STARS

Well, if you cross your fingers and camp outside Lafayette St., then maybe you'll be able to see some. And I'm not talking about the ones you have to drive to the mountains to see.

Those who live at, stop by, or are in Chinatown a lot have seen the obnoxious rows of film trailers that line Lafayette Street. According to the website On Location Vacations, the movie responsible for the huge vehicles is "The Other Guys" set to release on August 6, 2010. It is directed by Adam McKay, the man behind Will Ferrell blockbusters like "Anchorman", "Talladega Nights", and "Step Brothers". The stars? Get ready.

Will Ferrell (big surprise)
Samuel L. Jackson (really?)
Eva Mendes (oooo)
Mark Wahlberg (OOOO)
Dwayne Johnson (WHATTTT)

Some NYU students have been lucky enough to see The Rock roaming the streets of Chinatown. Max Stroller, a NYU Junior, twittered, "Just saw The Rock chilling on Lafayette Street." He said, "Yeah, he was just standing a few stores right of Lafayette, and people were coming up to him and talking to him. He seemed pretty chill."

As for me, I saw, not the people's champ, but Bobby Cannavale peeking his head talking to some guy right outside the dorm. For those who aren't fans of Will and Grace, he had a recurring role as Vince D'Angelo, Will's boyfriend, for which he won an Emmy for "Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series". He looked tired and really confused while talking to the man standing outside his trailer.

The trailers have been at Lafayette for about 3 weeks, with a hiatus in the middle that left the streets feeling bare. You can still see students peering around while they walk to the bus or subway station, hoping to catch a glimpse of a celebrity before they head to class. As for me, if I get to see The Rock, I know I can die happy.
