15208: Shia LaBeouf Films At National Historic Landmark
Fans of actor
Shia LaBeouf in Riverside, California may have been lucky enough recently to get a bird's eye view of the star, who will soon appear onscreen in the highly anticipated
Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, on his way to the Mission Inn Hotel & Spa to film a scene for his upcoming thriller,
Eagle Eye. Stretching out over a city block, the eclectic edifice, with its series of Spanish-style turrets and towers and Mediterranean-motifed domes will provide a dramatic backdrop for the actor and his co-stars
Rosario Dawson,
Michelle Monaghan and
Billy Bob Thornton when the action-packed flick hits theaters in August 2008,
OK magazine reports.
Built between 1876 and 1931, the Mission Inn & Spa's history is intimately intertwined with several legendary love stories. Although the Southern California sanctuary boasts two on-site chapels, in 1940 former president
Richard Nixon and his bride
Pat Nixon chose to exchange vows in the hotel's Presidential Suite, so named after a visit by Theodore Roosevelt. In 1945, sunlight filtered through the Tiffany stained-glass windows that adorn the St. Francis chapel as
Bette Davis, a goddess of Hollywood's golden era, walked down the aise on her way to marry William Grant Sherry, and in 1952
Ronald and
Nancy Reagan spent the first night together as husband and wife in one of the hotel's suites.
Offered daily, cinema buffs and admirers of architectural masterpieces can take a 75-minute tour of the 239-guest room hotel and its palm-laden grounds.

Fans who faithfully followed the reality TV romance between Lauri Waring and George Peterson on
The Real Housewives of Orange County, seen on the

As song birds serenaded from the tree tops, bridesmaids and the matron of honor-- each a verdant vision in the green dresses chosen for them-- walked down the aisle ahead of three flower girls who sprinkled rose petals on the path before the bride made her grand entrance. The bride's high-heeled Manolo Blahniks carrying her toward the man she loves, her diaphanous veil and the train of her wedding dress-- a refined silhouette designed with a detailed, body-conscious bodice and a full skirt by former
Project Runway contestant Austin Scarlett-- gently swept the ground as she passed by the guests who stood in her honor.

As she looked forward to the January 10th launch of her line of Mistress Couture lingerie, an event which drew 4,000 fans to the Venetian Hotel's TAO for the opportunity to watch Tawney Roberts, Teri Weigel, bride-to-be
Sunny Leone and other video beauties walk down the runway, adult entertainment star Tera Patrick reminisced about her 2004 walk down the aisle with rocker/actor Evan Seinfeld.
