Buzz will not rest until all of you are famous.
Our latest opportunity is for you and, potentially, your car!
“The Fast and The Furious V” will be doing some filming in Atlanta. Specifically, the film will shoot some party scenes near the Georgia Dome.
That’s where you and your wheels come in. From 5 to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, July 20, at the Atlanta Marriott Century Center off I-85 near Clairmont Road, casting crews will be on the hunt for extras.
(The hotel’s address and phone number: 2000 Century Boulevard NE, Atlanta, GA 30345; 404-325-0000.)
Because the film, which will once again star Vin Diesel, is to be set in Brazil, the casting folks will be looking for people who appear to be from there. They’re interested in “good looking” folks ages 18 to 30.
They’re also looking for cars to star as automotive extras. “Custom street racers,” whatever that means, are especially welcome.
But the bottom line is this: hot looking people and hot looking cars, come on.
If you’re interested please e-mail pictures of you and your ride, along with your age and contact info to ff5extras@gmail.com.

It’s an Atlanta landmark that’s been around for more than six decades, serving Southern favorites such as tomato pie, macaroni and cheese and fried chicken.
The only thing richer than the food at Mary Mac’s Tea Room is perhaps the restaurant’s history and popular customs. From filling out your order form and getting that first complimentary cup of pot likker with a piece of corn bread, to its famous diners (Dalai Lama, President Jimmy Carter, Hillary Rodham Clinton and James Brown, to name a few), Mary Mac’s has certainly made its mark.
This week, John Ferrell, who took over ownership of the tea room in 1994, will share 125 recipes in his new cookbook, “Mary Mac’s Tea Room: 65 Years of Recipes From Atlanta’s Favorite Dining Room” (Andrews McMeel, $27.99).

Seventeen new DeKalb County police officers will hit the streets Friday.
