Local spotlight
Yes that was WBZ’s culture queen Joyce Kulhawik at the Revolving Museum Wednesday afternoon. The Channel 4 arts reporter was in town taping a segment on ways to entertain kids during school vacation week. The Shattuck Street museum’s exhibit “Toys and Games: More Than Amusement,” was a buzz with tikes making origami birds.
Another local luminary, Wendy Lepore, made prime time Wednesday. Her Westford shop, the Finer Consigner, was featured on Chronicle as part of a piece on ways to stay fabulously frugal.

Knock-out night
All the action was outside the ring Wednesday evening during the championship finals of the New England Golden Gloves at the Lowell Memorial Auditorium. Boxing legend Micky Ward rubbed elbows with Craig Gates general manager of the Tsongas Arena, State representative Kevin Murphy, former state senator Phil Shea, and Cobblestones owner Scott Plath.
Ward began his boxing career in the Lowell tournament and eventually won the “fight of the century” against Aturro Gatti. His rise from the streets of the Mill City to an Atlantic City ring will be captured on the big screen in “The Fighter.” Boston boy, Mark Wahlberg will play Ward and Brad Pitt is rumored to portray his brother Dicky Eklund. Shooting could begin this fall and bring the acclaimed actors to Lowell.

East coast glamour
In other Hollywood news, Newbury Street in Boston may just become the new Sunset Strip. Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner are in town to shoot the romantic comedy “Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.” The cast includes Lacey Chabert, Emma Stone, Christa Allen, and Breckin Meyer.
The celeb radar will be off the charts in a couple of weeks when director Martin Scorsese starts production in Boston on his new film “Ashecliffe” an adaptation of Dennis Lehane’s novel “Shutter Island.” Leonardo DiCaprio, Michelle Williams, Ben Kingsley, Mark Ruffalo, and Patricia Clarkson all have roles in the movie.
Get your cameras ready and watch out for those pesky paparazzi.
