken the good-looking trio from Cincinnati to Detroit. Despite the jet-setting schedule, Ryan has taken advantage of gaps in shooting to visit some animal friends and spend a night out with Olivia Wilde. George also made time for the lady in his life during a break, sharing dinner with Elisabetta Canalis and his parents in his Kentucky hometown a few weeks ago. His mom and dad are clearly some of his biggest supporters and even visited the set to meet everyone when they were in Ohio.

Ryan Gosling sweetly posed for a photo with a fan yesterday on the Detroit set of The Ides of March. The actor is in Michigan focusing on the project after a stint in Ohio, where he worked alongside director George Clooney and costar Evan Rachel Wood, despite having enough free time to bond with Olivia Wilde at the local aquarium. Ryan has made sure to greet well-wishers during breaks from filming, and he's also been busy taking in the sights with his best canine friend.

George Clooney grabbed a quick snack yesterday on the Detroit set of The Ides of March. He and actors like Ryan Gosling and Paul Giamatti are shooting in Michigan after a stint in Cincinnati, though locals in Ohio are thrilled with all the money the production brought to the area. The film, which is expected to be released in October, also features Evan Rachel Wood. It was another lady, however, who accompanied Ryan Gosling on one of his days off, since he was spotted touring an aquarium with Olivia Wilde. George's own real-life love, Elisabetta Canalis, is steering clear of his workplace after reportedly visiting last month. She's off flaunting her bikini body on a vacation with girlfriends in Cabo amid news that another of George's projects, a fragrance, has been shelved indefinitely.

Ryan Gosling posed for photos and signed autographs for fans yesterday after wrapping up work on The Ides of March in Detroit. He and director George Clooney are in Michigan after a few weeks of shooting in Cincinnati, where Ryan had time off from the set to check out the local zoo with costar Evan Rachel Wood. Ryan was also able to visit a local college and spend time with his rumored lady friend, Olivia Wilde, while in Ohio, though you don't think they necessarily make the best couple.

George Clooney was suited up on the set of The Ides of March in Ohio today. He's shooting at Oxford's Miami University, and while the campus is celebrating Green Beer Day ahead of the traditional St. Patrick's holiday, it looks like George had to skip out on the fun to get to work. He and Ryan Gosling started filming last month, and the duo have apparently become pals during their time in front of the cameras. Ryan seems to have also struck up a friendship with costar Evan Rachel Wood since the duo shared an adorable day together at the Cincinnati zoo. He continued his tourist streak with a trip to an aquarium, though the visit with Olivia Wilde appeared to be more than just friendly.

Ryan Gosling and George Clooney were back to work on the set of The Ides of March in Ohio today. The handsome duo once again looked to be in high spirits as they shot scenes. When he's not working, Ryan has been enjoying the local sights including the zoo, where he and costar Evan Rachel Wood got up close and personal with some adorable animals, and the local aquarium, where he was spotted out on a date with Olivia Wilde. Most of you are torn on whether you think they would make a good couple, but regardless, they gave some Cincinnati residents a great celebrity sighting.
