• Actress Anna Kendrick is scheduled to arrive at 10:00 a.m. and discuss her new movie End of Watch.  Anna will also be atteding the End of Watch premiere tonight.

•  Actor and author Tony Danza is scheduled to arrive at 1:30 p.m. to discuss his new book I'd Like to Apologize to Every Teacher I Ever Had: My Year as a Rookie Teacher at Northeast High.  Tony is also doing a book signing tonight in Los Feliz.

The Grove is located at 189 The Grove Drive in Los Angeles and directions can be found here.  If you're planning on attending any or all of these appearances, please call The Grove at (323) 900-8080 to confirm the schedule.  Occasionally, times change or celebrities are rescheduled.  Please read the disclaimer below.


Disclaimer:  I enjoy posting these celebrity appearances at The Grove, however, lately I've seriously considered not posting them any longer.  Extra often tweets or posts these appearances on their website, people show up (sometimes driving hours), only to find out the celebrity was rescheduled or they decided to make it a private interview at the last minute.  This often results in a headache for the fans and I.

Most of the time Extra doesn't update their website to mention the appearances being changed on Twitter.  The rare times Extra has mentioned a schedule change, I haven't been online to make mention of it.  So many times I get online to find messages from disappointed fans showing up at these appearances.

For now, I'll continue posting these appearances.  I'd strongly caution anyone planning on attending and ask that they double check by calling (323) 900-8080 before wasting their time driving over for nothing.
