Pain and Gain filming at Miami-Dade County jail
Here is an update on the filming of Pain and Gain from GossipExtra.com:
If you spotted Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg at a Miami-Dade County jail Tuesday, you saw right.
No, Wahlberg isn’t reverting back to his old ways of a street thug.
It’s just that Tuesday marked the start of filming for the Michael Bay shoot’em’up Pain and Gain, with Wahlberg, Dwayne Johnson, Ed Harris and Tony Shalhoub.
And the first scenes were filmed at The Stockade, aka The Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, a working, temporary holding facility near Miami International Airport.
Film Commissioner Sandy Lighterman tells me producers used an empty space inside the jail, and shot scenes by the barbwire fence outside.
The inmates?
“They were on lockdown for a while,” Lighterman said, “but things were done with minimal disturbance to them.”
The $25 million-film’s expected to be produced in its entirety in Miami-Dade and Broward counties over the next two months. The screenplay is based on a Miami New Times story about a crime spree by bodybuilders who worked out of the Sun Gym. They became known as the Sun Gym Gang. Two members, Daniel Lugo and Adrian Doorbal, are currently on death row.

Video about Wahlburgers from CBS Boston
CBS Boston posted a new video and article about Wahlbrugers:
HINGHAM (CBS) – The hottest new burger joint this side of Hollywood, Walhburgers, is the newest creation of chef Paul Wahlberg, and his famous actor brothers Mark and Donnie.
Located in the Hingham Shipyard, across the street from their other restaurant Alma Nove, Wahlburgers serves burgers, dogs, shakes, and fries.
Here, the three-ounce all-natural burgers are griddled on the flat-top, and served up with lettuce, tomato, and homemade pickles, on a fresh baked roll.
Plus, there are three specialty burgers, one for each brother. And if you look closely, you’ll see that the toppings are actually on the bottom, so you get all the right stuff in every mouthful.
In addition the burgers, there are creamy frappes, golden fried sides, and steamed hot dogs.
And while Paul is the Wahlberg brother you’re most likely to see at the restaurant, Mark and Donnie are well represented here too with their movie clips on the TV’s, and posters on the walls.
“It pays homage to who we are as a family. From our roots in Dorchester, all the way to today,” said Paul.

Monsters and Critics article about Mark Wahlberg
Mark is interviewed by Monsters and Critics about spoiling his kids.
Mark Wahlberg finds it hard not to spoil his kids.
The 40-year-old 'Contraband' actor - who has children Ella, eight, Michael, six, Brendan, three and one-year-old Grace with wife Rhea Durham - admits he likes to treat his brood but insists they understand the importance of giving back.
He said: 'I do spoil them to a certain extent but they also understand that not a lot of people have this life.
'My kids like giving back. My daughter's always telling me: 'Pop, I'm going to take these toys to the hospital for the sick kids and the less fortunate'. They still live in the real world but it's a fine line. I certainly want my kids to have everything that I never had but you also want them to appreciate the value of things.
'Nobody in my family, my parents or their parents, had money or success. I worked hard to get what I have and I still work hard every day.'
Having been raised by as the youngest of nine children in Boston, Massachusetts, Mark believes fame and fortune haven't diluted his working-class attitude.
He told the Metro newspaper: 'Obviously, I am still the same at the core. Just because you have money doesn't really change you.
'Listen, I've always thought that at any time it could all go away and I could end up right where I came from. I have a lot of people keeping me grounded: my wife, my mother and my friends.'

Update on Wahlburgers from the Boston Herald
Here is an update about Wahlburgers from the Boston Herald:
Wahlburgers NOT Opening in UK and Ireland in 2012
Think Mark Wahlberg is getting ahead of himself? The Hollywood heavy, who opened Wahlburgers, a Hingham Shipyard burger emporium with his brothers, Donnie and Paul, last fall told a UK paper yesterday that the bros plan to “open a bunch of them in Britain and Ireland this year.”
Um, not so fast, Marky.
Donnie, who stars in CBS’ “Blue Bloods,” and Paul, a chef who owns Alma Nove across the street from the burger joint, said no one will be flipping burgers outside of Hingham — never mind outside of the country — for some time. In fact, the Fenway location that Mark told the Inside Track about a couple of weeks ago is still in the planning stages, report the brothers.
“We have a lot of interest from a lot of people who would like to franchise new locations, but we are a new business with a ways to go before we open location number two,” Donnie told the Track.
Paul’s spokesgal Mindy Valone said there are “no immediate plans for expansion at this time,” and “they’re talking about Boston, but nothing has been set in stone yet.”
The Brothers Wahlberg are “really happy with the success in Hingham,” she said. And no wonder.
“A successful burger place takes maybe $2,400 a day and a really successful one does $6,000,” Mark told the UK’s Metro. “We’re making $17,000 a day. There are lines queuing around the corner.”
