Kate Hudson (my all-time fave) and Jessica Alba (eh…) are currently shooting a movie, partying, and getting into a little trouble in my hometown: Oklahoma City.

One of my friends claims to have met the two at the Riverwind Casino last Thursday night. Said Hudson kept to herself and her poker game and Alba was extremely talkative, the “life of the party.” Alba has recently come under fire for “vandalism.” The actress allegedly posted signs all over the downtown area (over bridges and United Way ads) advocating the protection of Great White sharks. Hmmm…maybe one two many drinks at the Riverwind got her environmental conscience going… Come on, Alba; you’re in Oklahoma for crying out loud…wrong venue.

The movie, “The Killer Inside Me,” is based on a 1952 crime thriller by Oklahoman author, Jim Thompson. The novel is a “psychological thriller” about a small town deputy sheriff named Lou Ford.

Supposedly, Alba is playing a hooker and Hudson will play the schoolteacher girlfriend of the sheriff. 

The cast will be filming in Guthrie, OKC, and Tulsa over the next six weeks.

As for me, I will be picking up a copy of Thompson’s novel so that I will be ready and well-read by the time the movie comes out.
