<p>just wondering.....are there any celebrities who attend ucla? i heard that some movies that need a campus film on ucla. do u know any ucla students who do commercials or movies?</p>
<p>Michelle Kwon</p>
<p>There are a lot of things shot on UCLA's campus, but that doesn't mean celebrities are students here.</p>
<p>I heard that one of the Olsen twins was having a hard time making friends at NYU, so she is most likely going to attend UCLA or USC next fall.</p>
<p>someone else told me that too. i saw one of them (the one who wasnt injured) at BJ's in westwood in january (i think thats during NYU's winter break). </p>
<p>lindsay lohan was on campus doing a photo shoot during the fall quarter, according to some of my friends in band who saw her. but she doesnt attend ucla. </p>
<p>my roommate is a theatre major. he has a class with a guy who used to be on the show "full house" .. the guy came on a later season, i dont remember his name</p>
<p>my roommate also saw tom hanks in the bathroom during some theatre event LOL</p>
<p>a friend of mine who doesnt go to ucla considers tasha swikert (sp?) a celebrity (olympian gymnast)</p>
<p>ill update if i think of more related thoughts</p>
<p>they filmed legally blonde there...the harvard scene</p>
<p>A scene from Old School was also filmed at UCLA in front of Royce Hall. (The egg drop?)</p>
<p>I believe Michelle Kwan attended in 2000-something, not currently, if I read in a paper correctly.</p>
<p>I thought the Old School scene was the brick drop with the fat black guy. I wouldn't eat in that area if I were you. There are suprisingly few movies shot on UCLA, but CSI and Alias have been there. Berkeley has higher quality movies - The Graduate (some of it was in UCLA), Patch Adams, and the irresistable Junior.</p>
<p>they were filming a movie during spring break when I visited the first time. Something like "silent warrior." Some sappy feel good movie about a UCB men's gymnastics team.</p>
<p>You're probably right, aim78 -- after all, I haven't seen the whole of Old School. XD That tidbit was something my guide told our group at a campus tour.</p>
<p>Ooh, and the Festival of Books is coming up next weekend. Authors may not be movie stars, but some are famous! </p>

<p>Yeah I saw that "Silent Warrior" thing too (since I didn't even leave campus for break haha)</p>
<p>They filmed the brick-dropping scene in Old School using the balcony in Kerckhoff that overlooks Moore Patio, and used CG to simulate a sewer manhole underneath it.</p>
<p>oh i think they were filming some other movie in front of royce hall earlier in the winter quarter. forgot what the name was though.</p>
<p>Sweet! The LA Times Festival of Books during Spring Quarter this year? I'm there!</p>
<p>Erin Brockavich was filmed on UCLA's campus--the scene where Erin is consulting with a guy and heading toward the library. It was filmed in front of Powell and across from Royce. You'll also see Royce in the background of a lot of commercials, and yes CSI had the Men's Gymnasium, I think, in the background.</p>
<p>got an "advertising supplement" from the l.a. times on sunday about the festival of books (april 23-24). there are just way too many names to type. try <a href="http://www.latimes.com/events%5B/url%5D">www.latimes.com/events</a> if you want a list of people and other info.</p>
<p>i might just go and check it out. there's some people i'd love to meet at least once in my life like Aaron McGruder, June Foray, Kevin Smith, and Eric Idle. not to mention some local public radio personalities. :)</p>
<p>Britney Spear will be attending UCLA as a member of the Class of 2009.</p>
<p>Ah, never mind. </p>
<p>Her acceptance letter just got rebuked. </p>
<p>Apparently, she gained some weight.</p>
<p>haha, I heard she was enrolling at pepperdine. but this was pre-pregnancy...</p>
