Excerpt:
Unlike jaded denizens of Los Angeles and New York, Detroiters are enjoying celebrity sightings. Last month, Ashton Kutcher and wife Demi Moore, in town to shoot her new movie “LOL,” attended a Tigers game. Around the same time, Ms. Moore and actor Gerard Butler, who was in town shooting “Machine Gun Preacher,” were spotted at a local bowling alley. Hugh Jackman stopped by the polar bear exhibit at the Detroit Zoo. “That all helps reshape our image and show people we’re turning the corner,” says Carrie Jones, director of the Michigan Film Office.
