Magnum Mania!

Just found this. Hope you fans around Atlanta get to see him!!

Actor Tom Selleck (who will forever be remembered as Hawaiian shirt-clad detective “Magnum P.I.”) dining at Chops in Buckhead with a guest. We’re told they each noshed on the restaurant’s signature steaks and the dashing, vertically blessed actor “set the dining room a-twitter, even though he was low key,” a witness at Chops dished. Sous chef Lisa Allen even created a special dessert for Selleck (strawberries and cream) solely so she had a reason to visit the table. We hear the gracious actor shook hands with and thanked his servers by name. He mentioned that he’d definitely be back when he’s in town.

Selleck is here filming the upcoming Lionsgate comedy-drama “Five Killers,” with Katherine Heigl, Ashton Kutcher, Catherine O’Hara and Martin Mull. Selleck and O’Hara are playing the parents of Heigl’s character, who’s married to a former hitman (played by Kutcher) who is retired to suburbia. Interestingly, Heigl’s real-life father, Paul Heigl, resides in the metro area. The “Grey’s Anatomy” actress is married to musician Josh Kelley, a former Augusta resident, who started out gigging in clubs like Eddie’s Attic in Decatur and Smith’s Olde Bar in Midtown.

There you go Golf..........He is in ATL. Time for you and Larry to try for those extras parts again and perhaps hit a few hot Restaurants at night.

Golf, now is the time for you to be a private investigator and track TS down.

Thanks, all. layne pointed this out to me yesterday too. However, Buckhead is about 6-7 north of downtown Atlanta, where I work, and I live 25 miles south of downtown. In addition, as you can probably guess, Chops is one of the "top of the line" restaurants in town, and the only way I'd ever buy a dinner there is with a gift certificate. In addition, based on his eating dinner there, he is probably staying at the Ritz Carlton in Buckhead (across the street from Lenox Square and Phipps Plaza -- Google Earth 'em). There is a Ritz Carlton downtown, but none of the celebrities who come to town ever stay there. Oddly enough, for example, even when the Today Show was here in 1996 broadcasting FROM downtown for the Olympics, the anchors all still stayed at the Ritz in Buckhead. Now if he were staying at the Ritz downtown, I could hang around there and hope for a glimpse!!

So now I just wait for the "extra casting" call. If it comes, THIS time I'll take off work with or without Larry! Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Good luck Golf - everything is crossed for you - I think you should take a day off and go hang around his hotel.
