Ben Stiller was spotted outside the Ed Sullivan studios yesterday. I’m not so sure what is up with his hair. I sure like it better short but with it like this his eyes are really bright. Who knows…there might be a sexy guy under there somewhere.

Since Ben was promoting his new movie Night at the Museum 2 I thought maybe I would find something neat about the movie. I pulled through I thought…They really filmed part of the movie at the Smithsonian Institute and the director of Night at the Museum 2 , Shawn Levy, explained just how strict they were about it.

For starters, you promise that you won’t break anything. I think it helped immensely that our first movie was well-known enough that people could recommend to the Smithsonian that we were going to treat their institution respectfully, with humor and wit and reverence as well. Also, the first movie actually increased attendance at the New York Museum of Natural History, I’m told, close to 20 percent after Night at the Museum. The Smithsonian knew that the first movie had actually affected museum attendance, so anything that can actually catalyze interest in these institutions is a good thing.

Ben went on to say that they filmed as much as they could get away with there with disrupting things. I think that is very cool that they actually got to film part of that movie there. I will be excited to see this one. It hits theaters May 22.
