Austin Celebrity Roundup: Tommy Lee Jones, Matthew McConaughey, Chet Johnson, Marcia Gay Harden, Robert Rodriguez, Andy Roddick, Zac Efron
Out & About Austin Celebrity Roundup for Nov. 23, 2009 …
As the season ends, Team Rodeo Austin’s Chet Johnson lassoed the 2009 Canadian Finals Rodeo Saddle Bronc Riding Championship. Johnson competed against hundreds of North American riders in the saddle bronc division, earning more than $54,000 in prize money for the season, and clinching the 2009 championship title.Sometime San Saban Tommy Lee Jones is bailing on “The Lincoln Lawyer,” Moviefone reports. He had been signed to direct and feature behind frequent Austin visitor Matthew McConaughey in an adaptation of Michael Connelly’s novel.
Spotted at Guero’s on South Congress: University of Texas graduate and Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden. … Headed to Canyon Lake: Robert Rodriguez’s team, including Adrien Brody and Danny Trejo, making the movie “Predators” where a gorge was cut by the 2001 flood of the Guadalupe River.
Just a reminder of the simultaneous Austin red carpets at 6:30 p.m. Monday. A change in punctuation marred a previous report of these events when it went to print. Sorry about that:
Zac Efron, Richard Linklater and Christian McKay — no Claire Danes at this time — will walk under the Paramount Theatre marquee for Austin Film Society’s premiere of “Me and Orson Welles.”
Elton John, John Legend, Lance Armstrong, Mack Brown, Brooklyn Decker, and, of course, Andy Roddick will do the same at the Hilton Austin for the tennis ace’s charity event.
